Of Self Realization and Toilet Fluid Mechanics

So I woke up this morning to the sound of kookaburra birds and accented 'hello's, and I realized something. I'm in AUSTRALIA.

It's weird. I'm completely overwhelmed. It's borderline terrifying. To add to this, alot of drastic things have happened in both Chicago and Ann Arbor while I was gone, meaning I won't exactly be welcomed with the old familiarity of things.

But I can't exactly do much about those things while I'm on this side of the planet. All I can do is whatever I can at 100%.

Let's make an earth sandwich. I'll hug this side, and you hug the other. Post a picture.

And now for the main event.



Personally, I am appalled and disgusted. All the toilets I have encountered thus far (which consist of only school and pub toilets) yeild the same inconclusive downward suction. Surely further research is required. I'm sure that somewhere, in the town of Come-and-Help-Yourself in this Rough-and-Ready land, there is a toilet that can tell us something more satisfactory.

A list of upcoming updates:
Sydney Mardi Gras Parade (In which Adrian has many embarrassing pictures)
Things Australians Say Wrong #2 (In which cultural linguistics are observed)
Miscellaneous Observation Cartoon Drawings (In which it won't happen until I find a scanner)
Things that can and will kill you in Australia #1 (In which the list is long)
Adrian Explores The Beach (In which he is getting a nice tan)
Sound Relief (In which 10 straight hours of well known bands shall rock the house)

Hahboar Crooze

Classes started today! I only had Design and Manufacturing today, but maaaaan that was just enough to make me realize how inconvenient the English system is when everyone uses Metric. I can't guesstimate 100mm my way out of a wet paper bag.

BUT ANYWAY two weeks ago, we went on a harbor cruise on the bay. Aaaaaand here's how it all went down.

Although, a fast moving boat complemented with all the crappy Heineken you can drink is a bad combination for photography~

And then everyone went inside and danced.

And then people danced on the campus sculptures on the way back to the dorm.

This dancing thing. It might become a problem.

"Things Australians Say Wrong" #1

Here's another featured part of my blog! It's called "Things Australians Say Wrong". Obviously, since they say SO MANY THINGS wrong, this will be an ongoing installment!! Accompanied sometimes will be a short story on how I discovered their linguistic wrongdoings.

OK READYSETGO.

Flip Flops = Thongs

American = Sepo (Apparently because Septic Tank rhymes with 'Yank'. Yeesh, a little harsh for a country we haven't invaded or 'liberated' yet.)

'Z' (the letter) = 'Zed' (I found this out when I asked for the combination to a locked room in the dorm. For some reason, I just assumed 'Zed' meant that you had to type in Z, E, and D. It took me about 40 minutes before someone passed and corrected me.)

Breakfast = Brekkie (Because all of Australian slang is basically baby talk.)

THAT'S ALL YOU GET.

In other news, classes start tomorrow, and I'm stuck with a whole box of wine I couldn't bring to a parade yestarday :(

Ok so yeah

OK OK, I admit the last post was weak as shit. But please just come back home, baby needs you.

I'm happy to announce the first Letter to the Editor for the Tanklad blog!

This one comes from my mommy! God bless her soul.

(regarding the post made on February 25th)

hi Adrian

FYI: they are commonly called "moobs" not man tits.

Love

yomama

Gee thanks mom, but I just don't see the grace in this!!

In other news, I am here and you are not.

These are my feet, probably the only parts of my body in which I take pride. Unfortunately I completely forgot to put sun tan lotion on my back, and I am completely burnt on that side.

Also, I found this typical kickass surfer van on my way from the beach. This will be my future dream car, which will compliment my dream home which consists of a giant bouncy castle with a ball pit in the living room.

On another side note, whenever I see a really cool vehicle, the first thing I think about is how it would look like in robot form if it were a transformer. I'm sure this one would just be a 2 story tall, chrome plated android of John McCrea from Cake.

I woke up this morning, and what did I see?

A totally real photograph I took this morning. Can you find the hidden banana in the photo???

Heeeeeeeeeeere's to ADRIAN, he's true blue,
Heeeeeeeeeeee's a wanker through and through,
Heeeeeeeeeeee's a bastard so they say,
TRIED TO GO TO HEAVEN BUT HEWENTTHEOTHERWAY!!!

So now my mom is reading my blog? That's pretty cool.

Does YOUR mom read YOUR blog? DIDN'T THINK SO.

Taking this into consideration, I will now post pictures of last night's Jelly Wrestling.

Whatta beautiful audience!

AND THEN THE FIGHT.

THE CHALLENGER!!

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD.

THE NATIVE OPPONENT.

HAUGHUGAUGHGAGUHGAUGH I LOST :( .



Then we danced.

-The End-

Ohmigosh

Australia MELTED.


I didn't do it :[
