Starlight Express

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:53:32 GMT

I'm getting a group together for Starlight Express on Sunday 5th July at 6pm.
There are no trackside groups available but there is A reserve.
Including the booking price, it's $100 a ticket, which *is* pretty
steep, but worth it I think.

I'm aiming to book at the end of this week, so get to me asap, please.

:)

As usual, I am the asian one.

We didn't think we were going to get to do it, but someone was late for an announcement, so there was a break in the programme and we had the music ready...

Thanks to Beau for filming it and Jenni for putting it online ;)

Birthday Wishes

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:10:25 GMT

Hey, it's my birthday and I am still far away from many loved ones. Also, I want *presents*, so please give me the present of commenting with a birthday wish for me.

Regan's Play

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:37:56 GMT

So, my fabulous gal-pal, Regan, is starring in a play at Porirua Little Theatre and I'm going to go on closing night (Sat 28/3/09)

Some info: http://www.iticket.co.nz/eventdetails.asp?eventvenue_id=1263

Muggle, Beau and I are going to go on a table together, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone else wants to go with us before I book. Tell me *before* 10.30pm tomorrow, Friday.

Jj and G are also going that night and it's also kinda a birthday celebration thingy for me. You know, in case you needed more reasons.

We're leaving Ireland today. On our way home via LA. Our laptop broke hence the lack of posting for a while.

Not really an Update

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 22:24:07 GMT

Just thought some of you might like to know that we're in Paris. Waiting to meet up with TP and sokky. We're sharing a hotel room (more like suite!) with them

Beau and I voted today!

I also lost my hat, which I only bought like 4 days ago. What. a. gyp.

*mwah*

Currently behind on posting by 5 cities. d'oh. At least Luxembourg City was small.

Parcels!

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:08:17 GMT

Went to visit my c/o buddy, Homebody, and I had 2 parcels. One was my order of hipsters from Thunderpants (super comfy and hard wearing so perfect for backpacking when laundry may get chucked into hostel dryers). The other was chocolate from Sok!! Yum! 2 flavours I haven't tried and I def like them both. The postcard was also much appreciated. We're currently staying with 2 Kiwis (who have lived in Wgtn) and the "Wellington Design" photos were found to be amusing by all.

Yays.

Schoc chocolate is seriously some of the best in the WORLD. I know, I'm there ;)

Edited to add:
Later that evening, Beau and I went to our old flat to again check for mail and I had a postcard from Jenni! Squeee!

I loves me my snail mail :)

Thanks Sok and Jenni :)

Home away from Home

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 09:42:35 GMT

We are back in Cork until Tuesday. Internet here is good and we don't have much on, so if you see me online feel free to chat. Skype dates may also be organised ;)

I blogged more at the other place.

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:26:50 GMT

I am in Edinburgh, in my pjs. I should get showered, dressed and outside!

I blogged yesterday before leaving Cork. Is at the other place.

Bonus Post!

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:48:19 GMT

Double meaning as this post is just to say that I got a parcel today! Has much Kiwiana that I intend to pass on to the Irish.

If you are in NZ and see Muggle, please give her an extra huggle from me. I already called her to say thanks, but, y'know.

Custom Ponies!

Everything changes and stays the same

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:05:51 GMT

Yeah, I posted this yesterday.

The gist is that we have decided to move out of our flat even earlier, at the end of *this* month. So, any post and stuff that isn't going to arrive in the next 2 1/2 weeks will have to be sent care of friends of ours. This is totally ok and possible. It's likely that our flatmate will be moving out too, otherwise it would be fine for you to keep sending stuff here.

Squeee!

Yay for July Babies! My BFF Bean just had a baby girl, 8 pounds 4. She was 2 weeks overdue and Bean was going to be induced tomorrow.

I get to be a faux Auntie again!

I'm so smiley right now.

One of the DAs has realised that I type much faster than he does and has been giving me screeds of hand-written notes to type up. It's nice to have something useful to do (I haven't forgotten your editing Beau! I'll do more today), plus he buys me Cokes. :)

Here are some things I think worth linking to and why.

New Zealand swim-wear label Ginger Lover. I was first pointed to these beautiful vintage styled swimsuits by the now defunct Special Knives blog. I keep going back though, to look at them and drool. Their sheer pretty almost convinces me that buying togs online is not a bad idea. They have ruffle-backed bikini bottoms!!!

Dr Horrible's Tea of Evil is a black tea blend. The company Adagio Teas also has a range of "Serenitea" inspired teas! The Kaylee looks especially num. I don't know if you can get in NZ though :(

The Tor website is giving away free books in various digital formats. I think for this week only though. I may have downloaded many for later perusal. Mmm, bookses. The same page also has links to downloadable cover art.

And now a special something for those who love things both crafty and geeky, Geek Central Station is an etsy seller who makes geeky, geeky amigurumi, aka incredibly cute crocheted toys. She specialises in LotR and Starwars ones, but has done many others. Check out her flickr for even more photos of the awesome.

What, you thought you might get actual content... from *me*?

Apparently I will do typing for Coke... or just to relieve the boredom, whatever.

Time for some mini-games!

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:33:59 GMT

Have added a couple of photos to facebook. You see why I *need* an animated icon?

Dr Horrible

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:54:45 GMT

Today I am all about pimping Dr Horrible.

Click, watch, enjoy.

In case you need some more info, is a Joss Whedon online project thing. I really enjoyed it.

A series of unfortunate events x-posted

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:56:57 GMT

1) While jumping up and down on a trampoline, Homebody dislocates his thumb.
2) On the way to the hospital, they encounter a huge traffic jam due to a horse fair on the next day.
3) On leaving the hospital, Neid, in the car, during the rain, through her hoodie, is stung by a wasp.

Basically, we had a great time in the country!

:)

Point of Fashion: No time to think.
Current Obsession: sleepy

Also, does anyone have either the time to make me an animated gif LJ icon (I have the pics for it) or an easy tutorial for me to do it myself.

My day at work, so far

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:24:16 GMT

10.16am
I'm so hungry, I must eat my lunch now! I'll still be hungry at lunch-time though, so will have to buy a sandwich or something.

I knew I should have eaten breakfast!

It is the weekend for you guys already. I is Jealous.

pootle, poootle, pootle.

Work is incredibly quiet. I have been here for over an hour and the phone has rung *once*. Everyone else wandered in late and I bet they leave early too. Unfair!

I have many packets of biscuits inthe drawer next to me and they are calling my name! No! You seductive sirens, I shall not succumb to your wiles.

10.20am
Second phonecall of the day!

Ok, I've eaten *one* of my sandwiches, that should last me until my morning tea break. I'll get a cup of tea and a biscuit then. Just *one*... maybe two. I stopped having sugar in my tea though! That surely counts for something.

Time for some mindsweeper and spider solitaire.

There is no foodblogday today. I didn't feel like it. I did blog some nonsense though.

I also have many photos to deal with. Le sigh.

Swinging and Winning

Some thoughts on our Swinging Social last night. It's a type of *dance*.

Also, there are some *nice* moustaches.
