Zombies, Vampires, and Names.

I learnt an interesting phrase the other day – ‘zombie crush’.  I heard it on skepchick.  It refers to a crush you have on someone for their brains.  I LOLed.  Then I tweeted it.  Luke asked what the opposite would be, if you just fancied someone for their looks/body.  I decided that it would be [...]

Weird Dreams and a Job and Maori Names.

Well, I seem to have accidentally found gainful employment on the West Coast!  I wasn’t really looking, but the people who own the motel next door to my house (who are also my stepsister’s father and stepmother – the Coast is a bit incestuous like that) have just had a receptionist up and leave so [...]

Hair and DVDs and Sunday Theatre. Also, more clothes!

I have been trying to decide for a while whether I should get my hair cut.  Not just trimmed (I do that myself with the First Aid Kit scissors), but cut off to just-longer-than-chin-length.  It’s been that long 2 or 3 times before, mostly when I’ve gotten sick of my long hair and have entreated [...]

Cat names and Spam. And a WTF.

Last night I was patting my cat and remembering a cat I used to know called Mandu (Cat/Kath-mandu, geddit?). This turned into a long conversation with my mum about good pun-names for cats.  We decided that Zinzan would probably be called Atonic if we’d named him with a pun.  Now my pet fantasy is to [...]

Hospital Visits and Names. And Mills and Boon.

Recently I had occasion to be visiting someone in hospital (they are out of hospital and fine now).  The patient was feeling pretty nauseated and the anti-nausea drugs weren’t helping much.  I left the hospital for lunch with my dad and stepmum and as we got in the lift (which was not a Schindler’s Lift, [...]

Prank Calls and a bit of Woo. And Names.

I was at work the other night before any of the other wait staff got there and got a few strange phone calls, asking different questions, some silly, some not so silly.  Because there were 3 or 4 of these, I began to think that maybe a group of people were sitting around at home [...]

Music Monday: Something Right – Westlife

I downloaded this song the other day and it’s SO CATCHY.  And happee.  I was tossing up between this song and another one that I’ve been listening to a lot lately but this one won because of the epic boybandness of the video clip.  Confession:  When I was a tweeny fangirl, I had an epic [...]

Earth Hour and watching stuff and cleaning and a name. Oh and DWTS.

So tonight we had Earth Hour at work.  Trying to serve people their food in the dark aided by only a few candles is not the most fun.  At least I wasn’t wearing a black tshirt this year!  Sadly we also didn’t have glowsticks   We do however have wax drips all over a [...]

Biscuits and the Near-Square Merger. And your opinions on yeast spreads.

All of a sudden, Biscuit Week appears to be upon us!  I am of course referring to Girl Guide Biscuits.  This has been lots of fun for me since I pretty much have sole charge of my unit now, and wasn’t actually around for Biscuit time last year so I’m kind of going off what [...]

Oddments and Endments

OK so I invented that last word.  Hey!  A coinage!  I wonder if it’ll catch on.
I’ve been watching way too many videos and DVDs lately.  But to make up for it I’ve been watching pretty much no television.  Which is actually more due to the fact that there is almost nothing worth watching on television [...]
