a night off

took no beer last night, sat round programming in hostel common room 'till about midnight; in the elevator on the way home a couple of english girls who had been swilling beers in Bondi leaped in with me. They had 2-for-1 cards for drinks at some other bar and were trying to puzzle out where it was so they could go the next day. Being merely extremely tired rather than blind drunk, I was able to decypher the writing on the front of the card (it was printed in English, so not a hard task); "Auckland," I said (not even lying). I suspect they will not go.
Also after some brief biographical exchange they got stuck on repeatedly asking when my parents had moved from California to Guildford. Then I went to sleep until 1230. I still feel a little tired. Poor me. Big big greasy breakfast in Central Gourmet Cafe, which is part of the central YHA that I'm staying in (three sausages and six bits of bacon, two eggs, a tomato, two slices of toasted bread, long black (that wasn't very long but tasted great) for AUD11.30 -- have not internalised what an AUD is wrt other currencies yet so don't really know how much - maybe 5 sterling 8 US?)
