Relaxing Arvo

A lovely way to spend some time, with a delicious result.

Poor Process

Yep, apparently eating too much rich food on a 40 °C day is a one-way ticket to throwing it all up again in the pub car park :-/

What a waste of some really tasty food.

Subterfuge

After I'm gone she can find out and spend the rest of the year telling everyone how I'm going to die, I don't care, I just don't want to be there while she's explaining it.

Perception

No wonder everyone thinks I have a hundred cats.
The dang things shed so much that I remove enough hair to build a life-size Wampa figure before I leave the house and I still have a fine dusting of hair on me :-/

Taking Care Of Business

Little boring tasks I need to get out of the way before I go away.

Good lord do these cats produce a lot of hair. So much freaking hair!

Hardasses

Sorry, America!
If it makes you feel any better we cured all four diseases, saved the world and I'm sure we came back to mop up and offer assistance afterwards*!

Pandemic is fun ^_^


*In the part of the game you don't get to play where you finish fixing stuff after you've won.

Gear And Goop

That thing I may have accidentally drawn to resemble an Eskimo Pie is supposed to be my Dad's wallet.
We spent a fair chunk of cash but I think we're just about good to go now.

Mummas, you imitate your babies as they eat and it is the most a-god-damn-dorable thing ever :-D

Fare Thee Well, Sweet Orthodontist

I kind of miss my braces in an odd way, I liked poking at them with my tongue when I was bored.
As you may be able to tell from this fact, I'm pretty easily amused.

Now I don't have to go back to the orthodontist until my retainer carks it or unless the permanent wire on the back of my bottom teeth cuts loose and starts threatening to stab my mouth up.

Oh, those dealies I've got there holding my mouth open? Plastic retractors that hold your cheeks back so they can see all of your teeth at once.
They make you look frigging ridiculous :-D

It's WHAT Day?!

WHERE THE HELL DID THE REST OF THE YEAR GO!?
HOW IS IT THIS LATE IN NOVEMBER ALREADY!?
HOW IS IT NOVEMBER AT ALL!?

Medicinal

I don't know if it's the texture, the flavour or the knowledge that spraying it out of your mouth and/or nose would be an expensive and annoying bad call but anything that comes from the pharmacy in sachets always has to be chugged down and then held there.

Why Would You Tell Me That?

It seems that telling people you're going to Nepal is like telling people you're pregnant or you're having your wisdom teeth out.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveryone wants to tell you their friend-of-a-friend horror stories.

Coming Down

The thing bottom right in the pouting panel is supposed to be delicious hot chips. They are surprisingly hard to draw. Well, surprisingly hard for me to draw...

Busy Day

Yep, we took a lot of really dorky photos with those dinosaur statues.
And we don't regret a single one.

Cruisy Day

Exclamation marks!

Things We Learned On The Road Trip

Time to spend three days at Apollo Bay with two of my favourite ladies ^_^

Those chairs were ridiculous. You sat down, thought you'd reached ground zero, let your leg muscles relax and then fell back about another 20 centimetres!

Cabin In The Woods

Love this movie.
So very much.

Carried Away

I might have gotten just a liiiiiiiiiittle bit excited about my weekend away with the girls and started packing Jenna Marbles style.
I think I've got it under control now.

For the record, this is packing Jenna Marbles style.

Shooter

Bad Casey Jones*!


*A.K.A actor Elias Koteas.

'Tis The Season

It just isn't.

Danger Zone!

Don't worry, folks, myself, my crotch and the spider came through the ordeal unscathed.
The dance I did would have seemed pretty hilarious to an observer though.

Full Day

After reading through my brother's insane engineering project, all the experiments and research they had to do, I am so very glad I did a Bachelor of Arts. Engineering is crazy involved.

The theme of the party was 'worst op shop* outfit you can buy' and most of the guys took the opportunity to cross to the other side of the closet.
Dude on the left: volleyball outfit, that is essentially a cheerleader's tunic, and a pirate hat.
Dude in the middle: ladies frock coat, ladies pyjama pants, a fetching scarf.
Dude on the right: rocking the kaftan as he deep-fries that bacon.

It reconfirmed my theory that dudes in skirts is pretty much the cutest thing.

*Op shop = charity/thrift store.

What Are You Implying?

It's the way they say it, as if I've got 20 cats.
It's never just 'cats', it's always something like 'all your cats'.
Or I'll say 'I've only got two' and they'll say 'for now...'.

>:-/

Bloody Allergies

I have no idea what set me off but the pollen fairy must have wafted in my window last night while I was sleeping and sprinkled a handful of God knows what on my eye because I woke up looking like Quasimodo.

Refresh Refresh Refresh!

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!
Now I can relax!
Until the Australian election, where we may very possibly be screwed.

Here's the panel I would have run if Romney had won.

Stray Hair

And a gentle drift of cat hairs are shaken loose and drift down to the ground...

Gents, I'm still single, any takers?

 

Ah well.

Car

All my big car bills come due at the same time every November so there are a couple of weeks of no indulgences and juggling finances.

For non-Aussies, 'rego' is short for 'registration', I'm not sure if anyone outside of AUS/NZ uses that abbreviation.

Beautiful Day

Well done, dumb dumb, first sunburn of the season.

The Manchurian Candidate

I don't know if the rumour is true but it would be intriguing if it were.

Bad Dog!

He'd gotten a hold of a cat and dragged it out by its scruff!
Usually we see cats before he does and can contain him as he has a little bounce of excitement and then loses interest.
This time the cat was obviously having a nap under a shrub so we didn't see the cat and the cat didn't notice him before he noticed it.

He only had hold of it for a few seconds, long enough for it to carve a few complaints in his muzzle and for us to have synchronised heart attacks, before he dropped it and it shot across the road and up a tree to watch us with suspicion and a lashing tail.

None of the scratches are too serious and the vet has just told us to keep an eye on them to see if they look like they're getting infected but that odds are he should be fine.
The bastard.

Guess who is getting a halti so he can't pull that stunt again?

Shoo Roo

Shoo Roo are essentially little whistles that you stick to the front of your car that make an annoying high pitched noise that should ward off any wildlife that may be thinking of bouncing your way.

I have no idea if they've been proved to work but I'll willing to give them a chance.
