In which I am TERRIBLE at blogging often enough for people to care.

Hi hi hi, friendly friends!

I'm so desperate to avoid working at all costs that I am actually resorting to blog updating!

So, Tom and I went to Wellington a few weeks ago, I kept saying I would write a post about it but I never did. I sort of am now? Anyway, Wgtn was lovely and thoroughly enjoyable. The best part was meeting all of Tom's old friends, all gorgeous people. We ate and drank and generally lived Epicureanly (it's a word, look it up). We also stayed with the other half of Tom's awesome family- John, Anna and Callan in their bougie (seriously!) little modern-barn-looking house for the week. Had a great time. I saw all the sights and met all the people and great fun was had by all.

In other news, my homesickness has again reached epic proportions. It's just starting to transition into autumn back home, my favorite time of year. Leaves changing, weather coldening, Halloween and the like. Sigh. Tom tells me people don't really make much of a deal of Halloween in these parts, which is quite saddening. Hopefully we will find a way to remedy that in some way.

Something funny about New Zealand- they LOVE airing the most random American television shows, often during primetime. So, if I ever want to watch Veronica's Closet at 8:30 pm I can just turn to Channel 2.

Honestly, HONESTLY, I plan on updating this thing at least once a week from now on. Additionally, my blogs shall transition from documenting the slightly droll (strong word, perhaps) minutiae of my days to themed posts about things I am learning about New Zealand, ways in which my life is being impacted by my move and overall differences between the New World (NZ) and the Old World (USA). I'm sure you're giddy with delight and anticipation.




Adios, mateys.
