Supernatural Transcript: All Hell Breaks Loose - Sam's Death Scene

Disclaimer: I do not own, or claim to own any part of Supernatural, it's characters or scripts. I am just a fan that thoroughly enjoys everything about the show, and wanted to break down my favourite scene in the series (so far... I am starting from the beginning again!) in detail, as if it were written for a novel. Focussing on the emotions, the heartache and thoughts of all the characters - going into more detail than what you see on the screen. I absolutely adore the bond between Dean and Sam as brothers - Dean's protection over his little brother just makes me all smooshy inside! Love it!!!
For pure 'fan' entertainment purposes only! Enjoy!

Original scripts by the writers of Supernatural - not me!


ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE: PART 1 - Sam's Death


His teeth gritting past the sharp pain in his side, Sam slowly raised the metal rod over his head, as he stood over Jake, who was lying motionless and unconscious on the ground. 



It would be easy, Sam told himself. One quick motion, and it would all be over. The anger surged up through Sam's arm as he took aim to drive the splint straight through Jake's heart.
Then, Sam paused.
It wasn't worth it. This whole thing wasn't worth killing another human being over, no matter what was at stake here. It wasn't worth giving 'him' what he wanted.
Sam sighed, lowered the blade and took a step back.

At that moment, out of the silence, Sam heard something. A person calling, off in the distance.
“...Sam!”
Sam frowned and wondered if he had heard right. He turned back up the main street, looking in the direction that the voice came from. Was it...?



At the end of the stretch of ratty old buildings that lined the outskirts of the town, Sam saw two figures appear out of the evening mist, making their way towards him.
Sam could not believe his eyes.
It was Dean. His brother Dean, and Bobby. Sam breathed a huge sigh of relief.
“Dean!” he called, his voice a mix of relief and exhaustion. He slowly started to make his way up towards them, clutching at his side, though oblivious to the all of the pain he had just endured. That really didn't matter right now.

 
Dean, who was flicking across each of the buildings systematically with his torch, turned at the sound of his brother’s voice. He squinted as he searched through the darkness. Finally, he landed on him. He sighed.
Sam was alive. Everything was going to be ok.

As Dean began walking towards his brother, his face suddenly fell when he saw a dark figure rise up out of the shadows, right behind Sam. Dean saw straight away that it was holding a sharp hunting knife.
“Sam....LOOK OUT!!!!!” Dean screamed, breaking into a run, but Sam didn't even have a chance to register what was happening.


 
In an instant, Jake had rammed the blade deep into Sam's back, ripping his flesh open and severing his spine. Sam jolted forward, the white hot pain piercing him through his body... his face screwed up in agony and surprise.
“No!!!!!” Dean screamed, pelting across the compound. But he was too late.

Jake saw Dean and Bobby running at him, and coldly yanked the blade out of Sam's back, turning and disappearing up the street. Bobby tore after him, hot on his tails – his gun cocked ready to fire. They both vanished into the shadows… then all went quiet.
Sam's stood unsteady for a moment, then collapsed onto his knees, his blood spilling across the dusty floor at an alarming pace.

Dean immediately dropped to the ground and caught Sam in his arms before he fell forward. Grabbing him by his jacket, Dean put his weight quickly under Sam’s body, hoisting him up and holding him around the shoulders. Already Dean could see that Sam was losing focus, his head was slumped forward and hints of blood had started to appear at the sides of his mouth.


 
“Sam, hey... hey come here...” Dean said gently. “Let me look at you...”
He pulled his body against Sam’s and reached behind him to inspect the stab wound. He was hoping for any chance that it might be ok. But as he touched the spot in Sam’s back, and his hand was instantly drenched in blood, it confirmed his worst fears.


Dean swallowed back the sick feeling that shot through his stomach. He wasn’t prepared for this, for what was about to happen. He turned back and sat in front of Sam, holding his little brother’s face firmly between his hands.
“Hey look at me, Sam. It’s not even that bad…” he tried to sound strong, but his voice was shaking. “It’s not even that bad, alright? Sammy?”
Sam looked at him, unable to speak, and his eyes flickered closed. Dean could feel his brother’s weight starting to sink – he was losing strength fast.
“Sam!” Dean shook him gently, his heart pounding. This wasn't going to happen, not yet.


 
“Listen to me,” Dean said. “We’re going to patch you up, ok? You’ll be as good as new. I’m gonna take care of you, ok?” He sweeped Sam’s hair off his face, looking straight into his eyes, desperate for any kind of reaction. Sam was struggling to stay conscious.


“I’ve got you, because… that’s my job, right?” Dean tried to crack a smile, “watching after my… pain in the ass little brother…” Sam looked at him wearily for one last moment, then closed his eyes. His head went heavy in Dean’s hands.



 “Sam?... Sam?”
Sam was quiet. Dean's heart jumped up into his throat.
“Sam?! Sammy?!!”
But it was too late.
Sam was gone.
Dean sat there, stunned, with his brother's face still held between his hands. This couldn't happen. Not this way. Not to his little brother... not after everything they've been through....
“No.... no no no no no... oh come on....oh god…” Choking back sobs, Dean grabbed Sam and pulled his lifeless body against his. He sat in the blood drenched dirt, cradling his brother in his arms, tears flowing down his face as the reality sunk in ­–
He was now alone in the world.


 

 “SAM!”

06/10/11 - Umbrellas are GREAT inventions, but...

Mood: Full of tea. And guilt. I ate 4 wonderfully greasy slices of Pizza Capers BBQ Bonanza for lunch today. My boss insisted! He bought it. And told me to eat it. Well, ok that's a lie. He asked would I like pizza for lunch. And I happened to say yes. Did I think he was going to offer to buy it? No! It just happened to find itself in my mouth after that. Four times.
My eating plan is out the WINDOW for the week - booooooooo. I was doing so well! Yes, ladies and gentlemen. For the moment I am obsessed with trying to look amazing-er. 

See, this is my plan to look amazing and get healthy....er:
1. Eat a big breakfast
2. Eat no lunch. I sit all day so I have no energy expendiature really. Just brain expendature. How do you spell expendicha?
3. Drink a shyte load of water over the day... flush out toxins and all that crap.
3. Eat a whopper dinner.

Yes, yes. I know all you 'food buffs' may be cringing at this plan right now. I know you're not really supposed to eat a big dinner. Or are you? Or are you just supposed to graze over the day and have no big meals at all?
WHATEVER I say. I am cruising along to my own thought for food (get what I just did that? Amazing...). I am happy doing it. I am losing those few extra flabby kilos I was desperately trying to shake. GO YOU KILOS GO!

And I didn't walk this morning either. Bloody rain. Bloody guilt. Fatty pants Thursday today!

I did play squash on Wednesday though. That's something!

Eating: I have avoided any other lumpy edible substance today after the pizza episode. Clogged arteries and guilt has kept me full today! 
It was a mighty fine 4 slices of grease heaven though, I'll give it that.
Bacon, pepperoni, amazing woody-smokey BBQ sauce, onions and some other unidentifiable things that tasted good.

Would you believe I've also had homemade pizzas for tea the last 2 nights in a row as well? HA! They were healthy. They had avocado on them! And vegetables n stuff... ah who am I kidding?

And this weekend - joy!! A binge fest full of drinking, boozing, sloshing it up.... CAN'T WAIT! Screw this week. I've blown it pretty much anyway. I just ate a KitKat too with my tea.

Ok, let's write this week off. Start fresh next week!

Friend Stacey's birthday celebrations this weekend. We are heading up the bootiful Sunshine Coast for a afternoon and night of frivilous delights (see... see what I just did there too? Awesome...). Cruising the pub and club scene of Mooloolabah, should be veeeeeeeeery interesting.


Drinking: Hmm, I seem to be jumping ahead of the questions today, no? Nuff said. I've drunk tea. I WILL be drinking an assortment of alcoholic goodies come Saturday. And expelling most of it from my body on Sunday.

Watching: Wanting to watch nothing other than SUPERNATURAL at any given moment of spare time. Utterly obsessed with them at the moment... I mean, it. The show, yes. Not the 2 amazingly handsome, drop dead sexy devils that headline it. Nah, nothing to do with those two at all. I keep spoiling things by doing stupid things like adding Supernatural to my Facebook 'Likes' and getting all sorts of picture and news spoilers when I'm only 2 seasons in of 5. WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF???? I know I don't want to ruin it, but yet here I am, spoiling it. Sod it. 

Listening to: The raining evening descending. And hungry poo fluffs. They attacking their newspaper bedding in protest because I'm not doing anything productive like FEEDING THEM. OH MY GOD I AM THE WORST PARENT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Says they.

They can wait. I have too much to write and I'm on a roll.

Why am I doing this to myself really? I've just spend the last 2 hours at work, working solidly, staring at my computer, completing work for a client who is looking in over my shoulder. Not hard work, by any means, but I didn't get a break in all that time. And usually I give my eyes a wee rest after 30mins or so. Not this afternoon. They say computers don't wreck your eyesight? I beg to differ sir! I came out the other end, blurry eyed and struggling to see past our shop door. Eeep. Yucky computers. Why do I love using you so?

So, you'd think I'd get home and do something much more easier on my eyes. Like, watching TV, right? Nope. Don't laugh, I was trying to be sarcastic, but it's hard to convey emotion on this thing sometimes....

Oh wait... oh bugger it I couldn't be arsed finding an animated emoticon right now.

*gets motivated and inserts charming animated 'sarcastic' emoticon*

There. Doesn't work as well though, do it? Ok fine fine I found it.


Satisfying?

Just finished: Cranking the oven for our delicious 'Lamb Tucker Bags' for tea. Lamb mince, dianne sauce, rosemary I think... all wrapped up in pastry in a sweet little bag thingy. Delish! I shall make them and they shall be yummy. And I shall make some corn. And, and brocolli.

Gee writing on blogs are way better than twitter and facebook. I can so much more off my chest and it's unlikely that anyone is going to read it! Perfect! Oh wait, isn't that what people do on Facebook now...

After this, I'm going to: feed the fluff stuffies and get arse off computer. Looks bad. I feel bad.

Some random notes I wanted to mention:


  • I love umbrellas up until the point when you need to de-umbrella and get in your car. This is such a fruitless exercise that you end up getting just as wet if you had no umbrella at all. It's always such a frantic moment... "ahh! Get the door open.... AHH!!! Get the umbrella down and in... AHH!!! IT'S GOING ALL DOWN MY ARM!!! OMG I'M GETTING MY HAIR WET... my BAG is getting wet, arghhhhh!!! GET IN GET IN GET IIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!! OMG THE DOOR IS STUCK WITH THE UMBRELLA IN IT!!! GOD HELP MEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
  • My Garfield cup, with all the characters dressed up as the Seinfeld characters, is virtually indestructible. *Touch wood* It's copyright dates back to... 1996. I've had the cup for THAT long. It's my prized tea cup. Along with my 'GarTrek' cup. Where they're all spoofing Star Trek. Heart it heaps.
  • My kitchen light isn't working at all. It's amazing how annoying it is not to have a kitchen light. Luckily I have the range hood light - saviour! But it's like frigging camping, I swear...
  • Why, when you need to reach over something to reach something almost OUT of reach, it's easier to stand on one foot and not two? I did it this afternoon and pondered the thought. But that's as far as I went, I'm putting it out there isntead.
  • I'm about to score an iPhone as a WORK phone. I am so uberly chuffed it's ridiculous. ANGRY BIRDS HERE WE COME!!!
And that, my facebook friends, is about it. Time to rest my eyes and watch some flickering TV show.

RIP Steve Jobs, you did an amazing one. iSad.

23/09/11 - Home alone, with Mr Gusto Vino

Mood: If you couldn't tell.... fellow chain facebook followers... I am home alone. With nothing else but wine and the computer to keep me company on a Friday night. Boo bloody hoo. Well... until 8pm at least, when Mr Harris comes home. It wouldn't be so bad if I got home at 5:30pm like I usually do. But today, as I went to design school, I get home early... at like 4pm. Yay, but semi nay... as I have no one to play with. Just me and the wine. I just uploaded a pile of photos to facebook, after wiping all of my 50-something albums. I find it fun adding the captions, that's the best bit. I get a kick of saying to everyone HEY! LOOK AT WHAT I'VE DONE. SEE?? SEE?????? A bit egotistical I know. Ok, very ecotistical. I don't care. I'm sure that's everyone elses aim that adds photos to Facebook. I like putting photos up that I know my friends will eventually find and get excited over seeing. And comment on. I'm such a frickin' facebook sucker!!! ITS WHY WE ALL DO IT. RIGHT? RIGHT????????

Eating: Last thing I ate, was fresh avocado on fresh bakery bread (I went to the bakery before I hit First Choice... on my Friday arvo run...), toasted bread, drizzled with olive oil, topped with the avo... then freshly cracked pepper and salt on top. Simple, yes. Delicious. HELL YES. Eaten on the patio in amongst my plants and sunshine. JOY!!!

Drinking: A $5 Vino Gusto Rose... got the Treminar Riesling ALSO for $5. $10 deal. It's not half bad! I wish I could splurge on a bit-more-expensive vino... but meh! It does the same job. It TASTES really good! I msged my Dad and told him it was like a red chardonnay. Not overly sweet, but mildly acidic. Red chardonnay? Why hasn't anyone created this yet??

Watching: Listening, behind my back... to That 70's Show. Canned laughter. Should really be watching it rather than bludging around online. But typing is more productive I find.

Listening to: Again... the TV... behind my back. When Paulie gets home we'll get the SuperNatural cranking!!!! AIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! HOT GHOST HUNTERS!!!!!!!!!!! I am still debating which one I prefer. I think I've gravitating more towards Dean. He's a hot head, and not very emotional. But he's so gorgeous. I love the ... and what friend Gail Bowers states.... 'vagina episodes', where he needs to save his brother, or visa versa... and it's all emotional and heroic. LOVE IT!!! One more episode tonight. And Paul went to JB HiFI to get us the next few seasons, with their FANTASTIC 3 for the price of 2 deal. MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* EDIT. Paul just called. The 3 for 2 deal finished. Bollocks. He just got one season. Bloody balls.
** Double edit. Friend Stacey just informed me that I'm retarded and spelt Gale's name wrong. OOPSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!


Just finished: Uploading photos to Facebook. What a completely unproductive thing to do. I could have done dishes. I could have put my washing away. Eff it. It's Friday. I can be lazy.

After this, I'm going to: feed the fluff stuffies and heat up my Fragrant Thai Green Curry. It has that hint of coriander in it. SPOILER. It's pretty peppy too. BOOOOO!!! Don't get Kantong Green Curry. It's ok, but not morish like most of my other dinners.... :(

One wish for the day:
That I could have transported myself to Dad's Beer Garden and enjoyed an afternoon/sunset sipping wine in the sun, with my Dadsy and whoever else wanted to join in. It really is an awesome place to be :)

And now... I must refill my glass, and let the evening roll on in marvellous Friday Fashion....

Happy weekend everyone!!

23/05/11: Pardora tattoos

Mood: Hungry for sweets, but know I must resist...

The pants are slowly getting tighter - damn that persistent poke to my self consciousness. YES. Yes. Body, I am aware, shutup please. I do know that I am not as unfat as I used to be. I never admit to being a skinny girl. Well fed, yes. I'm sure a lot of us can relate to that. Good food is too good to pass up. Creamy pasta? Gimme. Sweet chunky chocolate chip cookies homemade. Um. Bring it on in wheelbarrowfuls please. Anyway, I digress slightly. My aim tonight at 6:30pm is to do a small exercise routine in the comfort of my own artroom (upstairs, away from prying Mr Harris snoop-doggy-dogness...). Situps, pushups (though seeing as I can only do 3 that won't last long), thigh and butt crunches and lower back strengthening. Drawing it all from the recent yoga and pilates classes I have been doing at the gym. At the time I thought "man, this would be easy to do at home, and I need it cause the arms are beginning to bingo-wing... ooh downward dog..."

The question is... can I get off my lazy arse, gather what little self discipline I have together, in the rainy blithering cold evening, and get myself through half an hour of personal, self driven muscle stuff?

Watch this space and find out I guess?

Eating: With my mind? The last of the Lindt balls in the cupboard. With my mouth? Jack shizen. Boo hoo. Pork chops for tea though, with yummy carb-swelling spud, brocolli, corn and BAKED BEANS. Yup. Can't have my spud without baked beans. And drenched in gravy. Ooooh damn I should have reminded Mr Harris to get dinner rolls... so I can drench them in butter, gravy and meat shards.....


Drinking: Hot hot tea cause my house is cold cold cold. And our mini heater fan thingy blows dust around the house, causing coughing fits to people within distance. Not nice. So we suffer. With ugg boots, blankies, tracky pants, and our lurrrrrrve. Lots of heart warming lurve between a husband and wife. 
 
Are you still there? I was just kidding really. 

Watching: Nothing right now, but new Big Bang Theory on tonight - whoop whoop!

Watched this AWESOME Japanese game show last night on SBS, they played 2 similar shows in a row. It was like Wipeout.. .but with super fit ninja style people that can do ANYTHING physical. The obstacle courses were MENTAL!!
The second show was an obstacle course for people to get through... but only walking on stilts. Yup. There were conveyor belts, wobbling platforms, mountains, tiny stepping stones about the width of the stilt itself. And these guys were doing it, easily, and fast. WTF??? No lives people, no lives!
 
Listening to: Drippy relaxation of the rain, and not much else. Whirring of the fish tank, tapping of the keys. Piggies will be singing for their supper soon though.... WHEE WHEE WHEE!!


Just finished: Work. Buggered but not stressed, which is the sign of a good day. Lots of artwork happening so Katy is stoked stoked stoked! Go away shop people, let me do my art! MEH! Yeah! MEH!!!! *raspberry* Mark wants me to get a qualification in graphic design. HELLS YES I SAY. I need to learn a bit more about the general principles of graphic design, right now I'm winging it. As successful as this is proving to be, I would rest easier knowing I've got a qualification under me belt. We'll see how that pans out.

Oop. V8 motor. Mr Harris is home! MAKE ME DINNER! Please...

After this, I'm going to: feed the fluff stuffies and do... my workout. Bleh...

One wish for the day:
That I didn't have to do my workout. But I have to. Fab is taunting me... waaah....


I came up with a great idea today.

Instead of collecting the pandora bracelet pendants... get a tiny little tattoo symbol down your back, or arm. Simple one colour tattoos, and simplish similiar styled designs in a straight line... I reckon that would look really neat!

Example tats:
- graduation: cap with tassles
- new baby: girl or boy symbol
- new pet: dog paw print
- holiday: eiffel tower
- wedding: 2 rings

Hehe. I like it. Maybe more symbolic images, so they're more special and less obvious? 

But not big, just about 1cm x 1cm. For those of you that like tattoos of course.

01/03/11: Pinch and a bunch!

Mood: I am disheartened. I weighed myself 2 nights ago, and for the first time in my life I have tipped over 65kg. Yup, it's out there. I cannot believe it. It's always been 63... 62...wavering... lowering... steadying.... low 64's... all ok. But somewhere along the line I've gone too far. Yikes! That's a huge shock to the system. And now since it's happened all I can do is look in the mirror and 'feel' fat... I've had this nasty little 'pudge' all day. Though it's not that noticeable I'm sure. But my comfy shorts had to be 'zip released' last night while I was watching the Oscars. Oh crap. It's happening. I've hit 25 and now the weight is starting to pack on. All that lovely chocolate that I could get away with, all the sweeties, the muffins...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Looks like I'm going to have to be a 'food watcher' now. Sh!t. Sad faces.

Eating: Ironically, I just narfed down one of the last pieces of my amazing caramel marshmellow rice bubble slice, with a layer of thick, cold, hard chocolate on top. Yup, I feel soooo guilty. And I'm totally kicking into gear with this 'stop all sweets' kick cause I got 1kg fatter. Totes, already.

Sneeze.

Drinking: nothing fun

Watching: At the moment, I am watching 'Bewitched' on Go! as I blog. It's better than 'I Dream of Genie'. Something just sounded like Lex on Jurassic Park when the Raptor sees her in the mirror and starts charging at her, and she lets out that awesome scream. It just happened again. It's my neighbours.

I pulled up to home this afternoon to a massive removal truck outside my next door neighbours house. Um. Are they moving? Please tell me they are, otherwise that's just cruel. To me. If they are chuffing off, that will be an end (well, depending on incoming neighbours...), the cigarette smoke wafting in our house at 7am in the morning, the swearing at the young children who will probably end up running away from home, getting messed up in drugs and basically hating their parents like poison when they turn 14. The whinging whining little baby who wails so unnecessarily for periods of up to half an hour - only to have the Dad scream abuse at her and have her cry more. Ugh. Such doting parents.... OMG Seinfeld just came on!!! STOKED!!!!

Change topic...
 
Listening to: Canned laughter.

HEY! I just realised I'm missing a section... where is the 'Just Finished?'... I deleted it. Oopths!

Here we go...


Just finished: Eating my slice and watching Bewitched. And finished work. Busy yet unproductive day. How annoying.

After this, I'm going to: feed the mini poop machines, get into pilates gear and head off to pilates.

One wish for the day:
That I was back to 63kg. Have been feeling flabby as well as bloaty. Oh joy. Wahhhhhhh....

 "Idiot on the Road" moment: none today. All was well!

28/02/11: Shutup SHUTUP SHUUUT UUUUP!!!!

Every media outlet. About the Oscars. Internet speshally. Stopit. For godsakes some of us actually want to be pathetic (for once) and waste an entire evening watching this addictive crap tonight on TV... yes yes, this year that is me. I am dedicating a whole evening to it (I am going to be so tired tomorrow... but for once, who gives a turd), I even skipped yoga class (granted, I am buggered and didn't feel like going).... and convinced Mr Harris to waste the little hour or so of the evening he is awake of an evening... on it. Grand. Mighty grand. Is that an oxymoron type thing?
For once I am excited about the line up. I already got one unwanted spoiler at lunch today when I just jumped online for a customer. Stupid www.smh.com.au and it's news related items. I DID NOT WANT TO SEE THAT.


_____________________________________________________________________

Mood: Hungry and excited. I think all my mood statuses involve hungry and.... *insert other less important emotion here*. We have declicious... (read on...)

Eating: ... sausage hot pot, slow cooked and as leftovers so they've been left to sit in their own magical food juices (I put in food juices else that would just sound sick), all day in the fridge so tres excitement for dinner. Always nice when you put in the effort to make something seriously nomnom. Thick beef sausages, sweet potato, zuccini, onion, carrot, honey and casserole mix. All on a bed of mashed potato. Is that serious comfort food or WHAT. Who cares that it's 40+ degrees out there. Food is sometimes worth the pain. And comfort food is comfort food.

Also, another addition from weekend foodies... had the most AMAZING Vietnamese dish in the city Saturday night... a cute little restaurant tucked in amongst an inspiring line up of restaurants along Little Stanley Street.. seared crispy salmon (it crunched as you bit into it, then soft salmony middle) on a bed of ginger infused sweet potato mash, with a side of bok choy and all drizzled in this amazing soy glaze. Complimented... well, actually not complimented but I want to look into matching wines with food cause I don't think this one worked... some sort of cheapo Sauv Blanc (not a personal choice but it was the cheapest at $6 a glass!)

After cruising along that strip I have now vowed to try every one of those restaurants as when we were finding our place for dinner the smells from each of these spots were divine. I guess I was starving though so that probably helped.

So... whose hungry now?

Drinking: I think my wine tastes are going in for the change yet again. I bought, out of choice, a sauvingon blanc yesterday afternoon to help tackle the house cleaning. It was a Banrock Station wine though, and they're always fantastic for the moolah. Yes, this sauv blanc boasted all sorts of lovely fresh fruits as bouquet and taste, and as it was feral hot I couldn't resist the read up. I couldn't quite pick out all the lovely gooseberries and melons that they label stated, but it was still drinkable. I was amazed. Either Banrock station do a completely out of field Sauv Blanc or my tastes are beginning to mature, or turn...
BRING IT ON. More wine is happy Katy pants :)


Watching: Last night, watched 'The Social Network'. Very interesting, not really entertaining or ha ha-larious, but intriguing and a real eye opener. I didn't realise the founder of facebook was such a unintentional dick. The movie, I will deem, was 'smart' and 'well written' and full of techy speec (that's a hybrid of spec and speak, trying to be clever and rhyme with techy but then being ironic by doing a stupid abbreviation/bad spelling). Yes.  

A!rTester's overview for THE SOCIAL NETWORK:

Story/Attention Span Value: 8/10. I wanted to keep watching as it was intriguing, but it wasn't exactly 'gripping' viewing. 
Well made? Yes, the script was excellent and while there wasn't call for special effects the movie still had an obvious amount of care put into it. The tech speak was cool but lost me
Acting: 7/10.. good from the key characters, though apart from Napster dude were totally forgettable
Rewatch value? Zilcho. Once I knew the story, I would not watch this movie again. One of those 'good to watch once' movies. 
OVERALL: ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ 1/2

Listening to: Mr Harris playing 'Cartoon Wars' on his iPhone, plus Daniel Merryweather over the top of that, also on Mr Harris' iPhone. Talk about mash ups!


After this, I'm going to: feed the fluff nuggets, feed my growling belly chasm and then get into OSCARS mode! YEEEWW!!!!

One wish for the day:
Wow, look at that I haven't griped at all yet. And I won't really, cept the power was out when I rocked up to work this morning. No phones, no EFTPOS, no computers, no internet, no till, no lights, no air con. Oh god. The first few hours just dragged and were so annoying because I had to write down ALL the sales transactions, hand write out receipts for people, had to turn people away who had printing  on USBs to do (no printers either...), but then they all came back later in the day so a bit of a bombardment there... not really, I just wish I could have dealt with them earlier and got it all done, instead of piling up later in the day.
Yeah having no internet or network sucked. Whole day was delayed by a good few hours. Sucky.
So my wish was to have rocked up and everything be fine this morning.


Plus my more heartfelt wish was for Jessica Proietti to have won the Trading Post story writing competition, to win the $2000 for her story so she can clear her climbing accounts with the vets and help get the ACS (Australian Cavy Sanctuary - guinea pig RSPCA) back on it's feet. They've been in a bit of a debt pit for a while and it's so hard to get funding, donations or any help. I wish she won. The money would have really helped out. 

"Idiot on the Road" moment: followed an absolute loser down our street this afternoon that somehow forgot he had an indicator of any description. Didn't use it 3 times while turning right into 3 streets. How dangerous and what an idiot! He lives in my complex though, and I actually complimented the vehicle on the weekend. It's a cool mix between a jeep front and a ute back. Velly cool. But dick driver.

I'm off to get into Oscars mode! Have a good night peeps. And don't msg me with any spoilers else I will delete your number.

16/02/10: Officer Krupke, KRUP YOU!

For some reason I have a slightly camp 1960's musical song stuck in my head. West Side Story (you know it... I LIKE TO BE IN AMERICA, I LIKE TO BE IN AMERICA AY AY AYEEEEEE!!!!). I remember it from highschool, when the performance arts department sillyly decided to host a musical for the year. What a stressful near-disaster!!! So funny when I think back actually. I was the pianist... or rather, keyboardist (shudder...), and the music was god-awful to play. Such terrible time signatures, and keys - BLEH!! Luckily my part was only to fill in the background garble so I could botch through most of it without having to practice it at home. Ho ho ho. What a rebel. Anyway...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Mood: Hungry and hot. Making a new dinner tonight - spaghetti carbonara FROM SCRATCH!! I am so excited. We've got double cream, eggs, parmesan cheese, bacon.... I'm going to throw in some shallots and garlic too. It's going to be amazing. Thanks to gorgeous parents who gave me a fantastic authentic Italian cookbook for my Christmas present. The recipe looks pretty straight forward, I shall report back on it...

Eating: WILL be eating, WILL be eating.... see heavenly aboveness.... not long now!!!


Drinking: This question is only much more interesting near weekends. Oh well! Tea, and water.

Watching: Well this isn't a TV show as such, I saw something very intriguing today that made me chuckle. I walked through the carpark near my work, across to 5th Avenue to the Coles to get bacon for HEAVENLY DINNER, and just as I was about to cross the street, I saw 3 seperate occurrences of men, none of whom knew each other but were all within 10 metres of each other.... all with a baby's pram. No mothers around, just 3 gents with babies in prams. I thought that was rather random, and actually nice to see! Men with prams are kinda sexy... proves they're softies!

Listening to: Absolutely nothing of interest here today, no nice noises. Well I got a text message from Mr Harris so that's a nice sound, I get excited when I hear the ... doo dee doo, dee doooooo..... MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to get the Looney Tunes theme for my phone, must find must find...

After this, I'm going to: rest my eyes as they are drying out with the fan going full bore and go down and watch some telly. Har har.

One wish for the day:
I wish my shop was friggin TIDY... man there is so much CRAP in there at the moment - stationery boxes that need putting into stock and away on the shelves, 2000 printed catalogues for a customer who hasn't picked them up yet (sitting by the door, taking up so much room!!!), 50 boxes of paper down the back. The whole place is literally just closing in right now. I've been doing artwork jobs all week - yay for me, it's good, but that means the stationery side of things has slipped majorly. I just wish the stationery fairies would clean up for us... *sigh*

"Idiot on the Road" moment: slow driving Ambulance in the right hand lane. Grrrr.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Man, I don't want to write anymore, I'm thinking about dinner too much now and I realise I am bloody starving. There's not much news anyway. I was going to upload a 25th Birthday video but that will take ages.

Speaking of 25th Birthdays (what a segway....) Tis best palsy's Becca's 25th birthday coming up in a few days time... must think of awesome present to present to her. Have a few ideas... hoping I will get to see her come her birthday - too many arrangements around the actual date is proving tricky for a catchup, blah!! How fast this year is going already, it's flashing before my eyeballs.

Due to lack of blog content I shall upload another video, because this is awesome (but a bit late as Valentine's Day was 2 days ago... meh!). See how many movies/tv shows you can pick out, I love it!!!



Shorty ass blog today! Shee y'all shoon.

11/02/11: Bunky Moon

HOW AWESOME IS THAT WORD? It's actually a name... but should really be spelt Ban Ki Moon (Fact: He is the UN Secretary). What a freakin' awesome name though. I am going to call my first child that name. 

Not really no.

But it's still cool, no?

Movin' right along....

.................................................................................................................................................................. 

Mood: Tired/relieved/chilled. What a bloody afternoon at work, talk about last minute jobs. OMG. I usually try and refrain from using the cybe jargon on my very sophisticated blog, but this afternoon deserves an OMG. So does the itch on my thigh right now. OMG. ITCHY. GO AWAY. WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

Also 1/10 on the scale of drunkedness... 1/5 on the scale of tipsyness. Find out what I'm drinking after this short commercial break... (do watch, it is funny shizen. Plus I've broke the video embedding void. Whooppee!)


Eating: I've decided that with the 'watching/listening to/eating' categories I will now express the 'best of the day'. To save repetition (of night time noises, I'm sure you're all well sick of that now...)... so we'll go with the best thing of the day instead. It will be much more interesting I'm sure.

And my food today was not very interesting at all. I ate a falafel kebab and that is it. Wow I didn't really think about eating much food today at all really, usually I'm hanging for sweeties or an icecream or muffin or more than what I've eaten, but with the crappy busy day it's been I haven't thought of it. Amazing! Anyway, the kebab man forgot to put onions on my kebab. Those of you who know me and my eating habits will understand that this is a massive no no. Onions, are god. Pile those suckers on! I thought when I watched him put all the salad on that something was missing, but I thought I just missed it for a split second. WRONGO. The kebabble was dry as, and a bit bleh (ie. tasteless... wonder why??). But I get 'we work next door to you' discount, so I got it for $6. No complaints really.

Shepherd's pie for tea, making use of the feral mince I fudged from tacos night. I must admit I am pretty proud of myself for turning a failed dinner into a successful one. I used up 3/4's of all the foods for the tacos and just piled some cheesey spud on top. Worked a charm! It got eaten!! 


Tipsy scale: 3/5. I think I want a refill...


Drinking: What oh is Mrs Harris celebrating a Friday night with tonight? Well, I've actually discovered a new combination that is very refreshing. Iced Tea (lemon flavour) and vodka. Iced Tea I found in my fridge. I did not buy it, but it was left over from birthday weekend from hungover pal purchase. Belissimo! Fresh and lightly alcoholic. Too yummy really! I would get another but I am all out of vodka. Oh dear. 

I am not an alcoholic people, rest assured. I just like enjoying my Friday night with one or two or 5 drinkies to relax and see the weekend in. No harm! May 7, 8 drinkies....

Still wavering on 3/5 tipsy though. Pretty good spot for blogging. Don't feel the fingers seizing up with so much typing. Am able to still type legible sentences, still have structured thought.

Watching: Hrmmm... nothing of grand interest as yet actually. Will probably settle down to a few hilARious I.T. Crowd 4.0 later on. Loved How I Met Your Mother last night!!! OH HOW I LOVE IT!!!
Another video relating to my HIMYM lovin', because now I have no limits...


Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Major Barney crush (Major Barney...). Yikes I know, I know. Can't help it. He sings, he dances, he has flaws, he's a good visual kisser, he's just a cuteeeeeeeeeey!!!

Anway... ahem.

Listening to: Best sound today, was when I took a rejuventating stroll down Tally Beach this afternoon after hectic crap arvo at work. Dawdled in the waves, got my pants super wet (peddle pusher length here)... got it up past mid thigh. I cared at first that I had gotten a bit wetter than originally anticipated, but then I ended up not really caring two hoots. It was bloody hot and the wet pant legs felt good on my sweaty legs as I walked in the cooling wind. Stuff Jelly Legs, bring on sweaty legs!
I digress. The best sound I heard when I was walking through the water, and came across a spot of sand that had a lot of stones, pebbles and shells spanning across about 5 metres. The tide rolled in, and then when the tide rolled out, all the stones, pebbles and shells all bumped together and made this delightful fairy-like 'tinkle tinkle'. It made me smile. Such a delicate little musical noise that I would never have caught had I not been walking across them at that time. Really lovely, added much to the relaxation of it all.

After this, I'm going to: feel bad that I've yacked on and on about stuff and haven't added a thing about my birthday. I had a lot of thoughts today people! I do look forward to doing up the Birthday Edition Blog. Loads of photos and videos, I will upload I promise.
Then I will head downstairs, pour myself another tasty beverage, turn on the tv, cook some shepherd's pie, feed my piglets and finally sit my arse down. Phew!

One wish for the day:
That I had a wee bit more vodka in the hoos (like a Canadian now... hoos). I'm loving that Iced Tea! I will call it Burleigh Waters Iced Tea. Oh god that is lame, it's lame isn't it?

"Idiot on the Road" moment: I watched someone tailgate someone else today. And that still annoyed me. Not as much as being tailgated myself. But still really annoying to watch. Loser Getz.


*   *   *   *   *   *   *
To start weekend festivities, I have added yet another video. Not of me though. It's of a ladybug that seems to have developed a fascination with sugar sprinkles. Rather adorable really. Please watch and laff. There's no sound but feel free to make your own sound effects...

Have a great weekend everyone - will be bloggin again REAL soon ya hear!!
Aaaand final tipsy score: 5/5 (YEWW!!!)
Drunken Score: 4/10
To be continued... I think I have some left over Southern Comfort... will that go with Iced Tea...?

9/02/11: 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Gold Plated Platinum Birthday Blog!!!

Mood: Tired right now but happy to be back in the bloggin game!

Eating: Major fail tacos. Long story, not telling it now, too much typing... bleh!

Drinking: Pink champagne in celebration of Mr Harris's birthday today!!! Earlier though, I'm not wasted.

Watching: Last thing was Futurama on HELLO!! Animation fixation, awesome!

Listening to: Nightime noises.

After this, I'm going to: land of sugar lumps and lollipops. (ie. bed)

One wish for the day:
Wish I drained that damn oil out of the mince meat mix... major fail.

"Idiot on the Road" moment: can't think of any significant tool burger out there today. Too late really.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *
Wow. I can't believe I haven't blogged in nearly two weeks! Last post was before my birthday. Wow Wee. That's a fair while back. In all honesty I have been DYING to get my ass on here and tell the cyber world how my 25th Birthday went, with all its tom foolery and shennanigans... lots and lots to tell. Because it was such an awesome birthday it definitely NEEDS to be spouted to the world to anyone who cares to read. 

But, the truth of it is, I simply haven't. Had. The. Time.

GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katy with no time? NO TIME?? For shame I hear you say. Yup. I agree. How dare I be busy doing other things worth while like getting fit at zee gym (I'M BACK BABY, I'M BACK!!!)... aaaand that's about it really. My gym sessions consist of mostly classes, and they chew into my evenings after work. 

Here's my weekly fitness listness.. I am going to try and keep this thing going because it's not really effort and it's using up my gym membership excellently and I'm feeling good so everything is great!!

Though my evenings are now GONE. Mr Harris is going to be taking over dinner duties me thinks...

MONDAY:
7pm - 8pm YOGA
By the time I get home and finally sit down it's like 9pm. And I go to bed around 9:30pm - 10pm. No time for blog! Must down time...

TUESDAY:
6:30am (CHECK... A.M. PEOPLE!!! I am awesome) - 7:30am 
Walk around Burleigh National Park headland with work colleague Kylie. 45min fast walk, after walk stop into fruit shop in James Street and grab some freshly squeezed juices ($5 for a juice of up to 5 fruits... and on top of your cup you get 3 pieces of fresh fruit shoved over your straw!! A piece of watermelon, pineapple and orange. HOW AWESOME IS THAT????) Go and sit on headland watching the ocean for half hour, then into work for both of us. What an amazing start to the day. We do this every week now... well, plan to at least. It's only been two weeks. But we likes it! Even did it in the rain last week. 

7 - 8pm PILATES
Excellent class. I do enjoy low energy classes as opposed to say, STEP or crazy Les Mills Body Combat (holy crapper that is full on...). Pilates is helping my weak weak lower back and helping my posture and generally making me feel all good inside. My inner core if you will.

By time I come home I am utterly buggered. No blogging, no thinking... must chill...

WEDNESDAY:
7 - 8pm YOGA
Again. Yoga is good. All over body massage. Ferkin unreal. 

Come home. Unable to rev brain up with electricity and thinking with computer to blog. Feel guilty as want to tell the world of my daily doings. But alas. Not enough time and energy in the day...

THURSDAY: 
5pm - 6pm ZUMBAAAAAAA
This class is mental fun. We have a very enthusiastic guy instructor - he also takes the Body Combat class and really incorpoates that 'full on-ness' in the zumba class. He's quite the gay little pocket rocket. God he makes you sweat! He also wears a hat when he dances which I think is fun. Class of lots of middle aged biddies there to have a laugh, awesome class!

FRIDAY: 
... as if I'd exercise on Fridays? I do have limits.
So... that basically has been me the last 2 weeks and hence why I have not yet blogged since my birthday eve blog.

Now I promise I will be writing up a massive Tell Tale of all birthday happenings in my next blog (and now I realise that my title was misleading... oh well! Tune in tomorrow, you'll survive!). It will be complete with photos and captions and all things hilarity and entertainment. But that will take time to do. So be patient. I am here and wanting to get it happening, just need more energy and tonight I do not have it. But I'm glad to be back in blogdom.

Last weekend was a hoot as well, and I will tell all of that in probably 2 blogs time. There will be a few blogs to get everyone up to speed with the here and now, but trust me... there wont' be much else happening in the next few days to make up a massive blog I'm sure. A bit of blog lag dun hurt nobody, right?

Blog lag. Blog lag.

Oh though I did have a thought today and I thought "I must put that in my blog because it's an interesting fact..."

I figured out today that I'm a crazy 'normal' person. I am somebody who is pretty crazy in a sea of normal people, but in a sea of crazy people I am normal. It fits perfectly. 
That's my one thought. And now, until tomorrow... or when I decide to blog next... 

Patience everyone! The birthday story is classic...

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

And a big squish and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful sleeping husband Mr. Harris whose birthday it was today. I love you very much and I hope you'd had a great day today. Sucks that it was a Wednesday but oh well. The weekend will be great. Enjoy your Wild Turkey Honey Bourbon, Cadbury Cream Egg and you've already enjoyed your Mos Def concert. Uh huh. Uh huh. I would add in pictures but I seriously could not be arsed right now. They will come, promise.
 I LOVE YOU MR HARRIS, sleep well my love.
...And sorry dinner ended up sh!thouse... I feel so bad...

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

And to my beloved cyber readers, I bid thee goodnight. More blogginess to ensue in the coming days.

~ Peace, Love & Mungbeans ~

11/01/27: Gonna take you for a ride on a big jelly donut...

Mood: Rather stoked it's like a Friday for me today. DAY OFF TOMORROW!! Seeing as it's ma birfday on Sunday I requested a three day weekend. My boss is awesome. Gave me a treble cash book free from our shop as a birthday present. Tee hee! "Wa-hey" I hear you say? Well, I did need it. Gonna start working out where all my money is going, dammit! Working out what goes in and what gets spent, and then maybe we can work out a budget and start saving for our HOUSE that we will get in like 20 years time... *sigh*

So moving along... yes I am stoked. Tomorrow I get to sleep in, fix up my lisence and bank details, go shopping for party food and tie up a heap of loose end jobs that I've been meaning to crack the back of for a while. Needed the day off really. Then one can enjoy one's up and coming birthday weekend.

Sneeze. Dust. 3 times.

What can I cook at home that will generously feed about 5 - 6 people? I was thinking like either crappy party foods (gems with mayo and tomato sauce... yup try it. AWESOME)... or homemade burgers, or a whopping great casserole or hotdogs or BBQ? TOO MANY CHOICES!!!

Man I ain't getting very far with this post. Been sitting here for 20 minutes already. Too much happening on facebook tonight. Gasp I hear you think? Yes yes I know I boycotted it. I still find it interesting. Plus I miss the people that I actually talked to on facebook regularly. Seemed a bit mean just to throw the entire towel in. I just threw a flannel in I guess. Rest assured (not that you really care, but I care so I'm just assuring myself here...) I don't sit on the computer nowhere near as much as I used to, like... every night before going to bed and then wondering why I can't sleep because my brain is still buzzing from the overload of electricity and stimulation from typing and thinking all at the same time. I watch tv now. In bed. Usually How I Met Your Mother. SO EXCITED ITS COMING BACK NEXT WEEK!!!! NEW EPISODES!!!! And Barney is promoted it on channel 7. Why do I get so excited when I see my favourite characters (note, Amercian characters), promoting stuff, plugging Australian channels on our tvs (ie. Marshall and Lily saying "Right here on Channel 7...)? I have simple pleasures. Freakin' awesome. I couldn't think of the word that sounded cooller than 'promote'. I just had to google it. I am lame.
 
Tv before bed though is still bad. Same stimulation. But not so much thinking, right? Right.

How awesome what the Top Ten Hottest (almost wrote Hootest, har har)... 100 yesterday evening? Silo (or is it Seelo or Sealo? Who cares...) Green, #7? SERIOUSLY? I thought that was a sure fire winner. Though I shouldn't complain it's not like I voted or really cared. It would have made something anyway. How stoned did Angus Stone sounded when they were brought up after being announced the winners.... "Bonanza." Um... spare the excitement dude!

Shall I move on from this question? I'm kind of tangenting here aren't I? Hey, blogging is blogging no matter what category it's coming under. You're still getting a good read.

Eating: I had dessert tonight (which was 2 giant 'pods' I handmade yesterday - see yesterday's blog for a complete rundown). Shutup. I went to Zumba class and felt good that I actually sweated a bit and the ol' ticker got a bit up there (now that's awesome grammar for you). Will be doing that again next week. Plus Step class, though I hated every minute of that from Tuesday. I was so buggered 2/3's of the way though, and looking in the mirrors I seriously was the least energetic in the class, and there were about 30 people in the room. I was really trying too, and that made me feel so unfit. Embarrassment. Gotta keep at it. Gotta lose that belly flabbage (hey, that rhymes with cabbage. Funny!). But my belly cabbage is not funny. It must fly. The flab must fly!

I am sick of the Jetplane song already. I've heard it play 3 times on JJJ today. Overkill!! Yes, it's great it won, but don't get everyone hating it before it's brought out on the CD!!!

Note: I want the new Iron and Wine CD (heard rave reviews), I also want to investigate the new Cat Empire CD (haven't heard a THING about it this time... mustn't have been that awesome I guess? Not inspired to download it yet.) It's been out for months.


Drinking: just finished a fine cup of tea stuff. Velly nice. Though mild caffeine hit maybe not such a great idea before beddies?

Watching: Before now was watching the Supercars Special Top Gear. I do heart that show. I like James because everyone else hates him. Heck, I do like them all. They are quite the characters - ho ho ho!

Listening to: the last thing I did most litereally with my ears is have a brief chat to my mother dearest on the phone before I went into Coles. Now, going into Coles was really annoying. What happened was, I had my Zumba class this evening until 5:45pm, headed home - STOKED to be home, tired... got in the door. Mr Harris was there, keen to start up our tacos for dinner. And then it hit me. The thing I forgot to get today that I promised myself I wouldn't forget. I threw out our last bunch of lettuce this morning due to it being sludgey in it's plastic bag. Not piggies, nor humans could or would eat that. So I tossed it. And I reminded myself I needed to get one that afternoon for tacos. Realised at that moment when I walked in the door (well, just as I had pulled off my shoes and about to collapse on the couch) I forgot lettuce... and was so mad. Trudged... I really trudged... think Barney moment in How I Met Your Mother when he is waiting for Ted to say something, and is slow-motion walking out the kitchen door (I just tried googling it but can't find the episode... BLAST!!!!)... hoping Mr Harris would do the deed for me (no such luck... must work on telepathic abilities...) back out the door, to drive down the road to pick up some lettuce and some amazing $35 worth of something elses. At this point I was just frazzled and tired and whingey. But  yes, in answer to question my mumsy called me just as I was about to head into Coles to pick up $35 of food stuffs.   

Just finished: Sneezing, a cup of tea, dinner, watching Top Gear and chatting to palsy's on facebook. Man I am such a hypocrite.

After this, I'm going to: bed. Simple, beautiful, cool sheeted, fan blown bed. With sand from yesterday. It came out of my hair in the night. Sand gets in weird places. We all know that don't we?

One wish for the day:
To not have given my poor boss quite so much work to do tomorrow. Feel a bit slack that I didn't finish as much as I should have today. Oh well! Good luck to bossman and Kylie the graphic designer. I wrote a list...

"Idiot on the Road" moment: There were plenty today, mostly more annoying ones were the 'careful' drivers... driving 10km under the speed limit on the highway and on the normal streets. Left laners, granted. Still annoying. Especially when they slow right down to 80-70km about 2km from their exit. You can slow down when your exit is actually right there my friend.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

I have nothing else to add! These questions pretty much cover everything - granted I do tangent a heck of a lot. Oh well! It all gets out there one way or another. 

Here's to a fabulous Friday - and a wicked weekend!!!

Y'all's in bloggy boggness...

26/01/11: Eee-yeah Eee-yeah Eee-yeah!! ♫ #38 and counting...

Mood: Quite quite happy right now, but feeling a bit sluggish (blaming weather and onset of tiredness). Got mild gut rot though from badly reheated pork last night, not cool. But hey, it's a holiday today (HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY Y'ALL!!), have had a ripper BBQ lunch with my beloved, sent him off to Brisbane for the evening to see Mos Def at the Hi-Fi Bar (finally! Had to wait an extra few weeks because of the floods... what sucky timing, at least he didn't completely cancel)... so I am home alone for the afternoon and evening. I am contemplating getting *~drunk~* on Botanicals wine... though I DO have to work tomorrow... hmm decisions... though I DON'T have to work on Friday (requested a day off to catch up with some loose end jobs, plus it's my BIRTHDAY weekend - HUZZAH!!!!)... I will be working on my PhotoBooth book this arvo. Too hot to go out and do anything else! I had my bout of outsideness early this morning. What a gorgeous way to start a holiday day! Forced myself to get up early (6am people... yikes), got Mr. Harris up and we both into our swimmers, and headed down to North Burleigh beach for a lovely cool, morning swim. It seriously is the most perfect time of day to be out during the summer. The sun isn't quite high enough to be hot, there's no wind about and everything is still relatively cool from the night previous. Perfect! Water was pretty chilly but refreshing once you got in. Bliss!


Oh yay, the Bike Song just came on Triple J - love that song! Love Mark Ronson, clever bugger.

Eating: Ate two very naughty but very yummy Buttersnap Tartlets I homemade this morning. So easy, and so yummy! Plain buttersnap biccies, for the filling you need chocolate, cream and butter. Melt all that together and spread em over the biccies, and leave to set. Um. Drool? Yes. Very. I even got some fudge sauce left over, now I just need some icecream and it will be perfect.


♫ Gonna ride my bike until I get home...

Drinking: drinking water to ease gurgling guts, but as mentioned prior, debating on whether to crack a bottle of vino to celebrate Australia Dayness. 

** EDIT: Oh. My. Freakin. God. My computer just turned itself off. Luckily this thing automatically saves drafts, but that's not the problem. My mobile internet was being a right bitch and decided it didn't want to reconnect without serious pain being involved - namely my head and patience. Computer wouldn't recognise the stick. Bing Bong (found it)... Bong Bing (disconnected it)... again, and again and again... Restarted computer. No good. Only until I shut the whole thing down that it's booted up. Took 25 minutes to get from "Drinking" to here. UGH.... we are now at #29 me thinks? Illy song....

♫ A momentary lapse of reality.... ♫ <--- good song, me likey

New Mood: Frazzled/relieved.

Watching: Nuttin right now. Will be watching some chick-flick-anti-Mr-Harris movie most likely later this evening. I have a sticker on every movie on our dvd shelf that I am yet to watch, maybe I will pick one of those. There's about 50 to pick from.

God I'm pretty tired, might wrap this up early today... and I've been nearly 3-4 days without posting a blog! Tsk. What a slack ass. And I can't even be bothered writing heaps. Oh well, I'm still here, there will be plenty more blogs in the future. Gotta enjoy what's left of my Australia Day!

Listening to: what else? I hope you too are all listening to Triple J's Hottest 100 - I'm rooting for Silo Green's 'Fudge You' (the uncensored version, of course...). Heaps of awesome songs already.

OOOOO!!!! Florence and the Machine.... You Got the Love rehash.... freakin sick..... her voice is amazing...


Just finished: A nap earlier. Yes, a nanna nap. I've been up since 6am, it's unnatural for me, and effectively I crashed about 2 hours ago. Just chilled on the couch while listening to awesome Triple J musak.

After this, I'm going to: get cracking on my PhotoBooth, getting a good couple of pages done. Can't wait to get it printed!

One wish for the day:
For Friday to be tomorrow. I want weekend goodies to start NOW!

"Idiot on the Road" moment: Well, havent' really been out a lot today, so for once I won't whinge. Aren't I great?  Saves you all that tiresome reading.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *

Ladies and gentleman, I'm signing off. Yawns are approaching and I want to make some headway on my Photobooth booky wooky (as Russell Brand would put it).
Have a fantastic weekend coming up. It's ma birfday!! Got a few awesome things planned... Infinity, Wii party, laser skermish, nice dinner out, casino... should be awesome fun! Get to hang out with some amazing peeps - can't wait!

Man this has been a boring blog, apologies for the dullness even after being away for being so long. Won't be rereading this one! Better blogs to come in the coming days, assured...

Note: Interesting that it took nearly 10 top songs to write this blog... that's a lot of time....
