A Plea For Help!

As I said yesterday I am in a bit of a pickle. I am begining to run out of things to write about. Like back home, the weeks are taking on a similar routine which aren’t that interesting to write about. Of course I’ll keep posting my usual whinges; I have a few up my sleeve for a rainy day.

So my plea to you is for ideas to write about. What do you want me to write about? It could be almost anything. If it is good I may even creat a video to discuss! Hell set me a challenge if you want, it isn’t like uni gets in the way… If no one has any ideas I’ll continue on like usual, posting a Sunday roundup on  Wednesday at the earliest. The more you give me, the more I give you. So comment below, flick me an email or message me 0n Facebook.

Also don’t forget to vote in my poll to win some awesome prizes! If you discover the voting loophole, don’t vote for the same thing twice. That only hinders you, I’m looking at you Hannah…

Sunday Roundup

Sunday 21 September

Can I be bothered trying to keep up with this questions for next week?

Maybe

So another interesting goes by. This Sunday marked  weeks since I landed in Missoula and 8 weeks since I arrived in the States. Time is flying by. Though the exciting, touristy stuff has been left in the past… for now, something may be in the pipeline in the coming weeks. Heres hoping the timing works out.

Not much of signifcant note happens during a typical uni week. I just tend to notice small things happening. Like someone spilling what appears to be a bag of cocaine on the footpath in the university.

[Competition] Win Something!

As discussed in the Sunday Roundup I’m hosting a poll on what my condition will be on arrival in NZ. 1 vote per person. Must be logged into social media to vote. Winner must live in New Zealand or select states within the USA (I don’t know which yet). There is 1 winner and 1 runner up. The winner will be chosen by random number generator from the winning option. E.g. if I arrive morbidly obese, the winner will be someone who selected morbidly obese. Poll will be open until Sunday, or longer because I’ll probably forget about it.

The prize will be selected by the winner and the runner up, with the winner getting first selection on prize. They will select 1 of 3 available prizes which are: A large bag of chocolate, a toothbrush, a cheeseburger.

Actual prize may vary slightly in brand and model.

I’m Back!

I am back!! This is my own website. I can do whatever I want with it! All new activity will happen here. I will try and import the mailing list from the old site in the next few hours so you shouldn’t have to do anything. As this has only just gone online expect stuff not to work for a while, it is still in it’s rough infancy. Let me know if things don’t aren’t working still in a couple of days.

Final Post :(

Welcome to my last post on this site. It has been fun but I have grown tired. I want to do something else with my time. So I say goodbye to my loyal audience. Thanks for the memories.

It isn’t a sad day though. It is a happy day. After days of behind the scenes waiting, working and planning, I have created a new website. elmeheecan.kiwi is my own website. My own little bit of the internet that I own. My blog content is being transfered across as we speak and when I get time I will tweak it so it all works perfectly. Regular postings will resume imminently.

There will be some other stuff on the website as well in the future.

So head on over to my new website. The future looks sweet!

[Announcement] Major Site Upgrade Planned

Within the next day or so the site will undergo a massive revamp. It will not be recognisable in the slightest.

Maybe I’m over hyping the planned changes, maybe I’m not hyping them up enough. I suspect I’m not hyping it up enough. That’s good because when you see the extent of the changes you will be blown away. It is like having low expectations of grades achievable. If you aim for 51%, when you get 55% you have surpassed your expectations and you feel amazing! Not that I have low expectations. I don’t know. I’m just rambling now. If you read to here, for once I have wasted your time. I promise not to waste it again. Why are you still reading this post? I explained what is happening in the first sentence. Now you can’t blame me, as you chose to continue reading. Go outside and play, or have a coffee, or sleep, anything but continuing to read this ramble. Subscribe to me and you will be emailed when the upgrade is done. It will be my next post. Go! Go do something more productive.

The World According To Montana (Part 2)

A little while ago I discussed how Montana viewed the rest of the world. Now that everyone has settled in we are able to explore the minds of a greater sample of people in terms of their views on the rest of the world.

In short, they don’t believe that it even exists.

More shockingly, they don’t believe that the American continent even exists. But New Zealand’s bench and door are still represented. This looks bad for me…

Chocolate And Cards

It turns out that the amazing deal on chocolate that i found back in the day is actually a scam. A rip off. A total waste of time. Why? Look what I found for $13.

135 addictive sized chocolates. It is a crime to buy the smaller bag!

At the supermarket I also discovered a thing called ‘Boss’s Day” which I am skeptical is a real thing, and not just another money grabbing bullshit day the card companies made up. Sadly I missed it, like I seem to miss most card days. Oh well, there is always next year

Sunday Roundup (Last Sunday)

Sunday 14 September

What will be the fallout from falling asleep in class?

110% on first quiz. I might try sleeping in class more often

Is it possible to find an even better chocolate deal?

Yes

Will I buy an iron from Walmart because the ones available here are evil?

Yes, and this one isn’t evil

Will I shrink all of my clothes in the washing and have to buy an entire wardrobe?

Ha! No.

As has become apparent the dates get away from me and I have failed on almost every occasion to post a Sunday roundup on the Sunday to which it relates to. As a result there may be events that I forget. This has the positive flow on effect of me not including boring stuff that obviously wasn’t important enough to remember in the first place.

In Search Of Aurora Borealis

Friday night saw was due to be the best night of the year to see the Northern Lights of the year. Following the advice of newspaper articles (NBC Montana) we headed out of town to a remote location, the promise of an amazing show is too hard to resist. Expectations were high in the Irish car, with Shannen and Fiona singing along to songs from the mooovie ‘Frozen’, excellent stuff!

We arrived just before the optimal viewing time of midnight with great expectations.

Amazing, incredible photos. We were pumped and slightly chilly due to the cold Montana air. We waited around, fended off a mountain goat and baby grizzly bear, all in the name of some amazing lights in the sky.

Well did our survival efforts and patience pay off? Well check out my photos below… You be the judge!

No they did not…
