Overheard in the street

Picture two really rough looking people (minus a couple of teeth). One guy, one girl, definetly NOT upstanding members of society. I am happily walking along, looking all 'officey' and this is what i hear:

Feral guy: 'So what your saying is that your money is your money, and MY money is your money?'

Skanky girl: It doesnt matter what i bought, your were in F*ckin jail anyway!'

And they probably think this is a normal conversation to have...

Love this!

As you can probably tell,

I have another essay to do. This one is on 'The Dead' by James Joyce. A Much better topic than my previous essay on Parisian prose poetry. Yes, i am doing everything but the essay, however last night i was up until 2:00 working on it. What a great way to spend a saturday night. An essay and Crocodile Dundee. I love Crocodile Dundee for these reasons:

1. He conveyed Aussies in a funny, largely incorrect, light. For example, not once have I ever called anyone a 'pelican'. Ever. Im just saying.

2. His innocence. Seriously, we are not that gullible. Im fairly certain that most Aussies can see the difference between a 'real woman' and a 'transvestite' (especially the one in the movie)

Discovering Etsy

I love exploring the links on people's sites and seeing where they lead me. Not long ago i was introduced to Etsy and i love it. It is kind of like a cross between Ebay and a market.

So far i have purchased a great hair set off Sarah , which is soo cute! My niece is going to love it! And (another) eye pillow . It's different to my others as its filled with rice, allowing it to be heated or cooled. So you see, i had to buy it! (Also, i love the phrase. What can i say?)

I'm above average, thanks for asking!

When the Uni posts assignment results, they put your (my) mark and the class average. Up until now i i have been at least .5 of a mark above average, but due to m last assigment i am now 2.5 marks above average.

I have never been so happy to be ever so slightly above average! I have been (somewhat) vindicated!

Just thought you should know this.

Kick ass!

Must have

I am sooo wanting this vest by Milk & Honey. I could wear it for work and for play and i am thinking that it would match my new hair.... :)

Its a bargain too, $74.95 at Bird Motel

Misc.

Tonight i kicked butt at tennis! I think it had a lot to do with my 'pre-menstrualness' but im ok with that. Surely i deserve at least one benefit??!

On another note, Brett has put a colour in my hair- and ladies, he is really good at it. This is the ONLY guy i know who will colour my hair on par with a hair dresser.


I have been ever so slightly changing my routines. For example:

1. Hair colour. Was blonde, now on it's way to 'Golden Brown'- a slight change, but change non the less!

2. I have changed coffee! Yep, no more Nescafe! Im now at the mercy of Robert Timms!

3. Yes, yes i am wearing the sleep masks. I have approx 10, but had no idea why as i didnt really use them. Well, not anymore!

4. Am attemptng to be more oraganised for Uni. Have started a filing system and fully *intend* to continue in this manner.

p.s- my scalp is burnng......

The mouth of babes

What a great way to start a sunday....

Brett's nephew Jordan was over this morning, he's about 9 years old. I hadn't gotten out of bed yet, however i did eventually stumble to the kitchen. Jordan looked at me and enquired, 'Did you just get out of bed?' 'Yes' i replied, and then he asked 'Is that why you look a little bit scary?'
I laughed and replied with 'Yes, yes that it why i look a little bit scary' because it was true. I did look a little bit scary.

In my defence though, i had drank a little too much wine and was not feeling the best.

But, how funny.

Dylan Moran

Tomorrow night Brett & I are off to the big, bad city of Sydney to see this fine young gentleman, Dylan Moran. You may have seen him in the british tv comedy series Black Books.


You know when you see bands or comedians adverstised and you think that you would like to go and see them, but never ending doing so? Well not this time! I made the effort and tracked down some tickets. This just goes to show how funny he is. Really. Hilarious!

To top it off I am having tomorrow off work. Granted i still have to go to Uni first thing, but after that i am going to shop and laugh until i pee myself.

Do you see many comedians? I love seeing them. Probably even more so than seeing a band. I find that it is one of the only occasions that i am within a large group of strangers and EVERYONE is laughing and having a great time(not at me!). The crowd is united in hilarity! Ok yes, now i am sounding a bit lame BUT you get my point.

Kick ass!

No, they just wont fit!

A few of my friends are having babies and falling pregnant and so I have babies on the mind. This was made apparant in my dream last night. Firstly, i dreamt that my parents were having another baby. That in itself is rather alarming, but then i dreamt that instead of milk, my mother was producing/feeding little carrots through her nipples! Yes, i know what you are thinking-ow.

But whats worse is that when i held the little munchkin, it thought that it would try and get its carrot fix from me! Um, no, No way.

So anyway, thats how queer my dreams are.

But seriously- carrots???

Word of the Day

Well, we all know that I am obsessed with words. Any words, big and small-I am not sizist! Anywho, I though I would introduce my 'word of the day', words I come across that I did not know exist.

Word 1: Imbibe
Verb- to drink, to absorb as if by drinking.

Eg, i feel like imbibing right now.

:)

Whats in a name?

Sometimes i wonder how much time i have spent on normal, everyday things such as driving to and from work, waiting in line at the post office, eating McDonalds (including waiting for MacDonalds!) and lately i have thought about how much time I have spent writing my name. It's kinda long. Kimberlie. And im not someone who will shorten their own name. I don't write Kim. In saying that, i dont mind if others shorten my name, it's just that i can't. SOMETIMES if in a hurry and need to get around this little 'obstacle' i will wirte my initials KW.
Ha! I win!

KW (hehehe)

Now, i am going to do it now

This weekend I have planned to do an essay I have due on friday. It is on Parisian literatre and prose poetry. So far i have done everthing but the essay in question.
So far I have:
-Picked up lovey, great best chair ever!
-Visited with parents
-Food shopping
-Got out laptop and essay notes. Read notes but need cup of tea.
-Decided to paint new, best chair ever!
-Had to go and get new paint
-Paint chair (also ruin new clothes)
-Write one paragraph! Oy!
-Spend quality time with possum ;)
-Have friend come over for more tea
-Prepare dinner
-Eat dinner
-Attempt to do essay, but decided to blog about how I have not really started essay.

How I wish this essay was on procrastination.... :)

Chair delight!

I saw this chair and bought it(basically)straight away. It's old and it's awesome! It blew the budget but i know i will have it forever! I dare say this will be my 'thinking chair'...

Shake & Stir

So, i think i am in a bit of a rut. I need to shake things up a bit. Ultimately, i would love to work one less day a week and have the oppurtunity to pursue other interests. I cant see that happening right now, so in the meantime i am after something to make my life a bit more....interesting? Fulfilling? I have uni which is good, and 'possum' and I are great, so i think i need a (writing?)project of some sort. Until i think of something in that regard I plan to:

1. Change hair colour - im thinking copperish?
2. Organise my life a bit better
3. Go back to art class
4. Prioritise and most importantly...
5. Change my routines!

Maybe this is where my cereal change fits in?? I have already started and didnt even know it...

Any ideas?

Cereal matters

How often do you change your cereal? Do you alternate? I do.

For years i was a toast and tea type of gal, but somewhere along the lines i swapped to Corn Flakes. I had stayed with Corn Flakes for a couple of years until 2 days ago. All of a sudden they were pushed to the side and i reached for the Wheat Bix. My boyfriend was very surprised-shocked even. Why did this happen? Was is a conscious decision?

Soggy v Crisp is also a breakfast preferance. There seems to be an even split in society. I am definetly soggy. I think this is much like the Holden v Ford thing. Pegs on the line v pegs off the line etc etc.

Oh and i musnt forget sugar v no sugar. I am sugar!! I need my a.m sugar hit. I love soggy sugar.

Really, when you think about it, Breakfast is quite odd. Generally you have the same thing again and again. Every morning like clock work. BUT you would NEVER think of doing the same thing for dinner day in and day out. I wonder why that is?

Obsessed: hearts

I am obsessed with hearts. On anything. I recently tracked down a hot water bottle that has a knitted heart cover (no pic though) and have since found heart shaped tea cups. They are sooo cute!

You can get them from $29 for a set of 2 at www.keithandlottie.com

What do you think?

Wrong in sooo many ways

Is it so wrong that i have a attraction to the scent on Glen 20?

Yes, i am serious.

On a side note: Isnt Glen 20 an odd name for spray disinfectant/air freshener? I wonder if its named after the creator? Was Glen in fact 20 when he created it? If anyone knows the history of Glen 20, please let me know.
I am very certainly going to have to research this....

The question is..

Do i need this yellow Grab bag? I dont have a yellow bag, and this one is definetly yellow. Ahhhh to many decisions. Help! www.birdmotel.com.au

Tomatoes are evil!

I heart my Uni lecturer! He is such a nerd and i think its great. Not only does his pants sit high above his waist, his glasses pushed right up against his face, but he has the BEST nerdy t-shirts.

One time he wore a shirt that had a little boy looking towards the stars with the caption 'Is anybody out there?' (definetly a Star Trek fan!). The next week he wore a shirt that had a tomatoe on it a a big red line through it. That was it. I pondered that shirt for 2 hours until he eventually turned around around to reveal some writing stating that 'Tomatoes are evil'. hehehe.

I think when he gets older people will call him 'eccentric'
