Hello everyone! My sweetie and I are heading off on holidays TODAY! We are going to Cheese Country! \o/ There will probably be no internet there, I don't know, NSW seems like a pretty backwards place to me. (Do they even have electricity?) See you in a bit over a week! :D

- today I spent a massive JUST UNDER 10 DOLLARS on a USB↔USB cable so that I could listen to itunes (from my computer) on my stereo's speakers, since my extra speakers for my computer BROKE unexpectedly and rather early into their life too (i blame all those 30-35+°C days in Nov). HOWEVER, can I get these two devices to connect and work together? ( Read more... )

Hey, so you know how I served Katie Holmes in the shop on Thursday? I forgot to mention that when I served her, I had my I've-had-a-cold-for-a-week-and-my-voice-is-now-deep-and-sexy voice. I like that voice because then I can sing some nice low stuff that I can't otherwise sing (Katie can't verify this). Also, I had taken off my scarf and stuffed ( Read more... )

It's film festival season in Melbourne. I love it. The queues are crazy, sessions are selling out like boom! My blissfully retired parents are all organised with their mini-passes and booked sessions and calm, relaxed, carefully caffienated lifestyle, while I am running around, scrambling, always late, trying to get into a film simply because it's ( Read more... )

I'm back from my mini-holiday, home with a cat on my lap. Will post about it later. I have a stack of photos and thoughts and moments and memories, and it was wonderful and not long enough, and I have real life to get back into, but at least I can look forward to Roller Derby on Saturday. I probably won't catch up with my flist (sorry). Also, I had ( Read more... )

I am not!sober on Perry and I have some things to say:

1. the conclusion of Oz and James Drink to Britain - CLASSIC! Genius! Wonderful! I salute you, Oz and James. (My record slow watching time, let me show you it.)

This picture makes me ridiculously happy:

WTF, self? Two crafting days in short succession (at the Really Big Party and then on Monday with Nix at TMGP's craft meeting) and then what do I do this afternoon, after a leisurely brunch with Sajee and peace-bloom at my favourite midweek cafe? Instead of writing (the original, if vague, plan) I spent a good chunk of the afternoon DOING CRAFT. I made a huge mess ( Read more... )

Had an excellent weekend, though I do feel it's over too quickly, damn bugger bum shit. On Saturday, some of us went to the Roller Derby! OMG so so so so AWESOME! I already harboured the desire to be a roller derby girl but now even more! And my team won! I've never had a team before. I'm not really into team sports or even sport in general (not ( Read more... )
