It's naughty because I should be writing my screenplay. It's due this afternoon, and I have a little less than half of it left to write. I can do it. When I finish my hot chocolate ( Read more... )

As evidenced in the title: I got my tax return the other day, and this afternoon I met with sir_cumspect to spend it. This, along with sleeping in and Foyle's War have made today a fucking fantastic friday!

Things that make me feel good about Today- Swimming. I felt wonderfully energised after it this morning. I'm slowly getting better too. It's good ( Read more... )

♥ Jason Mraz's concert at the Tivoli on Thursday night. I went with pragmatical and flossums and had a blast. We had thai food first, with some bubbly, then hit the Tivoli. I got a shirt. Had a blast. Only complaint being that there were wayyyy too many people and we rocked up a bit late, so we ( Read more... )

♥ Eight years ago, the Olympics were here in Australia, and we'd only just moved into this house. I remember watching the opening ceremony with my family in the living room with the TV just next to the fire. The next day we caught a plane (Virgin-- they'd only just launched in Australia and we had cheap cheap tickets) to head to Sydney. Those two ( Read more... )
