mr.fix-it fixed it!

so my computer died the other day.. sad i know.
i don't know if it was the heat or something else.. whatever it was, it didn't like it. It had to go to the doctor but baby is back now, and mumma sure glad it is. :)

i know earlier i complained about the weather. How is was summer but the summer weather was nowhere to be seen... well, melbourne has just survived it's most extreme heat wave... EVER.
everyday this week has been over 40 degrees (104 f). NEVER going below 30 (86 f). not even at night time. crazy right!?
thursday, geelong had it's hottest day on record, 45.3 (113.5 f). and this record dates back to 1885. i worked through that heat. and honestly am quite proud of myself for not passing out from heat exhaustion... because our work a/c isn't working... grr.
so i have been living at the beach. thursday night i was there with friends till midnight. and at that time it was still warm and beautiful.
im taking my nephews down there to go boogie boarding tomorrow. should be a blast. im not very good, so maybe they can teach me a thing or two.

was my friends 18th yesterday. she is finally of legal drinking age. so to celebrate, some girlfriends and i and taking her out to (legally) drink! yay!
glug glug!
:)

haha, i wish...

i found this...
and no offense union jack...
but this just seems a lot better to me.
cute, huh!?

:)

Happy 26th of January!

So I went to borders today after work.
They were out of Fight Club AND Lullaby...
What are the chances!? Seriously!?
It's just rude.
So while I was there I was browsing and I picked up Twilight, New Moon and...



Barack Obama - Change We Can Believe In.
I just can't stop reading about him!
The new President!
It's still exciting to say...

So it's Australia day on Monday. Hence the Happy 26th of January.
and I get the day off!
Woo hoo! Long weekend!
So to celebrate, I'm going out with some girlfriends to drink and dance the weekend away. Should be a good weekend. I just hope I don't regret it on Tuesday.
and the it's going to be 29 degrees on Sunday... so beach.. HERE I COME!!!

President Barack Obama.

For the past couple of years my father has been reminding me that I am an Australian citizen, not an American.
Since 2006 I have been swept up in Obama mania.
I have watched debates.
Read interviews.
Read his books.
Listened to his ideas and hopes for the future. Not just for his country, but for the world.
We are also totally friends on MySpace...

As a citizen of the world, I am proud that a man with such wonderful visions for every man, woman and child has been elected to the position of President of the most influential country on the planet.

I woke up this morning at 3am to watch the live televised coverage of the inauguration.
It was amazing and worth how tired I am today. The amount of people that were there to see this monumental occasion was astonishing. Approx 2 million I heard at one point and billions watching in their homes. (and I hear it was like 0 degrees....)
These people were there witness something that many people never thought would happen in their lifetime.
I wish I could have been there. The atmosphere must have been electric. Maybe if President Obama runs again in 2012, I'll make the trip across the Pacific.

He has a lot of work to do, but I believe he, along with Vice President Biden, and the rest of his staff, can do it. He know what he is up against, and he knows Americas (and the worlds) problems wont be solved overnight. But he has faith that he can do it.

Best of Luck to President Obama!

Peace.

P.S. How classy is Michelle Obama!? Seriously.
I want to be her...
and the cuties that are Sasha and Malia, are going to grow up in front of the whole world.. Gulp.

...choke...

another master piece by Mr.Chuck Palahniuk go grace my bookshelf.
i read it over the weekend.
well that's not true. i read the first 2 chapters thursday night.
nothing friday. i knocked most of it out saturday.
i was still sore for the (awful!) dental work on thursday, so i had a lazy day.
i got up. got dressed. took my dogs for a quick walk. then went home got back into bed and read.
all day.
it was awesome.

my only gripe with the book is the excessive use of the word "dude" and the phrase "for serious"...
other then that, loved it.
and i totally saw that Paige Matthews thing coming...

next...
i think Lullaby...
hopefully borders has it...
or maybe Fight Club. seen the movie. now to read the book.

first names shouldn't be sir names...

Dr.Craig Scott or Dr.Scott Craig.
i can NEVER remember which one it is...
i hate that your trying to pass off a first name as a sir name...
and i hate that every time i visit you, you hurt me...
ah well.
i guess dentists are like that...

keep it real, kids.
im laying low this weekend.
im in too much pain to do anything...

feeling hot hot hot!

i went and saw twilight again last night!!!
the cinema was busy again but not as bad as last time..
and i think i enjoyed the movie more the second time around.
edward cullen (not robert pattinson) is still a hottie!
but the girl, kristen stewart, kind of bothers me. i cant quite put my finger on it... something about her annoys me.
and i nearly shed a tear during the movie. the scene where edward and bella are sitting at the piano together and he is playing... is magical!
the boy.
the music.
ah...

it's hot today. like 38 degrees Celsius. which is about 100 in fahrenheit i think..
so hot. i had to work all day but we had the aircon on and it was a very comfortable 21 degrees..

haha wanna hear something funny!?
the six o'clock news is on and i just heard george w. bush is starting to say i his "good-byes" from the presidency..
how sad.. (umm, not.)
and in one of these good-bye speeches he said during his term he made a "few mistakes"... *cough*UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY*cough*
-ah G.W.B. you always know how to make me smile... idiot.

ok, i think i have rambled on for long..
until another time, friends.


oh and matthew hayden retired today.
he listened to me! good boy. you can thank me later.

blah blah blah :)

some things that happened in my world today.

- i woke up early to go for a run before work, but couldn't be bothered dragging my arse out of bed. so i laid there for 45 minutes and listened to folie a deux.. good album, btw. the (shipped) gold standard might be my favourite.
- i worked 7 hours. we weren't busy so the day dragged out and it felt like i worked 17 hours.
- my friend was telling me about this guy she met on the weekend. he seems nice enough. but she just got out of a 5 year relationship to a guy she was engaged to and cheated on her. if this new guys hurts her... there will be hell to pay. but if he makes her happy. then great. :)
- i went to my guy friends house for tea tonight. he made spaghetti. it was delicious.
- i watched the cricket at work today when it was quiet. and i honestly think my 5 year old nephew could do better then matthew hayden. no disrespect, but i think it might be time to hang up the baggy green, mate.
- i lied to my best friends parents about where she was staying tonight... with a boy. tisk tisk.

so im tired tonight that i couldn't be bothered putting thought and effort into this post.
that's my bad.
i'll try again soon.
night. :)

Date night...

I actually went and saw 2 movies last night. Twilight and 20 minutes after that had finished, we saw Yes Man.
And although I LOVE Jim Carrey, and think he is one of the FUNNIEST men alive...
Twilight was the better of the two.
So yes, I finally saw it. I went with my sister and although the cinema was packed and I couldn't get comfy and put my feet up on the seat in front of me, I still enjoyed it.
I didn't get around to reading the book. I wasn't sure if I should because I've heard mixed things about the movie in comparison. But, now that I've seen the movie and know that I like it, I'll read it.
Now, about Robert Pattinson.
Although I can agree that he's not ugly, and that some girls might see him as a "total dreamboat" (I overheard one girl call him this when we were coming out of the cinema...)... He doesn't really do anything for me.
I think the most attractive thing about him is the character he plays and hes love for Bella. and how intense and passionate that love is.
I want love like that.
It sucks that it only happens in the movies...

I also got a kick out of hearing Muse during the baseball scene... AWESOME!

Enjoy the weekend. I'm going to.

So, this is what happened in Vegas last night?!

SO...
This guy, Robbie Maddison is an Aussie and was in Las Vegas for New Years.
And I guess he did some little jump on his motorbike.



This is INSANE!
and Awesome... BUT mostly it's insane.

Well done, friend.

Happy New Year!

Welcome, everyone to 2009!

Last night was UNBELIEVABLE!

My friends and I got to Melbourne at 7.30pm. Went straight to Crown Casino where I put $10 in a pokie machine and won $189 back. Not bad, eh!?

From there we went to Crowns 3^rd story balcony and watched the 9:15pm fireworks, went for a walk around the city, made friends with girls in the loooooooong bathroom lines and then went to the banks of the Yarra to watch the midnight fireworks…

I LOVE FIREWORKS! And they didn’t disappoint me.

I got home at 4:00am and fell straight asleep. Woke up this morning at my friend Amy’s house with no headache, no sick feelings and wonderful memories.

The only bad thing about the night was I dropped my camera around 3:00am when I was trying to take a photo… Luckily I didn’t lose any of my photos from the night.

My birthday is in March. I will just wait till then and ask for a new one…

Enjoy 2009 all!
