Memoirs of a Kept Man – 16/2/09

The first day where I wave goodbye to Emily as she buses off to earn a crust at Tawa College. Food shop, cleaning and furniture hunting for me.

Good sunny days at the moment. Following the purchase of a desk at the Salvation Army, several hours are spent kicking up a dust whilst sanding the desk (originally white, blue and covered in stickers).

Go to Mighty Mighty to see the Trons – a robotic band, average tunes, but engineers would love it, and they are fairly entertaining (whilst lacking charisma).
Next day, tag along with Turtle and friends to the Hurricanes V Highlanders Super 14 game. Refereeing is pretty shabby (even with my knowledge of rules and cheating in rucks), and the game not the best, but the Hurricanes pull a late win out of the bag, and I get quite vocal about supporting my new town.
On the way back home with Turtle, we run into Em on the bus, who has been out for drinks and Japanese food with a teacher friend (she said she’d go home!). She is slightly tipsy (and sheepish!), so quite funny. This really is a small town.
