for darcy....

and for Steph, too.  I think you two might be the only ones left reading my blog.  Anyway, Darcy asked that I be better at updating because apparently talking to me once a day online isn't enough to really get a feel for my life.  hehe.

So here I am sailing on the Harbour...
Actually, not.  With the new photo editer, I can't upload photos and write at the same time and it takes forever (like a good 15 minutes) for me to upload photos onto blogger.  Steph, do you know any blogger tricks that will allow me to keep writing while the uploader does it's thing?

For now, you'll just have to see my photos on facebook or wait until I upload them to flickr.  Sorry.

The story is that last Saturday I decided to do some in-depth experiential research for my paper on Plum Creek and Moosehead Lake, so I took some friends up on the offer of going sailing on the Harbour.  Beautiful day + warm weather = perfect research setting.  We left from Greenwich, sailed under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House, and over to Watsons Bay for a swim and a bbq.  mmmm kangaroo meat mmmm.  We got back to Greenwich in time for me to find out that some asshole with no imagination or driving skills had decided that I parked him in and called the cops.  In the process he freaked out my cousins whose car I had borrowed and who thought that I had gotten kidnapped and was lying tied up in my apartment while the criminal made up off with the car.  All was put right in the end when the cops came, saw the car, and decided that the guy was just an idiot.  By the time I got back, my cousins were laughing about the whole thing and the guy was more bitter than ever.  Let's just say it was an interesting end to the day.

Today's my last day of uni for the year- although, I still have quite a few assignments to hand in.  A big celebration will be in order when this is all over.  For now, I'm off to the library.

Love you!!

Can you upload more than one photo at once? Sometimes I have several photos I want to upload and it is just a little painstaking.

And I am glad you went sailing even if it put you further behind on your work. Sailing is important.

Also.
"mmmm kangaroo meat mmmm"... you're kidding, right? I want to try some! And I miss summer already.

"We got back to Greenwich in time" sounds like "Greenwich time" which is definitely not where you are.

To post more than one photo, you need to use the new photo editor on blogger. I have an email somewhere that tells you how to do it- it's in settings somewhere. The problem I found, though, that in the new editor you can't start the upload process and then go back to your blog to keep writing...

and YES of course I meant the real kangaroo meat. If you come visit you can have some too.

Hey! I'm still reading even though I don't check it as often as I'd like. About the new photo editor-- I haven't figured out a way to keep typing as I upload, but I love that I can upload a bunch of pictures at once instead of just the five the old one would do. I find it a much easier more efficient tool. Hope you've figured it out!
