    Life’s worth living
    When nature’s giving
    Happiness to everyone
    So let’s go sunning

    Okay Melbournians, who's interested in doing poop?

    Basic sunday-type plan, estimated cost $50 and up:
    1. Hit up a dim sum place in chinatown with an 11am start.
    2. Once fed we can go to Cookies for fine beers.
    3. Watch something horrible at Hoyts and ruin the experience for other moviegoers.

    I think to be fair you still need to be careful about what you're doing... Australia is sort of under a big gaping hole in the Ozone, as most people seem to forget. Our Sun here is a tad more dangerous than the sun you'd get over the other side of the planet.

    oh yeah, fair call. but to write off tanned skin completely is stupid - like viv said, you can still get a tan when you use sunscreen.

    if you'll read a but more carefully, you'll notice that I was not writing off tanned skin, but sunbathing.
    I prefer pale skin, but to do nothing but sit out in the sun for hours in order to turn yourself brown repulses me.

    yeah I don't know if I've ever sunbathed

    usually I get a tan by swimming (you actually tan faster in the water than near it) or by being outside at a park on a picnic and I'm naturally running around in the sun and stuff

    one of my best tanning experiences was a 6-hour day of beach volleyball

    came away with some of the funniest tan lines ever

    sports bra and shorts and tank top

    I looked hilarious

    also when I trained competitively for swimming I had two training suits (one clear open back, one racer back) and one competition suit (the zip-up neck-high aqua blade suit)

    SO MANY DIFFERENT SHADES OF BROWN I WAS

    Synth you know I'll come. Near the end of semester at the moment though. I think June 1st is the last day I have anything due, and my exams start on the 22nd or 23rd. Some time in between would be sweet for me. I promise to have a shave and cut my hair back a bit.

    Mr Orange, I would like to join you on this endeavour.

    I'm a chilli beef type guy when it comes to Chinese food though so this dim sum thing will be slightly scary.

    Number Three is the reason my brother and I rarely go see movies together.
    Whenever we watch a movie I'm reminded of the Monty Python Sketch with the pepperpots watching a movie.

    We could go see an awesome movie instead, or any other suitable activity. There will be no negotiation on the beer though, and dim sum is varied enough that you will probably find something to enjoy. The only problem is that yum cha is really better when there's more people around, so that you get to try out more stuff.

    June seems far off enough yet that people can get their stuff together in time.

    okay Perthites/sandgropers

    I've thrown down 30th May as a tentative date for the movie night, it is HIGHLY negotiable, so let me know what you think

    since it's an all-afternoon thing it pretty much has to be Saturday... Sunday has me playing AND coaching volleyball for at least four hours, and that's if I'm lucky enough not to have to do officiate a game as well!

    Hey so I might be coming to Melbourne for one night for work in a few weeks

    It'd probably be midweek and I'd probably be staying in St Kilda

    anybody wanna come eat Italian and then go to Acland street for some cake and drink a beer or two at the Espy?

    These are the things I have to do every time I go to Melbourne.
