Sydney mates!

Well this is the second time I'm writing this blog, since it all just got deleted. So it might not be as interesting as it was before...

We made it to Sydney yesterday afternoon! After checking into our hotel, I walked around the city while we still had an hour of daylight.
Our hotel is right across from Hyde Park (I feel like I'm in London) so I walked over there, to the botanical gardens. and to St. Marks (or John, or Paul, some Bible name) Church. It was delightful!
The weather was a bit rainy and cloudy, and it's pretty cold right now, but other than that Sydney is on the top of my Aussie list!
Last night Max and I found a pub to eat at (and there were $5 pints) with live music. It was fantastic, but we were the only ones dancing, apparently the Aussies don't know how to rock out like we do! USA - 1 Australia - 0
2 shows tonight, 1 tomorrow and then we are off to Newcastle!

P.S. the pics are dark because of the shitty weather...
















1) there are crazy birds everywhere that make redic noises. Here is one, I don't know what it's called but it shouts.
2) Rach T alone date means I took pics of myself... there is the bay and a lot of grass
3) Max and I at the pub
4) ew so there were trees full of bats. It was gross. I got out of there before dark.
5) The other side of the city
6) The city and cockatoos
7) St. Mark, Paul, John Church, inside and out. It was a pretty cool church

Production saves the day!

Yesssss! We had a cable that fit into my camera in our case. So here are pictures of outback animals and me!














1) me kissing a kangaroo
2) baby kanga with mommy. so cute
3) the kanga is slowly hopping away from me...
4) aw
5) the city from my hotel window
6) Tasmanian Devil! This does not look like the cartoons... but it does eat chunks of meat
7) a baby koala with mom!
8) a wombat that bites... it looks like a hog
9) yeahhh
10) different kind of kangaroo... they were smaller and didn't hop around as much.

Made it to Brisbane!

We made it to Brisbane! The flight was pretty long, but not too bad. I didn't sleep more than 2 hours so yesterday was pretty tough to get through.
What made it a little easier was jumping with kangaroos all day! This is not a joke. I jumped with kangaroos, talked to koalas and snapped pics with Tasmanian Devils. We went to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary right outside of Brisbane.
So I took tons of pictures, and I wanted to post them today. Only I FORGOT MY CAMERA CORD. Who does that?
So now I have to go find one in the city like an a-hole. Hopefully I'll get one by tonight so you can watch me kiss kangaroos.
Today we are loading in the show and then have the evening free. Let's see how Australia parties!

I'll post again soon!

P.S. People are so nice here, some random couple paid for our dinner last night and everyone smiles. It's crazy.

3 days till the Outback!


There are only 3 days until ultimate work fun in Australia! I'm getting too excited. Hopefully Ashley and I will just be able to hop around in kangaroo pouches the whole time, like so.

Fun fact that isn't that fun in reality: We leave on Sunday night and don't get there till Tuesday... at least they are playing movies on the plane?

6 blocks from Venice Beach = Awesome!

Today, Lauren and I signed a lease for this amazing apartment in Venice! 6 blocks from the beach, quiet neighborhood, coffee house up the street... I'm pretty pumped.
Anyways, here are some pics of the place, it's obviously still getting fixed up.

2) me and michael jordan at the sock outlet, no big deal. thanks Jenni's dad!

Oh hey there Maryland!









Last week I arrived in Maryland and I have been having some much fun I haven't been able to post! Actually... I was waiting for Sasha to send me wedding pictures, but she never did, and now I am over waiting for her. (Sasha, please take note)
I went to Chris Hyder's wedding last weekend, it was cute, I almost cried, are we getting old?
For the rest of the week I have been hanging with the fam, friends in the MD area, and I'm about to get on a 8 passenger plane to Lancaster to see Jenni! Tomorrow is free ice cream day at Friendly's....
Here are some pics of my MD adventures, I WISH I HAD MORE WHORE.

1) Fam pic for Leo's 15th birthday
2) My Mom and I at Harper's Ferry!
3&4) Good thing we didn't fall!
5) Cousins + Sash playing Egyptian Ratscrew, a family tradition.

One more post to come before I'm back in LA! Where it doesn't rain all day everyday and the humidity is 0%!
