Sun, Sand and Volleyball - 12:24 PM
Intro It was been rather hectic this week, had the science review, got a new student, had the annual Hort volley ball competition, Nick had a work function along with making really good progress in WoW. I singed myself a bit on the shoulders yesterday at the beach, nothing to bad though.
Week O Work
The Science review went really well and every one seems happy, but we shall see once the report comes out. I was a bit worried after my presentation as mine was half the length of every one else’s, but since every one went over time that was good. The reviewers said it was good and straight to the point. Dominik my new German student and he is actually competent. Yah. Will post some pictures of him once I have some. Which I have now done.
Week O Social
Well, The Before Photo ended up winning the trophy and being declared Best Volley Ball team. 
So next year we can be the After Photo. Yesterday was Nicks work function BBQ at Long Bay, was good, if some what long. And today I am off to watch a cricket game.
Week O WoW
Karazhan is going well and there are some really interesting encounters in there like the Opera Event - a play is preformed and you have to fight the actors - depending on the play, depends on how it goes. And the Chess Event, where your party takes control of a giant chess set and fights to win.
Week O Being a better person
No yoga video, but I have fallen in love with Chai so all I do is drink that, and thus am loosing weight, though have been playing volley ball each day so been getting my exercise.
Books and stuff
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire could kill some one if thrown at them, still nice mindless reading.

But saw The Illusionist, and I really enjoyed it. Is def a chick flick with a nice all round love story. Fully suggest renting it on DVD and watching it with your man, as you will both enjoy all aspects of it.
Summary
Has been a busy week, but good. And always remember to look after your teeth as the bacteria in plague can also cause artery hardening

Where have you been? - 1:03 AM
IntroI finally got around to rebuilding my PC so it has been missing a lot of software over the last week, and am only getting around to installing Office today. But I think my PC is behaving now, either that or it conensides with the weather getting a little bit cooler. The last few weeks have been rather work focused. And I changed my hair colour again. I am now my original colour, that dark brown almost black that made me blend in with backgrounds.
Week O Work
Next week is our platform review, where the higher ups get every one to present for 10 mins to determine if you are doing good science and does it fit in with the company agenda. If they don't like what they see, your work can be shut down. So been frantically getting my presentation together so it looks good and is what the company wants. But I get a new outfit out of it. As I asked William (one of my bosses) would green be ok, and he said white would be prefered. Well I don't have much in white so shopping time.
Week O Social
Last week the girls and i did a Bolloywood night, where we went had Indian
and watched Bolloywood movies. Damn it was fun, I was surprised there is no kissing in Bolloywood movies
, they dance to express their love. Was good fun all around.This coming week work is having a volley ball competition, and I am in the 3rd floor team - The Before Photo. I thought that we would do badly, but they have put HortResearchs best players in our team to bulk up our numbers. So will see how I go.Yesterday I went shopping wit Kelly around Newmarket and got a new outfit from Farmers, http://www.farmers.co.nz/specials-FTC1522.htmlThe grey satin shirt on page 4 and some grey tailored pants. But the other place that Kelly took me was http://www.secrets-shhh.com/ They sell man made diamonds, so many nice things..... I saw this necklace (like 9046W - braclet on page 1) but they wanted 3k for it. Nick said no. I better start saving my lunch money then.The other thing is we found a place that does camel treks in Aus , but there is a weight limit, now I am paroid that I will break the camel.

Level 70 now, and have started raiding Karazhan to get phat epic loot. It is always a buzz when you can get 10 friends togther and accomplish something. Well done team drunk.
Week O Being a better person
Well with the parnoia about breaking camels I have been much better with my exercising and all that. Shall see if it continues into next week. But I am thinking more about what I am eating and that. And i did start doing pilates again, I need to go and get a yoga video. Might try and do that today.
Books and stuff
Yep still reading Harry Potter, need to get The Half Blood Prince at some point. Saw Silent Hill the movie, and for a game to movie it was damn good. Watch it just for the special effects. Wasn't as impressed with Ant Bully, mainly because of the annoying pink bug. I still really need to see Children of Men.
Summary
I brought this calander at Christmas from the calander company and it gives you daily tips on how to be a better person. The Valintines day one was the best. That it takes 120 calories for a standard sex session which is similar to running up and down 2 flights of stairs, so if you can't do that then you sex life is probably less than optimal.

Intro
What a week, I went to the Roger Waters concert, did some gardening, brought a teapot, a house and a calander. And ate to many maple syrup cookies (but damn they are good) in no particular order.
Week O Work
Due to it being a short week, was a pretty quite one - so I caught up on paper work, and genrally got organised. Not sure how long it will last. I can say though - if you are feeling down - have a boysenberries.
Week O Social
I went to the Roger Waters concert and damn it was good. Just WOW - tickets were rather expensive, but I decided that I would buy my mother a ticket since I know deep down inside a little piece of her would have died if she didn't go. She just wouldn't have admitted it (I pity her friends
who will have to hear all about it for the next month or two). But back to the story - tickets started at $100 and went up to $400. I was like ouch at the $100 tickets, but after having been it was well worth it, and prob would have justified the $200 ticket. Went and got a warrant on the car, it failed because the window washers didn’t work. Quick water bottle fix and done. This was actually a major worry as if the car had failed on something major we would have been in the poo. Due to having gone unconditional on a house on the 2nd of Feb and buying a weeks trip to the Gold Coast. Heading there in March. So not to far away 
Week O WoW
I hit level 68 this means I can become a crow and fly around.
Week O Being a better person
Ha went and played soccer with Nick this morning and he normally hassles me about being unfit. Well seems as though I am fitter than he is and was still running strong. I worked on getting better aim for my weekly girl’s game. Though normally Ed comes and plays with us, but he is such a girl it counts. But I am not sure he will come next week
due to me kicking him at our last game. I need to buy some sushi rice today and make some sushi for next week. So working on sports and that. Ice cream is good. Damn I have a weak will when it comes to exercising more and eating better.Books and stuff
Still reading Harry Potter stuff and it isn’t too bad. But I do want to punch any whiney teenagers in the face, but then I normally want to do that so no change.
Summary
Drink tea – it is good for you, so is running up stairs, but tea you can do with friends and not look like a tomato after wards.
