a night of firsts

the work xmas party was an interesting one. 1100 staff members crammed into coogee bay palace...stinking hot day, stinking hot venue.. but interesting sights to be seen. stayed until 10.30 and then got over the corp xmas hell. went to meet a mate and went with a group of people ot the rocky horror picture show at the movies... first time i have ever done that... was a lot of fun, even if the "actors" doing the live performance didnt really seem to know the lines all that well, but they knew the audience participation bit.

god i cant beleiev they actually got us all up the front of the cinema to dance along to the "time warp" my god.. once you get over the embarassment and the sudden flashbacks to all those weddings and birthday parties when you were 18, it was quite hysterical. of course Brian and i got picked to be the extra props for when brad and janet are turned into statues.. we had to stand at the front of the cinema in the statue poses while the real ..erm, 'actors" got into their cabaret costumes. (luckily i got to play brad)

ended up getting home at about 3.30 after a quick drink after the movie.. only to discover.. 2 possums clinging to the telegraph pole at head height, outside my house.. wow.. theres a sight you dont see every day. took a pic with my phone whihc i will try to get on here.. kinda freaky.

marius arrives tonight.. looking forward to having him in sydney and showing him australia... shame today is a thunderstorm in sydney.. how typical. but at least i get to spend the next 3 weeks talking german at home, which will be nice
