Weekend Wrapup

• I didn't make it to the Canberra meetup - Thursday night, The Hun informed me some of his friends were coming over for beers at poker, so he could drop me into town at 7pm at the latest and wouldn't be able to pick me up. Eldest Bro and his gf are in Vanuatu, mumsy and dadsy are down the coast and middle bro and youngest bro were boozing it up at some charity thing, leaving me with a $70 cab fare hanging over my head. When mick let me know that he wouldn't be out there until 8:30 at the earliest I got more and more anxious, not really knowing anyone who would be there at 7pm. And so I piked. TJ - I'm so sorry for not letting you know - I'd figured you were too busy with the move and didn't think to say anything. I woulda been hella p!ssed to rock up and find it canceled...

• As of this morning I'm more than 5kg down! That leaves me 7 to drop in the next two months and I'm thinking I'm good for it. To celebrate I had a salad sandwich and a chili tofu sushi roll for lunch followed by a singular Haigh's frog. ROCK ON, WILD CHILD!

• My feet have shrunk a half size to a terribly annoying 8.5 that is not stocked in many places, particularly in synthetics - I tried on four pairs of sexi shoes this morning and could not get a proper fit. WAH.

• I think I have to buy a lock for my mailbox - D'jens supercute earrings I bought still have not arrived. Damn you, Nappy Valley thugs!

• That assignment that I freaked out over? 75%!! You cannot believe how relieved I was to see that. Thanks must go to The Hun who started to sit up with me to cheer me up, my new friend in my tutorial who answered my idiotic questions via FaceBook and to The Student who sent me an electronic slap in the face to wake up to myself.

• As tertiary proof of my winning personality, I am currently also sitting on 17.6/20 for tutorial participation (worth 20% of the final grade). The massive wave of joy I was washed with as a result gave me the courage to ask my tutor the important question - How long did it take you to grow your ponytail? His response - 10 years.

• The Hun and I were planning to see Ratatouille tonight - did you know it's not released until next week? Do you know how much it has been advertised for not even being released yet?! It doesn't really even look that good, but my experience with Pixar is that they never look that good in the ads (see Finding Nemo, Cars and The Incredibles) but they always turn out awesome.

• Gf1, gf2 and I saw No Reservations last night - I won't say it was awesome because it wasn't, but it wasn't THE most terrible film I have seen. The guy was quite hot but should have had a shorter fringe - it was distracting. On the brighter side, Catherine Zeta-Jones got less annoying to me as the movie went on (once it started I was instantly reminded of how much I dislike her for no particular reason at all) and it stars the young girl from that movie with the family that take the young girl to the dancing competition?!

• If anyone is at all curious about attending Club Med Body and Soul at Lindeman Island this year, please Please PLEASE send me an email?!

• Happy Fathers to all you dads for tmr!
