Grand Final? What Grand Final?

The brand new day hasn't made the loss any easier to take. Apparently it's the largest losing margin in an NRL grand final. EVER. Well, never let it be said Stom don't do a good job of everything we do. We didn't just lose, we lost spectacularly.

We are a smidge over halfway home and I've kept myself amused by watching Kyle XY on my iPOD. My little travelling buddy, Bradley Bear, has hijacked it now to watch his favourite angel, Castiel, get up in Dean's face. Bradley Bear I such a fan!bear.

Yep, I may be a little bored... Are we there yet?

Manly Sea Eagles 8
Melbourne Storm 0

I'm really hoping the 'other' Melbourne Storm team comes out to play after half time. You know, the Storm team that wins games...

G'day from somewhere along the Hume Highway. The last sign we past says we still have 379 kms to go before we reach Sydney. Emma and Dan picked me up at about midday and we've already been on the road for six hours. Hopefully we've only got less than four to go. \O/ Whose idea was it to settle Sydney so far from Melbourne anyway? ;)

We've listened to cheesy 80's music including Bros., Kylie, and Kenny Loggins, the Top Gun soundtrack and now we're bopping to Avril Lavigne. I have plans to introduce them to the wonders of Steve Carlson and Kane at some point. Resistance will be futile! *evil laugh*

I'd like to say some stuff about 4x03 but I'm posting via the mobile LJ client and it doesn't do lj-cuts and I'm not sure if we're still in spoiler mode. I can, however, sum up my feelings about it in one word and an acronym: OMG ACE!!!

Happy Weekend everyone :)

1) Supernatural Season Four starts THIS WEEK!!!


2) I'm on my way to work with a hugeass headache. It's taken up residency just behind my right eye. It's going to be a long Monday.


3) Melbourne Storm lost yesterday. We played terribly and, to be honest, didn't look like they wanted to win. We get a 'second chance' next week, playing the Brisbane Broncos in Brisbane. I won't be going and if we play like we did yesterday, we won't be winning.


4) ( Should of known before the game things weren't going to go our way )


5) Oh, and I'm having a bad hair day.

1). Team!Shortbus Outing Yesterday: After much indecisiveness, we settled on seeing 'Tropic Thunder'. I lost count on the number of people we let go in front of in the queue because we couldn't decide. It was a pretty funny movie and not at all what I expected. All I knew about it was that Jack Black was in it (that was the selling point for me) so I was surprised to see a few other actors in there who, at first, I didn't even recognise!


2). Before the movie we headed up to JB Hifi (DVD/Music store). The do good out of Team!Shortbus! I picked up a copy of the, 'Friday Night Lights' (the movie), for $12.98 and then, just near the checkout, we spotted copies of Eric Kripke's 'Boogeyman for $6.89! Score! \O/


3). chasingangel82 has just got back from a trip to Vancouver and LA and she spoiled us by bringing us back gifts. Thanks Bec :)( Baby!Winnie the Pooh )


4). Last night I was working on the laptop at the coffee table. I got up to do the dishes and look what I found when I got back... ( oh, Rainbow! )


5). It's Father's Day today so I've got to get moving so I can go home with Dad's present this afternoon.


6). And then, tonight I'm going to the final regular season Melbourne Storm game. As a result of previous games this weekend, Storm must win their game tonight by about 28 points to finish on top of the ladder. *gulp*

Kubrick, one of the goldfish I was fish sitting died this morning. I like to think he's swimming happily in the big fish pond in the sky. The other fish appear to be unaffected by his passing.

Rainbow the cat is sitting next to me as I type this. She's sitting on the table (naughty cat!), on a map of North America. Her butt is covering Southern California and Arizona, her body is covering parts of New Mexico, Texas and Mexico, and her tail is some where around the Grand Canyon. Located to the left of the fan on the laptop, which is blowing out warm air, it's the warmest part of the map. She's not a silly cat.

This part of the post isn't going to mean a whole lot to about 95% of you who read this but I was a bit excited this evening when I caught the train home from work with Billy Slater! In reality it was only a picture of Billy Slater but there he was, his cheeky face smiling down from the wall of the train above my head. Go Storm!



Billy Slater is just one of the superstars of Melbourne's own, Melbourne Storm Rugby League Club.

Seeing an ad for a footy game on a train might not seem like a big deal but Melbourne Storm don't get any a lot promotion about town so I always get a bit of thrill seeing things like this. It's probably similar to the feeling you get seeing Supernatural promoted anywhere ;)

( A couple more random Storm boy pictures and other Storm stuff... )

~ Three more sleeps to a new episode. Cool, huh? I was more of less unspoiled until I saw The CW website this morning but it was SO WORTH IT! If you don't mind being kind of spoiled, go check it out.

~ Mum and Dad left for an overseas trip last night. They are going to Egypt, England and France.

~ That's all I've got to say this fine Tuesday night but I will leave you with a photo behind a cut.

It's behind at cut for a few reasons:
1. Some/all of you may not want to see it.
2. It's Rugby League related and I know most of you aren't interested in Rugby League, however...
3. It is of naked Rugby League players with a strategically placed Premiership Trophy.

( Naked Melbourne Storm Players... )

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

I don't really have anything to say but I couldn't let a Tuesday pass without the pig or the poke.

Ooh, I know! I'm going to post this picture because I'm sure you haven't seen it anywhere else. Right?



Fictional Jensen Quotes:

"For my first pose I'm going to do the 'The Jensen'. I'll stare intensely into the camera lens with my lips slightly parted and all pouty like. I'll make sure my forearm and well manicured thumb nails are visable, as well as just a hint of my sculptured biceps. This pose usually works very well with the cleanshaven look I chose to go with this morning."

"For my second pose, I'm going to go with 'The Jared'. I'll try to maintain the intensity in my gaze but I'll sprawl my body haphazardly across these steps, leaning back to accentuate the broadness of my shoulders and chest and allow the camera to focus in on my crotch. Usually this pose works best with long shaggy hair and argyle sweaters but, hey, I'll give it a shot."

( And this is what I'm talking about... )

Hey, it's Team Tuesday!

The National Rugby League season starts this weekend. How'd it get here so fast? Holy crap. I got a Melbourne Storm game to go to Monday night! Whoo hoo! \O/

Do I sound excited? Because I know that's how I'm meant to feel but I just can't seem to get into it this year. Perhaps once I'm at the game on Monday it'll be all good... *sigh*

Oh, Crap. I just missed 'Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles'. *is sad*

On the bright side, I was watching 1x05 and 1x06 of 'Chuck'! *is happy*
I kind of like Chuck. And I kind of like Captain Awesome. And I even kind of like Morgan. :)

I snagged myself a new icon from sweetgirl7808. Sweet. I'm seriously in awe of the talent of some people out there. It takes long enough to get the animated side of things working, let alone manipulating the images to make something like this.

-

Well, that was a lot to say for when I had nothing to say to begin with.

1. Get my Storm Tattoo - I think I've finally decided on this, to go on my shoulder. There is, however, still 2 hours and 30 minutes before my appointment so that's plenty of time to change my mind. DONE!!!


2. Make Christmas Cards - I've really got to get moving on this one, especially the overseas ones. They've got a big ocean to cross, ya know, and it takes a long long time. *nods*


3. Create something for ssstevie's "This is Your Life, Dean" project. - I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking...


4. Christmas shopping - I still need to get something for Mum, Dad, Grandma, Jenny, Michael, Samantha, Nicholas, Andrew, Lisa, Adelaide, Eloise, Laura, Emily... oh, heck, I still need to get SOMETHING for EVERYONE. Why couldn't I have started shopping earlier? There are only 17 shopping days to go, right? *gulp*


5. Start / Finish making a few surprise Christmas presents. - Sssshhh, it's a secret.

Okay, so now I've listed everything it doesn't seem like that much. Really...

... or at least not in a way most people could understand, but my Rugby League Team, Melbourne Storm, won the 'big one'.

I was about to post my thoughts about the Season Three Premiere of Supernatural, when I realised I hadn't even posted about Storm's win on the weekend.

It's a bit late, so I won't go into details. I'll just let this picture do the talking instead:
