Leprechaun Land

Tonight we’re spending our second night in The ‘Old Monastery’ Hostel in a little town called Letterfrack (which makes me lol for no reason I can discern).  There are 3 cats and two kittens, and it’s quite a family sort of feel – everyone hangs out in the common room and there’s no tv so [...]

Music Monday: ‘Affirmation’ – Savage Garden

This song has been on my meaning-to-MM list for forever.  I recently changed my ‘About Me’ section on this blog (there are now only 25 things lol, not 100), but one of the things on the list was that I agreed with almost all the lyrics of this song.  I wrote that about 18 months [...]

A Job! And Baking. And a funny movie.

So I got the job that I interviewed for on Monday.  I’m pretty stoked, but not overly surprised.  Which makesme sound a bit full of myself, but I’ve worked there before doing the exact same job that I’ve applied for, most of management has known me since I was 13 or 14, and I know the [...]

Netball. And other stuff (mostly grumbles).

I guess it wouldn’t take a genius to work out that I am not happy about the netball results thus far!  We lost the first game on Monday versus the World 7 by 4 goals, and managed to top even that lacklustre performance with a 9 goal loss tonight.  It was just infuriating, watching the [...]

Christchurch and a Documentary.

No Music Monday this week!  I was in Christchurch and couldn’t be arsed taking my computer coz I didn’t know if there’d be internet rah rah rah.  Wouldn’t’ve had time anyway, was only there for one full day (yesterday) and had an epic number of things to do.  Bought Brownie stuff (for future reference, you [...]

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 [...]

Music Monday: ‘Warm Whispers’ – Missy Higgins

It took me ages to decide on this week’s Music Monday.  I did fight the urge to do another Billie Piper number though lol.  However I also deviated from my list again.  None of them jumped out at me, and since I was in a Missy kinda mood today (this is usually when I’m in [...]

Fangirl Moment.

So I ended up going into town tonight, with Tom Baby and his awesome girlfriend (who I will refer to as F because I don’t know if she wants me sharing her name on the web lol). Anyway, we were at one place and F was talking to a friend of hers and TB [...]

Result! Plus an actor and a weird ad.

I went to the netball today.  Surrounded by fans of the other team, I yelled and banged my thundersticks together, but it didn’t seem to be helping for most of the game!  The Steel just weren’t getting ahead.  Then, with less than a minute to go, they pulled ahead by one, and kept it there [...]

Music Monday: Island of Lost Souls – Blondie.

I *heart* Blondie.  The first time I remember having a favourite song (that was not off ‘Songtime With Ailsa’ was when I was about 5.  That song was ‘The Tide is High’ by Blondie.  I didn’t pick that song for today because the song that I did pick is more fun, and you’re less likely [...]
