So, yesterday I was due to meet my counterpart in Dunedin. It's a two and a half hour drive to Dunedin. It has a one way system.

You remember the last time I tried to go to Dunedin.

This time I was going to be driving myself! Alone! To a part of Dunedin I had never been before! GUARANTEED FAIL!

( AND IT WAS. )

In the words of our favourite internet star of the moment (well... probably of 20 minutes ago, but since he's now featuring in TV advertising in New Zealand it's current for us) - WHAT DOES IT MEEEEEEEEEEEAN?!

( COWORKERS DO NOT RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAY, THAT'S FUCKING WHAT! )

I am a Batman fan.

As in, pretty much all forms of Batman, except for George Clooney. I'm not big into Christian Bale (squicks me out and makes me think of Tom Cruise, for some reason), but those Batman versions were enjoyable enough. Michael Keaton, though, for ME personally, had just the right edge of "very nearly psychotic" that I think Batman ( Read more... )

Have a squizz at this advertisement, which appears with IRRITATING regularity on my television.

REALLY?!

First off, I absolutely, just cannot fucking STAND the start of the song Shout. I cannot abide it. Poor old Lulu screeching "WEEE-EEEE-EEE-EEE-EEEEE-EEEEEEEEL" immediately has the effect of making my scalp retreat (which happens when I'm REALLY, ( Read more... )

Thank you SO much to all my lovely flisties who commented yesterday and gave me luvs and supports. You made me cry, damn you all. (You know, in that way when you're RIGHT ON THE EDGE just managing to hold back the tears and then someone says something nice and you're all: "OH GOD, don't be NICE to me! *sob sob sob sob sob sob*"? Yeah. Like that.)

Dear Fuckwits Outside My Fucking House,

Look, I know you've decided in your infinite wisdom that the tree that used to live outside my house was a total inconvenience and that instead it might be nice to make a parking bay outside my window. I don't understand, but I know that's your plan.

I like that you gave me warning you were going to cut it down ( Read more... )

Contrary to what you might think, I never had this on my school report cards. Actually, all of my school report cards were nauseatingly glowing, because I *loved* my teachers and I was incredibly attentive and well-behaved at school because I loved it there and never wanted to go home.

After yesterday's frustrations, though (on a Friend Locky post! ( Read more... )

GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKER!

We have a mouse. A MOUSE. AGAIN.

We had mice in our last place in Christchurch towards the end of our tenancy. It drove me INSANE. They seemed to be coming in through the laundry or bathroom, and hanging around in the kitchen (of course). They were in the pantry, eating our food. They were in our wardrobe, nibbling up the floor ( Read more... )

Weigh in results this week: GAINED 0.1 kg.

FUCK.

I know that's only 100g, but... FUCK.

I did 6 hours of total exercise this week. 6 hours. Which is nearly twice as much as last week. I haven't been able to point everything I've eaten, because we were in the "last week before pay week" death throes and I could only eat our old pantry stand-bys of ( Read more... )

So! I got a letter yesterday from my landlord/Letting Agent people, telling me that they were going to come by at some point between 1pm and 5pm (don't you just HATE that?! Can't ANYONE make a goddamned appointment anymore, rather than leaving these MASSIVE windows where someone "might" come by, so if you don't mind putting yourself ON HOLD for all ( Read more... )
