I tried, but I couldn't.

today, i learnt that toast is slippery. see, i had managed for the first time in two weeks to wake up in time to cook a decent breakfast. so, it was with great intrepidation that i decided to cook some scrambled eggs. i managed to cook the damn thing to the right consistency and with a flourish, swept the mixture onto my toast. my memory goes a little fuzzy here because i can't actually remember why i decided to hold my plate at an angle. but i just did. and my beautiful egg fell into the sink. being a thrifty Asian, i decided that sink egg is better than no egg. and picked it out of the sink (which had dirty dishes) and ate it as if nothing had happened.
so. toast is slippery. don't forget that.

i have come to the conclusion that i have no structure to these blogs. and unlike the organised bloggers around me, i don't actually have a plan about what i write.

ooh. i should also mention now that i find it awesomely queer how all the motels along George St always, always display "No vacancy". i mean, it's Dunedin. who the hell finds Dunedin worth their time. sorry, let me re-phrase that. i had no idea that a significant amount of people found Dunedin that fascinating. i'm not bashing Dunedin. it's just that it's kind of a hole. compared to let's say, Christchurch or Wellington. the tourist attractions available:
- Larnach Castle (which is sad once you realise that you can't take photos inside the building)
- the peninsula (albatrosses are just so interesting as is getting sea sick as most land terrestrials are apt to doing)
- the Octagon. which actually doesn't have eight sides. that's such an anticlimax
- the university clocktower, which i do admit, is rather pretty looking. but so are the dozen of clocktowers around the country. i mean, even Milton has a clock (which also tells the temperature. whoa)
- the penguin colony. enough said.
- Otago Museum (there are a gazillion museums around the country better. Auckland, Te Papa...)
i think the fact that the All Blacks visited the Wall Street mall as part of their leisurely excursion while in Dunedin explains the lack of tourist attractions available. this is Wall Street. the mall which has zero stores (near zero) and a "fucking massive pharmacy" (see the Capping Show skit for further reference).

what else is there? i could digress, but i've realised the ability to digress comes from having to do something else, but knowing that by digressing, you can delay doing it. digressing and procrastination are not synonymous. rather, they're proportional. the more procrastination you uh, have to do, the more able you are to digress. and right now, i don't want to procrastinate. therefore, i cannot digress.

the end.
