Hmmm, another Saturday with lousy weather? Quelle surprise!

And the people at work get annoyed with me not having explored beyond the busiest parts of Sydney CBD, but if this keeps up, I never will! Today it's not raining, but it is gloomy looking.

Missed a good chunk of the day anyway as I was out much later than usual and thus slept much later than usual. Woke up at about 12: “Hmmm, it looks cloudy outside. Is it worth getting up yet? Probably not.” Up at 1.

So anyway, it was Friday night drinks at work again yesterday, and the lessons I learned from the previous two occasions of “eat something substantial before 5” and “pace yourself” in order to last past midnight paid off pretty well: I lasted till about 4! Till the clubs turned on the lights and literally played Semisonic’s “Closing Time”: you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here. Well, I went home.

So, my first taste of true Sydney night life/clubbing involved a place that was relatively empty – although it was pretty late by the time we got there – and the music they were playing was the kind that I’m OK with, but if Alaina T had been there, she’d have gone off and found a corner for a nap. Anyway, I guess by that point I was running on lack of sleep, but I had fun.

Today I had a list of things to do that ended up not being too successful, mainly due to my late wakeup and being disorganized/not patient. Oh well.

This internet cafe always plays the most interesting music! It's either Dido on repeat or random 80s/90s songs I haven't heard in forever.
