Happy Fathers Day!

In Australia today was fathers day. Their mothers and fathers days are in their spring too. :P

Slept in, watched some more podcasts on politics, had brunch, went on the balcony a little bit with some people, and went to Hillsong, and now I'm watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

This weekend I heard some people I know are going to Brisbane. Ashley (aussie guy that taught me some guitar), Brianna (bethel girl), Doug (another aussie), and I don't know about others. I asked if I could go along and see the coast. We'll see! Either this next weekend or the weekend after, I should be going to the Blue Mountains, also! Exciting times coming up.

I want to get 2 t-shirts from a website since I have $3 credit and they have a sale ($12 apiece) now, but I can't use a credit card from a country (USA) that is not the country I ship to (Australia). I hope I can borrow someone's card before the sale is up.

Hillsong was so American tonight! They did the satellite connection between the two campusses (much like I'm used to back home) and we went to the Hills one but not the one in the City. I hope to see that one before I leave here though. The Hills is the original Hillsong and bigger, but father from where I live. They had Christian Hosoi at the City campus, an American ex-pro-skateboarder that was famous with Tony Hawk. He invented the move "Christ Air" and I'm pretty sure I remember it from the video games. Crazy. He gave his testimony and how he became a Christian. At the Hills campus there was an American also, named Preston, but I don't know if he was famous or not. He was funny for sure! Also, before it started, they had Guitar Hero 2 projected on the big screen! They had a "champion" from before face off against a challenger. The first challenger lost but the 2nd challenger became the new champion and got to wear a wig of dreadlocks. Both times they played Sweet Child 'O Mine and both times they didn't complete the song (time constraints, I bet). It was awesome and it really made me miss home so bad! More than ever!

September 9th is exciting too! It's my good friend Becky's birthday back home. It's a girl from Bethel that is here named Jenny's birthday too! And it is the day Apple should do the iPod thing. Can't wait. Jenny wants to go out to eat for her birthday so I might go if it's not too expensive.

Tomorrow after class I *hope* to go to Burwood and mail an absentee ballot form. I might go to UTS's library.

On the way home from Hillsong we stopped at Maccas. I got a $2 cheeseburger again :( and a soft serve cone. Their cones are weird. Ours are yellowish...that's are...orange. But they taste the same.

Pronunciation! They say the letter 'h' as 'haytch' and 'z' as 'zed.' They say herbs with an 'h.' It's not ketchup, it's tomato sauce. Those stringed Christmas lights are called "fairy lights."

Well, I think I'm off to bed now! Cheers!
