Ugly Girl

There's an ugly girl named Cory painting her nails on my floor. Cheo and I invited her to spend her 16th birthday with us in Boston. Crazyness, Cory is going to be 16! The mind boggles. Man, we're all so old. I turned 26 recently and i'm feeling it in every inch of my body. Its all down hill from here apparently.

Cheo and i found an entertainment center by the side of the road. We dragged/carried it back to our apartment where it now waits for the tv that Abuelo sent up. Thanks Abuelo!

Crikey

I haven't written in this thing in ages. Probably because my days seem all the more full with Jose to keep me company.

Cheo and i have a new place that we can't wait to move into. And you all are invited to visit! I've had the boy living on the floor of my room for about 2 months now. We are getting along surprisingly well in these close quarters. We get up and go to work together and for the most part eat lunch together. Then i go to trail along after my boss and keep her focused while Cheo does whatever task i set him to.

And you know i make him do the things i don't want to.

But its okay, we pay him pretty well to do it. Haha.

Stuff

I have a acquired a new fixture for my home and office in the form of a scruffy dude named Jose. Picked him up at the airport i did and took him home. Jose is putting on a brave face when asked about the cold weather and claims its just fine, no big deal.

But the boy sleeps fully dressed in long johns with 2 fleece blankets and 2 jersey sheets. Hahaha.

Oy

It took me nearly 2 weeks to get my sleeping schedule back under control since coming home. Now i'm trying to clean up this room and make some space for Cheo and his things. I got the boyo a job for the summer with me at Harvard so he can make a bit of money and we can move into a halfway decent apartment together. Have paid off my trip to NZ completely and now its time to plan and save for next year's outing! Where to go where to go....


Its cold here today. I want to go back! Come on summer, hurry up...

Auckland Zoo

I took more photos of the signs than of the animals.


Kookaburra!


Tuatara! Native endangered NZ lizard/dinosaur/beastie




There were hundreds of chickens roaming loose in the parking lot and on the grounds surrounding the zoo. This flock decided it wanted to follow me around. Freaked me out a bit.

I didn't like his attitude.

Palm Beach/Enclosure Bay

We decided to find a geocache located in a rocky portion of Palm Beach. What we thought to be Palm Beach. Once we got a bit closer to the rocks...naked people started appearing. Yeah we stumbled into Enclosure Bay, the nude beach.
