 Howdy! How has everyones New Year been so far? Its only day 3 but by now you should have a bit of an inkling of what is in store.

I have been good. On Sunday I woke up at about 12.30pm all tired out from a couple of late nights. That was not so good. Then Jane Ann and I went to this place where there were walking trails and the ruins of a big old house. It was very cool. There was a fair bit  snow around the place but is wasn’t all that cold to some of the snow was starting to melt. This made it rather slippery. I was a big chicken going down the hills aswell. I did NOT want to fall all the way down the hill. On one reasonably large slippery decline I sat down and slid down like I was on a slide. It worked but I had a wet bottom for the whole rest of the walk. It was a very nice place and I have photos that I will put on the journal within 2 weeks (I really will put photos on soon. I promise)

On Monday I wasn’t doing much but I ended up ringing about a job. It was advertised ‘Air Quality Technicians’ training provided. I took this to mean that they wanted people to test the quality of the air. Anyway, I rung up and they asked me for an interview that day. So, I got ready, asked Joe to give me a lift and I was off. When I got there the first question I was asked was “Do you have a resume?” This question was to be repeated by many people throughout the time I was there.

When I got in for the interview the man told me that there were three jobs going. One was in sales, one was in manufacturing and one was as a telemarketer. Then he asked for my resume and told me I could go. This took about 2 minutes. I asked him if there was anything else and he said he was just collecting resumes to pass on to his boss. HOW ANNOYING. I could have just emailed it to them. I will not be working there.

 We were listening to the radio the other day and the intro was about a hot new band out of Vancouver and their new song. I was very shocked to realise that I had heard this song before recorded by none other than our own Shannon Noll. It was the song ‘Shine’! The Canadian band did a much better job of it but still I am unsure of who has copied who.

It is great to hear from sporadic commenters like Brenton as well as regular commenters like Simon. I will award prizes for the best single comment in July. Get ready to be ranked! :-)

 Ok! Have a good day. I’ll talk to you soon!

Me and Helen went to see Napoleon Dynamite last night at Kings Park and we got our picture taken and they told us it would be on the internet. It should be at www.maxsuper.com.au . Its a hip new superannuation company for the kids! They better put the picture up or I will destroy them. I wish it was snowing here. Snow would be cool. Hope you continue to have a super fun time

You should give a special prize for the best comment every month, or people will be lazy until July. I'm glad the New Year seems to be going well for you. I hope you are able to get a job that suits you and gives you time to do other things like sightseeing. Please watch your step on that slippery snow (it's sometimes called slush). You don't want to end up in hospital! Keep well. Love. Mum.

I am so overjoyed at being referred to as a commentatator...then I realised it said commenter. Still it will always be my dream to dethrone Bruce Macavaney as the greatest commentator ever...now may i give a top ten list of my own? 10 reasons why I should be awarded the prize in July rather than Simon 1. I am much better looking than Simon 2. I was the only person to inform you of Martina Hingis's return to professional tennis 3. I am the only person to have referred to SupaValu in every single comment 4. I have made less comments than Simon because I know “you can have too much of a good thing” 5. I have nicer abs that Simon James 6. I have NOT made reference in any comment to disgusting things such as strip poker, nude vacuuming and Susannah Carr 7. I am the only person who has written a comment causing an arrest (I was responsible for the arrest of Greg Dean due to posting information about stolen Christmas Hams) 8. I have not referred to Enid Blyton as “Illiterate yet Successful!”...I loved Enid’s books 9. My peck muscles are much more defined than Simon James 10. I have provided ample evidence that the prize will be mine
