I just found this absolutely exquisite photo of a young Callum Keith Rennie on Tumblr. Stunned, I am. Stunned.

nothing to write home about
My week has been fairly blah. Not unpleasant or anything, just boring. Work continues along apace, mother is doing well for a change and I've made it to gym twice, which is more than I've done in a long time. I have been rather tired, but going to bed at 9.30 last night helped a lot and so far I haven't been rained on as I've ridden my bike home at night. Small victories, eh?
However Supernatural continues to delight ( cut for spoilers )
I've also caught up on Castle and might have a look at Eastwick if only for Paul Gross running around being charmingly evol as only Paul Gross can be.
Oh, and apparently Katee Sackhoff wouldn't mind being stranded on a desert island with Callum. Can't say I blame her, really.
And how's this for a small world? Turns out the father of one of my staff is a guy I used to work with at Darebin Libraries over ten years ago. I had no idea until I mentioned to her in passing that I used to be a casual at Preston library and then she went, "Then you must know my dad!" Talk about a blast from the past!
LJ just went weird on me and I thought it had eaten my entire post. It's back now but I've forgotten what else i was going to say. Mustn't have been that important after all.

love is in the air
I've just stumbled across the Vintage Pattern Lending Library. I think I'm in love, especially with these. I want a job there NOW!
I'm also in love with the cake I made to take into work for my birthday. Yes, I know, one shouldn't be expected to make one's own birthday cake. However it seems to be a tradition amongst the library fraternity in Australia to supply your own cake on the big day. I've done it with every library I've worked in it would seem odd to not be baking my heart out before or on the day in question. This year my birthday treat for the gang was a chocolate and hazelnut Tyroler cake, made extra special through the use of gluten-free flour to accommodate my colleague who has Coeliac disease. Word to the wise; like most cakes involving chocolate it's even better when it's a couple of days old and has had the chance to mature for a while. OMG, yum!
I'm not so much in love with work at the moment. Sometimes being a boss is hard and I have new found respect for those in charge when, on a daily basis, they are confronted with the neuroses of others and they can't say a thing because it would be high unprofessional, not to mention just plain rude.
Mostly, though, I'm in love with ( this: )
Need I say more?

inquiring minds want to know
Wendy Crewson and Hugh Dillon are currently on my TV screen in Flashpoint. I wonder if they chatted about kissing Callum between takes?

dressed to thrill
I've just spent a very satisfying thirty minutes going through a box of course notes and journals articles that I kept as I was doing my masters and throwing out pretty much everything. I hadn't looked at most of it since I finished the subjects it was associated with and aside from the few assignments I managed to get back after they were assessed, I really needed none of it. If anyone goes rummaging through our recycling bin over the next couple of days, I'm sure they're going to wonder why it's full of recordkeeping standards, notes on metadata and journal articles about knowledge management. However it's very satisfying to rid your life of clutter and if I have any new year's resolutions at all, one of them is to throw out or give away the things I really don't need and/or use and make sure the rest of my possessions are properly stored and organised.
Yesterday Best Work Friend and I went to see The Golden Age Of Couture: Paris & London 1947-57 at the Bendigo Art Gallery and I tell you, I was in fashion heaven! It is probably one of the best costume exhibitions I have ever seen, and it was all I could do not to leap into the displays and start undressing the models so I could find how the clothes were made. As it is both BWF and I made a spectacle of ourselves as we crouched on the floor so we could see under the hems of some of the dresses. The little old ladies reminiscing about the frock they wore to a dance back in 1955 were not amused, but I saw underneath an original Dior Bar suit, the one that caused all the fuss back in 1947 when he launched the New Look!!! There were also several gowns worn by the Queen and Princess Margaret, and oh my didn't Margaret Rose have a tiny waist? But not, I'm afraid to say, as tiny as that of Margot Fonteyn whose black silk Dior cocktail dress is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Also heavily featured were Balenciaga, Givenchy, Balmain and Hartnell, of course, Jacques Fath and Hardy Amies. There were evening gowns, cocktail dresses, smart suits for both town and country, hats, shoes and gloves, underpinnings and design notes. I loved it, every bit of it, and it really makes me wish I'd studied materials conservation instead of information management. I am definitely going again before it finishes in March, definitely!
In other news, I have finally seen Tin Man which screened on Aussie TV this weekend. I must say that while I loved all the CKR screen time, as usual I watched with 'Oh Callum, why must you always play the bad guy?' firmly stuck in my head. I've also been dipping into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

So tell me, what are you guys up to?

rock me
I was going to make this witty post about work and life and such, but now I can't be bothered and I've forgotten most of what I wanted to write about about anyway.
*le sigh*
I'm pretty much buried under work at the moment, but I only have two and a half weeks to go and then I'm on holiday until after the new year, woot! This of course means I very little time to do things like go Christmas shopping, but I do intend to knock the cards over over the weekend. therefore, if you haven't already provided your details so that you can be a recipent of a card from down under, over here, speak now or forever hold your peace.
There was no Supernatural on my TV this week and then NCIS went and ripped my heart out tonight *wiibles* However Lew Ahsby completely rocked my world the other day and now I'm contemplating a 'Five People Lew Slept With and One He Didn't' type of fic, featuring a plethora of CKR's characters just because I think it'd be funky and kinda hot. I also watched a reasonably gripping episode of CSI last night and am toying with the idea of a mini West Wing marathon. I could use me some Josh and Donna banter right about now.
I seem to have lost my sewing mojo. Everything I touch turns to shite and I have all this fabric that I'm afraid to cut out lest I ruin it or chose a pattern that refuses to work. Doesn't the universe realise that I need some new summer frocks???
Mmm, bed time...
