Throw some water on me, I am melting...
I finally remembered the one thing worse then 38C/100F degree weather with horrid humidity... that when you have that weather, and you get a little itty bit of rain, but not enough to cool things off, but in turn, makes things stickier and more sweaty. Not to mention the smell. It is like one of Gods pracitical jokes.
Meet up with Michelle and Tina today, and Nick was supringly there as well, which was a fantastic suprise, poor Tina though when Michelle, Nick and myself started talking about Harry Potter and couldn't get off the subject (btw... my new favourite theory is that Petunia is a expelled Hogwarts student, wand broken, thus very bitter with the entire Magic World).
Of all things after the Harry Potter stuff we started talking about Brissie and which places have yuppified. I still cannot get over the shock that Inala of all places has suddenly moved up the 'place to want to live' ladder and yuppified. It is like South-Central LA or Cabbramatta getting trendies moving into it. Shocking. Alot of the traditionally scuzzie inner-suburbs (like Canon Hill, Paddington, Eight Mile Plains and Hawthorne I can understand as it goes with the inner-suburban renewal happening in Australia at the moment, but Inala... it is on the fringes of Brisbane and full of nothing but shady looking Housing Commission Homes).
It is almost as shocking as Pauline Hanson becoming a Ballroom Dancer!
Went to Dymocks to spend the gift vouchure I got for Christmas, I was shocked at how expensive that bookstore was. The one book I did like unfortunately did leave me with an ackward amount of change, still to much to get it cashed out, but not enough to purchase anything decent. I might get it latter on if I can find something else I like and I may just suppliment the different in price. But still, that store is not somewhere I'd shop regularly unless I was blowing huge chucks of change out of my arse on a regular basis.
