Oh Hey There, Addiction

I am weak weak weak weak and will have to start dealing with this soon because it's getting a wee bit ridiculous.

Them's The Breaks

Dogs smell like arse.
Wash dogs.
Dogs smell like sunshine and oats.
I smell like arse.
Wash me.
I smell like perfumed arse. At least for a few hours.
The universe is unkind.

How To Tell The Season Is Turning

Yo, Lannisters and Starks and whoever else, winter is coming.
You know how I know? My bra is FREEZING in the morning!

Light Bends Time

And then she sat on her ass for like seven hours doing nothing because 'it'll be bed time soon'.

The Appropriate Motivation - A Stargate Atlantis Watching Adventure

F@#king Genii.

An Abundance Of Cake

Yeah, I'm pretty relaxed about lunch time.
Weirds the people in the office out a bit but what are you going to do?

Celebrating Right

People may have also tried to talk to me but seriously you guys, shut up and eat.

Requirements Unfulfilled

Because being able to kick ass and take names would be amazing but- oh hey, when was that library book due back?

Population Boom

a) There were a LOT of motherhugging kangaroos out today
b) I get the weirdest memories attached to these comics depending on what was happening when I was drawing them. This one means that I will never be able to watch Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine be handsome together on Star Trek without thinking of dozens of tiny kangaroos.

Analysing... Analysing...

I think a lot of people freak out when they hit 30.
I know I spent the last few months thinking of stuff I probably should have achieved before I turned 30 but then when I woke up on my birthday I went 'oh well, too late now!' and figured they're either important enough to keep trying for or weren't that important in the first place.

Go Team

Badminton is friggin' hilarious!
Especially when you remember enough of tennis lessons as a child to look like you know what you're doing 70% of the time and then flub up the other 30%.
Including the one time I slid under the net on my back.
Don't ask me, I have no idea how that happened.

Busy Monday

He liked my friend. He was her favourite. She was a little worried.
Also this is my second 'don't think it's a date' and guys? I don't think it's a date, I think I just have a new friend :-)

Driving home I found a tow truck blocking the road. It had pulled a crashed car out of the scrub and the car had brought an entire perimeter fence with it.
The tow truck fella had to work the fence loose and pull it off the road but he was pretty quick about it and I wasn't waiting long.
The car was pretty messed up.

Flip Flop

Look, I love prosciutto. I *love* prosciutto! But I've been making that dish for years and it doesn't have prosciutto in it and I was just not in the mood for- NO SUBSTITUTIONS! NO ADDITIONS!

Happy Place

I know it sounds weird but trust me, it's delicious.

And Deadliest Warrior is insane! And this episode had Max Brooks and Steve Niles as guest experts :-D

Friday Productivity Levels Are...

... low.
To say the least.

Walk Thoughts

I don't know if my brain is more flighty when I'm out walking or if I just notice it more because there's nothing else going on to distract me from all the... distractions...

Wear And Tear

Round about then he asked me to stop telling him what I'd done to my old computer.
To be fair I've had it for about four or five years so it's had time to develop these problems...

Putting A Cork In It

She sings a constant, muffled song of 'Look at me! See what I can do!' around the mouthful of cork the whole time she has hold of it.
Then she brings it over, drops it, and just stares at me.
Uh, good job, sweetie? Awesome cork carrying skills.

Maple Syrup, You Sultry Bitch

You always talk me into the worst ideas.

Always With Me

Sewing projects always take me longer than anyone else because I am so worried about cutting something out wrong and wasting/effing up good material.
And yes there is a little device that looks like a pizza cutter for cutting material. It is hella sharp.

The Ups And Downs

According to my aunt I have to just get used to it and eventually I won't give a shit about stabbing myself up.
Uh, those weren't her exact words but that was pretty much the sentiment.

Appropriate Preparation

Watching an attractive man kicking the shit out of people is the perfect way to settle into a weekend of crafty stuff.
I bet Aaron Cross is badass at crochet.

Stargate Atlantis

What do you MEAN I can't keep all four?
I promise to feed them and walk them and... wash them...

There's stuff I don't remember, episodes I missed and at least one season that I didn't get to see so this is going to be interesting.
Avoiding spoilers for a show years after it's been aired is either extra easy or very tricky.

Because I Am Twelve

For anyone who doesn't know, Horlicks is a malt powder you mix into hot milk for a tasty drink. That you can then giggle at. Because Horlicks.

Tee hee pfft.

Riots Not Diets

The way some of my co-workers talk about food is enough to drive me to actual physical violence.
Here's the secret to eating for a healthy life: when you treat yourself make it good quality and just enjoy it on every single f@#king level when you're eating it.
Then the indulgence will a) satisfy you and b) feel worthwhile.
Then you can go back to eating fresh fruit and veg and regular serves of meat and dairy and grain-based foods and enjoy those too.
Jesus.

The title 'riots not diets' came from the reaction of my comrade in arms at work who also had to rein in the rage at this conversation.

Everything In Moderation

I was so wonderfully full after the delicious roast but then... tiny pies...
My stomach rupturing later in the evening was nobody's fault but my own and I regret nothing.

Self-Control Negligible

Every long weekend!
And most regular weekends...

Movie Blues

When I say blue I don't mean 'sexually deviant', I mean the colour palette or filters or whatever they used for the movie. There were a lot of blue tones.
The writing was pretty weak but I still sniggered most of the time Guy Pearce was a wise-ass because I'm easy like that. Easy for sass.

Portal 2

The results of my scientific double-blind study show that dogs are just as obsessed by freshly dyed hair as cats are.
Due to the dog's greater size it wasn't actually able to roll about on my head in glee the way the cats are wont to do but it did spend a good hour trying to inhale all of my hair.

I am still not sure if this was supposed to be a date or not. I'm not going to fuss about it and will just assume we're mates unless evidence to the contrary arises.
Portal 2 is fucking awesome though so totally worth it.

Professional Jerk

That story was goddawful but sometimes you just can't bring yourself to make shitty small talk in a public venue with the people you need to make shitty small talk with at work.

Die Hard 4.0

I mean yeah the explosions were pretty cool but it's still not a spot on the original Die Hard.
That movie had some A-Grade sass.

Bonus: Here is a glorious song about Die Hard that will get jammed inside your brain :-D

The Curse Of The Editor

Tsh, it was getting all hot and heavy and then they used 'effect' instead of 'affect' and if that hadn't killed the mood, ugh that grocer's apostrophe would have!

The Dumbest Of Dumbos

DAMMIT BRAIN, I THOUGHT WE'D GOTTEN OVER THIS PARTICULAR F@#K UP YEARS AGO!
Luckily when I turned up at lunch time, everyone at work thought this story was hilarious, including my boss.

Sacrifice and Citrus

It's OK, I didn't get any blood in the cake.
It just hurt like hell.

Ambiguity

I am hopeless.
We were chatting away at the St Patrick's Day thing in a 'yay, you like the things that I like, let us fangirl about them' happy fashion and later on my friends asked me if I'd picked up.
I. Don't. Know.
It will be awkward if I did because I'm not actually looking for lady dates.

Auntie Time

Babies give you an altered perception of time.
8 months in 'you' time = not that long.
8 months in 'baby' time = can almost walk.

Mind Your Manners

The odds aren't high but travelling to a place that operates on its own rules and can tell the rest of the world to go to hell does inspire background levels of paranoia.

The Difference

Everybody hates 'bee tee dubs' and it is friggin' hilarious.
Because I'm an ass.

Closest Of Calls

Poor sweet external hard-drive, you hung in there like a champ.

Healthy Living

Yep, no holes in this plan.

St Patrick's Day

Yep, those novelty St Patrick's Day hats are big enough to pull over your entire head.
Just FYI.

Betrayal

Stupid Nav-whatsis.
It hasn't recognised a key section of new highway for years because the updates won't work and now this?
Sorry, buddy, you're out.
Nobody takes me to Deliverance country and stays in my good books.

Ramifications

I think my neck may take out a restraining order against me and I can't say that I blame it.

Opeth!

Opeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeth!
And the pizza wasn't bad either!

Slowly Goes

The old hard-drive keeps disconnecting and reconnecting itself and the last few times I've plugged it in it has been a bit hit and miss as to whether it will work at all.
So I've got it hooked up and I am not touching the computer AT ALL until all my files are safely off this sinking ship :-/

No 'Might' About It

Yep, pushing it on a hot day in direct sunlight was not the brainiest of plans.

The Formula

I have a big flashing neon sign over my head that says 'Kids, I am a doormat, do as you will' and this either means I end up playing Ninja Pirates of Skeleton Cove for hours at family gatherings or I am clambered on like a climbing frame.
Sometimes it's one and then the other.

Stitches

It's an incredibly dorky movie but lots of fun and hey, evil Ross Noble :-D
And yes, we are the wussiest of wusses.

Flecks Of It Everywhere

I got paint speckles on my bra. I have no idea how.

Gal With A Plan

Eh, food can wait.
