Socks

So. I love socks. Brightly coloured ones are my absolute favourites.

And now, I realise, they have a serious purpose.

Oh yes. If ever I get my head stuck between rocks at the beach, I'll be saved by my socks!!

Totally Awesome

Those who know and love me, or even just read this blog, will know that I have a love of all things Whovian.

I also like cake.

So when this came up on CakeWrecks, it simply begged to be posted on this set on inane ramblings I call a blog

Seriously. Check it out. Especially the last one. It is actually a TARDIS cake that is bigger on the inside.

something that bugs me

I just bought Kate Miller Heidke's new album, Curiouser. And there is something that annoys me. Curiouser is sitting around number 3 in the Australian charts at the moment. Everyone is saying how great this 'new' artist is.

Um. No. Actually, she has been around for a few years now. The only reason that she is currently popular and getting airplay is: one of her songs was used on Neighbours.

Ugh. Why does decent Australian talent only get exposure in conjunction with decidedly indecent Australian soap operas?

I like to pay out Americans for the fact they live in a country full of stupid people. Sadly, rather like swine flu, stupidity seems to be a worldwide pandemic...

failings.

I fail at blogging. Also, as I suspected might happen, I fail at being able to read books and work full time simultaneously.

So I am a week or so behind on my reading. It's not entirely my fault. The library took a week to get the book I reserved to me. But I could have gotten it read before now, if I didn't watch so much stinking TV...

But work is good, and interesting, and full of good people. That's about all you're getting from me on the work front, as reading other people's blogs has informed me that if you blog about work, you're liable to get fired. I think that this isn't something I want to have happen.

I also think that last sentence might be a grammatical nightmare. Meh.

I was SO right

You remember when, a few posts ago, I made the comment that now the first of my peers have gotten married, the rest are going to fall like flies?

Well. I was right. There was another engagement announcement today.

Funny thing is, it is a person I spoke to at the other wedding, who commented she was already sick of the 'so when is it going to be your turn' line.

See Garry? I'm not turning into you because of the one wedding I attended. It's because of the ridiculous amount of weddings coming up in the near future...
