  1. I also got my hair cut. In case you are concerned by my scowl, I was trying to express my ambivalence about the cut. Now that I’m used to it, I am quite pleased.

  3. You can stop worrying now, Dad.

    I’m still alive, I promise! I have just been busy. I am satisfied with my job at the City Council, they’re keeping me occupied with assorted map-y duties. It’s part time, so I’m looking for another part time GIS job to fill the gaps.

    Last weekend a coworker took me skiing with some friends. We went to Mt Ruapehu, and I was able to ski just fine after a few short runs runs down the bunny hill. Not bad, considering I hadn’t been on skis in two years. The four of us camped in a tent (in winter, not the greatest of ideas) and we all made it out alive enough to go to some hot pools. Geothermal power for the win!

    I have an interview next week sometime for a position with NZ Post that I know nothing about other than that it’s GIS-related.

    The weather here has been gorgeous. It’s springtime!

    Everyone here is pro-Obama. I haven’t encountered any anti-American sentiment.

  5. small notes

    Raisin Bran is called Sultana Bran.

    Regarding cars driving on the left, I’ve gotten used to it….except for when someone has a dog in the passenger seat.

    Yesterday I had a slice of pizza that was topped with pickle slices.

  8. Delicious ice cream treat. The outside is a wafery crust and it’s filled with vanilla ice cream and red bean paste. Also it’s shaped like a fish.
