I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills - 1:37 PM
2 comment(s)
I def did not get enough sleep this week and used Saturday to catch up on it. It seemed to be social event after social event. Also I use a song quote and movie quote each week, post a comment if you know it.

Work
It manged to get most of my standard compounds through my GABA assay. Along with attending the Annual HortResearch quiz on Wednesday night. My team was the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. We didn't do that badly, but neither did we win, in fact we drew for second last, and got chocolate fish for the effort. I also discovered that I have learnt lots from woman's magazines.

Social
Small side note, the cats found a predator in the house. It was disguised as the toilet paper. They took it out good.
Fangs and Monkey
On Thursday night Nick got in trouble. We went and saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with my friend Kelly and her husband. Instead of having ice cream Nick said lets go to the pub with my friends. I was ok, Hummmm. They were on the viaduct and parking is a bitch. So once parked, we head to the bar. Nick has no idea where it is and gets us lost. I stick to water, and soon get tried and bored (well not to bored, the music was 90's girl pop, so I was singing away) So at 10.30 I said, how much longer Nick says, one more hour but you go home and I will get a ride with Mark. At 4am he stumbles into bed. No I should say falls down in the hallway and drags himself to the bed and then falls into it. Stinking of expensive booze. I was not happy, but he did make it to work by lunch time, and he did make it to Spookers. Which was great, and we will be going back in summer to do the maize events. In groups of 5 they send you through the house, the 3D vortex and forest. The 3D one rocked, and was the most amount of fun. Though I did jump lots, people jumping out of walls and that. All good fun. We met the Mad Butcher too.
Terry, Nick, The Mad Butcher and me
Fully suggest you going here if you are in Auckland.

Games
I blew my internet cap downloading Avatar: The last Airbender so no gaming for me, not that I had much time any way. My friend Shaun said that he would play with my character, since he was the one that said watch Avatar, which by the way was great. I have a question for you Shaun, When does Zuko learn to air bend?

Wellness
I have lost my first 10kg Which isn't to bad considering I started on the 25th May. So just under 2 mths. 20kg to go. Last week was a bad week and hopefully the scales won't be to mean. Lots of bad food and driving the car, need to walk for an hour to day to make up for it. Next week I will do better.

Cooking
I haven't done any cooking this week worth mentioning, but I will be making these today (I know Kelly will read this and will ask for them, so I have to now) Which will be delicious.

Five-spice Fruit Friands
Ingredients
Spray oil
200g soft butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups ground almond
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp five spice powder
1/3 cup trim milk
1 tbs fruit juice
1/2 440g can apricots, drained and sliced
icing sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Lightly spray a friand with a little oil.
Place the butter in a bowl. Add sugar and beat, until creamy
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after adding each egg.
Sift the baking mix, baking powder and five spice together and add to the mixture alternately with milk and juice.
Spoon into the prepareed friand pan. Place the fruit on the top
Bake for about 10 min or until a skwer comes out clean
Cool and remove from the pan and serve sprinkled with icing sugar.

Media
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, well if you have read the book you will know that a lot happens in plot summary to the series of books, but as a stand alone movie, not a lot happens. Watch the previous ones before seeing this. It will make it better.
Ginger Snaps
Ummm this was a Nick choice and yeah, didn't really do anything for me. The special effects reminded me of Brain Dead.
Deja vu
This was different to what I though and kind of sweet. Not bad, but not a you must see this. If you see this at the video store and you need another one to fill out your 3 for $10 then it will be fine.

Projects
Nothing to see her. To cold and busy to do stuff.
