I've started having frequent dreams about my pending overseas adventure. Most of them take place in Scotland because this is my first proper destination and the one that I've put the most thought into. So far I've dreamt that a backpacker had died mysteriously on the tour I have booked (the yellow tour bus made an appearance in this dream), that I ( Read more... )

Why do my spontaneous attempts at doing something nice always fail woefully? I was shopping today and I decided to buy mum a new vase and some gerberas to go with it. Except I've gotten home and they just look silly. I think the vase is too big or something. This is why I don't attempt to do flowers. I am hoping this will be overlooked when I  ( Read more... )

Yay! My book came! I ordered 44 Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith off of The Book Depository last Friday and it arrived today. Cost only $15. Bargain. Unfortunately I cannot read it until I have finished my rereading of the seven Harry Potters but I started the sixth one tonight so suspect I'll be starting it next week sometime.

My credit ( Read more... )

There is the most peculiar noise wafting up the street, over rooftops and into my house at the moment. I think it is someone hosing their driveway with a high-powered hose, but it also sounds like an enormous, sizzling electric charge. Or even a giant hissing bird. Whatever it is, it's starting to get on my nerves. I mean, really, do you need to ( Read more... )

Quick ramble entry while I am trapped in my room waiting for the hallway floor to dry (blast you, mum!).

OMG GUESS WHAT I HAVE....

FREAKING ALADDIN ON FREAKING DVD!!!!! AAAAAAH!!!! Discovered it yesterday at JB Hi Fi on my lunch break. I have been craving this movie hardcore lately. Stupid bloody Disney Vault is the dumbest thing I've heard of. ( Read more... )

Took a day off work today to try and get better. It's really hard for me to take sick days, I can't justify missing a day's worth of pay. But I felt like ass and if I don't recuperate I'll just end up even more sick. So I spent the morning in a coma on the couch with Tux. His whiskers kept tickling my nose ( Read more... )

It baffles me that Heike has been the owner of a successful business for nearly twenty years. Tonight she mispaid me yet again. Yes, for a third time she put my pay into my old and now closed bank account, stating she "wasn't concentrating" when she did the pay. Why the hell is that account still listed? I closed it over a month ago and got my new ( Read more... )

The new work shirts have arrived and we are meant to start wearing them from next week. Those things are utterly hideous. It wouldn't be so bad if it fit me properly but I look like I'm wearing a particularly feral brand of sack. I feel like I am back in high school wearing that stupid shirt. I'll upload a picture when I can be bothered ( Read more... )

I bought new jeans today! They are slim flare and look fantastic, though I now have to get them taken up. The bane of being vertically challenged ( Read more... )

I have developed a new ritual recently. If I'm home on a Saturday night (which is most Saturdays) I will watch the Sex and the City mini marathon on Arena. Tonight in one episode Carrie described first dates as being too much like job interviews with martinis. That, in a nutshell, is my qualm. That atmosphere seems so forced and generally not ( Read more... )
