Seratonin

I had planned to write a blogpost about my annoyence with the instability of my seratonin levels, but the levels happen to be at a high again following a recent phone conversation with a cheery British Airways agent and I have now decided that said post would merely (1) bore you all and (2) lead you to correctly conclude that I am a rather unstable individual.

I have changed my ticket out of New Zealand and am now leaving for Chile on October 17th instead of November 5th. I am quite saturated with Kiwi-land for the time being (especially since high season has now properly kicked in and all the gapyear teenagers have arrived). I want to inroll in an intensive spanish course in Santiago for a few weeks and hopefully stretch my budget a little.

Managed to take this rather pretty Stencil/Grafiti Fisheye on my way today:



I shall hopefully return with more meaningfull posts once my PMT and seratonin-high have fought their battles. But right now, I'm off in search of a decent fry-up and a strong cup of coffee.
