(the room at an angle, and boy does it look kinda messy)

(and finally, last night's concoction that has a strange and uncanny resemblance to puke in a bowl. yum)I would include pictures of the bathroom, but it scares me. Especially at night. The black toilet seat gives me the shivers. So in fact, I've taken to using the downstairs disabled bathroom which has a white toilet seat and is clean. I sense a trend appearing here. I seem to have a special connection with disabled toilets. Actually, when you think about it really closely, A LOT of people have connections with the disabled toilets. (*wink wink* hahaha. I know you got that reference.)
On the topic of toilets and bathrooms, sharing amenities with another person is an awkward business. For example, I have found myself in rather awkward situations where I have wanted to do my "stuff" whilst knowing the interconnecting door is not entirely soundproof. The solution? Loud music. I still don't know whether it works but it gives a heck of a lot of reassurance. Then again, I'm not sure whether she appreciates Lacrimosa blasting out in its full glory at 7:15 in the morning. Probably not.
I guess the inevitable question that might crop up is: How's Adelaide? What's it like compared to Melbourne?
I shall endeavour to answer both questions with simple comparisons:
Melbourne has trams with multiple tram lines.
Adelaide has trams with one tram line.
Melbourne has trams that either smell like sweat, BO or nothing.
Adelaide has trams that smell like poo.
Melbourne has China Town.
Adelaide has China Street.
Melbourne has Melbourne Cup.
Adelaide has Adelaide Cup.
You get the point. Adelaide's pretty much a mini-Melbourne. Although, bagging it as I did, I didn't give it fair justice. Adelaide does in fact have its perks.
For instance, the other day I wandered into China Street and saw an awesome sign that immediately made my stop in my tracks: "Any servings for only $6.50". That's right. It was, self-served servings of asian things, ONLY FOR $6.50. That meant, limitless amounts of fatty spring rolls, chow mein etc. FOR ONLY $6.50. Sorry Melbourne, Adelaide just wins out in terms of gastronomic needs. Good work Adelaide.
Just as a 'btw', I think I should add that my puke-in-a-bowl concoction was dangerous stuff. For the past two days that I've been consuming it, it's given me lots of trouble down under. I have now used the law building, the Barr Smith Library, the Napier Building and numerous other locations' restrooms. Actually, while using the Napier Building's restrooms, the lights turned off for some reason. It scared the bejeebus out of me and I started to worry since I couldn't find the flush button. However, the block mobile's awesome yellow light helped immensely.
I have a feeling it was the egg. Just my sneaky suspicion.
Look out for more updates coming your way. Ooh. I think I'll be coming from the 6th to the 8th! :D
