They Say What They Say

Hello! I'm home. Home sweet home!

*big happy sigh*

Despite the let down of the last day or so I had a great time in Perth. The weather was just gorgeous the whole time I was there and the city really is very beautiful. I was staying in South Perth, a really pretty part of town just near the Swan River that has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Just what one needs when one is on holiday! I stayed a night out at Rockingham with some other friends where I went swimming and had a day trip to Mandurah; I ate fish and chips and got sun burnt at Cottesloe beach; I got to have lunch the delightful zebra363 and fell in love with Fremantle even though I didn't get to spend much time there. The zoo was fantastic and next time I go to WA I am definitely taking a trip to the Margaret River and up to Shark Bay.

Coming home was a shock to the system. I had a brief moment of disorientation on the plane when I looked up from my book to find Toby Ziegler Richard Schiff on the movie screen and I thought I was suddenly watching an episode of The West Wing instead of some John Cusack movie. But then they brought out our dinner so I fine after that, and the flight attendant who forgot my bottle of water was very sweet and slipped me a freebie water with dessert. However I've gone from 30C days where I could wander around in nothing but a sundress and thongs, to autumn in Melbourne where there is a definite nip in the air and my (lack of) winter wardrobe really needs to be dealt with. It didn't help that work was insanely busy today, or that I have to schelp up to the old home town the next two weekends in a row so I won't get much time to do things like laundry or grocery shopping.

Oh, and after C showed me an episode of Torchwood where Jack and Ianto were, well...

Okay, so maybe now I have a new OTP. Shut UP!

Hi, how are you?!

Hi, how are you?!

I got the laundry hung out but I failed on the dishes front. Instead I've been starting at the new Jared and Jensen that were recently posted at Supernatural Media and watching the fifth season of The West Wing. Poor old Josh just stuffed up and now he's floundering around trying to make amends. It's both funny and heartbreaking.

I think my milk has gone off, even though I've got practically a litre left. I'm not that fussed. I accidentally bought full cream instead of lo-fat the other day and full cream milk always makes me feel slightly ill, plus it wreaks havoc with my asthma.

Hmm, maybe it's time to turn in...

I pooped myself at gym tonight, like I did last night, in an effort to be so worn out that I'd just fall asleep with out much effort by the time I make it to bed. In this heat, though, I don't think it's going to happen, despite the fact that I'm pooped!

How much does CJ Cregg rock my boat? I want to be her when I grow up, no question, because CJ absolutely rocks my boat! And Toby? I have so much love for Toby I am almost bursting with it. Also when Sam left, I almost cried. However Josh matchmaking for Donna leaves a little to be desired, but that's because we all know he's secretly in love with her.

I ♥ The West Wing!

Why did my internet connection spontaneously drop out? I hate it when it does that!

My brains are pooped. My body isn't but my brains are. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Because I've been somewhat Jensen-focused lately (and who wouldn't be?) I feel the need to mix things up a little, so here's a cute picture of Jared with his dogs.

( Awwww, puppies! )

It's really raining. Like, really, really raining. Flooding over the sides of the gutters type rain. It's good to hear.

I am shopping for Madeleine pans on eBay. I'm not quite sure why, especially since I can easily pick one up at the very well stocked kitchenware shop in Station street that's having a 10% off sale at the moment. I just know that I want a Madeleine pan and then I can make Madeleines!

askance is an evol evol woman with far superior technology than mine. She knows why.

*nods*

One of the things I love most about The West Wing is the quality of the guest stars. Sure the regular cast was totally amazing and wonderful and talented, but they also had the most terrific guest starts. And not just the big names, either. Sure there was Laura Dern, Oliver Platt, Matthew Perry, Lily Tomlin who were all perfect and wonderful, and I will forever love Glen Close in The Supremes. Evelyn Baker Lang is who I want to be when I grow up. However, even the smaller bit parts that would show up for one episode, have a heartfelt argument with Toby or Sam or Josh over issues like seat belts and public television, redefining the poverty line and the abolition of the penny were so fantastic, so wonderful and just right for the small yet significant role they played you cannot help but love and admire them.

It's still raining, but not as hard. I hope I have to get the bus to work in the morning. We really could do with a bit more rain.

Good lord I'm spammy tonight!
