hey stl blog team(i.e. Liza) So i have completed my labour on the boat and now i am on my way to being dive certified. Today I learned the basic of the gear, bouyancy and such in a pool. This was supplemented with classes, lecture, and videos. All very nice and informative. There really is quite a lot to know before even thinking about jumping out to see. It looks as though i will be able to have an underwater camera so perhaps some hip pictures may result. Thats all for now. talk to you later(liza). [View Full Entry]

Anywho, i am 3 days deep into my boat work experience and it is bruising hard. i know you must be thinking...o shut up brad...living in austrlaia...but i aint kiddin. This is seriously the hardest work i have ever done. It is a bit difficult to describe what i have been doing....the basic scrubbing and painting is constantly happening all around in awkward places...but the real stinker is putting what are called balists in what is called a bilge. A balist is a gold bar looking stone [View Full Entry]

That night was a special "Rocky horror picture show" evening...with live band and an end of school year crowd. Being the transvestite wanna-be that i am, i decked myself out in one of Lara's hot black skirts, tight black tops, and yummy stuffffed bra...and all the proper goth makeup as well.

so my days as an australia slacker may soon come to an end. I may do 1 of 3 things. 1) There is an offer to work as a crew type member on a boat, which would include full days of painting, sanding and general repair. At the conclusion of this 5 day work period...they would dive certify me for free. So that may be an excellent oppurtunity to save some dough and acquire madd skills. 2) run a local radio show. this would be extra cool because of the oppurtunity to use my ipod to provide the music. I could [View Full Entry]

But the wait was worth it...as now I am living leisurely in tropical weather with LAra. I arrived about 4 days ago...and have done a few cool things so far. First off though, I guess I will kind of explain the setup. I am staying with LAra in here campus dorms. She is going to James Cook University nearby. She has been in class for awhile and is fast approaching finals. The tricky part is that [View Full Entry]
