Stitch-less and fancy free!
Winnie Winchester had her stitches removed on Saturday morning and she behaved perfectly. She growled at a big labrador in the waiting room, which was very brave of her even if she was on my lap, in her cage, at the time.

Winnie's Grand Adventure or Oh! Noes!
Winnie still hasn't been outside a great deal. In fact, it's probably been about a month since she was last outside. I keep making excuses: She's too little, she hasn't been fixed and there are tom cats around (can't use that excuse any more), she won't find her way home, she's not afraid of anything so how will she know to avoid cars and dogs... My list goes on.

This morning Winnie either decided to take things into her own hands or fate gave her a helping hand...

( Where's Winnie? )

OK, this is going to brief... bullet point brief.

• It's late.
• So late, it's now Wednesday.
• I spent my evening making Jelly Slice and Lemon Coconut Squares for morning tea at work tomorrow.
• Inauguration Day.
• It's all happening at approximately 3:30 AM Melbourne time.
• I've set my alarm for 3:30 AM.
• No guarantee I'll actually wake up but I'd like to.
• Watched the new Kyle XY this evening while baking.
• Probably need to watch it again and actually pay attention this time.
• New Leverage today. \O/
• Fingers crossed there isn't an issue with the aspect-ratio this week.
• 3:30 AM is only two hours away.
• Going to bed now.
• Enjoy your day.

Over at TNT, the network has ordered six additional scripts from its promising new drama series "Leverage," which premiered to 5.6 million viewers in Decenber[sic].

I know this doesn't actually say there will definitely be another six episodes, nor does it say if the six episodes will be part of the current season or the start of a season two, but... OMG!!! There might be more Leverage!!!

*glee*

I'm definitely gonna need icons.

★ It's 11:30 o'clock at night and it's currently 31°c (88°f) Who lives where it's a 31°c at 11:30 pm? *sigh* It reached 39°c (102°f) today and the forecast for tomorrow is much the same. *melts*


★ I took Winnie to the vet this evening for a check up after her operation last week. The vet remembered her. Remembered her a little too well from the alleged chaos and injuries she caused when they tried to take her blood last week. He even went as far as to tell me she was the 'second worst cat he's ever treated'. o_O

My sweet little Winnie? Second worst cat he's ever treated? But she's only a little kitten... :(

( Winnie's fourth trip to the vet... )


★ New episode of Kyle XY = FTW! It was so great visiting with Kyle and the Tragers again.

Flist, who else out there watches Kyle XY? I know whimsywinx and mel_b_angel do and I know Whimsy liked it. mel_b_angel did you watch it yet?


★ New episode of Leverage tonight. If Kyle was the my big TV discovery in 2008 then Leverage is my TV discovery of 2009. It just keeps getting better; it's already come a long way from the pilot. I love how the characters have developed and their relationships with each other. *loves*


★ I think I had something else to say but I can't remember what. It couldn't have been that interesting so I probably just saved y'all 30 seconds reading time which you can put to good use else where.


★ Happy Tuesday!

I'm trying to clean up my Laptop hard drive. The disk is 160GB disk with about 4GB free. Understandably, things are not working as they should.

Funny enough, one of the main culprits is a directory called ...\katy\A My Tv\supernatural\ which weighed in at a hefty 38.4 GB (11,668 files, 391 folders).

I've moved it off onto an external hard drive but I don't trust them so I'm trying to copy it to DVD as a backup. Castiel forbid I'd hate to lose anything! For some reason my DVD writer doesn't like writing from the external disk so I have to copy the data I want to burn to DVD back to a temp directory on the laptop. This is the current status message I'm getting:



That's 30 years! o_O

Winnie is back home after her operation. I picked her up about three hours ago. The operation went fine and she is doing OK.

or Seven Things I've Learned During the Past 72 hours.

Number 1: I am a sucky friend. :( I completely missed evenindeath's birthday. :( This is way way too late but Happy 'Belated' Birthday, Hannah. Hope you had a lovely day and that you are enjoying your holiday away from Uni. *hugs*

Number 2: I am a sucky friend. I've hardly commented on anyone's entries in the new year. I thought once Christmas/New Year was over, I'd have a ton of time up my sleeves to play on LJ. Alas, that was not to be. As of yesterday, I'm back at work and, funny enough, I've actually had to work. Even though I've been trying to read my flist, I'm not doing too well. (see Number 1) It's only the 7th day of the year and I already feel like I'm behind on everything. *dramatic sigh* I'm going to catch up! I will. Expect random & belated comments from me over the next couple of days.

Number 3: Birthday parties for three-year-olds are kind of exhausting. It was Campbell's birthday party on Sunday. Campbell is my friends, Caz and Trent, little boy. They live about 3 hours away and Mum and I drove up to spend the afternoon at the party. This is the same little boy who we made the 'Henry the Octopus' cake for last year. No cake was required this year but there were lots of three year olds running around and swimming in the pool and eating copious amounts of sugar! It was kind of awesome. :D

Number 4: Guitar Hero Rocks! After all the kids went home, and Campbell went to his stay with his Grandparents, I got to play Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. How much freakin' fun is that game!!! It was the first time I'd ever played any of the Guitar Hero games and I survived all six songs I tried without getting boo'd off-stage. For someone who has absolutely no musical talent what-so-ever it was like a dream come true. It was love at first play! ;)

Number 5: I can't live without Guitar Hero. (see Number 4) Work!bff and I went to see the movie, Australia last night after work and we had a few hours to kill before it started. As it turned out, it was just enough time for me to go to K-Mart to purchase 'Guitar Hero: World Tour' for a Wii and then go to JB HiFi to purchase the Wii! Over the past month I've had a couple of goes on Wii and thought it was pretty cool. Needing a console to play Guitar Hero on pushed me over the edge to purchase one. Not sure when I'm going to play it considering I've already said I feel like I'm behind on everything else. (see Number 2.)

Number 6: Australia was most enjoyable. Nicole Kidman was a bit over the top and somewhat annoying in the first half but made up for it in the second half. Hugh Jackman was pretty good and pretty pretty. Very pretty. Yeah, so, I'm a little shallow. ;)

Number 7: I'm kind of desperate to see previews for My Bloody Valentine 3D and Friday the 13th. I was very disappointed they weren't shown prior to Australia (as if they would be!) and it got me wondering which movie I could go see that would give me the best opportunity to see them. Seeing a movie just to see the previews... *facepalm*

Happy Tuesday because somewhere in the World it's still Tuesday. ")

There's only 28 minutes of 2008 left for me so I better get on with posting this, the final Winchester Wednesday post for 2008, if I actually want to make it before midnight. (Some how I got distracted watching The Full Monty...)


Two months ago tomorrow, I met Winnie Winchester for the first time. I can't believe how much she's grown since then.

( Where the Wild Things Are... )

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Carols by Candlelight with lots of kids running a-muck around a local park!

One of those kids is my neice, Adelaide
(aged 6). She's appointed herself the Town Candlelighter and is having a great time tearing around the place with her mates, ensuring the townsfolk's candles are burning brightly. :)

My other neice, Eloise (aged 2), is enjoying practicing her baton twirling with glow sticks. :)
