Famous Last Words

Well well well,what do we have here, its a blog thats been sitting and waiting for 2 months with no update, well to alleviate my friends and annoy my enemies i'm not actually dead.
Just incredibly busy/lazy and also i've been waiting for confirmation of a major change in my life.
For the last couple of years i have been habouring a semi secret need, those of you who know me well enough will know that i'm very fond of animals. So now i'm independant without the authority of parents or university i decided it was about time i got a pet, but no oridnary pet but a cat,, but no ordinary cat but a pure bred (just so i can lord it over other people), this explains the time taken to arrange ownership since i originally started out with a bid on an abyssinan (http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/abyssinian.html), then it changed to a somali(http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/somali.html) and then back to an aby( specifically one of these http://www.abyrose.co.nz/abyssinian_kittens.htm ). and so slightly out of pocket i now have ownership of a kitten from the end of jan. What i'll call him is a toss up between X-phos or Monty, however suggestions are encouraged (and may not necessarily be ignored).

This hunt for a cat then leads into another hunt, the hunt for a new flat, since my current dwellings aren't great cat homes, especially since the breed of choice has a preference for getting run over. So the great flat hunt began at the end of November and still continues (i'm going to see 2 tomorrow)

The problem with new flats is that you have to explain to prospective flatmates that you loudly play guitar and that you have to practice lots because your in a band, thats right with one seemless transition i have informed everyone that i'm in a band, thanks to some creative advertising and the power of expensive equiment i have joined a covers band, which very handily play covers of songs that have played all of my guitaring life (greenday, weezer, muse). so look out scene i think andy is finally catching up!

I think that marks the major changes in the last 2 months , on the minor front i grew a mo as part of movemeber, however after realising what a tosser i looked it was promptly shaved off.
Other than that the roll in to christmass has been slightly easier this time round (less S.A.D) and i have thrashed my way through loads of alcohol as part of the many parties required by this time of year. pictures to come.
On friday i jump on a plane to go to melbourne for the 4th ashes test which by now we have already lost , it also means you'll soon be seeing some Andy on holiday wasted photos.

Other than that my knee is back to full strength (never again will i mock physiotherapy) and the weather has finally after some major hiccups turned good.

That leaves me the joy(chore) of wishing you all a Merry Xmas and a happy new year.
As for me this blo will continue into 2007 (i'm looking forward to its anniversary ) with the previews for now indicating i'll be receving many guests (Paul your gonna get so wasted in wellington) and potentially a secondment to canberra waiting in the wings.

Go out and listen to some David Bowie (no i'm not drunk ) and have an awesome holiday whether your in the UK, Canada, Poland, Australia or in NZ (like Guy who is spending xmas at my house).
