i’ve moved

to here. come visit me.

hugging it out

last night i caught up with Tif. i was abit worried she was going to be peed at me, for more than picking my toenails on her couch, but we hugged it out. we’ve known each other for over ten years and there are certainly times when i think we’ve grown wide apart. it’s good to know we can still think the same about certain things and i can be totally honest with her. and for the record she is a very funny girl.

today dan and i went to THE fab booksale and increased our library. no doubt i will go back again over the next few days. we also went to the movies. in the last few weeks we have seen:
The Simpson’s Movie – yes funny, but not hilarious.
Die Hard 4 – i actually enjoyed this, as unrealistic as it is of course.
Shut Up and Sing – interesting, though slow until the last third.

My tv indulgence of late has been Big Love. I LOVE this show. S1 has just finished here and I hope they show S2 very soon. It is well acted, well directed, well cast, interesting, funny, intense. of course i could never see myself as a polygamist but there could be benefits in having two (or more!) husbands

people can be so disappointing

because i expect too much. demand too much. dislike not getting my own way….

yes it is ALL to do with me. why even have expectations in the first place.

as fergie would say:
it’s personal, myself and i
we’ve got some straightenin’ out to do

JBT

i have always been somewhat of a fan of the John Butler Trio but my love has now been cemented. i am in total lust and awe of their lastest album Grand National. it is the first time for a long time that i have appreciated an album for both music and lyrics in such a way. my current fave tracks are Better Than, Good Excuse and Used To Get High. such a shame i got in abit too late to get tics to their upcoming shows.

stuff

Wowee. Second day at new job. So much to learn and comprehend. Tiring and exhausting but also interesting and fantastic to get my mind working again. I have 8 classes to give over two days in a few weeks and I am not even nervous (yet).  Such a beautiful campus to be working at too and the staff have been very welcoming. I would like more sleep though.

Dan is in Jakarta this week. I am demanding he be home for at least 2 months this time…

Dad had his operation yesterday – mum and I went to visit him. I really really dislike hospitals. Apparently not all of the cancer/lump(?) could be removed with laser so he has to go back in a month for another go. He may also end up needing to have radiation if it is still not completely removed.

Oliver refuses to send me email. He is so self-centred.

I dislike my dentist. I am supposed to see him next week but am going to try to see him earlier. If he doesn’t impress me I am going to unleash the rage.

hey it was a good way to play with toondoo

hippo jessica

my friend kay sent me this link to hippo jessica. amazing.

i remember when i was in africa canoeing down a river, the zambezi i think, and i was terrified of the hippos all around me, knowing they were supposedly the biggest killers of humans there. but oh my goodness the baby hippos sitting on the backs of the adults, bobbing up and down in the water, were so cute.

i did it

i used the electric toothbrush!

i also have the itinerary for my first day at new job. exciting!!

i am also pondering where i want our next overseas holiday to be!!!

bye bye bloglines

it was fun while it lasted

more of that feeling

a few days ago my dad was diagnosed with throat cancer. he will be having surgery on the day that i start my new job. now we are not the closest father/daughter there ever was. i hope he comes through it okay.
