Little things

I went with my dad to Hungry Jacks tonight to get a burger & fries. Nothing special in that, but for the first time I noticed my dad folds up the burger wrapping after finishing with it, the same way I do (or would that be I fold up the wrapping the same way he does?). We put the used napkins in the middle and then fold the wrapping into thirds and put it in the empty chip/fries container.

I guess you do follow your parents example even if you don't consciously realise it.

Pillow Stuffing

One of my more annoying peeves is flat pillows. So I have the habit of stuffing two flat pillows in the one pillow case, and it pretty much will give me one new fluffy thick pillow.

Why though can they not make pillows that will not go as flat as a tack after only a weeks use? I cannot afford to keep replacing pillows. Pillows ain't cheap and I have better things to spend my money on.

So I had to change pillowcases today since I was changing my bed linen and the old pillowcases needed to be washed. I decided to try and stuff two flat pillows in a smaller pillowcase to get me an even more thicker pillow. It worked but it took forever just to stuff correctly. It cannot be to lumpy, nor can the pillows be to out of sinc and thus you have two levels in the one pillow.

I think I have way to many pillows on my bed to begin with. I mean I throw the vast majority on the floor when I go to bed at night. Most of them are just for show when I make my bed in the morning, and it isn't like I direct guests into my room just to show off my bed and pillows. But I am just use to having a stack of pillows on my bed during the day, even if I throw all but one or two off in the evening.

I just don't like sleeping raised up on a bunch of pillows. It is bad enough when I had gastro a few times and had to sleep like that for obvious reasons, but sleeping raised up normally just feels so weird and I definately prefer just the one or two pillows that support my neck and shoulders when sleeping, but that is really it.

My Room 101

I am such a girl. Yet I am a bleeding heart one at boot. A motherfucking huge spider crawled into the house today when I opened the patio door and for the next five minutes was I having a stress attack over the large spider that crawled into the house (though pretty much stayed in the corner next to the door and the bookcase).

Now I could've just gotten the bug spray and killed it, but I couldn't do that, the spider had done nothing wrong. So I got a 50cm (20 inch) quilting ruler (you know the big thick clear plastic ones) and poked it until it went back outside then I shut the door and had a nervous breakdown.

Gah. I am such a chicken.

Zulo! Kaka zaharra! Putasemea! Zure ama emagaldua da!

There is an annoying lack of Basque-English translations sites out there, I did find a few Basque-French ones, but anybody that knows me, knows I do no like having to read French! (yet it is, strangly enough, my strongest discipline), but still! Kaka zaharra!

Admittedly the best thing about English is that it is the child of a whore and a bastard - half the European languages are semi-familiar 'cause we nicked half our words, rules, grammar and structure from everybody else.

Of course Basque being related to no other known language on the face of the planet means, I cannot even do that!

Dancing Thunder

Lemme just say this once, and I will never repeat it again... Ballroom Dancing makes me... HOT!

The final for "Dancing with the Stars" was on tonight and Tom and Kym won! And not just that, but received the shows first 40/40 for their freestyle dance! Ian and Natalie where really good tonight, and while Ian can't dance, he does come across as the sweetest person, so I was happy he got a real big vindication tonight by performing so well! Still think Holly would've been better, but I really did enjoy Ian alot.

But Tom. OMG Man! The guy needs to continue with his dancing! He is that good! Okay he may not ever compete at worlds, but he definately is quiet talented all the same. Who would've thought a surfie would of been a fucking BRILLIANT ballroom dancer?

Uncle Time

My mother just informed me that my brother's and his fiancée are preggers. Then she told me off for not immediately sounding excited and crazy for it.

*sigh*

I just don't know I feel they are to young, they are only 21, they where not planning it obviously, but still... Heck I feel like I am to young to be an Uncle at 25. I know I should be happy and excited, but I just don't feel it...

Dreams & Games

EB Games at Werribee Plaza where having a big sale and I picked up "Sim City 4" and "The Simpsons: Hit and Run" for $25 each. Kick ass. I might go commando soon if I get addicted to the games.

I had the weirdest freakiest dream last night. Other then the fact it took place at the Tax office because it was April 15th and everybody was filing their tax forms (except me, for some reason I wasn't going to). But it wasn't any old person filing their taxes, it was historical figures - Kublai Khan, Oscar Wilde, Madonna et cetera.

When I dream, I certainly go for the freak factor.

Also the dream did involve a hunky guy, but he wanted to dress up as Paris Hilton, so Lucy Lui did his hair, but he ended up looking like Denise Crosby.

Okay... that is enough crack for now...

Ahoy Hoy Again

I put the blame squarely at Todd's feet. Darn you young man!

I am now addicted to the online version of "Press Your Luck!. Especially when Todd knows I am a Wheel of Fortune man myself!

Though I have to say I have been really watching "The Price is Right" lately. Gosh, it is addictive. Especially yelling at the various broomhilde's that clearly do not realise the electronic package is CLEARLY more expensive then the scooter and the dishwasher by at least several thousand dollars! We ain't talking about a 13 inch TV here folks!
