Saturday, 5am - Sunday, 2am

I ask Caitlin how her day went:
The new boy sits behind me in class.
Oh cool. Is he nice?
Ya - his name's Conrad.
Has he got 3 heads?
No - he's polish.
...
It's like in Europe, but also in Asia. Its up, and right next to Germany. I sit at the front of the class so I've got the globe on my desk.

The scooter is not as self-balancing as a car. This has to do with the car having 4 wheels, so being more like a motorised coffee table, and the scooter being more like a pogo stick with hyperactive kangaroo strapped to the back. Umbilo Discount Liquors is open at 6pm on Saturday - unlike some other bottle stores I might mention. Umbilo Discount Liquors has miles of Paarl Perle, whisky with bad black labels, and quarts of beer. It also had a bottle of Jose Quervo gold, but it doesn't anymore. The cubby for the scooter is under the seat - it is nifty, by which I mean it is pretty damn small and doesn't hold nearly enough. It doesn't hold a 6-pack of Amstels. It does, by some divine whim of the modern Chinese manufacturing miracle, hold a whole bottle of tequila. The house has an amazing view down over Glenwood and over the harbour - in the evening the lights twinkle in the heat haze. Later, much, much later, while we help the girl who is throwing up into her lovely black hair, it feels like we're looking at a nebula forming star-systems filled with promises of a new world.

This photo and the next one are how to make a cupcake according to William. At the top you can see the tools and workspace necessary, and at the bottom you can see the finished result.
