First Week in New House..Sick as a Junkie

It been a week since Ive moved to my new place in Fitzroy ,Melbourne.
So far Ive been Sick for all of it...lucky me. But good news is I have a light filled room and thats definitely needed in melbourne. Ive set it up nicely and will show pictures soon.

Fitzroy is cool and definitely the place to be if you like to be in the middle of everything. Ive only been out and about a few times but so far Ive had $6 home made hamburgers with the lot and Big fat $2 sushi rolls.

I also found the biggest professional art store ever at the end of my street.

Still Im sick and cant be botherd drawing with my snot.

Peace out.

Moving on up!

Hello again,

Heres a great photo of Melbourne on a beautiful spring/summers day, I can tell as theres leaves on the trees... no leaves to see at the moment.
But the main reason for the photo, look where Im moving to, right near Carlton Gardens, 10 seconds tram to work, no more rat race driving for me!
Now I can soak up the culture of the real Melbourne. Ahhh...finaly.

The place is great too and its a 4 bedroom terrace. With friendly active people.

I dont move in till sunday though....I cant wait :D

Walk on the wild side

Walking to work along the South side of the Melbourne river yesterday, the sun was up, hot air balloons were in the sky, the air was crisp and i wanted to skip work and soak up the sun...to bad :)

Good news though, I got a room in an amazing share house in Carlton, move out Sunday, so all new area to explore, I'll be able to walk to work, lots more different things to see, cant wait :)

Sunday morning Melbourne Zoo Visit

My first real weekend since work.
So i got up early and went to the Zoo again.
I got there before the parents and there 10 uncontrollable kids come along.

I was just in time to see the keeper feed the Big Cats - Snow Leopards, Pumas, Cougars, Tigers and one of my favorites the red wolves...

Beautiful morning in Melbourne too.

Once it hit 10.30 the young families started coming in, prams, kids and nappy's at hand.
Time to get out of here.

Till next time...peace out.

Full time work...my brain!

You may have thought I disappeared but no...
I got a full time job at an Advertising firm right in the city.
Im now working 9-5 as a Jn graphic designer. Its been a huge week as you can imagine. Go-go-go! But I like it allot, I even got my first Advert printed in fridays paper. I have a great studio crew and a imac to work on. Just got to get up in the mornings.

So Frenchy So Chic Melbourne Concert

Last night I went to the concert featuring Nouvelle Vague and Emilie Simon.
Two of France’s most successful artists, as featured on the top selling unofficial soundtrack to the French Film Festival So Frenchy So Chic.
The french acts played to a packed audience at Hamer Hall.
Ive never been there and it was overwhelming big, picture Opera Theatre of the future.
Awesome night.

Anime Central

Melbourne has many Anime & Comic stores, there is a thriving Anime scene here.
The 2007 Anime Ball is coming up...who shall I dress as...Doremon?

There is a great Hobby Japan store in China City, lots of Gundam Models, of course there are lots of Bikini wearing (or less) anime statutes but the best is the assortment of new Transformers, cute figurines and Vinyl Robots.

Also there is some of the best Arcade game centers scattered though out Melbourne. I was drawn into the DBZ console...once a fan...always a fan.
