I spoke too soon! A fuel pump went in Dad’s car, so I mightn’t get the money to go to Supanova after all. Aughhh!

And to top it off, my aunt is coming down from Newcastle on Saturday to see Mum. Normally I don’t mind visits from the rellies, but since Mum got really sick, it seems that I can’t do anything right in their eyes. Apparently if I have ( Read more... )

I finally get the okay for the $200 from Dad so I can go to Supanova. The problem: I can only go one day, on the Sunday. The reason: my nephew has to run at Nowra on Saturday, and my sister has decided to go along, probably to take photos.

Now normally she doesn’t go along when Tim runs, but the one day when it does matter to me that I can go out ( Read more... )

I have a question:

Why is it called “monkey sex”?

I mean, seriously. I’ve come across the term in a number of fics (and I think I’ve even used it myself) but I have no idea where the term came from.

And I don’t know why I’m stuck on that now…

Here’s hoping I can make the cut work for my meme this time.

I’ll say it again: Me bad person who hasn’t even checked LJ for ages! I have really got to learn not to do that. And yes, I know, I’ve said that before.

I’ve been trying to stabilise my life and get it into some sort of routine as now I’m an ‘assistant carer’ for my mother (and those are my sister’s words, not mine). I’m cooking dinner every night ( Read more... )

Me bad person who hasn’t even checked LJ for ages! I have really got to learn not to do that. And yes, I know, I’ve said that before.

But I’ve been wondering. Having seen two later episodes of a TV show (say The West Wing), will that make me predisposed to shipping for a couple when watching the series from the beginning-in this case Josh/Donna. ( Read more... )

I have been without a TV for three weeks! It was still under warrantee when it went on the fritz, but because my uncle was here at the time, it was only yesterday that it was taken to the repairman. I have been watching A Country Practice re-runs on ( Read more... )

Just a quick entry to say Happy Birthday world_of_blade !

You know, I really think that if I had watched The Sixth Sense *before* I found out the twist at the end, I would have found the movie more creepy. Don’t get me wrong, I found it interesting and even compelling; but because I knew what the twist was, there was no mystery to it. Not fair!

I was watching ‘Unending’ again last night, this time with the commentary (after watching that scene a few times). And Amanda Tapping said something about the episode that I had not noticed. I’ll put the rest under a cut so I don’t spoil anyone who hasn’t seen it.

Amanda said that during the montage sequences she and Chris Judge tried to insert some ( Read more... )
