Its my dads 59th birthday today.
And i forgot!
but no need to worry, i just rang my dad to say hi to my parents and my dad answered the phone. I told him that there is a package in the mail for him from the USA. (because i went internet shopping on the weekend and i knew his birthday was coming up). Anyway he said thanks for the birthday gift, and i got all puzzled and just figured his birthday was sometime in the next few days. My mum got on the phone and said it was nice that i called to wish my dad a happy birthday (it was at this moment i realised it was today). I replied “yes it is nice of me”.
So there you have it, i wished my dad a happy birthday on his birthday without knowing it.

Well here we are!
Down town Coolangatta. Thats right tom and i are sitting in an internet cafe in coolangatta on the lovely Gold Coast of Australia.
What a way to spend a day off. We flew up here this morning, just saw Hitch Hickers guide to the Galaxay.
Which was a good entertaining film, I dont know how it compares to the book because i dont really read books. But it was fun. Marvin the depressed robot was my favourite. It wanst an amazing film but worth a watch i give it. 5/7
anyway we have to leave soon and head back to the gold coast Airport for our flight home.
I reccomend a quick trip interstate for a few hours, especially queensland becasue the coke is cheap the films are cheap and thats all you need really.
how did all this frivolity come about?
Well tom and i both had days off so last night we brainstormed what we could do together today and an interstate flight came up. So on the net we went finding cheap fares.
So cheap the train fare to the airport was more expensive thatn the flight to the Gold coast.
anyway so much fun and frivolity.
this is me on the train at 5 something this morning

tom on the train
and this is me at Coolengatta Airport at 8:45 this morning

me blogging right now

well the train journey this morning was good. Most people on the train where asleep. Tom wasnt asleep but we didnt talk much.
I guess its just too early in the morning to have a conversation.
Must be off, the journey continues……………….

Well this morning the film was shot.
I arrived around 7:45am and then at around 8:15 i proceded into a romm where a lady gave me a gown and said stip down and put this on. (she left the room while i stripped). Then a man in a white coat came in. He was the anethatist. He took me into another room and said lay down on your side. So i did. I think my bum was hanging out of the gown.
He put a needle into my hand, and then a mask thing on my mouth and thats about all i remember of that.
Next thing you know i’m half nude (due to the gown being a bit out of place) and there is a woman shaking my shoulder saying “would you like a sandwich?”. I slowly rolled over and sat up, i felt really woozy it was fun, hard to wlak and stuff. Then i had a sandwich and some juice and changed back into my clothes behind a curtain and that was that.
THe doctor came and saw me and told me some findings and stuff, gave me tablests and perscribed more and said call back in 2 weeks for the results of the byopsy.
He said something or other was a big swollen and that i had too much reflux and something else anyway could be Irritable bowl sydrome but not certain yet.
then the lovely jenny came and picked me up.

this is a photo of REC. The concert in Nowra run by James.
Tom and i both went down. I was on Camera 1, moving around on the stage and Tom was mixing.
It was a lot of fun, the silhouette on the right hand side of the stage is me doing my thing on the camera.
I love stages and lights and cameras and screens.
