Last week was hideous and horrible and I'm glad it is over, over, over. I handed in three assignments, one on thursday and two on friday - the thursday was beyond awful but I was very pleased with both the friday assignments so it evens out, kinda.

( went out last night )

So, remember how I broke my glasses in a really silly way? Well, today my new pair arrived in the mail. The frames are purple and green and rectangular and chunky and I actually cannot wait to take my contacts out so I can put them on. I think I've reached new heights of dork ( Read more... )

Hoooooome. *flops around* My absolute favourite thing about coming home to Christchurch is probably... the obscene amount of television I can watch before uni starts. So far this week I've bleached and scrubbed the bath and toilet, cleaned out the kitchen (including wiping every single cupboard both inside and out) and my bedroom, set up my room, ( Read more... )

dear livejournal, apparently I am back with you earlier than I thought, because one of the boxes under the tree this morning contained... a brand new wireless card, one I can actually use with my family's network. I predict this will be my second-most used gift, the first-most being the very shiny blue 4Gb ipod nano that was wrapped in about twenty ( Read more... )

So my parents are away? So I am sort of pretending to take care of the kids. I hasten to assure you that when I say "the kids" I mean my brothers and my sister, and not, you know, my actual children or, in fact, people who are significantly younger than me in any respect; Rewi's 17, Hedley's 15 and Freya's 13, so they can basically clothe and clean ( Read more... )

Shindig last night: went swimmingly; discovered the reason my last batch of chocolate buttercream tasted like coffee was because, in fact, I used mocha chocolate instead of chocolate chocolate (thank you, whittaker's, for making your packaging NEXT TO IDENTICAL); Weather was extremely hot but I managed to get two out of three cakes into the fridge ( Read more... )

*twitch* Fridays between 2pm (the time SPN finishes airing on the East Coast) and midnight (the time I normally get hold of the new ep) are a very tense time for me. I have some West Wing to watch but I'm not really digging it, I've played about a million games of web tetris and keep dying at level ten, I've done my violin practise and mopped the ( Read more... )

Every time I walk past a Lush shop, I feel like the most ridiculous sort of girly-girl. I have in the past happily washed with Budget shampoo and conditioner, I've never dyed my hair, I cut it about once a year and blowdry every twelvth of never, I don't own moisturiser or any kind of hand or foot cream and as far as skincare goes I have a gel ( Read more... )

Going skiing with la famille (sans mum) this weekend (expect snow to be crap, but that's okay because I haven't seen them for a few months now and they're not totally gruesome, so.) Am taking:
-Firefly
-BTVS S3
-House S2
- Numbers 3x01, House 3x03, the Legends pilot (I have NO idea what that's about, but it's been recommended to me, so.)
- Catch 22 ( Read more... )

Note to self: watching the last two episodes of Angel S5 for the first time is probably not a smart thing to do ten minutes before heading off to seven hours in retail hell. It makes you want to kill things with a sword, rather than smile and be cheerful to assholes ( Read more... )
