I love how I went to sleep super early (10.30pm!!!) and yet still didn't get up any earlier. I woke at like 8am and had I gotten up then, I would have been proud of myself, but alas, I slept in. A lot.
Anyhoo, I just bought another domain name last night. Total impuse buy, but I don't regret it....I don't really have the $ to be doing such things at the moment, but oh well. It'll come in handy.
I'm craving a steak and potato pie with cheese and vegetable samosas with mint sauce. Why should I have to decide? I'm going to get them both.....
Yesterday I was getting upset with myself for never finishing anything...like I have to be working on several stories or scripts at any time. I was thinking about forcing myself to just work on one and not work on the others until this one was finished, but then I realised that I don't wanna be a Nazi. Not yet. I may need to do that, but for now, as long as I'm writing, who cares?
Off to get food!
Happy Birthday to Shay! Meant to post that last night, but Blogger was down. I'd really like to kick the asses of people who got all pissed off and complained when Blogger was down. Um, it's FREE and a damn cool service. So get over yourselves!!!

Today seemed like a really long day. You know those days that seem like they're 36 hous long?
I'm going in hiding this weekend...not just because I'm low on cash and not because there's nothing to do.
This weekend will be dedicated to working on the doco website and to my damn writing.
I saw The Wedding Planner last night--with Ben. We had free advanced screening tix, so why not? Between Matthew's dimples and Jennifer's butt, there was plenty to look forward to. It was sappy. But those dimples get me every time...
I've been checking out graduate programs in Psychology occasionally lately...I'm missing school in a sense. I miss the learning. Not so much the damn exams and papers, but the writing, yes. I know I'll probably get my PhD at some point, if only to make my father have to call me Dr. :)
Once again, my least favourite client at work commented today that he spends more time talking to me than he does to his fiance. Not good.
Anyhoo, I'm off to work on the site a bit. The design colours give me the shits, but they're only temporary....
I just lit some candles for inspiration and I feel guilty because I broke down and went to Starbucks this evening. The evil empire taunted me. Now there's really no need for Starbucks period, particularly not in Sydney where you can find plenty of great coffee (mmmm, Gloria Jeans) but for some reason, when I think Iced Cafe Mocha, my little heart thinks about Starbucks. Of course after feeling the price of one, I think this Starbucks stint will be short-lived. Sigh......yes, after a good 7 months off my coffee habit...I'm back on it, but hopefully only a few cups a week. That's it! No more! Anyway, the coffee better keep me away long enough to get work done tonight!
I'm going to be crap tomorrow at work. Woo-hoo.
Happy birthday to Rachel in Paris!
Good luck to Shay on all his interviews. My fingers are crossed for him. And my toes too! :)

Wow, it's been a loooong time.
The good news is, I am no longer sick. After a fever of 38.8/101/6, I can no longer claim to be hot stuff. Antibiotics are a beautiful thing.
Lots of stuff has been going on. LOTS. Unfortunately, this being a public forum doesn't make this conducive to me revealing all. Sorry, you'll have to e-mail me personally for the dirt.
Anyhoo, tonight a very cool (actually more than one) thing happened and a very Un-cool thing happened.
Cool:
I went to see my first movie by myself. I can't believe I've never done that before. I'm pissed off that I haven't. How fucked up a society are we that most people feel strange going to see a movie by themselves? I was hoping to see this movie with someone but when it didn't work out, they said maybe later in the week and I thought, "Screw that." I wanted to go tonight. So I did. I went to see Traffic, finally, and I loved it. It was inspiring. The cinematography blew me away. The acting was lovely and the story moved well. I've decided to do this movie thing more often. Often, I do enjoy going with people so that we can discuss the movie afterwards, but if you think about it, you can't talk during the movie, so going with someone is neither good nor bad. (Remembering people who talk during movies should be smacked with a vengeance.)
But anyway, it was a good experience.
Un-Cool: Getting out o the movie at 11.30pm and being watched/followed by a creepy guy to my building. He walking towards me as I got to my corner and then stopped when he saw me. I was hesitant to keep going, but where was I gonna go? So I walked to my entrance, turning around to see where he was and he was standing in the middle of the street, watching me. I got freaked and power-walked into my entrance, scampered up the stairs and got inside the first door. Once that closed (locked) I knew i was safe. However, I hadn't checked my mail. So I waited. If it seemed safe I was going to un out and get my mail. But a minute later, the creep wandered down the street (opp. direction of where he was originally going) and he stopped directly across the street from my bldg entrance, lit a cigarette, and just stood there, watching me. I immediately turned around, opened the 2nd door, and rushed inside, not looking back.
I'll get my mail in the morning.
I put the chain on my door for the first time in ages. I'll be keeping an eye out for him.
On a funny note...this guy kept calling for my co-worker at work today and apparently developed a crush on me based on my voice. He got really flirty and when I answered the phone the last time, I asked who it was and he said "the guy who's taking you to dinner...i'll pick you up in a sports car." ummm, yeah. sounds like mid-life crisis to me!
