Sydney travels
Jan. 3rd, 2009 11:14 pmMy friends B and C were unexpectedly over from NZ, and contacted me yesterday to see if I could visit them while they were in Sydney. This was most excellent timing. It was nice spending an afternoon hanging out and getting nurturing vibes, and we took the sproglet for a walk up King St to corrupt the child get some ice-cream for her and nice Campos coffees for the adults.
After that, I got along to Polymorph, and had my irritating tragus piercing swapped for a nice small internally-threaded 14ga circular barbell (no problems with stretching it slightly, despite what the other guy said - it's still soft from being such a recent piercing, and I didn't feel a thing), thank god, and I also got the rings in a more personal area upsized to 10ga. I've had Robert do stuff for me there in the past, but today I had Ben, and he was also fab.
Then some nice sushi and the trip back home, which was unusually good. My car is a little bit sick due to air leaking in somewhere along the intake to the carburettor (I can hear the whistling, but I can't find where it's coming from, for the life of me), which means it idles extremely fast when stationary, but on the plus side, it acts like a budget turbocharger when zooming up hills at speed. For once, the weather wasn't hosing down and/or blowing a gale, so it was a nice steady 75mph/120kph the entire way home.
