photos, two of them being of me.

me refusing to be a "responsible adult", my yarn which is not yet a scarf, the geographical center of new zealand, east of nelson, the geographical center of new zealand, and the setting sun lighting my hair.

news: i may have a part-time job at a fish factory, there is an "induction" on tuesday i am going to.  (sometimes they use the strangest words here, i would have just said "orientation".)  i got to talk to my friend toni yesterday on the phone, and we talked for 45 minutes.  it was pretty much just 45 minutes of awesome!  and, i made king's cake on tuesday and shared it with the other people at the backpacker's.  it was gone by the next morning, although i did eat something like four of those pieces myself.  oh!  and on monday, leah and i went to watch the superbowl at a sports bar.  it was the most americans i had seen since i left auckland, and all in one place.  i think i can safely say that we all had a good time.  lastly, we met a couple from wisconsin staying at the almond house, and i learned about a company that hires support people for scientific expeditions to antarctica (mostly things i can't do though) and i can now play cribbage to a certain degree.

i think that's pretty much it, really!
