I woke up with a horrible splitting headache this morning, I drank a good amount of water and went for a walk hoping that maybe some fresh air and some water will sort it out but all it did was make it a little less crappy. I’m back at home after getting some fresh air during the day, organise a passport photo, had dinner with mum (from the local Noodle Canteen). I was able to get my passport updated online by uploading the photo – the photo of the passport is pretty horrible but I think that has to do with the way I was sitting on the seat. I’ve organised it all online so hopefully in a few weeks I’ll get it delivered and I’ll be all ready for a trip to Australia.

I was able to recover my Emirates air points account that I setup a couple of years ago when I went to Europe and found that I could use the points to pay for part of the cost of travelling to Australia. I’ve also standardised the email address I’m using for both Air New Zealand as well as Emirates which will make managing the online accounts a whole lot easier. I have multiple aliases for my email so that I can keep track of the various organisations I have provided my email to so then I can keep track of where emails are coming from and whether a particular business has been compromised at some point.

On a good side, I was able to get a free coffee when I was down the road which is always nice so I got a muffin as well then had a look around. I saw a few items of clothing I quite liked the store I frequent – I’d like to get an extra pair of brown pants and I’m also looking at getting a tallboy for my office so that I can put my exta clothes in. At the moment I’m currently hanging up my hoodies however if I put it in a tallboy then that’ll free up more space on my wardrobe that at the moment is a bit crowded. I’m looking at also a album I’ve seen online – Isaac Hayes ‘Black Moses’ but I’ll need to see where I can get it on Discogs or whether I should just buy the album through the Stax records online store which has it available in FLAC format. The benefit of the FLAC version is that the quality is the same as getting the physical copy with the added benefit of not having to pay postage and packaging down to New Zealand.
