More Various Stuff

Well, one weekend, a few months ago or something, I went to stay with Mark and Nicki, who live a few doors down from James and Stacey and babies. Though at this point, Mark and Nicki had very little furniture, so I actually slept at James and Stacey's. But spent most of the time with Mark and Nicki. Mark being James' brother and another one of my cousins. I hope everyone is more or less clear on who everyone is, I know there's a lot of them to keep up with.

Anyway, on the Saturday, we picked up some Fish and Chips and had a picnic by the beach. A famous beach, or one my mom likes a lot. Mother's Beach or something like that. Here are a few pictures.

Very pretty. Then on Sunday, we went to have lunch at the Royal Hotel. I couldn't get anymore of it in the picture because if I'd stepped back any further I would have fallen off a cliff. But it was very pretty, so here it is:

We did other things that weekend, including going out to dinner and seeing Chuck and Larry, and visiting Mark's grandmother, and watching Nicki's brother play footy, and going to a pub, and then to a nightclub, which I didn't really enjoy all too much. The latter, I mean. But the rest was awesome fun, I just have no photos.

Another time, the Friday before the Grand Final, I went to see the AFL parade. The AFL being the Australian Football League, being the most popular sport in Victoria. It's different both from soccer and American football, and is around here known mainly as footy. The Grand Final is the championship game and the Friday before they have a massive parade downtown. Here are a bunch of people at the parade who should probably be at work.

I also captured some videos of the parade, mainly to get the team songs, because they were fun! I know videos never seem to work when I embed them, but I think these videos will work. I've figured out that the reason videos weren't working before was because I had set them to private. That would explain why I could see them but no one else could. Very smart of me. Anyway, I've gone back and fixed the old videos I posted. For your viewing convenience, they are located in entries: here, here, and here. Enjoy.

The Lord Mayor of Melbourne. I like the way he claps.

Finally, another time, a few weeks ago, over spring break, I went to see Phantom of the Opera with Emily at the Princess Theatre. As I was a loser, I totally forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures actually from the day. But I went back later to take pictures. In 20 years, I probably won't remember they were taken a week later, so we can pretend.

The end! For now.
