Ten*6

 I haven't been on here as regularly as I have been previously, which is a shocker considering I am doing sooo much less (to the point of nothing) than I was before. My introduction to living in the land of Sydney has been a rocky start - applying for jobs left and right; hearing very little back - and sadly the one that I did hear back from was not the opportunity it had sounded like and therefore was a missed 'opportunity'. That's my 'professional' life as it stands - unemployed, little opportunities arising at the current date with hopefully more to begin arising as the year kicks into full swing.

Apart from this the year of 2010 ("Twenty-ten" future haters out there) has been pretty good. Whilst technically I am currently a resident of the lower Blue Mountains, I don't classify myself as such. Mind you I class myself as a guest in this house opposed to a resident, despite what my residential address may read. Staying with Liz's parent's is an interesting and often frustrating exercise that will only be overcome once a job is found *hopefully* by graduation. Graduation is something on my mind because in the immediate future it is one thing I have to look forward to - it's on my birthday, so I cannot help but think about how bigger day/night that will be.


Other things. Made a trip to The Entrance for a few days, a small getaway at the middle of January - it was quite lovely, had never been there before so that was nice. BDO 2010 (Sydney - 2nd Day) was a very good 1st BDO for myself (& Liz). Highlights were Eskimo Joe, Bluejuice, Muse and the Silent Disco. Would definately hit up another BDO, dependant upon the lineup of course.

Lastly, I hung out a good month after the release of James Cameron's Avatar just so I could see it in 3D at IMAX. I tell you what, it was well worth the wait. Spectacular graphics and immaculate incorporation of the stereoscopic feature the film blew me away. Mind you, not to the extent of some people, but I most definately was awestruck by the world of Pandora - and was pleasantly suprised to see that the story held up nicely as well.
