Jan. 17th, 2008 10:10 amThis was my day in Brisbane.
First, we visited my brother's prospective new living place which he will be sharing with our Germanish cousins.
Me: This seems like an okay place with kitchens and stuff and plus you get to live with sterling examples of Aryan handsomeness AUGH SPIDER AUGH IT IS ENORMOUS
Then I went to see if Unilodge had received my application for the unit my parents bought.
Me: So basically what you are saying is that you have my application?
Unilodge Guy: No. We are saying...the opposite of that, actually.
Me: Ah, yes, I'll move right in.
Unilodge Guy: You appear to have misunderstood us. Or maybe you are hysterical.
Me: I will wear odd clothes and scare all your polite Asians!
My Dad: (hastily) We bought a unit for her to live in!
Unilodge Guy: She never told us that! There's a box! On the form! You have to tick it!
Me: I remember no such box!
There was no such box. I need to find a new place to live in Brisbane in less than a month because I did not tick a box that wasn't there. This is a dilemma bordering upon the metaphysical.
On the other hand, Borders!
There was Absolute Watchmen! And Absolute Sandman! And X-Wing books! And play adaptations for Terry Pratchett books!
We also went to the park while my brother sorted out QANTM-y things and I ordered the girliest drink I could find: a Rasperry and Mint Frappe. It tasted of fresh fruit and deliciousness.
Anyway, does anyone have any advice on what the heck I'm supposed to do now?
