Well I woke up today refreshed. I slept at home last night after a few drinks at a friends place. I was shown a cartoon on youtube called "The Sad Teddy". I think the youtube channel is called AustralieRepublique. It was so funny. I dreamed the world changed because of that poor sad teddy. I'm having some drinks again later. At present on another computer I am downloading 22 Astrophysics lectures from Yale university using itunes u. They are free! But it takes a while to download them all at 0.4 MB per sec. Oh well, I better log off, my friend and I are angling toward having a child together. I better sms back...

What a great day I've had.  I woke up at Hermanna's and she left for lunch at Perth's only casino. I came home to Ngulla Mia and had lunch then I went to visit my friend Tamika in hospital. Now I am at Ngulla Mia waiting for dinner. Later I will have a glass of beer at Hermanna's and then a good long sleep. Have a great day everyone!

I checked an Old Norse dictionary. The word I wanted was not there. I'll try a Scottish dictionary. Hermanna has woken and made me a coffee. Not much else has happened here. The Space Shuttle Endeavour has made some low flights over Californian landmarks in front of spectators on her way to her resting place in a museum. I'd love to go flying in that machine.

Good morning! It's quiet here at Hermanna's, she is asleep and there is no traffic outside. The only sounds are the wind in the trees and newsradio's Saturday morning programming. I like newsradio it's not as dumb as some other radio stations. The steamboat Castella based in Hobart turns 100 today and is Australia's oldest licensed ferry. A barrel of oil costs $117 US.  A few nights ago I was awake late and tried getting a beer in Northbridge but everywhere was closed. Last night I soothed the hurt that caused me by buying a bottle of beer from the local shop here. I really enjoyed having a glass of beer and a few pipes of cannabis while my best mate Kate set up an Internet dating website profile for me. I like adult humans of the opposite gender to me and I never get a fuck so Kate who is so dear to me is trying to help. Hi Kate! I know you're reading this! I live in Perth which is named after a town in Scotland. In 1266 the Treaty of Perth was signed and the Norse agreed to leave most of Scotland in return for money. (A random fact for you.) Perth is a word that comes from the Old Norse language that the Vikings spoke. The University of Western Australia does not have a English/Old Norse Dictionary but does have an English/Old Icelandic dictionary which should allow me to conclude my research into the meaning of the word Perth. Iceland was settled by Vikings so Old Icelandic is really Old Norse. Now I'm curious about the period in Iceland between Viking expansion and Columbus's expedition west to the America's. Were they cut off from Europe? I'll try and find out. Ok, signing off, research to do.

I woke up this morning at my friend's place. I suppose I should introduce her. Her name is Hermanna and she is 56 years old. I guess you could say she is retired since she will probably not work again. She lives in a 2 bedroom flat a ten minute train ride from my current lodgings. When I awoke this morning she was gone already, headed out to get a facial. I guess she worries about wrinkles. I made a coffee and smoked some pot and cigarettes while listening to some music I had stored on my phone. After getting dressed I went to the train station and the train soon took me home. I had trouble walking as my new shoes seem to hurt my feet a little. About my home. I am staying at a mental health recovery centre that runs a 12 month program intended to promote recovery from schizophrenia or depression or whatever other emotional disorder one might have. I have been here 8 months. I had no idea what recovering would be like but as it has slowly begun to happen for me I must admit it is quite pleasant. So since I got home this morning I have had lunch and of course started this blog. My wonderful friend Kate was a big part of me deciding to create this blog. She suggested that I write a journal and I kept that up for the last couple of weeks but hey its 2012 and a blog is cooler than a journal. I can be really honest in what I write in this blog and remain anonymous so you can know all my secrets but you won't know who I am.
