They Say What They Say

I was going to watch me some Sports Night today but ended up going to K-Mart where I bought the sixth season of Buffy so my evening has been spent wallowing in angst and vampires instead. I also bought an ironing board cover and some Ferraro Rocher. I'm not sure purchase I like the most. I suspect it might be the ironing board cover.

My essay has inched up to just over 2500 words. Technically I've only got 500 words to go, but I need to talk about best practice a little bit more then move into technologies and implementation issues before I finish, so it may end up being 3500 when I'm done. At least thing time it won't end up a 4600 monster like the last one did, although I did get a HD for it in the end.

Okay, I had it in my mind to google something. I opened a new tab, typed in the address, but by the time I'd gotten to the page I had completely forgotten what I was looking for. Maybe it was my brain, perchance?

You know what's fantastic? Date and banananana muffins, that's what's fantastic. Especially for breakfast with a nice cup of tea.

Meep, I've just realised. Only three weeks until Sports Night Chat! Must to be getting the viewing list organised and reminding people to download Trillian if the haven't done so already.

But really, maybe i'll just go to bed.

Is it wrong that I want fish and chips and beer for dinner tonight?

Season four of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is finally mine! I went up to Northcote Plaza today to buy moisturiser and to beat the heat and I found the illusive season four box set at K-Mart. And best of all, it was on sale so I saved $15! Obviously the wait was meant to be.

*wins at life \L/*

All of a sudden Sunday is a good night for TV with Ugly Betty premiering on channel seven, followed by Grey's Anatomy at 8.30. As well as all that I still have last night's West Wing to watch and I taped How to Steal a Million with Audrey Hepburn when I went out this afternoon. Along with my current Sex and the City marathon and my new Buffy DVDs, I am suddenly very spoiled for choice when it comes to entertainment.

Can someone please tell me why Britney Spears has shaved her head? It's intriguing, yet I can't be bothered googling the reason at this point in time.

And in fanish news, I've decided to give up on House. I'm working late on Wednesday's at the moment and don't usually get home until at least 9.30pm. I've been taping House at 8.30, but frankly it's bored me to tears for a while now so I'm going to replace it with Heroes and see if all it lives up to all the squee.

Meanwhile I'm hanging out until Friday week before I order my West Wing box set. I figure that a) February 23rd is exactly four weeks away from my birthday so I'm not jumping the gun too much, and b) I should probably give Amazon at least that long to get it to me. I just hope I'm not still waiting for it in May. And of course I can't wait for the next (and final) installment of Slings & Arrows to come out on DVD, although I suspect that won't be until it screens in the US, which is soon.

Last night I started trawling around the Sex and the City message board on IMDB. Very. Scary. Place. I'm sure half the contributors think that Carrie, et al, are real, and the other half like to pick fun at the first half for being such weirdos. Plus, most everyone seems to hate Charlotte. I don't know what they'd do to me if they found out that my favourite character is Miranda. Give me the Sports Night board anytime. At least you can never have too much of who is cooler, Casey or Dan?

I still haven't bought season four of Buffy. I kind of forgot that I was looking for it. Maybe I'll drop into JB and buy it when I'm in the city in the morning.

The worst thing about going away for a couple of days and not bring my computer with me is catching up on my flist when I get back.

*skips 200*

My 10 month old niece can do Paul Gross arms. Of course no one in the family aside from myself knows what Paul Gross arms are and they call them hooray arms. I, however, refer to them (in my head) as Paul Gross arms and you have no idea how proud I am to be the aunt of a budding fangirl.

I've survived yet another weekend in the old home town, babysitting the nephew and helping my sister and BiL move into their new house. I worked out last night that I've been up there every week since before Christmas. I think it's the greatest amoubnt of time I've spent there since before I moved to Melbourne.

I have to admit, though, as much as I love hanging out with the family, I'm a little tired of all the driving backwards and forwards that I've been doing, so I'm having an old home town break for the next little while, or at least until my nephew's birthday in early February. It'll be nice to spend the next couple of weekends at home, faffing around at Savers and doing my shopping in Station street instead of struggling through Friday evening traffic and sleeping in the slightly too firm bed in my old room at mum's house.

After nearly dying from the heat last week, it's been raining virtually non-stop all weekend, which is about the best thing ever. Of course it makes driving along the highway slightly scary, but it's nice to see lawns start to become green and puddles forming along the side of the road. Also, I found banannananas for $3.00 a kilo in Melton and I got some very yummy peaches and nectarines from Safeway so my fruit cravings are quite fully satisfied at the moment.

Oh lord, where did the weekend go? At least this week is a short week and the Australia Day holiday has the good grace to fall on Friday this year, which means long weekend! Let's hope there isn't a repeat of last year's unfortunate incident wherein I locked myself out of my flat in 40C heat and had to get my brother to drag his VBL (very big ladder) all the way across town in said heat so I could break and enter my own home.

*checks for spare keys*

I still haven't been able to find the Buffy season 4 DVDs. I tried the K-Mart in the old home town on the weekend, but it only had seasons 5 and 7, and when I decided to stop at the one in Melton on my way home I got there about five minutes after it closed. I really hate buying DVD sets out of order, but I'm beginning to suspect that fate is going to force me to abandon my OCDness over this and get whatever I can find when I find it.

Which reminds me; I left my Doctor Who videos at mum's house. And I may have accidentally introduced the nephew to the Doctor. It's not my fault the DVD remove looks almost exactly the same at the VCR remote!

My car horn is doing odd things. I suspect it has something to do with the alarm system that the car used to have before I bought it. It's very embarrassing when one is making a three point turn in the car park at Safeway and one's car horn spontaneously beeps at innocent bystanders. I really must get that seen to.

BTW, the other day phoebesmum suggested that we might have a Sports Night Six Degrees viewing party sometime this year. What do other people think?

I really must go to bed.

I've just run out of Buffy episodes to watch.

What am I going to do now???

*flails*

*panics*

*grabs the nearest dvd box set*

Ooh, Sex and the City!

Mmm, shoes...
