TGIF--melbourne to Los Angeles

well, well...time passes, skies fly, lorakeets galore...and still i am in melbourne. but not for long.
a return trip back to CALIFORNIA on june 17th is in store.

helped my friend tawnya crew her first student film last weekend. some of it in my new house (hadn't moved in). was fun. lots of work. film-shooting is no joke. no sleep. no time to relax. go go go!! but definitely a good experience!!

just moved to a new house with 5star. new address is in north melbourne (273A flemington rd, north melbourne VIC 3051). moved in this past week...and what a change of pace it is!!

work's been crazy busy. we are down to 2 people in the restaurant due to management and staff issues. it's the same wherever you go, isn't??? mis-management and all kinds of bullshit that comes with dealing with human beings and egos.

reading "power vs. force" at the moment. trying to find "my zen"...

just bought tix to go see DJ shadow. missed out on the first show...due to work obligations. but i will go on the 25th of july. psyched about that.

but yeah...will be leaving melbourne for three weeks. very excited about the whole prospect of visiting my father and getting in some summer weather.
though melbourne is rapidly approaching its winter season, i can't say the cold is that striking! i had a laugh when my boss (grant--actually his real name is Paul, but i call him grant cuz then he has no idea who i'm talking about!!) came in shivering today at 11am. i stepped out and it was nothing cold to "freezing" as he said, and he's a pommie. well, a pommie's whose been in australia for far too long!!

in any case, i am doing well. a bit under-exercised and a bit un-settled due to my life being back in bags at the moment. but nothing to worry about. it will all come back together in some way, shape or form.

can't wait to see my dad, brian carlson+jenn+triplets, buddha, arturo, ryan and O-dawg!!!

CALIFoRNIA!!!!

love, fuj
