I love thunderstorms

Although just thunder by itself can be a little freaky.

Watched some Ghost in the Shell. Drank coffee. A bit weak - I think it must've missed the beans during the grinding process, as the container was rather low.

Did about half an hour of pruning. No thin branches (within reach) now.

Ridiculously insane weather. Seriously!

Watched more Ghost in the Shell.

Went to Mogli's.
Watched footy.
At half time, went and got KFC for lunch.
Eagles lost? Shocking!

Had takeaway pizza for dinner at 13's house, with LH and Ling.
Watched Perfect Stranger. Barely OK.
Watched a bit of The Cup. But not much.
Drove home through floods from the latest burst of pouring rain. Torrential, more like.

I love biscuits

Namely, today, lemon crisp and ginger nuts. Yay! Nothing fancy; just simple, wholesome, honest food. Well, its not wholesome or honest....

Made coffee. However, it seems that the milk expired on the 22nd. So when I poured out the remained that was cold, there was this big solidish lump of gunk. Lovely.

Left later and took the new route; albeit the slower but safer (as in less likely to get lost) version. And I still got to work by 8:15. So I guess it really is an improvement, after all.

Pretty much nothing on in the morning.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Went to Strathfield. Exchanged my bad remote of a new one. Strangely, it looks rather quite different. I'm worried....

Went to Mogli's dad's place. Hopefully for the last time with this external lady.

Drinks. Could've been worser.

Did some more pruning, but it was very uneasy to see, what with all the dark cloudyness.

Watched Friends.

Went to McDonalds. Got the McEurope burger, plus food for 13.
It was quite expensive, and it had too much cheese and not enough sauce. Plus, as it goes without saying, it wasn't very big.

Cell.

Watched Ghost in the Shell episode 6.

Prepared some more hooks to hang my last 3 pictures.

Slept about 11:30.

Thursday, May 29, 2008

I love coffee

Took another different route. Got lost and had to turn left on Canning Highway, then like come back and stuff.

Went down to the city client. Didn't tell Mogli about it; heh.
Got coffee from Mill Street Cafe. Good ol' Coffex, eh? Yeah.
Ended up leaving all my coinage there. Like $2.95. Bah! I should've bought a bear, cos at least it would've made me realise I didn't have my coins, and I could've had a bear instead of nuttin.

Got back and a certain Tomato had obviously concluded that I was meeting Mogli for lunch again (cos it was 1:15) so he was using my sandwich maker. And casually mentioned such as I passed him in the hall. Grrrr!
Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Read book. So much book. I finished another chapter. So only like 3 or 4 to go. More than 3/4 through now, I think. He just finished the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Went to Mogli's dad's place. Its such fun, really.

Was feeling really tired in the afternoon. Something about the warm yet overcast type weather, I think.

Went straight to Southlands. Got haircut at Esquire; doesn't that sound like so prestigious? They had a TV playing Deal or No Deal. Yes; it was not prestigious. But, hey, I don't need prestigious type hair. Got one of those in Sydney....

Back home, I discovered odd problems with my new DVD player remote; like how the skip forward button opens the player, and the skip backwards button turns the power off, and the zoom button does the enter buttons function, and the enter button does the up buttons function, and the up button does the down buttons function, etc.

Leo came about 7:45. Had a quick tour then went to Taurus. It was...full (y'know, for something new), so went to Asian Cuisine. There was one table, and while we were waiting to order some lady came in and claimed it. So we sat on the takeaway waiting seats and then after a long time a table left. So we sat there. Then another table left. So we sat there instead, cos it was less messy. Leo entertained himself by reading Dolly. He thinks hes cool now.
Had beef kway teow, of course. Should've got something else; but I donno what. I wanted Bullcreek Hawker 3 meat rice.

Went back. Tried watching some DVDs; it wasn't easy with the weird remote.
Leo left about 10:45.

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

I love Optus

I also love being fickle.

Left slightly earlier than usual. Tried some new way. Eh....

Went to Mogli's dad's place. Fun!

Finally got call for an interview; but for next Friday!

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Got petrol.
Started pouring pouring. Like, super pouring.
Went to Strathfield. Got cheap cheap DVD player. Same brand so as to go with my speakers.
Took the long way back to work.

Went back to Mogli's dad's place. Even more fun.

Walked back through the rain. But not too heavy. Dark and cold, but.

Went straight to Koorong. Took 40 minutes plus!
No Delirious CD! Or, maybe there was?

Met Leo.
Got Sparrow takeaway for dinner. OK lor.... Cos we ate there, so it was better.
Got college Coke. Cos its cheap!

Class.
Got coffee. My only one for the day. I'd been planning it, see.
More class.

Stuffed some pine branches into the bin. Took up basically the whole bin, cept for one bag of rubbish. And it seems there's still just as many pine branches left!

Got a letter from Optus saying they're giving me $14 credit because the service recently was sub-par. So that's nice.
As they say, CUSH - complain until something happens.

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

I love accidents

OK....change of attitude. Heheheh.

Training happened an hour late. And was mostly pointless. Ew....'team building'.....

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Did more shopping. Cos yes, I suddenly ran out of a lot more stuff yesterday.

A little work in the afternoon.

A crash in the far right lane on the very end of the narrows bridge basically freed up all the rest of the traffic. I got home in about 20 minutes! Yay!

Watched most of Friends.

Class.
Had tea. Goody.

Monday, May 26, 2008

I hate colds

Especially when they're not bad enough to skip work....

Almost forgot my tie.

Some work! But only till about 10:30.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Did shopping. Seem to have forgotten to get quite a bit of stuff.
Got coffee from Cafe Cafe. Not super.
Read some book.

Excitement city. As usual.

Did half an hour of hacking. Mainly with long secateurs, but then a bit of sawing. Seriously, I almost die like every time. And now my hands look like someones attempted suicide on them.

Watched Friends, then bits of Big Brother.

Had pasta bake, for a change. Unfortunately, I donno if it was cos I didn't have enough cheese or what, but I didn't really get that 'baked' feel. Maybe my oven really sucks?

Watched Red Dwarf.

Looked at Taurus. Closed Monday and Tuesday! Lazy....people.

Did about 15 minutes of WiiFit.

Watched BB Big Mouth.

Sunday, May 25, 2008

I hate technology

Finished watching Zulu. Barely.
The DVD player really is dying.

Played a bit of cricket with Leo, et al.

Watched 3 episodes of Ghost in the Shell.

Did a little more tree hacking. Sawing, mainly. Almost died. Why do I torture my body like this?

Applied for some job off Seek. Where oh where is my experience?

Watched The Simpsons, Big Brother then Rove. I really should write into Hughesy with a problem.

Saturday, May 24, 2008

I hate football

Watched the final episode of Sopranos season 5. I like to get the important things out of the way first, see.

Did half an hour of pine tree hacking.

13 & o came. Signed o's witness for driving. I have reason to believe there's something shady going on here.

Got the chicken roll combo from Chicken Treat for lunch. Like $8.
Went to Moglis house.
Watched some Foxtel, then football.

At half time, went to some liquor place, but then went to Target so he could buy Underbelly as a present. Guess he decided the guy has too much alcohol.
Went to Caltex to get coffee.

The Dockers lost? Shocking!

Left about 5.

Did more pine tree hacking.

Did a load of washing - non urgent stuff. I figured that if it dries or not it doesn't really matter. And there's a chance tomorrow might not be so wet.

Watched Bring it On. But I think that's enough times already.

Watched part of Zulu. I'm worried about my DVD player.

Did some ironing. The road goes ever on and on.

Friday, May 23, 2008

I hate umbrellas

Went to a funeral. Yay. Twas rather wet.

Went back and changed. Then went to work.

So, we have Vista now. Apparently; it looks more like Windows 95. Cept for Word & Excel 2007. Yeah, don't they like totally suck.

Had a short lunch. I mean, since I had missed the whole morning.

Went to Mogli's dad's place. Spent most of the rest of the afternoon there.

Did more 'pruning'.

Watched Friends.

Watched Sopranos season 5 episode 11.

Had cell.

Watched Sopranos season 5 episode 12. Just one more then I'm gonna have to decide on something else to watch.

Thursday, May 22, 2008

I hate work

Ah, it had to come sooner or later.

Got woken up by rain and stuff.

Did I mention that I hate work?

Had the biggest morning tea. Great. Well, scones are nice, I guess; but I'd rather have pumpkin ones.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Read book. About 2/3 through, now. Yay! Cos its getting very repetitive.

Did some work. Not cos I didn't have enough to do, I just couldn't be bothered really.

Stopped at 4:45 and read book, cos my computer was being terminated. To the server.

Took photos of house. Brought in garbage bins.

Continued with new snippers on pines, and then used the saw for a bit. The small one is almost gone.

Watched Friends.

Did the rest of mandarin lesson 1 and about half of lesson 2.

Began to prepare the mix for my seeds.

Read book.

Went back.
Met with SS lady.

Went to training. Funny funny fun fun.

Thus left late. Slow, slow traffic.

Watched Friends.

Went for class.

Put out rubbish. My life is so thrilling, really. Well, the surprising thing is both my recycle bin and green bin were full, after only 1 week! Cos I am trying to get rid of all my moving rubbish, basically.
Moving rubbish; what is this - Star Wars episode 4?

Watched part of The Tuxedo, but it was way too late.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

I hate walking

13 was sick, apparently, so got a late call to give o a lift to work. He made me coffee, at least. Although it did have sugar in it.

Had training; junior training - with coffee! But it was from Croissant Express this time, and tasted burnt.

Went to Mogli's dad's place. Excitement city!

At lunch, walked straight from there to the Commonwealth Bank ATM. Got money, surprisingly.
Went to Epic. Waited ages for my order, and it wasn't great.
Had toasted sandwiches.

Went back to Mogli's dad's place.
Met with the consultant lady.

Tried to sleep earlier. Didn't really work. I donno if it was the coffees or what, but I kept waking up all the time.

Monday, May 19, 2008

I hate blisters

Power woes....
I changed my heater/fan onto its own powerboard, but I came home and the power seemed to have gone off anyway - it may have been a standard blackout thing, donno. Anyway, so I threw the old powerboard out (which was a six) and instead are using two (which are both fours). Good enough, I guess.

Changed the bandaid. Its still rather hurty.

Sent one of four spare doorkeys to my parents.

No network - what a shock! Read book for 40 mins, which was nice.

Some work. Almost enough till lunch.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Went shopping. Bought long life milk, creme brule chocolate (of the Cadbury desserts range; tiramisu and fudge brownie sucked so I donno why I'm even trying this), seed raising mix (in a solid block), fly spray (I hope its strong enough), ant sand and tea (traditional afternoon - just for something a little different. I didn't want to buy my usual huge box of Irish Breakfast as I still want to try this 'tips' thing what WH suggested).

Got petrol.

Got email from new job ppl. Actually, it wasn't from them, really. Just for updatingness sake.

On the way home, tried to find the tea from the local IGA on Apsley. Nope!

No mail! Just thought I'd mention that. Cos I get lots of junk mail.

Did more pine 'pruning'. Took photos, but it was quite dark so they were quite blur.

Watched Friends.

Did all but 5 minutes of Mandarin I lesson 1. While eating dinner; the first at my table. I feel so cultured!

Spoke to Mogli. Um...

Watched Red Dwarf. Nyeh.

Did about 20 minutes of yoga and muscle stuff on WiiFit.

Watched BB Big Mouth.

Sunday, May 18, 2008

I hate nature

Used my heater for the first time in a very long time. And...it tripped the powerboard and thus ruined my alarm. So I had to cautiously lie in bed alert from about 7.

Church.
Did counting.

Parents came at a bit after 12 (and they said 12, but I was expecting them at 11:30). They brought my blue couch and curtains and some various crockery and stuff.
Had lunch, which my mum bought on the way.
Then they went to watch football. Great.

Started 'pruning' the pine trees. Stopped when I discovered a large blister which had already 80% peeled and required a bandaid.

Watched more Sopranos.

Hung some pictures. I have a blue corner! Yay!

Did more tree pruning; mainly using my left hand now. Pain, pain, pain.

Watched The Simpsons.

Did about 20 minutes of WiiFit.

Watched part of Big Brother and the eviction show. Watched Rove, which was pretty alright. Then watched part of Flight of the Conchords. Stopped, because it sucked.

Saturday, May 17, 2008

I hate ironing

Finished watching Sin City.

Did washing.

Watched more Sopranos season 5.

Did ironing.

Unpacked the final boxes, but most of the stuff I crammed onto the table. Its all this decorative kitchen type stuff from my grandma - I don't have like a proper glass cabinet to display it.

Watched Man with Golden Arm, starring Frank Sinatra. A quite irritating show, mainly cos it didn't really go anywhere. And, no, there wasn't any singing.

Watched part of Air Force One. I guess I forgot how crap it is.

Watched most of Cast Away. Yeah, that ending is so sad. Which is why I stopped it about then.

Friday, May 16, 2008

I hate exercise

Casual day.

Recharged my mobile phone with credit. I so have way too much.

Went to Mogli's dad's place.
Had a jam donut. That was nice.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Read book.

Drinks. Discussed the end of financial year (sort of) event. Not going in a good direction.

Watched Friends.

Started watching Sin City.

Went to cell.
Had coffee after.
13 gave me some card for some job. Interesting.

Did about half an hour of WiiFit, but mainly muscle and yoga.

Slept about 1.

Thursday, May 15, 2008

I hate people that use my stuff

Made coffee.

Went down to city client.

Met Mogli for lunch. Went to Takas and had chicken katsu. Saw Nam.

Came back and my sandwich maker was out, so someone had used it without asking; I guess a bit hard cos I wasn't there. So I waited for someone to come and put it away, or at least own up - nobody did!

Another slow and boring afternoon.

Phone...working! Internet! Yay!

Watched Friends.

Did WiiFit for half an hour.

Watched SVU.

Watched Trinny and Susannah. It was most unhelpful. Hmph.

Wednesday, May 14, 2008

I hate Optus

Gave o a lift to work. Too early, I think.

Some work....

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Got call re: my home phone which is supposed to be connected today. It was just some guy saying it should be OK. Well, great.
Got coffee from Caffissimo.
Read lots of book. Well, quite, anyway.

Almost fell asleep in the afternoon.

After work, got another call after work about the phone. I have to say, it doesn't sound good.

Gave o a lift home.

Went straight to Hungry Jacks and got the BLT meal. Then went to the BP next door and got petrol. Unfortunately, at the Caltex nearby, which was a lot cheaper, there was like a 4 car (for each of the 4 lines) waiting line.

Got home and the phone was not working! Grrrr!

Went for class.

Watched the rest of Indiana Jones and Last Crusade. Best of the series by far.
Thus slept rather late.

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

I hate training

Got woken up at 4. Didn't hear any rain, though apparently there was some.

Gave o a lift. Slow. Got to work just at 8:30.

Training. Guess how I feel about that.

Some work.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Walked...in the rain. Although I did have an umbrella; which sucked.
Saw (and had a conversation with) XW&. That really made my day, that did.
Got cologne. Mmmm....smelly!
Had Epic, which, because of the umbrella and the cologne, was insanely irritating to carry. Actually, I didn't drink much of it before it went cold.
Read a tiny bit of book - like a page.

More work. Fun.

Gave o a lift home.

Watched most of friends.

Class.
Had chips, as in the salt and vinegar hard not hot kind. Plus some weird chicken flavoured rice cracker things.
And the tea. Ah, the tea.

Rang Mogli. Yeah, he was tired.

Monday, May 12, 2008

I hate traffic

Left a bit late. I do too much PC stuff in the morning now, I guess...

Posted my change of address form for ODB.

Slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow morning.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Did shopping. Mainly inedible type stuff. Another above average bill, which means a super above average bill for this week - two in three days!

Yawn!

Gave o a lift home.

Watched Friends, Big Brother and Red Dwarf.

'Played' 30 minutes of WiiFit. I am so ready to die. Seriously.

Almost as soon as I finished, my TV switched back to ABC2 and I saw a review of WiiFit on some games review program. Great!

Watched BB Big Mouth. So much for the Prime Minister's opinion.....what a load of nonsense that was!

Sunday, May 11, 2008

I hate cricket

Got up about 7:30. Guess I still subconsciously think its last Sunday.

Left about 9. Probably a good thing, cos I missed the turn the first time.

Great. Bigness. Odd, really.
Did counting after. Felt like a lot....

Did washing. The 1st load was ALMOST dry.

Watched more of Sopranos season 5. Did more ironing.

Rang mother. Tis the day to care.

Played cricket. Why does it only hurt after? Aaaargh!

13 & o & various others came over to look at the house. Did some WiiFit stuff, as they're all thinking about buying one.

Got HJs for dinner. The usual.... ahahahah! Seriously, its great.

Went to 13 & os house. Nam was there also. There was too much steak, so I had to have more dinner.
Played some more Wii.

Slept about 10:30. Actually, I thought it was 11:30. Bonus!

Saturday, May 10, 2008

I hate Saturday TV

Played WiiFit for half an hour. Wow, I'm so disciplined!

Watched lots of Sopranos season 5.

Unpacked most of my books and DVDs. The DVDs barely fit in one bookcase, and the books easily fit numbers wise but some didn't fit well size wise.

Did shopping; bought aftershave balm, but nothing else exciting. Although it was more expensive than normal. Then went to Priceline again; but managed to find cotton pads this time.

Watched more Sopranos. Did some ironing.

Played a bit more Wii.

Watched Naked Gun 33 1/3. Once again, not as good as I remember (from only like last year or something). Maybe its cos at the time I was talking to Leo on the phone, which lasted like over an hour. Well, there wasn't much talking, really. Cos I was trying to watch the movie!

Friday, May 09, 2008

I hate themes

Yes, its the beginning of a new era. Try and guess which one - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Got coffee from Caffissimo. I don't know why I don't make my own at home and leave later...guess its the kind soul in me that wishes to support local business. Or I'm lazy.

Not much work. Shock!

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Went to Subi. Got contact lenses and solution.
Then went to the chemist. Looked around but didn't find anything, so just got some like $25 hair stuff. Groovy.

Had drinks. Whoops! Tomato's fault, apparently.

Watched Friends.

'Played' a bit of WiiFit.

Had cell. Usual thing, really.

More WiiFit. Total of 30 minutes for today!

Thursday, May 08, 2008

It's the entertainment revolution!

Took South Street in the morning instead. OK... Probably takes about the same amount of time.

BORING!

Mogli bought my WiiFit. So that's nice.

Applied to change address for Water (whoops - forgot all about that), Car rego and Electoral role.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen; bad reception again. Who knows why.
Got coffee from the new Caffissimo which opened this week at the end of the street. Fairly bitter. But its close...
Read some more book. Finally finished another chapter. Almost halfway through!
Got the call for my new contacts being ready already. Great. There goes my lunchtime tomorrow, then.

Did a tiny bit of work.

Went home and changed then went straight to Mogli's house.

Watched him do his WiiFit thing. Interesting.

Went and got Chicken Treat for dinner, cos Mogli had a two for one voucher. Those chips are damn good.

Went back to his house. Watched BB and part of Don't Forget the Lyrics. Then watched some Foxtel; mainly some show about America's Toughest Prisons, or something. I also watched a bit of the original Lion in Winter film, with Katherine Hepburn.
Then watched a bit of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Left about 9.

Installed my WiiFit and tried most stuff. Not doing very well....

Wednesday, May 07, 2008

Just when you think that life can't get any worse, it does

Made coffee. Strong! Guess I skimped on the milk.

Picked up Mogli, cos he had his CPA exam and needed a lift to the convention centre.
Ai, I hate traffic!

BOORING day!

Ordered some more contact lenses. Mainly cos I had nothing better to do.

Made a list of things that need to be done to the house. Cos I really had nothing better to do.

Mogli came, straight after his exam. To do computer stuff for the firm. Crazy guy...

Ate toasted sandwiches.
Watched part of Changing Lanes.
Went to Epic. Of course, Tomato came too.

Mogli left just before 3, after leaving his CPA stuff in my car.
Apparently, he went straight to Garbo and preordered my WiiFit. So that was nice.

Changed my address with the ICAA. I still had nothing better to do.

Watched Friends.

Went for class. Had to share notes, cos I wasn't there last week.
Had Snickers. Bad idea.

Watched part of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. OK lor...

Tuesday, May 06, 2008

"Now is the winter of our discontent"

Made lunch. Exciting!

Some work...

Ate toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Got takeaway Epic.
Read lots more book.

Some more work.

Watched Friends.

Went for class.
Had a Snickers during the break. Not enough small money for coffee.

Monday, May 05, 2008

Alone, all alone!

Left at 7:20. Slooow freeway. Arrived about 7:50. So not too bad, then.

Read some more book before starting work.

Since Mogli left on Friday, today we had a new employee; BoyGirl (for those in the know). She has certain assets that the stereotypical female accountant (much less male accountant) lacks.

Tried to preorder WiiFit. Unsuccessful. Looks like Mogli's just gonna have to try and get one off the shelf first thing Thursday. Just cos he's already got a prepaid one waiting! Bah!

Had morning tea. BoyGirl didn't make a speech. In fact, if she said anything, I didn't hear it.

Got petrol. Used my card with a bonus 10c off as an introductory offer. So I saved like $3, or something. GREAT.
Did shopping. Just back to buying basic stuff again, really.
Saw the guy who was like the guy who seemed to look after the units when I stayed in Nedlands. Bizarre.
Got Subway for lunch. Tried the chicken fillet 6-inch - OK, I think. Didn't seem a lot different from the roast chicken, actually. Plus, once again, they didn't get my salad right - missed out the carrot and capsicum, at least.
OH WELL!

Left just after 5. I kinda forgot the time cos I was doing excel stuff.

Wore some oldish clothes and went to the old house to clean. Basically just wiped the sink, benches, stove, bath, bathroom sink and toilet, and then did vacuuming. Took out all the old furniture and boxes.
Just after I got there, some car came and took all the old junk that we put out there on Saturday - some crappy small table and a crappy cabinet.
The whole process took me 1.5 hours. And that's without trying too hard.

Went straight to Hungry Jacks and got the chicken BLT meal. Large size. With onion rings. There was a sign saying the shakes weren't working, but. Ai - the story of my life!

Watched the rest of BB.

Spoke to Mogli. Sniff!

Watched the rest of Red Dwarf, then part of Good News Week and BB Big Mouth.
Did some ironing.

Sunday, May 04, 2008

The morning after

Had a shower and flooded the bathroom - I think cos the curtain was on the outside of the tiles at the bottom instead of the inside. Maybe.

Walked to church. For the first and probably last time.
I didn't really want to go at all cos I was so worn out from yesterday - and then of course there was all this extra stuff cos it was the last time there and that. And good old EK doesn't really help to speed things up.

Walked back. Almost died in the process; my poor legs! SO should've worn shorts, at least.

Went and had lunch with Ali & Co at Foo Wah. Damn tasty stuff - not cheap, though. Like $23 per person. Even had fried icecream! Yay!

Watched more Sopranos season 4.

A little while later 13 & Co came and looked at the house, including his mother who was leaving straight after. She seemed to like it. Great!

Did a little more arranging - building my bed, mainly. Not that there's anything wrong with sleeping on the floor.

Watched more Sopranos season 4.

By about 3 I couldn't stand not having long enough extension cords anymore. Also, I had no money.
Drew money from Commonwealth. Woah! There's a first for everything, I guess.
Went to Bunnings. Got extension cords; also some stick on hooks and a double adaptor. Should've bought another power board, but they well hell expensive; like more than everything else put together.

Watched more Sopranos season 4.

Played Wii; more boxing. Bad mistake - I am still so worn out.

Set up computer. Great so what; I don't have internet!

Watched the Big Brother daily show. Nyeh.

Watched Big Brother Gatecrashers special. Double nyeh.

Watched part of Star Wars episode 3. Triple nyeh. Well, actually, it was better than the previous two shows. But it is still rather sucky.

Saturday, May 03, 2008

"Please don't bother trying to find [me], [I'm] not there"

Got up about 8.

Kept packing, mainly the TV and clothes - while JC Superstar was playing. Again!

Parents arrived at 9:30.
Did one load, which was just lots of fairly small stuff.

Mogli came at about 10:30.
Moved the bulky stuff; fridge, washing machine and the TV, which required me to lay down in the back of Mogli's pajero and hold it. Again. I'm getting too old for this sort of stuff.

Discovered that there is no TV antenna at the house, only Foxtel. Again.
Mogli left after promising to bring me some rabbit ears.

Went back and moved what is essentially the last load - the bed mattress and computer table, mainly. There's still a bit of stuff but its mainly scrappy.

Had lunch at the kiosk on the Riverton foreshore opposite V's street. Leo would be so jealous!

Parents left after that. I took the last bit of stuff, except for cleaning stuff.

Mogli came over with rabbit ears at about 2:30. Worked with absolutely no problems.

Started some unpacking. It was more like just shifting stuff, really.

Had a rest. I don't think it really helped.

Watched Sopranos season 4 episodes 2 and 3.

Watched Racing Stripes. I like the voices - cept for the two lead animals.

Watched Dangerous Minds. The song is cool....but generally its fairly lame. But it could've been lamer.

Aaargh - no internet! How shall I survive???

Friday, May 02, 2008

"It is over!" - King Theodin, LOTR

Didn't get up very early, but didn't make coffee or lunch, so go to work way too early.

Got chopsticks from one of the partners, cos they recently went to Japan. Green chopsticks. Hmmm.... I chose them cos they were different.

Ah, slow day. Terribly slow day.

Had morning tea. Depressing, really. I didn't cry, though.

Went to Coast Cafe for lunch. Had the chicken foccacia thing, and a white vienna. The coffee wasn't great but the food was pretty tasty.
Drew money. $9 left in my ANZ account. I'm trying to phase it out, see.

Did a little bit more work.

Left at 3 and drove to the airport. Took ages. Apparently the baggage was taking a while so my parents weren't ready, so I had to circle three times.

Went straight to Karawara post office. Got some parcel.

Went to old house. Took a load of stuff - the table and chairs, mainly.

Then when we were just about to leave, dad locked the deadbolt instead of the door, and I don't have a key for it. So dad had to break back in. After trying the bathroom window for a while he tried the back bedroom window and that opened so that was lucky.

Drove to the new house. Unloaded the table.

Mum stayed there. I had to go and get petrol.

Did another load, which this time was mainly the couch.

It was only about 7 then but felt much later. So went for dinner. After much wondering, decided on Sizzler. I had ribs. Not too bad, but not terribly big. Thank yay for salad bar!

Went home. Watched the rest of Friday Night Live. Then watched the 1st episode of Sopranos season 4.

Asset Rich, Cash Poor

Walked down to city client.

I was too late for the coffee guy before work, so got a latte from the downstairs cafe in the city. It said on the menu that they did takeaway viennas - yeah, that was a lie!

Checked my loan. Yes, it is there. Money all gone! Transferred the little I had left to the loan - just over $20,000. Which is OK. I was aiming for about $25 at this stage.
OH WELL!

Had morning tea - half a muffin. And not very tasty. While still drinking my coffee.

Got back just before 1. Had to hurry things along there towards the end. As usual.

Had toasted sandwiches.
Watched Ellen.
Read quite a bit more book. I gotta say, I ain't seeing much 'agony' or 'ecstasy' so far.

Watched Friends, part of Big Brother and then the Biggest Loser finale. Of course, Mogli's favourite won. Bah!

Did some ironing.

Notice that the guy that does the voiceover for WA southwest travel ads called Simon Westaway. Is that a coincidence? I don't think so!
