EEEEEEEEEEEEEK

Ok today I'm excited.

We checked out the place yesterday evening, and it's a very cute old-style building. It's pink. It's got quaint small-paned windows. Creaky wooden floors. It's very big, quite cute, really, in a big, old way. The parking bay is across from the front windows.

I've made a list of things that they need to fix up, like there's a broken tile on the side of the bath, the basin is cracked and yucky, there's a UK-style wall plug (what's WITH that?), the light switches are a bit fidgety, the cupboard in the 2nd bedroom doesn't close properly, but most of all, the windows are a bit dodgy. They (to me) look like they'd rain in, and would not be the most stable/strong windows. Also, their burglar bars are basically THICK chicken-wire, which is just NOT FUNNY. So I'd want them to fix those things up then I'd wanna stay there for ages. Also, strangely, there is no phone fitting. Is that because they CAN'T put a phone in? If so, then we can't get internet = shit.

Best of all, the place is VACANT, so maybe we can move our stuff asap! That would be nice. His place has been taken, so if we can move our stuff before the end of the year, that's perfect. We're gonna go to the agents at lunch time.

Stuff we'd need to get for the place: curtains! A double bed. A proper-size fridge. A stove/oven. Couches. PLANTS!! I guess I'm all excited and want to make it a home asap!

I'm also amped because I'm making serious headway with Warpy. He's looking STUNNING!!!! Apparently the office is closing early today so I'm going to have hours more to stitch!!!!! (with treats and music, of course!)

Yes, the office closing is another exciting thing. It's one of the bosses' birthday today, so we're having pizza for lunch. At 12:30. And apparently we're going home after that!

I'm bored now. My ipod is charging - bummer. Lunch is in half an hour then we are going home!!!!

YIPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Will post a pic of Warpy as soon as I can. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Frantic Festive Season

Been stitching a lot on Warpy, it's coming along fantastically, I'm still hoping to finish the half before the end of the year. It might not happen but I'm still gonna try.

G's place has been taken, so this evening we're going to look at a flat in another part of town. At least for a 3 months contract to look for a better place, but hopefully it'll be LOVELY and the real thing! Can't wait to go look.

Sis got a car! So exciting! A 1600 automatic Citigolf. Not sure what year it is but it's not brand new. It looks good though. Have yet to see/experience it in action, hopefully will get to soon! Dammit I MUST get my learners soon and then drivers, I want my *own* car!

I hope GI & GS arrive soon, I'm really getting overexcited impatient about them! I CAN'T WAIT!

I also can't wait for tomorrow to come, actually for it to be this time tomorrow, cos then it's just an hour and 35mins til HOLIDAYS. But still a day to go. I'm amped about Xmas eve at my place, Xmas lunch at G's parents, 2nd Xmas lunch at my place and then NY's party near W's place! YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! It's PARTY TIME!!

Strange how updown things are LOL! Could be due to sugar ;) I've been sipping a Just Juice so maybe that's why.

Got a physio appointment on Sat, 3rd one, my muscles are fine now but it's just to fully relax them. I seem to have a rather tense "rigid" back, I guess my muscles are stringy and tight. At least that pain has gone!

Nothing else much to write about here, am busy trying to read Thud by Terry Pratchett.

Oh god, that's something to blog about: the temp like stinky-ass food! She goes out and buys stuff that stinks like all fucking hell! And this was 11 in the morning! Fish and chips! Holy fuck but did I feel nauseaus!

Anyway, it's 15:30 now, I'm so impatient for today to END!!!!!!!!

Happy times, sad times

It's nearing the holidays, there are only 5 days (including today) til then. Then I'm on leave for 3 weeks. I need the break.

Christmas is coming! Going to have Xmas eve at my place, Xmas lunch at G's parents' place and then a 2nd Xmas lunch on 26th at my place. Cos Mom and sis are going to be at aunt+uncle and I'm going to be at G's parents, and it'd seem lousy having a no one home Xmas, so we're just having it a day later.

That's in a week's time. Xmas!

Then New Years', but I don't know what plans have been/are being made.

Mom has finally come to the realisation that Honey (our 16 year old Flabrador) is old and unhappy. But only because Honey's basically incontinent now. Sometime this week she's going to be put to sleep. I don't know how I feel about this. Despite having been upset how old and unhappy she's been, it's still sad. But I almost feel detached and unemotional. Not sure. Not nice. I won't be there, at the time. Is that a good thing? A bad thing? I don't know. I don't do these things well. Not with the pet hen, not with the budgies, not with dad, I just don't.

GI and GS should arrive soon. I haven't got a reply to my email yet.

We might have found a nice place, but it's not certain yet.

I dunno.

Bla

this is a very very bla day.

We didn't get that place. Some cow got their MOMMY-dearest to do a deposit in the morning, thereby basically *ensuring* she got it. Which is shit because she would have seen it AFTER us and the agent KNEW that we were interested. Shit-heads.

Felt decidedly bla anyway, despite this. So G and I went out for lunch. I went a bit late because I'd been in a meeting with bosses. They were talking to me about my new job etc and stuff. Found out about my pay increase which isn't that much but anything will do.

Got to the coffee shop only at about 13:10, and G was there already. Ordered a cappuccino and a salmon and cream cheese toasted sarmie, G ordered a coffee and an egg-burger. We waited for about half an hour, and THEN only got our coffees. Our food was delayed so we had to take it away. Thankfully the lady was very nice about it and we didn't have to pay for the food. But still. So I got to have my sarmie an hour later and a microwave-turn later so it wasn't as nice as it would have been.

That seems to be the gist of today, really. Everything so bla. Can't find any nice places online, anywhere.

Looking forward to Friday, I hope I survive that long!!

Can't wait to just go home and chill. Want to stitch. Concentrate on something like that. Therapy. Accomplishment - making it look more and more like a picture, even if it is slow.

I'm very annoyed that I haven't received any email from the Xstitch kit people. Yes, they SAY on their site that their replies to emails aren't really snappy, but still. If they've already "made payment" which they do only when it's being shipped, surely I should have had an email? Dunno. I'm so fed up.

Can this year be OVER already?!?!?!?!

It feels like Friday



Today (and basically every day this week so far) has felt like a Friday. I think because it's quiet and I'm bored, and cos it's sunny outside and it feels like something big is happening soon - which it is. Office lunch, holidays. Moving place! That is going to be so exciting! Might have found a RATHER nice place quite nearby to G's current place. It's quite posh, it's got a lift, security gate/electronic gate and everything! Very nice. Probably going to go see it tomorrow, if all goes well.

G's starting the packing process. He's gotta be out by the end of the year. He doesn't have that much stuff but it'll still need packing. It's fascinating to see his stuff, particularly old photos! So cute!!!!

I'm so bored now, nothing to do. I'm sitting listening to my ipod and sending faxes right now, as well as blogging and blobbing on the Pond. NEARLY completely done with my Xmas shopping....................................

I'm so eagerly awaiting the arrival of GS and GI... the payment's been made, but I haven't had an email saying that it's being shipped. I have emailed to ask about it and am waiting for a reply... EEEEEEEEEK so exciting!!!!

Sis passed all her subject for this year/semester/study unit! YAY 'BONE!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

What else do I have to blog about? Well, it's now been 4 months since G and I went on our first date!!!!!!! HAPPY 4 MONTHS, G-MAN!!!

AH SHIT MAN! My ipod battery just died! And there's still 50mins to go til hometime!!!!!!

Anyway! Now there are 38mins to go.

I'm bored again.

ZzzzzZZZzz. There are so many things I WANT to be doing but can't cos I'm stuck at work. It's so annoying!

Oops un Doons

I felt like blogging but now I don't.

Today is Thursday

It's one of those lovely drizzly days, not cold and not windy.

I love this kind of weather. Ideally I want to be in bed with hot chocolate... dozing and taking it easy.

I'm so bored. I was about to type "intensely bored" but how can boredom be intense, if it were intense it wouldn't be boredom it'd be an experience.

My eyelids feel nice and heavy now, it is after all approx 12:30. And today is a no-lunch day so BLEHHHHHH. I have to stay awake through that too!

My fish are all fine now. The 3 lone neons in the little tank are skittish but that's to be expected since they're used to lots of other fish being around them. If they look healthy enough I'm going to put them in the main tank. Only worry is whether they're just a tiny bit under-healthy and if they'd pass that on to the others. I REALLY need to do a waterchange this weekend, cos now the tank is full it has to be cleaned more regularly (once a week).

Weekend wexperiences

Went shopping on Saturday morning, finished all my Xmas shopping except for 3 people. The centre was quite busy. Popped in at G's parents' place for a bit and got talked at by their parrot. Even got to scratch his neck!

Had a rather mellow Syndicate, just chilled and chatted and had pizza.

Sunday mom, sis and I were supposed to go for a drive in memory-acknowledgement of dad's birthday, but the weather was unpleasant so we couldn't. It was extremely windy and hiking/going to a look out place on a mountain wouldn't have been fun.

Dumped the black neons into the main tank, so all that're left in the little tank are the 3 neons (the 4th one died) and the kuhli loach. This time I had the energy to catch the black neons but I don't catch the kuhli loach unless there's a maximum of 10cm of water hehe. Otherwise it's impossible. The black neons settled in nicely.

Was horrified to find a packet of freeze-dried tubifex worms (fish food) had been infested by weevils. Dumped it all into the tank and the fish ate a lot of the worms! I just hope they ate the weevils too.

Supper last night was RATHER STRANGE. Mom brought crayfish and 'hotnotsvis' home with her from her holiday, and it was rather gross to see the whole fish and whole crayfish defrosting in the sink. The fish had its fins, eyes, everything. It was RATHER gross. And crayfish are just creepy anyway. Mom cooked the fish whole, so it was rather gross seeing the fish with EVERYTHING, cooked. Cooked eyes? *pukes* Mom shelled the crayfish after cooking them, but yuck, it was so ugh. And then I got to taste the crayfish a bit later, I took only a small forkful cos it REALLY DIDN'T APPEAL. Took a sniff and then took a taste: it tastes like the smell of a stinky dirty fishtank *puke puke puke puke puke!* GROSS MAN it's so gross!!!!

I so badly wish I could just go cuddle up in bed. I feel so tired and sleepy, I just want to doze and sleep and curl up and snuggle. The office closes in 14 working days' time (including the 2nd half of today and the first half of the day of our office lunch when we have to come work).

Ahhh to sleep, sleep sleep and away!

*yawns*

I think I have other news but I forgot. If I remember I will post it.

OOOH wait yes, I remember!

G put an order through for Golden Ice and Gentle Strength! I'm gonna transfer the $ back to him once they've taken it off his credit card. It's so exciting! Lemme try find a pic to paste! Ok no, I'll post pics from home.

YAY I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Can't wait yay yay yay! Still got a lot to finish on Warpy, but I'm sure it won't take THAT long. Done most of his head, still got a bit on his face to do, and then his whole neck! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Memories

Smelled something or was reminded of a smell from years ago:

It reminds me of (a) cold, miserable, rainy day at school... frozenly walking in the corridors, past the office area with staff room. The smells of coffee or tea, and biscuits. The hint of warmth, comfort on soft couches, the warmth of proper clothes. Not for us, such comfort. That's the only word I can think of, to describe it: "comfort".

Freezing in my uniform, in skirt and shirt, with stockings which don't keep the cold out. Nothing keeps the cold from going up your skirt. Wearing a jersey and blazer, which do nothing to keep your body warm. No chairs even, at breaktime. And cold water to drink, no warm drink. No food to be heated, just pre-packed sandwiches. Nothing to warm you up from the inside. Chilled to the bone. Blotchy, pale, blue skin. Frozen.

A bad day

We've seen all the messages that say that "This happened to a friend of a relative, so I know it's true." Well, this one combines all of them into one. Delving into virtually every hoax currently circulating, the anonymous author of this gem paints the picture of a very bad day!

Subject: I know this guy...
--------------------------------

Dear Friends,

I know this guy whose neighbor, a young man, was home recovering from having been served a rat in his bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. So anyway, one day he went to sleep and when he awoke he was in his bathtub and it was full of ice and he was sore all over. When he got out of the tub he realized that HIS KIDNEYS HAD BEEN STOLEN and he saw a note on his Mirror that said "Call 911!" But he was afraid to use his phone because it was connected to his computer, and there was a virus on his computer that would destroy his hard drive if he opened an e-mail entitled "Join the crew!"

Now, this guy knew it wasn't a hoax because he himself was a computer programmer who was working on software to save us from Armageddon when the year 2000 rolls around. (By the way, it's a little known fact that the Y1K problem caused the Dark Ages!) His program will prevent a global disaster in which all the computers get together and distribute the $250.00 Neiman-Marcus cookie recipe under the leadership of Bill Gates. (It's true! I read it all last week in a mass e-mail from BILL GATES HIMSELF, who is also sending me a free Disney World vacation and $5,000 if I forward the e-mail to everyone I know!!! :)

Anyway, the poor man then tried to call 911 from a pay phone to report his missing kidneys, but reaching into the coin-return slot he got jabbed with an HIV-infected needle around which was wrapped a note that said, "Welcome to the world of AIDS."

Luckily he was only a few blocks from the hospital-the one where that little boy who is dying of cancer is, the one whose last wish is for everyone in the world to send him an e-mail and the American Cancer Society has agreed to pay him a nickel for every e-mail he receives.

I sent him two e-mails and one of them was a bunch of X's and O's in the shape of an angel (if you get it and forward it to 10 people, you will have good luck. But, send it to less than 10 people, and you will have BAD LUCK FOR SEVEN YEARS).

So anyway, the poor guy tried to drive himself to the hospital, but on the way he noticed another car driving along without its lights on. To be helpful, he flashed his lights at him and was promptly shot as part of a gang initiation.

So, forward this to all the friends who send you their junk mail and you will receive 4 green M&Ms. If you don't, the owner of Procter and Gamble will report you to his Satanist friends and you will have more bad luck, your wife will develop breast cancer from using the antiperspirant which clogged the pores under her arms, and the US government will put a tax on your emails forever!

The Ultimate Chain Letter - love this and HAD to post it again!

Hello, my name is Basmati Kasaar. I am suffering from rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, extreme virginity, fear of being kidnapped and executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion f--king chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, then that poor 6 year old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her off to the traveling freak show.

Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send 'his' email to $1000? How stupid are you? Ooooh, lookyhere! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by every Playboy model in the magazine! What a bunch of bullshit.

So basically, this message is a big F--K YOU to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain, which was started by Jesus in 5 A.D. and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower, and if it makes it to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity.

F--k them. If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the 'send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being' forwards about 90 times. I don't f--king care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own unpopularity.

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS:
**************************************

**Chain Letter Type 1**
(scroll down)




Make a wish!!!




No, really, go on and make one!!!




Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!!




Wish something else!!!




Not that, you pervert!!




Is your finger getting tired yet?




STOP!!!! Wasn't that fun? :)

Hope you made a great wish :) Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes:

Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your life.
Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter and will napalm your house.
Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!

**Chain Letter Type 2**

Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Oh, and remember, we have absolutely no way of counting the emails sent and this is all a complete load of bullshit. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly. Thanks again!!

**Chain Letter Type 3**

Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no e-mail then and probably not as many sad pricks with nothing better to do. So this is how it works: Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:

Bizarre Horror Story #1: Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!!
Bizarre Horror Story #2: Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, some people swing that way). They both died and went to hell and were cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen To You Too!!!
Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be okay.

**Chain Letter Type 4**

As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends.

--Friends--

A friend is someone who is always at your side,
A friend is someone who likes you even though you stink of shit, and your breath smells like you've been eating catfood,
A friend is someone who likes you even though you're as ugly as a hat full of a--holes,
A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself,
A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad, sad life,
A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by mad goats, then thrown to vicious dogs,
A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English... * no, sorry that's the cleaning lady,
A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true. Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never have sex ever again.

**************************************

The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years, whose only saviour is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Pamela. Right?

Now forward this to everyone you know, otherwise you'll find all your underwear missing tomorrow morning.

Today has been boring

Tarra pplz!

Have a fun weekend y'all! Rock on, funk on, have a BLAST!!!

Today was boring and bla

Ok it started well, when everything I needed to do fell into place and worked beautifully.

Then it became un-lunch time. And I was already starving by that point. Got a lunch bar and small niknaks (got the messenger to buy me some). So all I've eaten today is a bowl of cornflakes, a lunch bar and a small packet of niknaks.

I'M SO HUNGRY NOW!!!!!

G's flat-viewing curfew sucks. The traffic up from work to his place is so bad we only get there at 17:30 which is when the hordes are supposed to attack. They hardly do.

Ok but I have to run now it's nearly hometime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updates

Ok here are THE PICS!!!!!

Warpony, as of this evening, and the tank, as of Sunday.



News and views

Stayed over at G's flat last night, and had a rather unpleasant wake-up this morning.

In that state of complete confusion you get when you are woken up by something and you can't comprehend what is going on, I woke up and there was this penetrating sound, going through my head. As I woke more I realised it was someone's car hooter that was stuck and being disturbed by it I sat up and moved the curtain aside to look out the window.

Across the garden in the parking lot outside someone's car was up in flames. The flames were 3m high or so, covering the entire car. The hooter was stuck, probably the wires had melted together. It went on and on... this unwavering, mournful note.

There were people around, possibly the car owner who was shrieking and shouting, absolutely in shock. There were some people with hoses which were rather ineffectual, seeing that their hoses weren't long and they were basically creating steam since they didn't actually go close to the car. Which is perfectly understandable because every now and then something would happen like a window broke or a tyre burst, and then the engine flamed bigger.

The hooter kept going.

Flames, flames and then smoke when the fuel tank burnt up.

Still more sounds of glass breaking, tyres bursting...

Finally, the hooter died too.

After everything seemed to have been burnt up, and the flames were digesting the well-charred body of the car, a fireman came and took charge of one of the hoses. Sprayed the flames, killed the fire.

The fire died. The fireman had taken charge and, in his hands, the hose became a thing of power, able to kill the fire that it had merely spritzed a few minutes earlier.

Disturbing, that. The whole episode. What it symbolises. A loss. Irrepairable damage. Of something seemingly so stable and reliable. A car is always there. Perhaps temperamental, sometimes or often not starting, or broken down, perhaps with a broken window smash-n-grab, but always there. Stolen is something different. Then it's just gone. But burnt to a shell... no. There is something more upsetting about that. Specially if you leave things in your car, trusting that it will be safe til next time. Drivers' licence, sunglasses, CDs, usual things a person leaves in their car.

Seeing the car shell a few hours later when looking out the window while getting ready for work... such destruction. Sabotage most likely. It was a jeep and had a canvas roof, but even so. Something had to start that.

Malice. Spite. Hatefulness.

Such incomprehensible things to someone who hasn't that kind of thought process. It's like stealing: it'd never occur to some people to steal something. They simply don't think in that way.

Mantra: streamline your life.

Leave nothing behind... but keep your precious things with you. Precious things being "fellow beings". Not saying live like a monk; take care of your possessions, but it's the people (and animals) that count.

First things I'd run in to rescue if the house was burning down: the dog+budgie, because my family would be running with me.

Good grief but this is a FUCKING DEPRESSING POST!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OK *grins* enough of the sombreness.

Cheerful thought for today: Telkon has reduced their adsl fee, so at the end of the month I'm going to have an extra R50 left over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Project Fishtank - Status: AWESOME!!!

Ok, I'm sitting down to snack on some Niknaks. It's 12:15 and I've been more or less busy the entire morning. Good for a change. Got to draw that map from Airport to Office, it actually looks cool but no thanks so far *rolls eyes*. I had fun drawing for a change, though.

Project fishtank update:

Yesterday morning woke to see the Congos mating. The other Congos aren't bothered, but the other fish keep close cos the falling eggs are FOOD!!!! So no chance of any baby Congos. Maybe one day I'll have a Congos/Hatchetfish-only fishtank, and they'll all breed. Not only do the little fish eat the falling eggs, but there are snails around too. And yesterday I had to do a waterchange so I'd have vacuumed up any leftover (not-yet-eaten-by-snails) eggs there.

So yes, did a waterchange. Tested the pH before putting the new water in it, and it's about 6.4. Quite acidic but it explains why they're so ready to mate: tetras like acidic water for mating. Teehee.

I also used a scourer-type thing to clean the algae off the glass. Not much build-up, but it DID make a difference.

After doing all that, and setting it all going again, I took the glowlights and the lone rummynose from the tiny-tank and put them in the big tank. The lone rummynose is a bit bigger than the other 4, but after a while (he? she?) settled right in as one of the shoal and got his/her bright red nose back - rummys' noses go pale when they're not happy. Originally in the big tank there WAS another rummynose, but that one also seems to have gone to fish-heaven. One day it was looking a bit sickly, the next day it's gone without a trace! I've looked everywhere for it, there is simply no sign of it whatsoever.

The glowlights settled in happily.

The black neons in the little tank are all healthy, I just didn't feel like catching them last night as they are RATHER frisky and damn difficult to catch!!!!!

The kuhli loach will mostly likely LOVE the big tank but he is also a bugger to catch.

The neons however, might be a problem. The one is looking a bit sickly (possibly age or neon tetra disease - probably will die soon), and the other has some strange cyst/growth under its eye. The other two look ok but I don't want to put those in the big tank like that.

But anyway, the tank is looking SO GORGEOUS!!!! Everything is working now, the only "problem" is that some of the plants keep uprooting themselves. A lot of the plants died off, but the ones that haven't are going strong. Perhaps I will go buy more of those plants seeing as they are successful. Not sure, don't really want to go to the aquarium shop anytime soon in case I am tempted to buy some more fish!! Although, maybe I should, seeing as I want to look into a water hardness testkit, and nitrate/nitrite/ammonia level test kits. Things like that.

AAAAAAAAAAAh it's looking GORGEOUS! Will post pics when I remember to take photos!!

Another thing that's coming along is WARPONY! I've been stitching a bit lately and it's coming along. I'm really amped about it now and hope to finish the right half (Warpy's face) before the end of the year. The left half (his neck) seems simpler, it seems to be bigger patches of single colours compared to the confettiyish face!

Te's somewhere in USA now, haven't heard from her yet, I hope to see her online soon! Hope you had a FANTASTIQUE trip!!!

It's already nearly 13:00. Oh yay, the temp who usually sits for me on a Monday has gone off sick. Yay. So today is a no-lunch Monday. At least today's gone fast so this afternoon should too. YAY. And, I have the Pond and other things to keep me entertained hehe!

Damn, if only work was quiet enough for me to stitch, or hell, even study the learners' book. Damn! That's something I've been pushing aside for a while!

Ok, things To Do this week include: tidy my desk and sort out all those papers!!! Make various payments. Stitch. Get last few people's Christmas gifts. Look into the learners' license thing *looks sheepish*

I love summer. The warm air, basically not being cold. I'm really enjoying wearing short sleeves without going blue and having bits fall off from frostbite!

YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it amazing what ENOUGH SLEEP can do for a person? YAY!!!!! Caught up on sleep Friday night. YAY!!!

For the record

I am no good when I am hungry.

I am hungry now.

I am tetchy now.

ARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
