01. I went to see The National at the The Corner Hotel (a Melbourne institution people!) tonight and they were totally freaking sweet, they had a violinist/fiddler who was just amazing to watch, I loved every second of it and Janurary will continue to be a good month for muic as I am seeing The Arcade Fire (!!! I've been waiting four years for them to tour Australia) on the 30th and Spoon on the 31st (which also happens to be my sister's birthday, she and my parents are coming with me.)

02. This week is going to be so freaking exhausting, I'm working from 8:30am (or as soon as I can get to uni, the uni admin staff are very sympathetic to the fact that trying to get from the eastern/southeastern suburbs to the northeastern suburbs before 10am somewhere between nightmarish and downright impossible depending on the day of the week, if only they could explain that to the lecturers) to 5:00pm Mon-Thurs, my dad and my sister are flying down from Sydney on Wednesday morning and mum will arrive Wednesday night (she is driving.) I have pack as much as I can tomorrow because I'm going to be too busy the rest of the week and it just seems like a ridiculously huge job, especially to do single handedly.

Well just thinking about it is exhausting me, well that and the fact that it is 4:50am and I have my alarm set for 9:30am so I'm off to bed.
