BAM! and the dirt is gone. (as am I)

For the purposes of this post, I am assuming that you have all seen the ads for Easy-off BAM!, where the uber-cheesy man says uber-cheesy things about chlorine bleach in a bright pink bottle (the bleach is in the bottle, not the uber-cheesy man.  That would be a much better ad, though).  The first few times I saw that ad I thought it was another one in the ‘home safety’ series.  Like the one where the guy’s up a ladder and trying to sell us paint, then falls off the ladder and lies there twitching on the concrete.  Or the hot-water system one where the guy slips and cracks his head in the shower, or the woman selling muesli bars who trips over her kid’s toys and faceplants in the glass table.  Anyway!  The BAM! ad has a similar level of cheese to those, I kept expecting the man to  spontaneously combust or something.  Sadly now I can’t take the piss out of the ads with as much glee as I did before, coz the stuff actually works.  I have had lots of experience with it in the last couple of days, what with cleaning walls and cupboards and the fridge (sprayed BAM! in the freezer while it was still cold and ended up with BAM! frost).  Then there was the oven.  I came over all Monica, and Mum was exceedingly happy when I asked if I could clean the oven (I just love the way it’s all dirty and then it’s SO clean). 

My room finally got emptied today, so I finished cleaning the walls and vaccumed up 6 years of dead spiders and moths lol.  I took a few pictures too.  I didn’t think it was possible but it actually looked smaller when it was empty.  o.O

Got on the bus at 3pm, ended up sitting next to a girl who had Swine Flu last week.  I was kind of excited, I don’t know anyone who’s had it so that was my first real brush with the phenomenon lol.  Snow everywhere over the Pass, so pretty.  We didn’t stop though, which I was sad about.  I *heart* snow.

And now I am at my dad’s place on the coast.  Have discovered two unwelcome rules already: 1) no running the hot tap.  I assume this means I can’t even use warm water for washing my face at night, a thought I do NOT relish in the middle of winter.  2) no using the computer in ‘public/social areas’ of the house.  This means the dining table (where I usually do my thing at breakfast time) and the loungeroom, presumably even when there is no one else in the room.  This is sad because they are the only two rooms that get any decent sun.  It leaves the TV room and my bedroom (which is frickin freezing, I’m used to being right next to the fire-containing loungeroom).  I am not impressed. *whinge, moan*

On the upside, I had my last night of work last night.  I was DM and Tom Baby was on with me.  Then everyone else that I like came in for a kai or a drink and we ended up sitting around talking about Japanese porn (apparently there’s an anime superhero called Rape Man, who does pretty much what it sounds like he does) until an hour after everyone else had left lol.  It was lots of fun and if any of you guys are reading this I am going to miss working with you!  I will miss Chch in general akshully, I didn’t realise that I liked it until I left.  No more Spotlight 10 minutes away   I will be back soon though!  (Way more Buffy days ahead.  And Holly, don’t think you’re getting away with not having seen Notting Hill!)

I also made my last trip to the supermarket and got served by the cute cashier lol.  I am sad that I will not have anyone to grin winningly at when I go to buy milk now.  I can’t see this place having anyone that cute

I am offski now to read about Lizzie Bennet and zombies, and to listen to Billie (song of the day: ‘Walk of Life’.  Hey! She’s on a bus too! lol)
