It's good to be 3

It's REALLY cold today. I sat outside a cafe with Steve, wishing I could enjoy the warmth of estival breezes.

I couldn't have been busier these days, looking for housing for someone who has just arrived in Melbourne, playing games late at night in my friend's house in Brunswick, seeking course advice from Louise and tossing around with different broadband companies and plans, etc. Thank God I went to see Ocean Thirteen with Steve this afternoon despite the fact that the movie really sucked. I hadn't noticed that there was a cinema in Melbourne Central, cos I hadn't been upstairs before. For me, it was totally a train station, nothing else, oh yeah, Coles as well. What's more, I discovered a good place on Collin Street. That's a street crossing Collin and the one which is parallel to Collin on the east where there are a lot of cafes and restaurants around.

Well, as to Ocean Thirteen, it was, in my opinion, a letdown, cos I almost fell asleep while watching. I wanted to watch it because I knew Matt would be inside. The only thing that impressed me was that those guys could understand each other even if they were speaking different languages. An old FBI tale, together with old style filming, which took me back to 1970's, was really a waste of money and time. Matt thimbleriged me into spending $12.5 on the crap:(, which is pretty shitty. So if you haven't seen it, don't ever try to get a ticket.

Do you fancy a snow trip? I'm going a few days before the semester starts. If any of you guys feels like it, sms me or send me an email. Hope everything is going well for all of you.

PS this is from the email I received from Melbourne Universe:
"It costs $80 (very very very cheap), and that includes food, accommodation and petrol for the three days; we're having a day of skiing/snowboarding/taboganning/throwing
snow at people, with snowboarding and skiing costing an extra $100ish, and toboganning an extra $30."
And also, the quote "marvelous chef" Lara will be joining the trip to provide us with her culinary expertise according to the email. I don't know who this guy is by the way.
