Intro

This week I don't think I did much but read and have quality time with my sofa and get annoyed with Nick. Saw a few movies but yeah a whole lot of nothing. The house we are buying is getting fluffed around, but we should have the tittle to the place on the 20th March. Then we decide whether or not to change the date till May as has been requested by the current owner. Hopefully come back from Aus and it will all be sorted.

Week O Work

I spent the week showing Dom how to do tissue culture (which ended in all his cells being contaminated) and generally be very annoyed at the dust and noise that the builders have been producing. One more week of it. But then in 1 more week I will be in Aus for a week so it won't matter. At least I won't have to put up with the paint fumes.

Week O Social

Last Sunday I went and watched the annual Hort vs Landcare game. Hort won (yay us) Though I am not sure how much cricket we saw, generally was a good time to sit in the sun and drink bubbles and talk to friends about stuff. And get rather sun burnt, add that to the burning got on Saturday and.... nah I suck; Now I have a really nice tan. Kelly and Aselle both put make up on to disguise the fact they went red.

Week O WoW

Not much happened, I spent most of my WoW time playing with Brackenhaven (Nick's druid) to lvl up it's skills, yesterday I leveled a paladin to 10.

Week O Being a better person

Yeah not so good, quality time with the sofa, could be because we decided that we wouldn't go and do a camel trek because we don't have the time. (to get to the place is a 3hr drive from where we are staying) Next time we go though.

Books and Stuff

I am now onto Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. At the moment it is quite a different read from all the others, but in saying that he has matured 6 years and attacks are every where.

Movies. Saw 3 very different ones this week.

Science of Sleep.

This is an odd movie that has beautiful visualisation, and deep down a nice story. But doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense. In the end you still won't know if he is dreaming or awake. But some really nice visualisation, so lives in the realm of art students.

Running with Scissors

Damn where to start with this one, it is odd and funny at the same time. If you have seen The Royal Tenenbaums and liked it I would suggest seeing this. It is very similar to that movie just add a bucket or 2 more LSD. The freaky thing is it is a true story, all these things actually happened to a person.

Smokin' Aces

This is an American Guy Ritchie film (he brought you Lock, stock and two smoking barrels and Snatch) I got given the tickets to see it for free from a work mate, because I normally wouldn't have seen it (Ben Affleck is in it) But it was way better than I thought it would be, certainly not pay for it at the movies, is def a wait for video. But if you do see it, be prepared for some violence.

Summary

I have re-discovered scented candles. and now a a small collection on a large tile on my desk. At the moment I have the mango ones burning which are quite nice, but yeah even when they are not lit they still scent the room quite nicely. I brought mine from Origin in St Lukes and the Warehouse, but you can try these guys to get an idea. http://www.candlecompany.co.nz/index.php

Also Emontional tears are secreted in moments of intense feeling - sometimes joy, but more offen sorrow. They contain much more than basal or irritant tears; they carry stress hormones as a way of getting rid of them.
