I'll edit my comment: I like being within 4 hours of 4 metropolises.

Sydney: 3 hours 30 minutes
Brisbane: 3 hours, 30 minutes
Melbourne: 3 hours, 50 minutes
Auckland: 20 minutes depending on traffic

I kinda damaged the case prying it open so I better hope it doesn't rain, but I just bought myself a few more weeks with it I think

dude my ipod screen was completely frozen and nothing worked...so i took it apart, pulled the hard drive out, put it back, and now it works!



now I can go to the gym

That's insane! I've had iPod troubles before and have had to go to apple.com to figure it out. Sadly, I think my iPod is near death.

But I don't have to cross a sea.

 

[coolian2]

Don't you have winter in the southern hemisphere?

Yeah. In Auckland, at least the average temperature is only 10 degrees celsius between February and July. 23 degrees in summer and 14 in winter.

It's great.

As a side note, the package I thought would be arriving today didn't. But when I was walking to my mailbox, I looked in the front window of my neighbor's house from the sidewalk and noticed they still have their Christmas tree up!

 

[coolian2]

I'm really thankful my iPod seems to be getting better with age

Mine was stolen from me. Then somehow, amazingly, I got it back. But it's never been the same. It was fully infested with viruses and porn when I got it back. And the casing was fucked up.

Holy shit!

A year or two ago one of my friends had her Christmas tree up until at least early February.

Mine doesn't leave my pocket except to start or stop using it on the bus or to change albums, also on the bus.

Sometimes here it gets down to 20 F (what's that, like -3 or -4 C?). In the summer it's gotten up to 105 before.

True story: One night back in October days..we did this show in Brantford...well after there was this cool couple that wanted us to come back to their house for drinks..I ended up being the only one to go. They had a python about that size in their tiny 1 bedroom apartment. It couldn't stretch out completely in the living room, to give you an idea. They fed it a live rat while I was there. Then it came over and sniffed me like a dog, they said that was how it 'felt me out' to see if I was a threat.

I took my leave shortly thereafter.

As in, as immediately as politely possible.

It's just so tacky to do. Mine's up til January 1st (or the weekend which follows).

 

[coolian2]

-6 C.

I could handle that. I could handle 105 too (40C), i've lived in Australia.

I left it sitting out, stupidly, at a party. Because it was one of the music sources.

Usually ours is down not long after that as well. It just looks bad.

Ah yes, i could understand that.

I'd only do that at a small gathering with my best friends. And that's because they all have iPods too

Sounds like Washington's the place for you, then. In my atmospheric science class last year, my teacher taught that there are only 4 places in the world with similar climate to the Seattle area: Seattle, New Zealand, Norway or Finland (can't remember which) and the southern portions of western South America.

Yeah, well I discovered who it was. I should've just made him buy me a new one and let him keep that one. Oh well. I'll probably have to get a new one in the summer.

 

[coolian2]

We probably don't get as much rain, but fuck it. I love the rain.

Now i just need money, and perhaps be allowed to get a job there.

 

[the tourist]

Having a Christmas tree up still in late February is kind of like a scar across the face.

We actually don't get that much rain, if you're talking volume. New York gets just as much as us. I'm pretty sure England gets more. We just have more clouds than anyone else in the world.

Also, what kind of person puts porn on an iPod?

Good god.

I want daily updates until it comes down.

Yeah. I was unfortunate enough to witness like 15 seconds of it. It was like serious hardcore bondage anal sex. *shudders*

I'm hoping it just stays up all year.
