Biting The Bullet

Well, here's another thing to open up about to the anonymous billions LOL - I am seriously in debt. It happens when you are credit card living, decide to move to another country, can't get a job there, move to a country where you can get a job but it takes six months to do so, and then finally getting your A into G and starting to sort it.



But, sent an email off to a credit counselling company, and gotten that underway - just need exact figures for my debtors ick. Two of them were OK enough, had email addresses on their webpages, but the other one ick - managed to track down a New Zealand fax number but tried it and it didn't work (wouldn't be because it's after business hours surely?) so tracked down a Sydney number for the same company and went through. Will try the Auckland number again in the morning I think.



So yeah, will pay everything off perhaps in three or four years, without the nasties of debt collection to maneouvre around, and will take a hit to my Aussie credit rating - now there's a surprise - but the monkey off my back gah. I sent emails to other companies earlier in the year to try and start the ball rolling, but they didn't reply grrr - and of course, I procrastinated LOL.



Going out for a couple of drinks tomorrow, SW lined it up with at least MC and JC turning up as well - JC's girlfriend, yes you read that right, has them going to a line dancing evening for New Year's with the girlfriend's mother, over from the UK. Well, I guess New Year's happens every year, LOL, how often do you have your in laws over from the other side of the world. But three of us should be a good enough start, now if only we can encourage MG to come out to the same bar hmm...



Walking With Beasts is on the box at the moment, quiet night of TV apart from the final of Amazing Race - think we are a series behind the North American market though - anyways, back to Walking With Beasts - is like Walking With Dinosaurs, but after the meteor hit, the mammals and birds taking over. Now it's wonderful computer graphics and stuff, but why on EARTH make a documentary series about things that no human ever saw? It could be so much Cinderella and fairy stories, lol, but I guess it popularises paleontology...



Oh, that's what I saw of interest earlier today - one of the many blogs glanced over, one piqued my interest - can't remember who it was otherwise I would link it, but he said that he tried not to do entries in his blog about either big stories (he didn't think he would scoop CNN), political stories (didn't want to alienate half the readership) or day in the life entries, where nothing much happened. Hmm, if I went by those rules, there go half my entries LOL - but it isn't so much what you write about, as how you write it, I feel...



Cos face it, blogs can be divided into about five categories LOL. There are only ever five things talked about on the blogosphere - children, movie/music reviews, politics, sex or general rambling. Maybe six if you take into consideration work. The differences between the blogs are who writes well and who writes less well. I write the way I talk (thank goodness I don't have to hear him I know you are thinking) so am scatterbrained in my topics here, but the way I write I feel is consistent. Not sure consistently what, but consistent LOL.



Mmm, Canada moment of the day - Amazing Race, is in Calgary tonight. Well, it's the Tory stronghold, and it has lots of oil, but hey, it's still got the Maple Leaf flying, that's all that's important :) but OMG they are doing subtitles for the locals lol, it's not Quebec for goodness sake :)



Humming Oh Canada in my head now, thinking of the Nation's Capital, O-Town, and all the national monuments and stuff - much more Canadian than I ever will be Australian. Sorry fellow residents on this island continent, but there you go.
