Yes that's right I have nearly managed an entire year between posts! But I'm bored and avoiding cleaning my house so thought I'd update finally. Sooo what's happening at the moment aside from procrastination ( Read more... )

Well this morning I did something I may never live down ( Read more... )

Today has been a day of TOO MUCH FOOOOD! One of the guys in my team is moving to Melbourne so we had planned lunch at my fave Japanese restaurant Matsuri. Knowing this I decided to skip breakfast as the Teriyaki set I always get is pretty filling since it comes with miso, rice, salad and weird bean sprouts. And then at 10am Pris (the guy leaving) ( Read more... )

Yes the weekend was good and the highlight of course being the annual sacrificial burning of the tongue also known as the Chilli Festival. I managed to restrain myself this year and only bought a massive jar of chilli & garlic olives for myself and a couple of chilli beers for my mother (this was at her request...because...EW). There were of course ( Read more... )

Yup, since I joined a few short days ago I have mailed 18 books and am (hopefully) mooching 12 thus far. Oh and I still have around 38 points to spend on future mooches. Woot! I just trolled through all the Janet Evanovich books available and think I've picked up all the ones I didn't have Today was a bit of a write off really since for some reason ( Read more... )

As the other two watched I ( Read more... )

I feel a bit like Santa Claus even though I get something back too ;) So far I'm basically replacing books I've lost over time. I'm most excited about having Imzadi in hardcover sent to me (my ( Read more... )

Well it's the Monday of a long weekend and I officially started my Star Trek Next Gen marathon by suffering through "Encounter at Farpoint". Yeesh. And yes it was as cringe-worthy as I remember unfortunately! I think the only person who managed a decent character performance was John Delancy but I'm going to put that down to dodgy script and ( Read more... )

Just spent a lovely day procrastinating about sorting my house for the NYE party - instead spent the afternoon at the pool swimming and veging...in the shade...'cause I burn like a beeyatch ;). I'm told I currently have some "colour" (i.e. a slightly darker shade of neon white). I find this amusing. The people watching was entertaining, best pick ( Read more... )

Well the cyclone behaved itself and scooted back out to sea so I was able to fly back home today...still not convinced that was a good thing though ( Read more... )
