I love pasta. It's so easy to cook and yet so totally tasty. I brought the good stuff that you boil in water, then heat up the sauce and pour it over. Mmmm. Tasty. I'm watching American Beauty on Sky at the moment. It's a fantastic movie. One of the best movies I've seen in a while, that's why I'm watching it again.
There is only babble and wibble below, so don't read it if you're hoping for some really juicy gossip or anything. Then again I could just be saying that to throw you off the scent!
Ha! I wish...
Still haven't figured out a way to publish more private stuff on here. I really don't think it can be done easily, so I'll just keep writing it in my other Journal and leave it at that. End of story, timeout and stuff. Trying to make it so only certain people can read it would cause more hassle than it's worth. They did invent email for a reason too I guess!
Didn't do much with my weekend either, of course all it did was rain and rain and be shitty and rain. Same as today actually, at one stage the hail was so bad that people stopped working and went to the windows to look at it, it was that heavy and making that much noise against the glass.
I was going to go flat hunting again this weekend, but that was based on the fact I was ment to be getting my backpay from my new contact last Tuesday. They still haven't managed to pull their finger out though and give it to us all. Next Tuesday we're promised, so I'll hang out for another fortnight and continue to drive to work. I've found if I leave about 7am I can drive there without having to sit in too much traffic... It only takes about 15-20 minutes to get to work. If I leave much later than that it's more like 25-35 minutes instead, especially if it's raining, which of course it's done everyday I've driven to work so far.
My car (the one I hate and despise with a passion) seems to be holding up really well. The fact that I'm driving it around all the time with the windows down and the heat cranked up seems to be helping the evil nasty smell that it has developed. I don't think it's ever going to go away, somehow the boot of the car has gotten really really damp and horrible. But at least when I get in the car in the car now I don't want to hurl my breakfast/lunch/tea anymore.
Ok, so maybe it was never quite that bad but it really wasn't pleasant I promise!
Like I was saying though, the car is holding up well. It's due for another warrent of fitness soon, so I'll pay a little bit more and get the people to do a really full-on proper safety check (The WOF is only basic stuff, will the wheels fall off tomorrow etc). If it comes back as safe then I'll drive it around for a while longer, if it comes back as "death trap" then I'll trade it in and get a real car.
Work is nuts. I could write a bit long rant about all the stuff that's going on at the moment and how it's driving me insane and how soon it's all going to turn to custard and people are going to get yelled at, but it'd probably bore you to death. Plus, as I've said before, you never know exactly who's reading this website. Crazy people obviously. Whoops, did I say that? Sorry loyal reader.
I'll get a holiday soon enough though, seeing as I didn't suddenly decide to jump on the plane on Friday. Mum's 50th is coming up in August (and my 26th! Gawd! I'll be offically crusty) so I'm going to fly over to Sydney for that. There's a couple of my mates who live over there too, so I'll be good to catch up with them if they're around.
No other juicy gossip or anything sorry folks. I'll have to go a bit nuts or something then I'll have heaps of wild stuff for you party animals to read.
Till then,
Tim
PS: Checkout what I was doing on this day a year ago. I can remember that so clearly, I really can't believe all the stuff that's happened to me since then. NZ certainly has been one rollercoaster ride.
PPS: Rob, Denny and Miley are doing well! A big wave hello to all three of them!
