What would YOU do?

So, what would you do for charity? What would you do to help kids in need? In fact, what lengths would you go to in order to put a smile on a sick childs face?

Would you dress up like a Stormtrooper (ala Starwars)?

I think I would.

Y’know the best cure for insomnia?

Sleep.

Last night, I slept. I actually went to bed, closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep. I woke up this morning and threw myself a high-five. I have my sleep-mojo back, and I feel amazing.

I think, perhaps, the whole scenario was caused by my spidey senses picking up on something that my conscious brain had yet to cotton on to. So, when the “interesting news” came through yesterday, I wasn’t surprised in the least - in fact, a little relieved.

I then blew off all plans for the rest of the day, bought as much KFC as I could carry and totally pigged out in front of new episodes of Dexter. Cyclone Joan suggested getting cutlery and dinnerware - which was totally out of the question. Fingers and cardboard boxes were invented for a reason, and that reason was to cut out any need to do the washing up. At that point, my life could not possibly have been any better. Thank you Juliegirl, for being a willing accomplice. Our mission totally successful.

I fell sleep listening to the sound of rain. I seriously feel like my head is back to good. Now, if only my 501st authorisation thingy would come through, then I can stop checking my emails like I have ADD and OCD.

In other news: I don’t need a subscription to RSVP - I already have a dog who cuddles, farts, and snores in bed. Who needs a man?

3am

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

There are so many other things I’d rather be doing at 3am.

I’d rather be sleeping, for a start.

Damn it. Damn insomnia to hell. I’m going to be a cranky little frog tomorrow. I may even crack a scowl.

I’m just going to go and stare at my bedroom ceiling for a few more hours…

The last few days have been pretty topsy-turvey.

I’m not really one for a set routine, or living my life to a rigid agenda - but things are getting a little out of control!

The weekend was pretty awesome - I managed to catch up with my two younger cousins, and drag them along to Whitewater World. Ok, so there was very little dragging as it was more a case of “Keep up, Jac!” Waterslides and me have been friends for quite some time, so when the Crash asked me: “Hey Jac, wanna go on the Ultra-mega-scary waterslide of DOOM?”
My response was rather casual.
“Race ya there!”

After a day filled with energy and adrenalin, the only way I could top it was to pierce my bellybutton. So I did. Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt. Prior to actually having it done, I didn’t believe anybody who told me that it didn’t hurt. STICKING STEEL NEEDLES IN YOUR ARM HURTS!! I didn’t quite understand why sticking a steel needle THROUGH your bellybutton would suddenly not hurt at all.

But, y’know, it didn’t actually hurt all that much.
I’ve had more painful experiences with bikini waxing.

So, I’m now entirely focused on keeping my belly button squeaky clean to stop any goobers from infecting my new little piece of body art. I’ll have to find somewhere else to store my goobers. Advice?

Then, yesterday, after a bit of a torrid day at work I ventured forth to see Wall E. Was a bit of “sweet overload” but quite entertaining. I think I ‘awwwed’ and ‘ooooohed’ a few dozen times - but I think I may have strained my cuteness muscle.

And it totally managed to take my mind off the fact that I had just put a very ugly scratch down the side of my fucking car.

PRICK OF A THING.

$500 later, AAMI will be making poor Girty feel like her pretty self once again.
Fuck it. I know I wasn’t having a brilliant day, but jeeze.

There is a new goddess in town: Kate Miller Heidke

Friday, October 3rd, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Ok, so I know I’m not the first person to jump on this bandwagon, but I think Brisbane has another superstar on their hands. Kate Miller Heidke’s song “I just cant shake it” is terribly, terribly addictive.

Go listen to it at Nova’s web page: here.

I first heard this song while I was driving to work, and cackled the entire time. The song is quirky, funny, and very, very catchy. When I first heard the song, I loved it. Several hours later, still humming the tune, I knew I needed to get a copy of it.

Kate’s second album comes out later this month, but until then, go and listen to it. Tell me what you think. In the meantime, here are the lyrics (well, as best as I could do, anyway!)

Lyrics: Kate Miller Heidke - “Can’t Shake it”
When we go out dancing on a Friday night
I get this funny feeling somethings not quite right
my sence of rythm is incontrovertibly shite
I cant fake it

I just cant shake it
Oh no, I just cant shake it,
I just cant shake it, shake it, shake it
Oh no, I just cant shake it, shake it, Oh!
I just cant shake it, shake it, shake it
Oh no, I just cant shake it, shake it, Oh!
I just cant shake it, shake it, shake it
Oh no, I just cant shake it, shake it, Oh!
I just cant shake it, shake it, shake it
Oh no, I just cant shake it, shake it, Oh!

The sunsets, just lately, have been spectacular.

I’m so glad that I’m happy and healthy enough to be able to veer off the road at short notice in order to snap a little digital memory of the scenery. The cars behind me, however, were less glad and more irritated by the erratic swerving and screetching.

Meh. Pretty sunset.
