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.

Determined Like Crazy

To be fair I haven't been buying TONNES of things but I've been buying myself little gifts fairly steadily and keep thinking 'yes, this week, no buying things, this week is for savings!' and then I buy a bunch of Stargate Atlantis instead.
The hard-drive I need, my old one is possessed and about to die.

Checking Out

Yep. I straight up closed my eyes and waited for it to be over.
It wasn't an *important* meeting.
It was everyone else having the usual 'our contract is up for renewal' panic about whether our contract will be renewed or not.
Either it will be or it won't be. Asking the same questions you ask every time won't change that.

The Dynamics Of A Workplace Walk

'Come for a walk' they said, so my girl and I brought the business.
They brought the blah blah.
Tsh. No commitment whatsoever.

Baked Goods Are The Way To My Heart.

Well, not the ONLY way to my heart but it's a pretty safe bet.

Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeead Top!

Other Kinds Of Things: To Watch Scary Movies With

Hey, you there, if you aren't busy at the moment... could you come over here and sniff me?
Where are you going!?
I HAD A REASON TO ASK!
MAYBE I COULD HAVE PHRASED IT BETTER!

But seriously this lip gloss smells amazing. Lovely peppermint oil.

With The Best Of Intentions

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Fine Fine Fine Nope!

I am a super wuss and I know that Fringe is far from the scariest show around but some moments... yeesh!
