I'm going to assume that it's just me and that this isn't actually one of the single dullest Monday Montages I've ever done (although I want that door knocker in the centre)...Can you tell it hasn't been a stellar day?I've got blisters on the balls of my feet (always guaranteed to make me cranky), I had an annoying tangle with a Bootcamp squad on my walk this morning, I got stared at (and as a result got all paranoid for no good reason) by a Father/Son duo on the bus and then when I got to work it ...
Stoopid foot blisters... stoopid neighbours... STOOPID Bootcamps... and stoopid daydreams about what would happen if I won the lottery...That's where my head's at this morning... now for the other kind of Unconscious Mutterings...
Ooooh... my poor feets...I envy those people who can wear a pair of thongs to do everything in, run around, walk everywhere, etc, etc... me, I get to a certain point and I don't know if it's because my feet start to sweat (yeah, not a pleasant image is it) or the thongs heat up too much or what, but they always start to rub and I've ended up with blisters on the balls of my feet more than once...I decided that since it was a glorious day today that I should try and kickstart my Sidestreets ...
So, I decided to re-install Windows. No, before you think "Ahh, typical Microsoft software", keep in mind that I've been running this installation of Windows Server 2003 without an issue for the past 3 years. Not only has it been webserver, email server, file server, but also multimedia centre, games console, and workbench. And never crashed. More than what I can say for Adam's MacBook Pro!I decided to go for the "colonic cleansing" after I noticed that certain functions were getting upset after I had to replace the motherboard a few months ago. So, I decided to go the whole ...
Yes, with just over two months to go, we've inevitably reached that time of the year again... it's time to think about considering starting to talk about wondering whether we should be thinking about deciding what to get people for Christmas...We've sort of being shopping for Christmas things for the last few weeks, but only really in relation to presents for each other (although not a whole lot of stuff to be honest)... which is wise, since while I have a feeling that I might be gainfully employed over Christmas and possibly beyond (though not with the group I'm ...
I'm not sure if I should say that today has been a "lucky day" (hence ruining the possibility of the aforementioned luck), but it's been a fairly good day overall...It does seem like a number of things have just fallen into place, even if it's only stupid things like traffic lights changing when you need them to, the bus arriving just as you get to the stop, being engaged with work all day and feeling appropriately useful at certain points, getting to wear jeans, Morning Tea with homemade cupcakes (during which I should have shut the hell up, because ...
the first day of filming turned out to be every bit as scary as i imagined it to be. so much in fact that at one point i actually wondered what i had gotten myself into. that thought came to me as i was staring down the barrel of a camera, about to have an onscreen meltdown.doing our first lot of episode shoots over the weekend made me realise that there's so much more to tv presenting and making a tv show than i had originally expected, even though i already knew that it wasn't going to be merely ...
A thematic Random Hotness this week... these shots of shirtless blonde boys wearing rosary beads floated across my desk a day or so ago... and I do love me some cute blonde action.I just wish I could have found more shots of the guy on the left...Current Mood: ...
as well as putting time in front of the cameras this weekend, i also spent part of it catching up with friend, zane, who is down from sydney.i first met zane a couple of years ago through another friend when both had come to visit melbourne. since then, we've gotten along very well. the thing i really like about zane is his somewhat off-beat humour and demenour; the kind that comes across as being innocent but not. in fact, over the years, i've grown to like that cheeky side of him. part of this, i guess, is the fact ...
I have had a few thoughts tonight that were triggered by different events, so here they are:On being true to oneselfI read a blog post by a blogger friend I respect a few minutes ago, who said the following: "The rules thus far are amazingly simple, be honest, be honest with yourself and those you encounter along the way. Don't put up with the crappy people, but invest in those who you respect and who respect you. Live, try things out ... but remember U-Turns are legal. Try not to hurt anyone along the way."Reading this after the evening ...
This week is turning out to be a whole "World of Beige"...I don't know if it's to do with Daylight Savings, or the fact that the weather turned decidedly craptastic again today (just pick a fricken season and stick to it goddammit) or what, but we're talking wall-to-wall lackluster beige cardigans and cheaply made old-man slippers.Monday was a write off... I didn't leave the house all day (having skipped my walk), I read all morning (which was actually enjoyable), and watched DVDs on and off for the rest of the day and ended up feeling like I should ...
