Fun Fun Friday!
Last Friday, I had a terrible day, which I recapped purely to get it off my chest.
This Friday, though, was great.
Firstly, there was no lunch in the fridge at work to be stolen.
Secondly, I was told that if everything was done by lunchtime, I could go home early. And I left at 1pm.
And thirdly, I [...]
Dude On Stall Harasses Sick Shopper
You know those people that set up a little stall in the middle of the shopping centre and lure people over? I hate them. I will try and avoid them at all costs. I’ve even been known to walk around the outside of the centre to get to a certain shop instead of through the [...]

Well, I am, anyway!
My car is on the road! Woohoo! Sweet, sweet independence!
It’s still blue, but that will change on the weekend. At this point, I don’t care that the paintwork is crap… I’m just glad it’s driveable.
You don’t want to know how much I paid the mechanic. Mind you, he’s an honest guy and [...]
Sickness confirmed
After a weekend of not being able to get out of bed (bar Dad’s birthday lunch), I figured I should call in sick and drag myself down to the doctors.
It’s confirmed, folks. The “Sinus Infection From Hell” has returned. Or maybe it never fully cleared up last time? Don’t know. But it’s painful. Also, not [...]
F$*# Me, It’s Friday!
One of the girls at work wore a singlet with that phrase emblazoned across it last Friday. Obviously she had another shirt over the top of it, but it tickled my fancy.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so relieved to see a Friday night roll around. To quote Comic Book Guy and put my own [...]
The Hardest Week
I’ve dropped off the face of the earth this past week, both from blogging, and in reality, to some extent. This week has been hard, trying, and incredibly painful, all rolled into one.
You see, on Tuesday night, I had to say goodbye to my best friend:
Snuggles
July 30, 1991 – May 13, 2008
Snuggles really was my [...]
Thirsty Merc! Live! Thirsty Frickin’ Merc!!!
Just came back from seeing Thirsty Merc live.
Two words: FUCKING AWESOME!
You know how some bands sound crap live? Not these guys! I’m so buzzed… that might have something to do with the alcohol consumed also…
We walked out with a t-shirt each, a bumper sticker each – “My other car’s a Thirsty Merc” heh – and [...]
Flown the coup!
One hour ago, I signed a heap of paperwork, handed over a set of keys, and watched my first car drive away with a stranger at the wheel.
I wasn’t as sad as I thought I’d be about selling it. I’d had it two years, and it had fluctuated wildly between relatively reliable and bonfire material. I [...]
Why I don’t do domestic.
Being a long weekend this weekend, and having today off, I decided to act a little housewifey (ick) and do some washing, since we had a basket full.
Mum’s washing machine could be operated by a toddler, it’s that easy to use. You plug it in, chuck the clothes in, mix a little liquid detergent with water, [...]
Car is sold!
My car sold today. This Irish guy, who’s been stuffing us around, finally said he’ll take it. He gave me a deposit and we’ll get the rest on Tuesday, when Matt gets the safety certificate. And then it’s gone. My first car – gone!
I don’t know whether to be happy it’s sold, because it was [...]
