I'm TERRIBLY sorry, but I cannot provide pictures of my life because I do not have a camera! What I can do, though, is write a thousand words- which will substitute the contents of one picture! A blackened monolith towers above you. (Actually, it is more of a triolith- having three distinct protruding bits sticking up toward the usual grey, cloudy skies) People on the street outside are walking really fast in both directions- not because they need to get somewhere, just because they want to get out of the misty rain-like stuff falling all around. It is the most annoying [View Full Entry]

Well... can't put photos on this time either cos Alaya has the camera under lock and key (literally)... But since my last entry I have got myself a job in the Caledonian Brewery (starting tomorrow!) worked nightshift in a newspaper factory, served rich people in a fine dining restaurant, spent the last of my money and booked tickets with Ash to go to London next weekend for musical purposes! Ash and I have started playing music again (in the stairwell of the hostel!) and we're heading to down to hopefully meet up with the manager/producer/important dude who gave me offerings of [View Full Entry]

Stumbled across Ash and Alaya again this morning as they were checking into the Castle Rock Hostel- our new home. Have decided to stay here as it's much cheaper than a house, plus it's directly across the road from the Edinburgh Castle! Alaya has a camera, so I'll fight over it with her and try to get more photos happening on here soon. :) Going for a job interview today and I also have a trial on Friday night in a restaurant- thanks to Dre! Much music, much good times to be had by all... will keep in touch. [View Full Entry]

I met a random stranger last night (well, not that random, I s'pose... she is a fellow couchsurfer) and she just happens to be the coolest person in Edinburgh! I spent most of yesterday wandering aimlessly up and down the Royal Mile- a road in the middle of the old part of town leading to the castle, lined with hunreds of ancient imposing gothic buildings. That in itself was pretty incredible, but then at about 5 o'clock I got a text message from a strange number asking if I wanted to go for a drink. Not having anything to do or [View Full Entry]

Edinburgh is awesome! I'm kinda GLAD I don't have a camera on me, or I'd be doing NOTHING else but taking photos! It kinda reminds me of Freo... apart from the black gothic castles... and... well... it's nothing like Freo... but it's incredibly cool! I think I will stick around here for a while! Couchsurfed again last night (or "GlobalFreeloaded", actually) with two girls from Capel, WA! I give up, I JUST CAN'T AVOID THE WEST AUSTRALIANS!! :) They are really cool and are letting me crash again tonight before I move onto... god knows where! Meeting Ash & Alaya again [View Full Entry]

Right, well this will be the last time (for a while) that I'll be able to post photos on my blog as my camera got stolen last night at the Em Dee gig. shmeh. Shit happens. HOWEVER, the gig was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Although it may be hard to imagine, I danced harder than I ever have before (had a dance-off with Lukas too- he seems to have just as much energy as I do!) I also saw and said g'day to the Panda Band- a band from Perth who know a mate of mine, Jeff Strong- and I told them to [View Full Entry]

Um... how to put this...? ...I've been offered a record deal in London. :P After playing one song on Lila (my only original song with words!) at an open mic in front of industy professionals, I was approached by a guy called Mike Dixon who manages bands like Ron Sexsmith and The Spinto Band (whoever those people are! :)- actually i've hear of the sexsmith guy, he's pretty big) and he just started raving about my song and how he'd like me to come and hang out in London to so some recording! I told him about Double Entendre and how [View Full Entry]

Well yet again I find myself at an internet facility that denies me of my right to share my photos. So bad luck for all of you. Meanwhile, though I'm currently staynig with a Couchsurfing host (the first of what I intend to be many! :) in central Manchester. She's really nice and I pretty much have the flat to myself most of the time- so far. I'm getting well-keen for Em Dee on Sunday night! (The reason I came here in the first place- a didgeridoo pilgrimage! :) And I'm about to go to a conference at the library on [View Full Entry]

I MADE IT! I actually stayed in one of the incredibly long place names England has to offer! Unfortunately, it doesn't have photo access to offer, so this little texty entry will have to suffice. I'm staying with Alaya's auntie Debbie (who is REALLY cool!) at the moment and Alaya should be arriving today. LOTS of job prospects arising in Scotland! mmmm... :) [View Full Entry]
