And Saturdays are short - 2:11 PM
Oh the routine of it all and if only I was use to it. Still getting there and I still love owning my own house and two balls of fluff and trouble. Work
Not much has changed I have still ploughing my way through accession numbers. Though they want to muck my hours around so every one can have a piece of the pie that is me. Some days it seems as though people that have the smallest bit are screaming for more, and the people with the biggest bit just want to wave it around and show it off, with out actually doing anything with it. The GABA work is looking more stable now.
Social
Well a few things, I have a K800i cell phone,
and like a teenage boy I have forgotten about my K750i, with mutters of psycho bitch about it, with whispers of true love and where have you been all my life to my K800i. It screen is so much bigger and brighter and it understands my feelings so much better. It also has 3D mini golf, I am just waiting for the memory stick to turn up. Then it will really be something to show off to my friends, kind of like dating the top cheerleader I guess. Though I am sure my K800i has more personality, and doesn't mind being passed around my friends to try.... hummmm maybe it is a cheerleader. The insurance claim for the TV has progressed, and the claim has now been sent to Noel Leemings. Who have to just contact us, about when we can pick up our new TV. We think are are getting a Sony KF42E200A 42" 3LCD BRAVIA Projection TV.
Which looks better than we first though. But then some time in 2009 they are changing the standard that TV signal is sent out on, to digital which means every one will need to upgrade their TV's or buy a decoder box. So this one will do until then and the new standard is mainstream. Though it does mean we need to rethink about what DVD's we will buy and whether it is worth it, as at the moment it is uncertain whether HD or Bluray will be the new standard. Personally I think it will be HD because Sony, although has the better standards screws up by demanding every one pay them rights to use it, rather than letting 3rd grade asian rip of places have a go and making it more affordable. On Friday work had a pizza and beer night, but more of that latter. Today I am off to have Mother's Day dinner with Nick's parents. Which should be good.Games
This will be the week for Drunk, we should get Gruul and Nightbane down. As last week we got both to 9% which was good. Last night we played Warcraft 3 Hero Siege. Which is a Warcraft 3 mod that just gives you one hero and you have to survive. Once we got the hang of our hero's it was good. The game won though. WoW really needs to put in some better thought out battle grounds, as they could be a lot of fun - at the moment they are repetitive and to large. I have yet to try arena yet.
Being a better person
Time for me to be honest. I weight 89.5kg and it is time I did something about it. I don't want to go on a diet, as a couple of my friends in Auckland have gone on diets and now instead of having fun they complain about pizza and discuss how many ways you can eat lettuce. Obsessing about food - no matter what the food is, to me seems unhealthy. I think the best way to do it is a gradual lifestyle change that stays for life. I mean I can appreciate a work of art, but I don't spend all day thinking about what I can look at and what I can't, today I can't have any Monet, but I am allowed as Van Gogh as I like. Just because I see it doesn't mean I have to buy it. Once you have the mind frame the rest follows. But I can definitely say my walking is making me feel a lot better.
Books and stuff
I have finally finished the series I was reading.
And have stared a new one, again by Robin Hobb. Shamans Crossing. Only a chapter into it. So can't say much. 
I went and say Pan's Labyrinth which was amazing. I now know why it won so many awards. It has something for everyone and is just good. Will definitely be adding this to the DVD collection
Last night night watched The Painted Veil. Which was .... it was OK. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. It you liked the Constant Gardener - then you will like this. "But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." I assume you dream.
