[::] one:

why hello there. Welcome.
Latest gnuz: moved into the new place at epping, we are more or less formally 'the dentists'. Have moved in with goodSteve and badSteve, named as such as to put the cat amongst the pigeons as for easy labelling too. It's handy, you should try it. So we've been in this place for a little while now [since the 25th march, actually], and we're starting to settle in nicely for the coming winter. Still some things are in boxes, and that's where they'll probably stay for a while at least.
It's an interesting beastie, the semi-regular house move. I've been renting for almost 12 years now, and at last count that would be :

1* 23 pugsley ave estella estate
2* that house in tumut
3* edward str wagga [in a cupboard]
4* collins street wagga
5* fox street wagga
6* 266 quarrie rd north ryde nsw
7* 42 jeanette st east ryde nsw
8* 24 long avenue north ryde
9* 53 trevitt rd north ryde
10* and currently : dent st epping.

...and no indication that this journey in the land of renting is coming to an end just yet.
We finally had ADSL connected last week, which is awesome. It was about 6 weeks before that on dial-up which is a bit of a shock to the system after cable internet for several years. So yeh, back on it again.
This house is considerably smaller than any other place we've had up to this point. This is not neccessarily a bad thing, the large places we've been lucky enough to get previously have been more than enough for ourselves and all our junk and the various and numberous freeloaders that we call friends, and indeed ourselves from time to time. ~(:^D) We had nine ppl at one stage at the original junglehouse [42 jeanette] and i think seven in the last place at trevitt rd. This makes for a horrendously disorganised but very fun environment to be in. But things change. After a while, the preference of keeping the chaos just a little away from the front doorstep rises to the yellow frothy top of the australian shared house experience.
...And we're doing ok so far too. Did i tell you that in the move from the last place to here we threw out 760kg of junk? Sure there was a lounge in there, but whoah, was there a lot which wasn't lounge. Even with all the spare change and cigarette lighters that such lounges invariably eat, a lounge isn't going to contribute too heavily to that total eh.... certainly not the lounges we'd buy anyway.
I have not much more to say right now other than it's been raining continiously for about 5 days here in Sydney, while the rest of nsw is in drought. It's been raining so much in the last 2 months that a 45cm long aquarium i have in the backyard has almost conpletely filled with rainwater.
...a dark stagnant damp winter approaches..
