All Blacks

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I don’t think I can describe what it’s going to be like being here for the rugby world cup. They have a countdown on the front page of the paper (8 days). Yesterdays lead story was “Bring it home, All blacks”. Every 3rd commercial on TV is about it (my housemates and I have counted about 8 different rugby world cup commercials so far).

I was telling Tash yesterday that we never really get this kind of national pride for a team. Maybe back when I was a little girl and the dream team went to the olympics – but I don’t really remember that.

Anyways, it should be interesting (and fun! Go All Blacks! (Sorry Brian O’Driscoll))

EW staffers picked 20 fall movies they’re excited to see.

“THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB (Sept. 21)
I would never join a book club myself, but I am sort of excited to watch a movie in which six women in California sit around talking about Jane Austen novels and find that their own lives begin to resemble modern-day versions of Austen’s world. I’m hoping it will offer some insight into why my mom is the way she is”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha…….

One of the nice things about our premises being right on the square is that when the weather is nice, we get to see the buskers out at lunchtime. 2 days ago there was a guy with a whip and, better ... [Continue reading this entry]

That's right - AT HOME!!! YAAAAAYYYYY!!! There was an hour of tension when it wouldn't turn on, because I forgot my power cord sucks and has to be propped up (as does the laptop itself so it doesn't overheat). But now ... [Continue reading this entry]

I have pretty daffodils on my desk. It's a cancer society fundraiser thing. ("it was a fun-raiser!") Anyways, they were delivered as buds yesterday, but they've all burst into bloom over night. There's going to be a lunar eclipse tonight. Of ... [Continue reading this entry]

Bourne

Sunday, August 26th, 2007
Well, the weekend was nice and relaxing. I watched some office (funny!), walked around town basking in the nice weather, and saw the Bourne Ultimatum (more on that in a sec). Today was my first day as receptionist on my ... [Continue reading this entry]

Feed me a cat.

Saturday, August 25th, 2007
Not much to report on from me. I watched some office and CRACKED UP. It amazes me that it's funny enough to be laugh out loud even on repeat viewings. Plus EVERY EPISODE has 5-10 minutes of deleted scenes. Yay. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Friday, August 24th, 2007
I've been treating myself a lot since the whole Fedex fiasco. It's been working pretty well. We had a small party after work yesterday to say goodbye to Jenn. Then I watched Friends (hee), Family Guy (which always makes me ... [Continue reading this entry]
