Sewing!
So I have a work mate coming over tomorrow to visit. I'm finally making good on an offer I made her AGES ago...I'm teaching her how to sew. Since she knows pretty much absolute zero, we'll be starting completely from scratch but at least she doesn't have anything bad to unlearn.
I'm really curious to see how it goes, especially as there is at least ( Read more... ) -
Fitness and Blah
Oh look! It's been...*counts on fingers*...only 4 months since I last posted! How's that for constancy?! *pfft!*
Sorry to those I haven't seen much of lately or haven't spoken to much. I've been pretty busy with work and stuff that I've kind of been away from the net a bit more. Amazing, but true. I will catch up with you all soon! Prolly gonna have ( Read more... ) -
Treadmills and Such
So I have gone on the treadmill every morning this week for at least 15 minutes, a mix of brisk walking, jogging and running. Crunches too! My iPod music helps so much, especially the times when I manage to almost trance out, stop thinking and just run/jog with the music. Hard to do though.
A friend a work mentioned something called Couch to 5K, a ( Read more... ) -
Whoops!
Ok, so this going to be surprising to absolutely no one but it's been 3 months since the last time I posted. So much for attempting to post more regularly. I'm going to blame work. Yep, that's my story. The things is...it's true, mostly. I was covering for someone else who was on leave for several weeks and then I was working to try and keep the ( Read more... ) -
Amusing Accents
You know how there is so much silly you can do on the net to amuse one's self? That's what I was doing tonight.
I love accents, some definitely more than others. Always used to have a weak spot for Aussie accents but I think now that I've lived close to decade here, it's not as strong as it was. *lol* The Scots and the Irish are hilarious to me and ( Read more... ) -
Armageddon & Oscars
So, Sydney Armageddon is done and dusted. Was a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone. I wore my Legolas and Marie Antoinette and was surprisingly comfortable so long as I could ignore the agony that was my blistered feet. XD Everybody looked fantastic!
Got my pic taken with the head demon, Christopher 'Alistair' Heyerdahl and he was a real ( Read more... ) -
Mugshots & Mucking about
Have to go into the RTA tomorrow and get a new mugshot done. Ick! That's the one thing I hate about license renewals. You'd think that with all the tech at their fingertips now, they'd be able to take a half decent picture but nope. Actually, I think they go out of their way to catch you at the worst possible moment. Trained to, in fact. Evil ( Read more... ) -
Japanese Fashion - Hime Gyaru
It won't come as a surprise to anyone who knows me to hear me say that I love japanese fashion. When I say that, I'm not even referring to the traditional styles, like kimonos and such, even though I do love those too. I mean modern fashion, street fashion. The Japanese have an amazing way with clothes, with adapting them and changing the way ( Read more... ) -
Lolifest 5
The fifth annual Lolifest was a very quiet one this year, though I had hoped to make it somewhat bigger. Things just didn't work out quite as I hoped. I intend to plan another event shortly to make up for it; I'm thinking Lolis on Ice. :)
We did have fun, though, and I got to meet some new Sydney lolis who are, more or less, just getting into ( Read more... ) -
More Random Postings
So, last night while I was trying to sleep but flip-flopping like a fish because of the heat, I somehow managed to pull something in my neck. Talented, aren't I? No I can't move much because it hurts too much. Thank goodness for the Internet! *lol* Because I'm stuck here, have my new LJ app and have said I'm going to post more, I not bring you a ( Read more... )
