Quick update

Nothing much to say, feeling a bit sick lately and so I haven't bothered writing. Nothing exciting has been happening anyway. Just working and doing job applications. What a gripping life I do lead. I love that line.

Oh, I did plant some trees for National Tree Day, hope you all did too. Lungs of the earth, after all. I think, deep down, I am a hippie. I mean, apart from their drug use, compulsive behaviour and free love, I think we're identical.

When pets are better looking than their owners

Take a look at the gecko I want to buy. Aren't they cuties??? Look at that cute little face, and that cute little tail, and those cute little spots! Can you tell I want this gecko really badly? I've found out I don't need a permit to keep one, but now I need to actually find one for sale. I've spent the last hour researching and emailing people who can help me. Probably not a good thing to put more energy into finding a gecko than finding a job, hehehe.

Oh, speaking of jobs, for those I haven't told, I got another rejection phone call on Monday. I hate those. But am feeling much more positive about things now so don't want to dwell on things too much.

The last few days have been great because I haven't had to go to work. I've had Trade Union training, yay! I love it because we get a free lunch and a fun time. Tomorrow is the last day, back to work on Friday unfortunately. I love gossiping and have had a chance to gossip about old workmates too, so it's been great all round :-)

That's all for now - geckos rule!

/Me wants reptiles!

And no, I don't mean a trouser snake.

On Friday night I went out with my friend Misch to a property near Strathalbyn, where we met up with a few other people and walked around in the dark listening for frogs. We waded in the creek, caught a couple just to see what they looked like (let them go, ofcourse) and then went back to the house and drank wine and relaxed. The lady whose property it is has a reptile house where she breeds and releases Murray Darling Carpet Pythons, so she let us in to have a look. I was in heaven. Wall to wall of Vivariums and Aquariums with not only Pythons but other snakes too, leaf insects, lizards and geckos. I realise it could be a while before I could ever keep a snake, but keeping a Gecko is much easier so that is now my goal.

Misch brought me home at around 11pm and stayed until 1:30am chatting and drinking coffee. Was a damn good night.

The rest of the weekend has been a normal weekend. There must be something in the air though because today I am doing a major clean. Aside from that, dreading work tomorrow as is usually the case.

So, apart from telling you what I've been up to the last few days, I don't really have anything exciting to write about, in terms of thoughts, observations, etc. Oh, but I will say this. How cool is it in the country looking up at the stars? The sky is just full of them, you can see tiny ones so far away. Never get to see things like that in the city. If only the country wasn't so boring and so far away from any broadband connection, it might just be okay.

Annoyances

If I hear one more thing about Delta Goodrem getting cancer on the news or radio I'm gonna go over there and beat her into remission. I know, anyone getting cancer is awful, but do we really need to hear about how the Neighbour's writers are gonna have a hard time? Do we need to hear a song of hers every hour (and she doesn't have that many) so we can hear the same dickhead at the radio station sending their best wishes? Perhaps it would be ok if at work I didn't need to listen to crappy easy listening. And no, this is not a case of the Mondays.

And then I got annoyed because the stupid censorship board has banned Ken Park and I still can't find a copy of it online to download. I really wanted to see this movie, and censorship of any form annoys the crap outta me.

Aside from that, traffic today sucked and it was cold and windy.

How was your day?

Bring on the weekend

What a busy week!

Have had to fill in at another store again this week, and on top of that had two job interviews on Tuesday, so my mind is a little frazzled. Plus, good old conservation meetings, where Mel quite often humiliates herself by saying stupid things. I think there is a blonde in me somewhere sometimes.

I'm finally gonna go and see X-Men 2 tomorrow night, yay! Ivan doesn't like the same movies as me so I have to rely on Ben, my movie buddie. And he's had the chicken pox so I've been waiting and waiting. So tomorrow, I will have to wait no more, yay! Except, well, when I get up in the morning, I'll have to wait for night to roll around, and so on, but you get my point.

Today I ran into an old customer from back in my checkout days when I worked in a store on the other side of town. He used to come in every Saturday with his daughter who's about my age and come through my register. Was so wierd to run into him, and he remembered my name too - I must have been a really polite person back then. How times have changed, har har.

Hmm, what else? Oh, remember when you were younger and you had a crush on a movie star or something who was around your age? But then, years later, when you watch those same movies, it's creepy to say you think they're hot. Here's an example. When I was 12 Terminator 2 was my favourite movie and I thought Edward Furlong was the hottest thing. He's a year or two older than me so liking the adult version of him is still cool. But watching Terminator 2 now, and seeing him when he was that young, you just feel icky perving on them. Like Kirsten Dunst is gorgeous now, but if you perve on her in Interview With The Vampire, it's kinda creepy.

Think about it sickos! :-P
I need sleep.

Random Ramblings (will they never end?)

I don't really have anything to write about today but just wanted to update so that the pictures weren't staring me in the face each time I looked at my site. So if you don't want to read any mindless chatter, then click here instead and go have some fun.

I bought the new powderfinger CD today and got a free Bonus DVD with it, w00t! I love those guys. Even if the album isn't that great, the DVD makes up for it.

Hmm, what else have I been up to? Been getting into the conservation meetings again now that my First Aid course is all finished and I haven't been for a while. Note to self: Write a letter to the Environment Minister about closing the Environment Shop (bastards).

Further note to self: Get on the exercise bike a bit more.

Final note to self: Only write when you have something meaningful to say.

Warned you to click on the link, didn't I?

Shield your eyes!

This is my favourite pic because the shadows hide everything quite well, hehehe. This was taken at Australia Zoo, and it's a kangaroo, not a wallaby, Jun :-P

The guy in the middle is my cousin Viktor, and the woman on the left is his wife, Germaine. Anyway, this was taken at Australia Zoo too, about the time I was freaking out. My sister took this photo, but there was a photographer taking another photo that we could purchase. ANyway, she took one photo, during which time I was very calm, then she needed to change her roll of film. The snake got restless and so did I.
