Another Email and More

Hi Jo
no jonny hasn't changed his mind about the business, it's still a drag! but i've thought a little more on the subject of our business. i think what i'm uncomfortable with is that if we sell it, there will be someone else working under our family name. i'd prefer if we just shut it down leaving it a memory that we can reminisce back on.
don't worry about the knitting lessons, there probably won't be any time!
there's a dance called Ska? i know of ska music but i really can't imagine the dance that would go with that!
i haven't really gotten to the stage of going to art exhibitions, being able to look at a piece and making any comments past 'nice' or 'interesting'. i went to the art deco exhibition with the school this year, i liked that, i think it's knowing the reasoning and constraints behind the art that interests me. i haven't really picked a category of art that i like, but i guess i have a bit of a tendency to lean in the direction of prints.
i saw the mamma mia movie and i loved it! i plan to buy it sometime when the dvd gets cheaper. yesterday i finally bought the La Vie En Rose dvd! i haven't watched it yet but i'm in the middle of Pan's Labryrinth, mum got hooked and is making me wait to watch it with her!
about our canberra trip
could you help me out by giving a few pointers on what to pack?
mum says that there probably won't be anyone able to pick us up from the airport, so i'll be looking for a way to get to the glen waverley train line. feels much more exciting than just being picked up by mum! so once we get to melbourne, will you be coming over to our place or going to settle down...where will you be staying in melbourne?
i see you as the writing kind of person, do you keep a journal? there's something about hardcovers that i just cannot resist!
yesterday i went to see an asian doctor with mum and dad in the morning, met up with some friends to go shopping in the afternoon and had dinner and coffee [hot chocolate in my case] with jonny, jo and aunty ratna. by the end of the day i was stuffed on pasta and chocolate! it was raining a little and a bit chilly since jonny had forgotten the coat i had asked to bring for me, but it's easy to forget when huddling up with aunty ratna under an umbrella!
i hope the weather will be good next week!
if it's inconvenient to pick me up and drop me off at the airport i'm alright to take public transport and do a little walking if you'd just tell me the way. there's something exciting about the thought of being in a new place and getting lost [if you ignore the whole dark alleyway, drugs and rape side of it!]
seeing you even sooner

jess.i'm a bette davis fan

and now, some points i left out of my email to my grandma!

the dvds i bought yesterday:
la vie en rose
the little mermaid trilogy
singing in the rain
greys anatomy [first season]

it was a bit of a quest looking for la vie en rose! the first jb i went to was out of stock [as well as black books] and then brittany and julia left me with another 2hrs to wander around till jonny would get to the city

so i decided to just go a-walking and try and stumble apon the dvd jb shop...in the rain

then i needed to pee

so i went into myer...and walked and walked without finding the toilets

asked a lady with a european accent in the beauty section for the general direction of the toilets

it was upstairs

of course

and for some reason, everytime i passed the entry alarms for any department and shop, in AND out, the alarm would go off

which delayed me even longer since i was too scared to pass a particular alarm

then once i got sick of wander around for the long-awaited stumble

i went into melbourne central looking for someone with a friendly face to ask directions

...took me a while

i went into quite a few shops suspiciously looking at the stock while trying to get the courage to ask, then walking out with my alarm-setting-off-bag of goodies

then i finally decided to ask a random indian guy in one of those booths in the middle of the...walky-area

ends up, i just had to go up the stairs [which lead to the exit] turn right, and walk up past the traffic lights

ahh i was so close

found la vie en rose

and the little mermaid trilogy

but damnit black books was also out of stock

this means i'll have to pay a visit to knox every week until i find that box set!

got sunnies today

oroton too

free too

lol it was 'free' cos my parents had built up points or something...medicare...i don't know

but i got an eye chek, and my eyes are perfectly healthy

but not brian's! his show signs of possible future deteriation

hahahahahahahahaha

sigh....there's something about glasses that attract me too....
