I row on the Swan River (the river in the picture) pretty
much every second morning when I'm at school. The water's
like glass. Smooth and cool.

Island - yeah I've been to Rottnest.

It's brilliant, also. Beautiful clear blue beaches.

yeah...rottnest...that was the name...I also heard the story
about why it's called rottnest...because of the big rodents
that look like rats, right?

We have about 6 decent record stores, all having an
electronica section. All IDM releases are pretty much to be
found.

Junktion: They're called Quokkas. Yeah that story's true.
Dutch explorers thought they were giant rats - Rat's Nest -
Rottnest in Dutch.

I saw Hawtin live. Got bored and went to the breaks room. It
was kind of minimal 4/4 stuff that I'm not into really.

As for IT, uhh I work in It and had a real hard time finding
work, I think if you nkow your shit and have experience and
stuff you will be able to find something though.
But it's kinda dry here atm I think.

Toejam - Western Power on Wellington street, dude :)
