I took this photo today as I met the band Snow Patrol. This Scottish / Northern Irish band may have remained in obscurity but for one break through song known all around the world, especially to Grey's Anatomy watchers. (which is not me!).
I hung out with them for a bit while they sang an acoustic version of the song. Not really my cup of tea, but it was awesome hanging out with them all the same.
The second thing that happened was three earthquakes struck Auckland, where I live. I felt my couch shake and thought that perhaps we were being hit by friendly fire from Iraq. Nope, earthquakes. Whatever next? Mrs SN was quite prepared to pack our stuff and move back to Korea quick haste. I think I have talked her out of it. They were small quakes!
I went to see New Zealand do battle with Australia in the cricket yesterday. For the record New Zealand won. Yay. However as far as you are concerned, be more worried about the awful Australian uniform (hereby known as dirty orange) and what the heck this player is up to!
So it's been a while since I was tagged. My good friend from France, Cergie. If you haven't checked out her blog, I really recommend it. She shows us another side of France.
Anyway her tag is called... *drum roll* (pause while San Nakji quickly checks Cergie's blog quickly for the title)... Doesn't seem to have one so I shall call it Get Zapped.
In Get Zapped I have to tell you 6 weird or interesting things about me. I may even tell the truth... Maybe. So here goes,
1) I was deported by the Czechoslovakian government.
2) I own a piece of the Berlin Wall.
3) My first overseas trip was when I was 6 weeks old. My destination? Pago Pago.
4) I was once a Buddhist.
5) I can name all the monarchs of England from 1066 to the present.
6) I want to marry Oprah
Well, that's it. I would like to tag the following people,
KS, Minty, Deepa, GH, Friar, Cool Buddha, Ashley, RSL and David. Go to it kids!
I don't know what this bird is It doesn't know me, so we are even I am sad about Anna Nicole The Daily Show made jokes about her I laughed I felt guilty I like birds
I now write in free poetic style Got a problem with it? Want to step outside? I don't Cygnets are cute I love their fluffy bodies Then they grow into pure pecking evil What an enigma
Lateness to bed and earliness to rise meant that I didn't work on any photos last night. This means that I have no photos to post. However, one thing I have learned about blogging is that you have to be regular. The doctor would tell you the same thing. Eat some bran, solves the problem. Think of this post as e-bran. E-bran, the food of champions!
Anyway, as I type I really have no idea what to say. This may surprise you as this post seems so professionally put together, but yes, it is off the cuff so to speak. I find that a lot of people in the blog world have a lot to say. Many are braver than me in talking about their personal lives. This is not for me. What goes on with my family is between me and them. I am pretty sure also that most people wouldn't care.
There is a show in Melbourne on the 28th of February. The show is Little Britain Live, I am a big fan of the TV show it is based on. On a spur of the moment thing I bought tickets to Australia and bought the best ticket to the show I could. I found the cheapest flights to Melbourne mean that I will stay in Australia for a grand total of 26 hours. Mrs SN couldn't come, so to make things worse it is just me... The more I think about it, the more I think I am crazy. But I am also excited that I will get to see such a brilliant show! It is one of the biggest spur of the moment things I have ever done... What about you guys? Done anything crazy like this? Maybe this isn't crazy?
This was posted in my park a few weeks ago. First of all, how do you lose a turtle? If you lose it, how are you going to find it again? Is it going to come when it's called? Hmmmm...
Still, if you see Mimi please call the number provided ok?
