1. I've had a busy and down right crappy week at work which goes a long way to explaining the lack of journal postage this week. You know, it's been one of those weeks where everything everyone does kind of pisses you off because everything everyone does is kind of stoopid? Yeah, okay, so I'm being a grouch. I really would love to be Little Miss Sunshine ALL the time. But, yeah, that's just not me.
   
   
2. Yesterday, I signed up for missing_spn. I have this idea in my head about what it is I want to do, and now, I've just got to figure out how to do it. The challenge ends October 3, so I have a little under a month to get my shit together. *is nervous* Damn, my momentary lapses of sanity. *g*
   
   
3. Hey, that means it's also less than a month to the Season 3 premiere. Are we all excited? The first episode stills have been released here. Yeah, I took a little peek. So much for being 'Spoiler Free in Season 3', 'eh?
   
   
4. Steve Carlson wants me at his gig, in LA, again this Saturday night. I really hate having to turn him down all the time... *sighs* Whilst on the subject of Steve Carlson, those KANE CDs I got last week, TOTALLY rock. Especially the Live album.
   
   
5. 'Hairspray' starts here next week. Should I go see it? YES/NO
   
   
6. I'm about two-thirds of the way through SUPERNATURAL: Nevermore, and, oooh boy, do I have questions. At the moment the book looks like one of my text books from school. It has random Post-Its stuck to pages where I've had serious WTF! moments, and to be fair, even a few FTW!, moments. I'll be finished with it tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to put some coherent words together about it.
   
   
7. I had my hair cut tonight. Seriously chopped. I've had about two inches off and I now have little bangs. *gulp* I haven't had bangs for about three years. Not sure about it yet but I'll hold judgement until I've washed it and styled it myself.
   
   
8. Friday tomorrow \o/

I'm wet and I'm cold and I've just walked a few city blocks in the rain - which totally explains the coldness and wetness - to pick up my Supernatural #3 and Buffy V comics, which were delayed yesterday due to some US holiday or something *g* only to find that they didn't have Buffy in yet. But they did have Supernatural so my discomfort hasn't totally been in vain.

* Whingey post motivated entirely by my desire to use my new icon (made by

Luckily I don't think I need to go find a crossroad demon just yet.

These little miniature cars are released each year for all the clubs in the NRL. This little Mini Cooper was from a few years back. 2004, I think. In other years we've seen a Land Cruiser, a Rav4, some sporty little Nissan, etc...

They are nice.
They are cute.
They are not being made anymore!  

1. Happy Supernatural Day (Aus.) It’s the season 2 finale tonight and it feels like it’s been a long time coming. Of course, I’ve already seen it but you know, still exciting. I really hope little Sammy is going to be okay *sob* Unfortunately I may not be able to see it ‘live’ because…
   
   
2. …Tonight I’m going to a VIP Premiere screening of a new documentary Ian Thorpe is presenting. It’s not what you know, people, it’s who you know! I can see some serious celebrity spotting in my immediate future.
   
   
3. Today marks the starting date for the ‘My Dinner with Joss’ auction. Check out the self-pimping the man has done for this:
   
   First of all, why the auction? Because I believe the chance to sit next to me, with my distinctive yet unsettling odor, will cause people to give Equality now Eleventy Kabillion Dollars.
   
   Has he no shame! *grin* If only I had Eleventy Kabillion Dollars to bid…
   
   
4. On Saturday I helped Emma and Dan move into their new home. They’ve done great and despite the fact that the house is, in fact, located on the Dark Side [of Melbourne] (read: The ‘other’ side of the Yarra) it is in a lovely green, leafy and very, very hilly area.
   
   
5. I drove to work today and it only took me 50 minutes!.Usually it takes 1+ hours. There was just no traffic. I spent the first half of the trip thinking “Where’s all the peoples?” as it only occurred to me while I was passing Sunnydale Cemetery (aka. Burwood Cemetery - It reminds me of Sunnydale Cemetary, is all) that it's school holidays *facepalm* Yay for the term two holidays.
   
   
6. I think I’ve discovered a new television show to fill at least part of the void over the summer winter while Supernatural is on hiatus. It’s not so much a new show being that it’s already racked up three seasons but up until last night I had not seen a single episode. Whatcha talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?
   
   HOUSE M.D. is what I'm talkin' 'bout. 
   
   
   ( Dude. How much is this show made of awesome? )
   
   
7. Happy Monday.
   

1. After four days of using public transport (Grrr Argh!) this week I thought I’d treat myself and drive into work this morning. The traffic flowed well until City Road and despite the *rock music plays* sticker on the back of my car I zoomed along listening to country music. Great start to the day!
   
   
2. Looking for country music to listen to in the car this morning highlighted a major oversight on my part. I have very little country on my MP3 player. What's doing there? Sure I have some Keith Urban, a little Dixie Chicks and a Steve Carlson album but no Garth Brooks, no Montgomery Gentry, no Toby Keith, no Billy Ray Cyrus... Looks like I've got some CD ripping to do over the weekend.
   
   
3. Not sure where this came from but in the shower this morning I was thinking if there was a disruption to the space-time continuum and I was transported back to a previous year, what year would I like to re-visit? I decided on 2002. I liked 2002.
   
   
4. It's been so chilly this week. Today I have four layers on in an attmpt to keep warm at the office. It's casual day, as it is every Friday, which usually means a Storm tee-shirt and jacket. However, today I decided to skip the Storm tee and went with my happy shirt instead - my green "No Chick Flick Moments". How can I not be happy wearing Dean & Sammy?
   
   
5. After an extremely bad air day yesterday my hair actually cooperated with me this morning. Awesome.
   
   
6. Cheese Supreme Doritos really are the best snack food.
   
   
7. Happy Friday y'all. Tomorrow it's the weekend!

Today's my first day back at work after a week off. It's been tough going, let me tell you. While I didn't do a whole heap in the first half of the week , the last 3.5 days I spent kidsitting my niece and nephew while their parents were away. Now I come to think about it, the kidsitting was a lot more work then my actual work. Perhaps I should look at this week as the 'holiday'.

1). The Station Formerly Known As Spencer Street is kind of scary. OKAY, it's small and doesn't have that many platforms or trains but it also doesn't haven't many signs. I had no idea where I was going Thursday night. Give me Penn Station in New York anytime! (What? Gratuitous place name dropping? Never!)


2).Also. Is Spencer Street the only train station in metropolitan Melbourne that does not have Pepsi vending machines? WTF! The distinct lack of Pepsi Max was not a good start to the weekend.


3). The new Albury bypass on the Hume Highway totally rocks. It must cut at least 20 minutes off the journey between Melbourne & Sydney. At least.


4). When driving through Sydney, if in doubt, stick to the middle lane. Especially when trying to find your way into the harbour tunnel.


5). Sydney road signage kinda sucks and their left lanes have a terrible habit of 'disappearing'. And don't even get me started on the buses and taxi drivers.


6). Warringah Mall in Manly is a terrific shopping centre but it's car park most definitely sucks. The only* time we got lost on the weekend was trying to get out of that car park.
*The only time whilst Caz or I were driving/navigating.


7). You never know who you'll see when shopping at the above mentioned shopping centre. I am convinced I saw Anne Looby who played Anna Lacey on A Country Practice. Awesome! *goes off in search of old ACP video tapes*


8). Brookvale Oval is the BEST. GROUND. EVER. The atmosphere is wonderful and their supporters are amongst the best behaved and friendliest. The fact that Storm cannot seem to win at the ground is neither here nor there. I am going to every Storm game at Brooky until we finally win one. I'm sure we will... one day...


9). Steve Bell still remembers us.


10). Ribs and Rumps in Manly do a great steak. My choice: Rump. Blue. Yum.


11). It is possible to get three yellow Clinkers in a row. Who knew?


12). I am a nuffer. On the way back from Sydney today, I posted an 'on the road' voice post when we stopped in Gundagai. For some reason I hadn't ticked the 'Disable Auto-Transcription' box in the voice post settings last time I visited so not only was the voice post posted but so was a transcription. And the transcription was so terrible I tried to delete it. Sadly, in the process I somehow managed to delete the entire post. PFFFTT! Voice Post - GONE! I don't believe there is a way to retrieve it however I did manage to salvage the auto-transcription that I was trying to get rid of in the first place. *roll eyes*
