D'OH!
I thought Ngaiire had it in the bag last night. Then again, I thought Ngaiire had it in the bag during her Group 1 performance ... **HMPH** she's so much better than Emelia
Don't get me wrong, I actually find myself endearing to Emelia's humility which to me seems really genuine, I don't think it's a put on by any means, and her If I Don't Have You rendition was one of the best of the night. But how can you have an Australian Idol final 12 and not have Ngaiire there - clearly one of the best vocalists of the entire competition despite a penchant for running the words of her songs together too frequently.
Am lending my support to Angie, Chanel and Casey, maybe to Ricki-Lee and Courtney as well and possibly also to Dan O'Connor (is that his name) because he's a sexy thang. The girls are on the whole so much better than the guys.

Meanwhile, life seems to be getting busy and it all seems to be happening right at the same time. Of course, the election looming means things are going to be busy at work for the next month and a half, and I'm sure there are going to be some crazy arse days thrown into the mix. Then there's the stressful matter of getting in three fairly big assignments next week, it's going to be a busy weekend. A few birthdays coming up, notably Z's, then there's my sister and a family friend whose birthdays also fall on that same weekend. Of course, there's the US Open which I'd follow more religiously if the action didn't occur during my sleep times.

Feel like I've been eating rather unhealthy these days. I think I need a fruit and veg injection, been eating way too much junk. And way too much meat (shut up dri). At the risk of grossing, I've been thinking of maybe undergoing some sort of cleansing routine, perhaps eating - exclusively - salads for a month or two. Then perhaps ... see I'm (worryingly) intrigued by - ahem - irrigation and what that's supposed to do for your system. ????

Have placed a temporary halt on looking for jobs. My jobs inbox has been completely cleared out now and I am not looking for anything new until I get my business back in order. Actually had a mini panic once I cleared my jobs inbox, at least before there was the hope and the prospect of getting something new. Now I know I'm definitely stuck here for a period of time, unlike before when there was the hope that I'd be snapped up for a job immediately and I'd give my two/three weeks' notice that day.
Aahhhh. The dream. Will remain just a dream for the next two months though.

Had a bit of a kerfuffle with the FBB last night - beyond the normal bickering that is. Actually think I stuffed things up and he hasn't returned my text message. Of course, I'm usually too stubborn to admit I did anything wrong during the conversation and it was only a few hours after the conversation I came to the realisation that, wait, maybe I was wrong. Mmm, the mind boggles but stranger things have happened, I suppose. I just seem to have lost my focus and my temper these days and I seem to be waking up on edge these days, and I think in the process I said something offensive to him which of course I thought was justified at the time.
I dunno. He never usually stays angry for long, in fact, even after what I said he was the one trying to patch things up and I was the one being difficult. Oh yes, I am high maintenance.
