There was a freakin' parade

So today had some cool stuff happen.
What wasn't cool was waking up around seven to the sounds of construction. Seriously for a city that shuts down after five pm what the hell are construction workers doing using jackhammers at seven in the morning? So anyways I woke up and headed off to work as per usual. Thing I love about Thursdays, (which for those of you not keeping score at home was this past day in NZ) is that the big bossman spends the morning with his mokopuna (granddaughter in maori) which means that I can screw around and not work so damn hard. So that was nice, though he did pop in for a bit at like 10 with his granddaughter who was very cute, but very shy.
So it was an okay morning, then I left for lunch. As I am buying my fish'n'chips I hear an odd sound, drums. I look outside and notice that there is a parade. See there's this Rugby tournament called the sevens. Rugby is usually played with fifteen players on each side, the sevens is a seven person per team rugby game, and this was a traveling tournament with sevens players from all over the world. So each country's team was riding a float with music, and dancers, and people giving out free shit following each float. It was awesome, there were Fijan singers, people dressed up as the Blues Brothers, free mini rugby balls, Bagpipe players. It was great, lots of fun.
So I came back from work, and then did stuff for most of the afternoon. Though at around three my boss sat down with me and we discussed work/my travel plans for seeing New Zealand. It was nice that he was interested in the well-being of my trip. Then he left for the hospital and I listened to music at my desk.
So then after work I stopped off at the library, and I dropped off a comic, and picked up four more, which is cool. Then I went back home, Oren was out with peeps from the other apartment, Zach was high off his ass. The rest of the evening was boring, watching The Fountain, which was maybe the weirdest movie I have ever seen, then played some guitar, yeah and that's about it. Tomorrow is friday, whoo!
