Quite a lot has been happening here. And lots of buddies have been asking what the hell I am doing... Where do I begin? How about the beginning... or somewhere conveniently nearby...
Lets start with "most common" question number one, "Hey man, where are you living now?"
I'm crashing in a "private hotel". Some would and have mocked this description by referring to it as a halfway house/guest house/hostel/convent... those people are wankers. (apparently that word wasn't in the Google dictionary...is now.)
Anyways.
There are telcom workers, couples, single rooms, double rooms, three bedroom apartments, and mini houses all over this place. This place is OK, it could be better though.
I'm going to shoot outside now and take some pics and show you.
And here they are...

Here is the view directly to the right of my mean PC machine, notice the lovely native New Zealand foliage that embraces the earth.It's unfortunate that you can't actually access this area - I've been told it is, I mean would be a good place to have a smoke.

This is the ladder right outside my door, it is the room that the poor people must live in because they cannot afford a ground based room. It upsets me when they make noise late at night climbing in to their cell... I mean bed.

In the courtyard, to the south west of my room, we have a large palm growing, this is nice but it is inhabited by Sparrows and a Tui. The Tui is too fucking loud and keeps everyone awake. The Sparrows like to shit everywhere.

This is the view from the base of the palm, notice the shit I referred to previously, also the ground has been poisoned by the dirty smokers whom also reside here. The fronds that you can see on the ground are the remnants of the gardeners work today. I expect they'll sit there and rot for a month or so before he gathers them up.

We have some rich folk here too - with BMW's. I have learnt not to question other peoples incomes. Especially ones who live in single bedroom rooms and go back and forth late late at night. It's not polite.

We also have a man-oven. You can cook six roasts in this bastard at once, that's roasts with spuds and veges mate.
So that's pretty much it. Moving along then...
"Most common" question number two,
"Hey man, how is the cat?"Well... in case you didn't see my previous post...
Hakken is doing really well, he sent me some pics, here they are:

Apparently, he decided he needed some freedom so he went and got driving lessons. In this pic he is making sure that he perfects safe reversing.

The orange eye reduction feature obviously wasn't on when this pic was taken. As you can see, he is also being the mack daddy and getting the ladies too.

Life's mysteries have also been filling his time lately and he has recently postulated that in a multi dimensioned universe he is in fact the three dimensional shadow of his true four dimensional self and that all the things he sees and interacts with are his mind shaping the universe. He likes quantum mechanics too.

When he is not pleasuring the ladies, taking driving lessons, or pondering stuff - he usually just chats on gmail.

He also met some other dodgey cats and they have been smoking up hard styles and listening to some nasty dirty drum and bass. He said it was really filthy.
He seems to be doing well and passes his regards on to all.
Time for a break - more of your questions answered upon my return.
Peace.
