So...

Yesterday went really well, I got a lot done not just on paper but in my head as well. I kept working until 7 when C gave me pizza. I even went to bed pretty early thinking that I was tired from all the work but I ended up with a pretty sleepless night. I had some good thoughts however most of it was just worrying.

The saying goes, "worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair, they both get you nowhere". I'm sure that's right but why do they still sell rocking chairs then?

My tickets haven't gotten here yet, nor has my new Timulus, nor has the fabric I orderd for school :(

I just changed the water for my betas, they're so pretty. Okay - must get back to work.

Old faces

Today was my TRS day, I spent it reading my... readings. I have started writing my context in ICT use, which maps out my history of ICT use personally and professionaly. Which got me thinking about bushmoo. I looked up jay ruddell on google and found this... is jay really a pilot? It does look like him:

Such a povo OP and he still manages to get a good job...

And can I just say that there are too many Pamela Colletts out there? Just look it up on Google... it makes me feel less like an individual. Yes the Pamela Collett clones will take over the world, we will hunt you down and... i don't have the imagination to finish that. Must get back to my ICT context.

EDIT::: C just gave me a link to a lego animation:::

And I found a link to Komala's blog - I used to visit her and Pamela (http://www.apsylus.com/) a lot.

I got sick of seeing the URLs pushed over into the info section, hence the stars.

What (a) weekend?

It's been a busy weekend. We got home at about 2:30 and so for an hour we have been cleaning up. I've just finished with my craft room, I actually want to take some photos of it - just to help me remember what it looks like before it gets covered in bugs again...

I'll be tracing off patterns tonight - so I plan to put something into the DVD and while away the hours.

Good news on the ICT course front, the weekend course went really well and I have affirmed some of my previous plans.

lets try this again

Sometimes I wonder what I am doing with my life? I wondered this just before as I sat here trawling the Internet for places that sell show ribbons (that have their prices on the Internet anyway) for a fundraising event that will drive me crazy, all for a week in Redcliff with a bunch of kids, and I don't even know if I am going with them anyway. I felt this way because I visited JamFancy and remembered that she has her own doll range punctuating that fact with a very cute ad that I keep watching. Some girls have all the luck.

Tomorrow the tickets go on sale - I will try tomorrow morning first up.

I also want to point out that someday - one day - I will have a lovley looking space like these:

I chewed off a fingernail this afternoon, and I haven't got half the things I wanted to do done yet... why won't blogger let me publish this page!!!

Trails

I am very swamped at the moment. We only have three weeks left of school, with all the assessment that comes of that, my ICT course, pottery last weekend, a conference this weekend, a stall that I have to start sewing more in a few weeks time... it goes on and I won't bore you any more.

Cool things in the last 7 days have been:
- Gregg saying that next year I can start teaching Art to the senior students
- organising the Gwen concert - Lisa says she want to come to
- my Japanese craft books arrived
- purchasing another Timulus from an Aussie
- producing pottery stuff was so much fun


Things I am looking forward to:
- Easter Holidays
- the belief that next week will be great
- sitting down and sewing something nice
- getting my kstarr wigs

I stayed up and watched Anego last night, so I was super tired today. Monday is a great day for me though because I get heaps of ICT work done. Anyway - had a nana nap this afternoon - but I missed choir.

Gwen Stefani is coming to Brisbane - just not in the school holidays - like a week or so after it - Ugh... C says that I should save up and take a few rais days and go anyway. That would be awesome but I'm too scared to do that... I could probably stay with someone though which would cut down on costs.

I'm going to eat some steak tonight - we haven't eat red meat in a while - so I may be lacking iron but at least C won't get gout.

My finger nails are looking nice and artificial today - with white tips and glitter all over them. I was asked several times today if my nails were fake - :P

Stuffed

I'm stuffed, actually I am fcuked. Just got home after helping at the canteen for the football, it finished at about 8:20. So if I round off, it has been a twelve hour work day. This week has gone quick, but it was still tiring.

C had his birthday yesterday. He is now offically old - 27 - that's almost 30... by the time I'm 27 though, I promise I won't think it's old. Never to old to play with dolls anyway

My wool is selling on ebay. This morning I bought two japanese books, one for children's clothing the other for doll's clothing. But I'm going to save up for something good.

Ugly Betty's Boss's Mother is the "Boss"

Perhaps a confusing title I know but I have been watching Ugly Betty this week. David and I have been trying to figure out who the boss's mother was and this afternoon I had an 'uhah!' moment. She's from "Who's the Boss?" I love that show - it used to be on TV1 in the mornings but they stopped that late last year.

I'm sure I watched every episode when it was on orginally - Tony was a hottie.

Severely tired tonight - C was snoring heaps last night- should've moved to the couch. I put up some wool, fabric and dolls on ebay this afternoon.

Almost to the hump day of the term.

Who called my mobile twice yesterday?

Sad in the head

I'm sitting here - tired and sleepy (double synonyms - must find the technical word for that again) but I can't go to bed because I am downloading the last file of Waterboys again - because we found out just towards the end of actually watching it - that the last file was not whole. This usually wound't present a problemt - I would jsut let it go, leave my system on and sleep the night away. Tonight I can't because there is a planned power outage in the wee hours that might scumm up my computer - and also will shut down the servers at school. If I had none about the outages I would have turned the server off over night because our UPS that I purchased for the school servers haven't arrived yet :(

I'm a little zocked because it has been all work around here lately - I haven't been able to get to the post office for days so Lisa's present won't even get to her by the end of the week even if I post it tommorrow - which I doubt I will be able to... Instead Tomorrow she well get a phone call and a promise to send her pressy asap. This makes me feel crumby as I have had her present ready to go since the holidays.

Oh shit - my download just finished - Yes! Time to sleeppppppppp............. z Z z

Finding love in all the wrong places

Pretty much says it all really. I wonder if they would let a person sell their 'love' on ebay? They didn't let that guy sell his soul...

Watching "It Started With A Kiss" again, partly because I'm saving my download limit and partly because I'm a sad individual. Joe Cheng is a very good looking bloke though. C will always be my number 1 though!

This week I totally forgot that my senior classes won't be at school - YES!

Air obics

Who needs the gym when you have to hang out washing in winds so strong that clothes get ripped out of your hands. Just trying to keep the clothesline still and keeping the pegs from flying away is enough of a work out.

Flickr is down so no wedding photos for you...

Pullip Overload

Photos are taken:


I really like this photo of Shinku


MNU! All that is cuteness are in these shoes


Another close up


Dodgy shot of the the full doll - I need to learn how to take photos other then macro and scenery!

Take a break from Rozen Maidens...


I won the 'lovers' from an Aussie Ebayer. If I ever see a Pullip on Ebay that is Australian - It is really hard to resist not purchasing them. Anyway - I put in a bid for Sage (whom I call Saji) and won and then I thought that he would be lonely without his girlfriend and put in a bid for Nina (whom I call Nini... Can I see a pattern here? Nono?). So I ended up with both.


So cute - he is blushing and he wears hair clips...



These are two outfits that I have finished. I might sell one of them.

Lub lub lub this

It's the weekend - my camera is working again, and I have some photographs to take. But before that I wanted to show this from Molly Chicken. Look for the cup wall hanging!!!

molly chicken

We all now how I love to give personalities to inanimate objects - the simple fact that I can talk to a coke can or a pencil makes me either creative or deranged. But putting faces on things just suits me to a tea - that is why I like mypapercrane and some of the japanese cute things. At the moment I have two sets of wooden draws infront of me that a smiling so cutely.



Talk about cute Japanese things. This was from My Litle Mochi where she has some other links about it as well:

But I had better go and take pics while the light is ok

Some good - some bad

Today went pretty well - I like my classes so far - tomorrow won't be as great though :(

I just finished Smiling Pasta - altough the turtle thing started to get on my nerves I thought it was a good drama. The guy wasn't as cute as Ken Chu though - but only Joe Cheng could rival Ken. I'm so sad in the head I know.

My Rozen Maiden Pullips got here today - but my camera it's working so I have to take photos at another time. They look great and I am happy that I got them even though they were pretty expensive. I rue the American Dollar.

Lovely Complex

Oh how much do I love this manga (stoptazmo)??? Ga Suki Desu!

And I finally downloaded the movie (daddicts somewhere) and watched it - so cute!

So today I have done a fair bit of cleaning, read some manga, watched a movie, and am about to go to school I guess to get some work.

Work of sorts

Well - it looks like I might have some buyers for my shoes... Yeah! Today I refined the t-shirt pattern for the boy Pullips. Ruth will be sending me Nina and Sage tomorrow - so hopefully I will get them on Monday!!! Still haven't told C yet - but that's okay - it is my money.

The new high school teacher, Troy, got back to me about the units, but I have to resend one of the them - must do that after I finish writing this entry.

I have slowly gotten my craftroom back into shape - calling it my studio would be to pompous.

Okay - must go and send that unit.

Woah Girl...

Sometimes I get a thing in my head and I can't stop thinking about it. Lately it has been Pullips - but dolls have been it for a while. Which reminds me - My Pinky:St has melted a little and leans forward!!! It's Mai too so a rare Pinky at that!

Anyway - I have bought two Rozen Maiden dolls (which is very exciting) with my share of the wedding money. But I'm always checking out the Pullip section on Ebay, especially Aussie sellers. Last night Sage and Nina were up for auction... they are matching boyfriend and girlfriend in a school uniform.

But no one was bidding on Sage - so I snapped him up for $70 Aus. I was very happy with that - but then I started thinking about for Sage without his girlfriend and how much I would kick myself if I didn't put in a bit for Nina. So I bid $80.50 and walked away. Turns out that I won Nina as well... Man am I broke. But from Pullipstyle.com Sage costs $88 US and Nina costs... Hmm she's out of stock. So I feel very lucky.

I put a heap of shoes of Ebay yesterday and I have a few watchers.

Holiday snaps? Part 1

This may prove a bit of a big post - but that's okay - right?

This post is about the extremes of my holiday actually. So the first few are ones of us driving through a fire between Herberton (my home town and where we stayed with my partents) and the next town Atherton (Where the shops are).


Driving into the smoke


Flames on the side of the road

On the way home we stopped into Cardwell for a break. We get fish and chips from the first 'fish and chips' shop coming into Cardwell from the Tully (another town) direction - it's the blue and white one just incase you go to Cardwell. Anyway the lady who owns the shop sounds like she has constant PMS - she shouts at you and tells you crazy stories - but she makes the best fried seafood.





Then when we were almost home - after 11 or so hours of driving - we came across this storm... It was pretty awesome with lightening cracking over the car, rain coming in horizontally and visability at an all time low.




A patch of blue

Some random photos - one of a frog and the other an orchid of Mum's.





So - here are some photos of the Pullip girls:

Hmm

Hmm, why do I not have any information down the side????

On the dumb and marrying dumber

Can you believe how dumb I am? I forgot my username and password for this Blog. But it is obviously okay now...

Well I am now married - trying to get some photos today from the photographer. The hitch went off with a few hitches...

1. Just remember if you want something done right - do it yourself even if it means you have to do it while in the gown (at anystage of the day - to print out toast cards, to write signs that tell people where to put presents and wishing well money while they are waiting to put their presents down, to feed the starving cat).

2. The person you are marrying sticks his head in the sand and has a memory of a goldfish - or just ignores you when you are telling him important information.

3. Remember that the power can and will go out while your parents are cooking dinner for 60 odd people.

4. Three bottles of bubbly is fun on the night - not so fun the next morning.

So we are all a little over the wedding - but everyone that I managed to talk to loved both the ceremony and the reception and it was nice to see everyone.

Yesterday I sewed four pairs of jeans for my Pullip boys - with my share of the wishig well money I will be buying two Rozen Maiden Pullips - Yeah!
