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.
