- I've started trying to keep to a moderately loose "timetable" for life. Because I have a huge problem with moderation of my time. I am trying to fit in things around work such as: gym, lucy, icons, shows/movies blah, catching up with people, job hunting, reading... It's going okay so far. And what I mean about bad moderation of time? Let's see what I did just yesterday: I got up at 10am, applied for the 6 jobs I had saved (chucked together a portfolio too) and continued to watch *deep breath* Monk, Psych, Eden Lake, Save Me, Desperate Housewives, SNL, Skins, Trust Me and Being Human. (Around) 8.75 HOURS. SERIOUSLY D:
To give me a bit of credit I do do (hehe) other stuff while sitting on my arse. Like job hunting, icons, OCD DVD archiving...
- Speaking of TV. The Dollhouse pilot didn't really grab me unfortunately, might give it another go this week, but... meh. Also watched the pilot (and first ep tonight) of Being Human. Haha. It is my type of show! I was disappointed that the pilot vampire was recast though :( he was kind of cute in an anorexic emo kind of way. But George the were is hilarious!
- Gym is awful after work :( I'm just buggered and annoyed at how long it takes just to get there and riding the train back. Blah. I'm going to try and use my home treadmill tomorrow instead. I figure if I can do the same amount of jogging at home as in the gym it'd be beneficial (although the room the tread is in is so small and stuffy). Saying that, I do feel all those happy hormones being released after a gym session. My mind thanks me. My legs do not.
- And a quick rant about my weight. So I really wanted to do the weight loss thing from about Mid-07 and it went well for a year. I lost around 6kg. Then I went to Vietnam and enjoyed all the awesome food and couldn't make myself get back into the gym after that and put it all back on in, like, 6 months. Funny thing was, I didn't LOSE any weight at the gym (I lost it all on the tread at home and diet change blahblah) but it kept it maintained. So yes. I want to lose that 6 again at least. I have goal clothes! Actually just my pair of Ted Baker jeans. They're so nice, a rusty brown colour and they're very finnicky with my weight. They FIT when I'm 68kg, fit comfortably on 67kg days and just not at all on 69kg days. It was quite annoying *lol*
- My grandpa has gone into hospital tonight D:
He's been there since the arvo, but JUST got out of the waiting bay (I don't think he's in a room yet). Think it's a fever at the moment and yeah, other icky stuff. He's been in and out every so often, so... I don't know.
OMG I SWEAR. If my "feeling" of a repeat of 2006 happens...
- 2009 is the year of unemployment. I am (sort of I guess), Dad is. Several of my other family members are. Really. The world sucks.
My aunt felt so bad for this one guy at her work though. Even though he was so, so stupid.
Aunt and this guy were working on an assembly line and he wanted to get my aunt's attention by tapping her on the shoulder with the stanley knife in his hand. With the blade still out. My aunt swerved a bit and the knife swiped her of course and she let out a yell. The knife had sliced through her labcoat type top and she was bleeding. Not a deep cut (no stitches) but yeah. AND THE GUY GOT FIRED. On the spot.
But get this! The company was planning to lay off a bunch of people soon (y'know, with a redundancy pack) so basically, they just sacked this guy to not have to give him a payout. He would've just gotten a warning otherwise. My aunt and others tried reasoning with the boss to no avail. Mum said it was lucky the guy had no family to support.
- Gosh. Why is this post so long?
- Have I already mentioned how much I love Merlin RPS? Ah, it's wonderful. I think this is the only fandom I willingly read chapters of fic for. I still like to read it all in one sitting though. LOL.
- Apparently RPattz, exaggerates. But Please be true - TWO SCENES? Strangely - yes, yes I want. Two I'm-so-excited-I-might-pee scenes.
- Wonderful, wonderful French folk music :)

I like how he sings about guys in his songs. Like, with none of that ambiguity shit. It just makes him, you know, the same as everyone else, I guess you could put it? I wonder if this song would appeal to everyone if it were wide released? Like, I'm sure straight boys know what straight girls are singing about (when they sing about guys) - er, does that make sense? Anyway, I think it does. I think all his songs do. They're all so sad :( Sometimes I want to be a Housewife too, dammit.
Anyway, I've been trying to learn Body's A Temple on Lucy. It's simple really. My plucking is just demented so the notes sound fucked a lot of the time *sigh* but yeah, I didn't realise until I started trying to sing along how he... uses imagery.
perfect body, perfect smile
your touch renders me servile, i love the
the way you speak to me, so sweet yet obscene
the way you smell of chlorine
i'm addicted, and you'd agree
i crave you endlessly
i feel useful on my knees
and i take comfort at your feet
chorus
they say your body's a temple, well, boy were they right
this feels so simple, i could kiss you all night
and i could spend forever in the palm of your hand
but when the clock strikes twelve, oh, you'll go home to another man
in my mind you found a fortress
one i'm happy to provide
no need to ask, just receive
believe it's yours to take what thrills you inside
- Okay, well, that kinda made a lot of sense.
