Well it finally happened. I got some time off work. Its a holiday. I had nothing planned. I'm too broke to go away. Fortunately for me I live in one of the greatest cities of the world. And I have yet to explore it. So my holiday plans include
posibly the greatest aquarium I've ever seen.
educational trips
walks
relaxation
exploration
scenic travel routes
maybe a cruise
and just doing my own thing!
If any Sydneysiders have any ideas for a home holiday I'd love to hear them. Its amazing what you can find so close to home.

Things that make you go WTF!?!
I have two very pretty dresses. Amazingly pretty dresses. They are my 'first date dress' and my 'second date dress'. My second date dress is just a flattering as the first, if not a tad formal and old fashioned. But its gorgeous and I've had more comments about this dress than the other. I swear I want my wedding dress modelled on this dress. Where the first is flirty/pretty, this one is classic-gorgeous. I swear I could wear prostitue red lipstick and not look slutty in this dress.
But I have no occasion to wear these dresses. So I've worn them yesterday and today. First and second respectively.
I went to the allergy clinic at work today. All dressed up. I looked like a literal lady. Like your grandma but much, much younger. I'm used to the drill at the clinic. And so when my name got called I went with the murse and jumped on the scales. Since I was there six months ago I've put on 2.7 kilos. According to those scales. And the murse made the very stupid comment 'you've put on weight' and then he actually TUTTED at me! Fucker was lucky I didn't immediately leap over the scales and tear his eyeballs out! I might have looked like a lady but I was a little scrag kid and I lived in the country for three years. I can hold my own.
For the record guys: there are two subjects you CANNOT discuss with women. Age and weight. End of story. Participation is at your own risk and possible consequences include having your testicles confiscated. You have been officially warned.

Stuff
So I've upgraded my template. I got bored with my old one. I might yet change back. But I think change is good. Next up is to update my bloglinks. Some of my 'new blogs' I never visit, and some have turned into daily reads. Some of them have disappeared altogether :( There are also some new links to put up.
************************************************
I have finally managed to get the last few episodes of Scrubs that I was missing! Hurrah for me!
***********************************************
Since I switched over to blogger beta I cannot stay signed in. Its a pain in the proverbial. Any hints anybody?
*************************************************
I went over to Westfield to get lunch today. I choose to say it was healthy. And on my way down to level 1 to pick up some non-fat, non-carb Krispy Kreme (I can dream can't I?) I was walking behind a guy wearing a blue workshirt, sleeves rolled up, balck pants and swinging a blue and white striped umbrella. And then a guy, dressed EXACTLY THE SAME with the same FREAKING UMBRELLA walks by in the opposite direction. He was a little shorter, a bit more heavyset and his hair was fractionally lighter.
I was so spun out. The way he was walking, and swinging his umbrella, even the way his sleves were rolled up were EXACTLY THE SAME. And yet they appeared to not notice each other. Weird huh?
*************************************************
And lastly this was linked on another blog, as a result of a comment I left. I found it HILAROIUS. Enjoy.
It still cracks me up.

Its raining. Still. Beautiful soaking rain. Just the type we need to help our concrete paths grow, and slick down our roads. Rain in the city isn't the same. Its still lovely. But its dirty. you dont want it on your skin. When I lived in the country I was known as the girl who would go dancing in the rain. Then the rain was clean and fresh. It was eagerly awaited. You lived and breathed for the rain. When it came it was a cause for celebration. You were going to last tht little bit longer.
I asked myself today 'What happened to the phish who used to dance in the rain'. The truth is she's still there. Its not me who has changed. Its the rain.

Ahh, blessed internet
I had no internet last night. Stupid wireless adapter picked a night where I had nothing to do to die :(
I just checked my emails. There was a sexual horoscope thing that said every sign was the most amazing in bed, best kisser and had the most sex appeal. Obviosuly this was one of those emails where you're not supposed to read the others. Woops!
And I also found the following. They're doing the rounds so my apologies if anybody has seen them already.
-------------------------------------------
Coca-Cola was originally green
-------------------------------------------
It is impossible to lick your elbow.
-------------------------------------------
The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28% The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cost of raising a medium-size dog to the age of eleven: $6,400
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history: Spades - King David
Hearts - Charlemagne
Clubs -Alexander, the Great
Diamonds - Julius Caesar
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Q. What is the only food that doesn't spoil?
A. Honey
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down."
It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's"
*****************************************************************
Mary and her husband Jim had a dog, Lucky. Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing. Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's favorite toys.
Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particularthat his toys stay in the box.
It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease, she was just sure it was fatal. She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him. The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.
The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable. Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap. Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.
When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love. Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every night. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free.
Lucky? He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.
