Three-ish months left

Well well well, guess who found a job. After working with Kayla for four days, I got a call from the western australian government who brought me in for an interview and offered me a helpdesk position which I gladly accepted. Hopefully i can save enough in the 8-10 weeks of the contract to further our journey eastwards. I don't think it'll be a problem, the only thing that sucks is how long I have to wait to get paid (Feb. 12) .

We are also moving into a new place as of Feb. 1, with the biologist/doctor we are currently living in the 5bedroom house with. That date can't come soon enough, for a couple or reasons - one being the lack of air conditioning in the house. The other being the fact that some guy moved in who was a complete flake, i believe he has schizophrenia which is possibly drug-induced. We kicked him out last night - don't worry.

Other than that, just been beaching it on the weekend .. went to a dream theater show ($130) which sadly was cut short due to some kind of electrical failure or blown power. So I didn't get to hear their last half hour which is usually the past part. Will upload pics and video later, tough to find the time when I don't have the internet at home.

tracklist :

Dream Theater - January 26th (Australia Day) - Burswood Theater - Perth, WA

In the Presence of Enemies
Octavarium
Endless Sacrifice
Dark Eternal
Stream of Consciousness
Forsaken
I Walk Beside You
Take the Time
Strange Deja Vu
Fatal tragedy (power blows)

My laptop HD is dying, so sometimes updates are far between. It might completely die and I won't be able to replace it before i get paid.

Have fun on your trip mom and dad.

John
