GIP. Again. James in a hat ... *drool*

Okay, so here is a rundown of my weekend.

Friday:

My boss left work at about 1.30/2.00ish and tells me I can leave now too. That would be awesome, if she didnt pick the one day I was staying in the city to go out after work. Of course the one day she says I can leave early I cant anyway. But then I decided if she said I could leave early it meant I could leave work and go shopping. :O) So I did. I bought a few DVDs - The OC Season Four (the only season I've bought - Ryan/Taylor FTW), Dead Like Me Season One (so I dont have to borrow it off my suster anymore) and Liar Liar (it was on sale).

Then E (my sister) and I went to Lygon St and had dinner. It was drizzling but we still decided to eat outside coz the cafe was hot and stuffy, and there were large umbrellas so we wouldnt get rained on. Which was fine. And then it started raining sooo heavily. Biggest raindrops ever. And it was fine, we got a bit of mist from the edges of the table but still not rained on. But then I realised, all the rain was falling onto the ground, and rolling down the slight slope of the footpath, and the bottom of my jeans got soaked. Not fun.

Then after eating we went and saw December Boys. It was good. It wont be for everyone - very character driven, as opposed to plot driven. Dan was excellent. Seriously. As for the Oz accent, I thought it was really good. I could hear the Brit coming through once in a while but on the whole, very good. I wont say more for those of you out there who havent seen it and dont want to be spoiled.

Saturday:

In the morning (like 9am) E and I went shopping. I needed a new top for the hens night I was going to that night (and for my trip) so I needed her second opinion. We did a few other things while we were out before I went back to her house to make a post over at hermione_ldws saying the result and challenge posts would be coming later because my net at home had died. Thats right, it has died again. Stupid bigpond. Anyway, then I left E's and went to pick up auxetoiles23 from the station.

auxetoiles23 and I are going overseas soon but we hadnt actually met each other before. LOL. But it was totally great. *squishes her* I took her back to my house coz my mum wanted to meet her. I think my mum wanted to make sure she wasnt a 45yo male or something, since we met online. LOL. So she met my mum and I showed her around my place and some of my stuff from my last holiday. Then we went to Highpoint. Got some food, did a bit of shopping for the trip, and went and saw The Nanny Diaries. It was okay - not as funny as I hoped but still okay. Pretty much what you expected it to be. Then we left and I dropped auxetoiles23 at the station before heading home. The next time we see each other will be in London!!!

I got home from Highpoint, got changed, and then my friends L and C picked me up to go out to the Hens Night. Honestly, C and I were a bit confused as to why we were invited. We arent that close with the bride (we were friends in high school - though not even close friends - and we only really see each other once or twice a year). Anyway, L dropped us off (he somehow didnt get an invite to the bucks night, despite being better friends with the groom than we are with the bride AND living with the groom for a bit in the past). C and I decided we were there because a) another high school friend is maid of honour, and we are close with her, and b) to make up numbers. LOL. Anyway, it was at one of those theatre restaurants. It was an okay night. There were a few funny moments - the climax of the show being one of the male actors gracing the stage in a Borat mankini comes to mind. LOL. So wrong but so funny. C and I didnt go out afterwards - L came to pick us up and I went home to bed.

Sunday:

E and I were supposed to go see Stardust. But by then I was knackered. LOL. Also, our older sister J was having one of those Enjo parties, so we thought we should probably go. So I went to J's at about midday so I could user her net for a bit before the party. The rest of the day was spent on the couch watching The OC.

So hopefully E and I (and her boyfriend) will be seeing Stardust some time this week.

Since I have had no access to the internet, I have been skimming my flist at work. It got up to something like skip=250. If I missed anything, please let me know.

Re: fic. I have been working on my smutty_claus fic, since its due a few days after I get back from my holiday. Alas, that means I have had to put aside my 7spells series. For those of you who remembered the writers block I was having with the smutty parts - I have written a bit more since the last time I complained about it, but its still not done. *cries* Hopefully I'll come back from my trip all rejuvenated and finish it in one go. *crosses fingers*

Holiday Countdown - 10 days to go
Work Countdown - 7 days of work left

If you made it through all of that, I salute you!! :O)

Hope everyone has a good week.
