Back in NZ

Well we are back in NZ after 23 hours of airports and airplanes. Luckily
only 3 hours and 10 mins were spent sitting next to the spawn of satan, and
his ineffectual father.
You know Air New Zealand is getting crappy when United Airlines is more
pleasant to fly. I don’t know what their strategy is, offer the crappest
service at about the same price as everyone else, is what it seems like. And
you can call it a Frittata as much as you like, its still just a shitty
small omelette.

But apart from the unpleasantness that is modern air travel, (dont even get
me started on NZ immigration) it was a pretty good trip.

TelstraClear Suck

You all know this, but I was just reminded of it. While waiting for Laurel
to have a shower I was browsing round on trademe.co.nz and I get far better
performance from the DSL connection here in Fullerton CA, than I do from my
now depeered broken internet Telstra connection at home in NZ. So Im
physically about 6000 miles further away, but with a much nicer connection.
There is nothing to say except that sucks.

Going to the Outlets

Well we are off to Ontario California today, to go to the Ontario Mills
Outlet Mall. 200 plus stores of low priced pretty much anything you could
want to buy. Luckily there is a 30 theatre cinema complex there as well, so
when I get bored of shopping I can leave Laurel to it and go watch a movie.
Theres an Auntie Annies soft pretzel stand there as well, so Im set.

Beer, pizza and Halo 2

Well its close to 5am, Ive been drinking a few beers, eating some pizza and
playing a lot of halo 2 (Cat: I need a weapon). Im horribly bad at halo,
laurels brothers keep wasting me, even though they are trying to be nice and
let me win. But its a lot of fun.
My bodyclock is fully messed up, im waking up at about 11am, going to be
round 3 or 4am .. ill have to try sleeping round 10pm tomorrow, see if that
can get it back in sync.
St Patricks day here tomorrow, so that will be interesting, I’ll do an
update afterwards

In LA

Well we made it to LA .. yesterday actually, but I was too busy eating
mexican food and sleeping to write anything. We are here for Laurels
Grandma’s memorial service, plus a little bit of a break.
The flight was ok, but if I see Bridget Jones : The edge of reason, one more
time I think I will go insane.
Not sure what the plan is today, but you can be fairly sure if im involved
there will be donuts at some point. Speaking of which it must be time for
breakfast.
