lost in translation
So I'm currently in Sydney for a week, for work. So far, it's been a little overwhelming, perhaps the responsibility of having to actually go to work and stay sober is what differentiates this venture from past holidays.
I've left my phone at my cousins place which is out past Liverpool. Which is near Cabramatta. Scary. If anyone knows what I'm like when I don't have my phone back in Melbourne, imagine me without my phone in a foreign place. Thankfully I made it onto a bus safely to take me to the dangerous train station of Cabramatta. Thankfully from there, I boarded a train to take me to the city station of Town Hall...passing Granville and Redfern. Nice. *claudemaus wipes a tear of fear from his eye*
... And now, Daniel Powter's radio hit song, 'Bad Day' is playing over the radio here at the convenience store where I'm weblogging.
I'll see how I go. Perhaps retail therapy will calm my nerves. Either that or a bong hit.
Help me.

I cant believe you took the train past all these suburbs, risking your life for your mobile phone.
But on second thoughts - i can believe it. It's you, after all.
Just show up to work, be your brilliant self, see what Sydney's all about - then next thing you know you're at home on L.C, replaying Missy Higgins and id be filling you in with the latest ;)
x Always,

No, sweetie, I don't think you understand, I am still without my mobile phone.
I left it at my cousins place this morning and was locked out of their house. So I've continued my plan to shop and discover Sydney. Lol.
Hopefully I'll have it back in the next couple of days. Miss you all heaps.

Jeeesus
ARE YOU OK???!
You mean to say you havent had a phone for at least three days straight?
And what have you been doing to aleviate such a horrible circumstance?? I'd be hittin the fan by now.
I met all the new Sydney-siders last night at the meeting. Hmmmm. I sat there for half an hour then left.
All i could do was drink the San Pellegrino and stare at the South Yarra new-blood ;)
