hey guys. yup, its me, back from the void and let me tell you, the void is tiring. yessiree..

anyhoo, i figured i should keep you guys updated on the last few weeks seeing as its been almost a month since i last updated...

its been a pretty busy few weeks, although fairly repetitive. im still enjoying it, though it seems everyone is getting fatigued. i figure it'll perk up again on the last week as everyone gears up to say goodbye for another year.
last week we had the first round of "Girls 2 Greatness" camp which is a girl empowement camp...they do stuff like learning how to make perfume and facial treatments and stuff, but they also do things like learn how to change a car tyre and work a circuit breaker. they also do some stuff on the challenge course, which i took them for. and then had a small entourage for the rest of the week of admiring girls.
-_-;;;

so this week i decided not to get involved... \

we also had a camp called "Thats not Camp" which is a video game camp for boys. at the end of the week we took all the game consoles and had a massive Smash Bros Brawl tournament and Rock Band fest, along with Steak Dinner! good times... ;p

i've also been heavily involved with a camp called "Leaps of Faith" which we have every week. they spend a lot of time on the challenge course, and they're nearly always pretty good kids. i enjoy working with them.

this week is the second round of Late Night camp (three weeks after the first set) so im trying to take all the time i can to rest up. tonight they have high-ropes course from 7-10 pm and then on thursday we have giant swing from 11am till whenever it finishes, followed by the Late Night Gallilean service, which is at 4am. yay sleep deprivation! ((0_0))

and next week is the final week of regular camp. after that we have a week of day camp, and then i'll be doing a further two weeks of challenge course/maintenance work on site. then, at the end of august, i'll be heading off, maybe doing some travelling. we'll see how it goes.

on the recreational side, i havent been doing a whole lot. i went to see "Dark Knight" which is a PHENOMENAL movie. you should go see it just for Heath Ledger's protrayal of the Joker alone, not to mention stunning performances from every other actor.
i also saw "Hancock" with Will Smith, which was an enjoyable movie, i recommend you go see it as well.
i also picked up the "Voices of a Distant Star" manga from Borders the other day. the thing is, i have an ORIGINAL japanese copy of this manga at home that i was gonna get round to translating someday (y'know...after i learn to read/write/speak/understand japanese...its on my to do list), but when i saw the english version on the shelf my hand automatically reached out and grabbed it. *shrugs* what can i say? "Voices" is one of my fav anime/manga pieces of all time. i love it.

in other news, my MP3 player bought the farm, so i went out and bought a new one. same size, 2 gig, but a better brand, so hopefully more reliable.
im also worried about Midori, i fear she may have acquired a few viruses during her time here, but without the ability to connect to my home netwqrk, i cant run the built in virus scanner. i should buy some anti virus software, but i havent had the chance.
speaking of viruses, i myself have had a bit of a head cold the last couple of weeks. lots of sneezing and coughing and phlegm, along with a couple of headaches, but no big deal. im pretty much over it now.


and uhm...yeah. that's it from me for the time being. i hope all your summers have been going well. and to those of you going back to college (particularly those of the Australian persuasion) i hope that it goes well for you.


till next we meet (which may or may not be from an entirely different location within the United States)

ciao for now!
