Changes
So I've had a weekend away. Tomorrow, I'm heading back home, and in those few, short days, so much has changed.
On Friday, when I left, everything was normal. Then we heard that it started coming out, all of a sudden, in big handfuls. I don't know what to expect when I go home now.
I know she's still the same person, she still feels well, she's still the same in herself.
It's just scary.

Rich Man, Poor Woman
It's been a long time since I have done a review post, probably the longest between review posts ever. There are two reasons for this, one is that I was working away down in London and therefore had at least 2 months of not watching drama at all, and secondly, that this series just didn't grab me enough to make me watch it constantly.
Rich Man, Poor Woman is the story of a young and arrogant IT genius who can't recall names or faces, Hyuga, and an honest and kind job hunter with a good memory, Natsui. On applying for a job at Hyuga's company, Natsui lies about her name to gain Hyuga's attention, and so gets hired temporarily to help the company secure a business deal. She becomes invaluable to the company, and begins to fall for Hyuga despite the competition from his business partners sister. Through ups and downs, their relationship grows as Hyuga becomes a better person with Natsui's help, although he obviously doesn't realise his feelings until the last episode. Then they live happily ever after.
I'll be honest, I don't think this series was the best one to come back to Asian drama with. It was predictable and unoriginal, basically the same story as so many other dramas, just with a different premise. That's not to say that it wasn't good, more that its just so familiar now that its hard to get really involved in the story and characters when you've seen different incarnations so many times before. Granted, the whole smart media business was interesting, especially when you know that the products you were seeing would be the latest technology, so at least that was different.
I did like the character of Hyuga, played by Oguri Shun. He's one of the big ones in Japanese drama, with major roles varying from the original Hana Kimi to Hana Yori Dango as poor Rui, obviously with a Gokusen link in there as well. It was interesting to see him playing a completely different character, as even though he is so recognisable, he does have a talent to make you forget his other roles. I think the last series I saw him in was Tokyo Dogs, where he played such a straight and rigid character that really contrasted with the radical, almost child-like mind set of Hyuga. Natsui was a little more stereotypical heroine, with no money yet hopelessly cheerful, and granted, while Ishihara Satomi played the role well, I just wish that the character was a little more interesting, that she had a little more depth, a little more attitude. Unfortunately, in my experience at least, that's rare for adult female characters, especially in Japanese drama.
Would I reccommend this series? Yes. Especially if you're still relatively new to Asian drama.
Would I watch it again? Probably not.
Next up is Faith, and back to Korean drama. It's skipped up the charts like noone's business, back to before My Baby and I, which is kind of annoying because its messing up my list.
OH! It's got Lee Min Ho in, I'm suddenly not so bothered any more :)

Sleeping
The boy came to stay this weekend, and one morning, while I was in the shower, he found the link to this blog on my laptop and decided to read it .... gulp.
He says he only read one post, Out of Sight, Out of Mind, which wasn't the best one for him to see. So I made him read his Bo section on NaBoWoDraK-Po to make it seem less negative. Did you guys get that, by the way? Na was for nanowrimo, Bo was for boy, Wo was work, Dra was drama and K-Po was obviously k pop.
Friday was a good day. I finished NaNoWriMo! I wrote like 5000 words before half 4, giving me more than enough time to tidy the house and myself before he arrived at quarter to 10. We had a quiet night in, and then on Saturday, we went to the German market, where he brought us matching German market mugs*. Then we went home, and he fell asleep from about 6 pm til the next morning ... granted I fell asleep first, but I woke up after an hour or so, he just kept sleeping. I got so bored after checking all my social networks and playing games that I eventually went downstairs and watched half of Star Trek with my parents. I went back up feeling super guilty for having left him and he didn't even know I had been gone, so I put Fast Five on because he never lets me watch it ... but I fell asleep at the end. On Sunday, we were going to go to the cinema or a walk to do the Tolkien Trail, but ended up watching films in bed all day instead because it was warmer.
Now I think about it, it doesn't seem like we did much.
I don't care. I had a really lovely weekend.
*What does that mean?! He doesn't want a relationship but he gets us matching souvenirs? I'm starting to think its not so much that he doesn't want a relationship, but than he just doesn't want one with me.

10k 3 days.
I have three full days left in which to write 10 000 words.
This time last year, I had 11 300 words left, a massive 7 500 of which I wrote on the last day.
This year, I'm very much hoping to be finished in good time on the 30th, because the last thing you want if a boy comes to visit is to still have a sizable chunk of NaNoWriMo left to complete.
The problem is that I have hit my 30k slump 10 000 words too late, and even though I'm so close to the end, I am finding it so hard to be inspired to write. It's even worse when this is the ending to a story I have been writing for 4 years. It's been in my head for so long that it should be almost effortless to put into words, and yet, I find myself sitting down to write and hours passing by with only a few new words on the page.
Even worse is how, in reality, my three full days are really only one and a half. Tomorrow, I'm sending off friend who is going on a working holiday, so that;s one day out, and I need to be finished ASAP on Friday.
I'm not without a plan though. I'm going to wake up early tomorrow to write before I go out. I'm going to write when I get home and not sleep until I have hit 43k. I'm going to spend all day on Thursday writing and not go to bed until I have reached 48k. That leaves 2k for Friday morning and to finish the story.
Loosing NaNo is not an option.

PERFECT DIET
I have found the perfect diet and I just HAD to share it with you. I've lost kilograms in just days and all it took was excruciating pain!
Its called the WISDOM TOOTH DIET, and this is my third time doing it. I'm now the lightest I have been in years!
So, here's how it works. First, you need to be in your late teens to mid 20's. You simply allow your wisdom teeth to grind against your normal teeth, causing intense pain that painkillers don't help. When you can't even drink without being in severe discomfort, you know you're on the right track! Secondly, you don't eat because you physically can't, and next thing you know, the weight will have just dropped off!
I started this diet in August, repeated in September, and am doing it again right now.
You can't fail on this diet because you actually can't open your mouth wide enough to put food in it. Even if you could, pain doesn't taste very good, so you're guaranteed success!
A fool proof way to loose weight quickly and easily is what every girl wants. I found a way, you can too. Try the wisdom teeth diet now.

NaBoWoDraK-Po
So it's not been easy getting back into this blogging thing, especially now its November and I'm pretty sure that I should be donating every letter that spills from my fingers on to keyboard to NaNoWriMo. I convinced my aunt to do it this year and she is absolutely annihilating me ... I've been doing quite well as well! On track and everything. I don't think I've ever been on track.
We'll just gloss over the fact that next week I'll be having 5 days off and need to get ahead.
So what else to tell you? Just talked to the boy on Skype. Its been a week and a half since I last saw him in person. That doesn't sound that long. In reality it seems like an age. I'm heading back down on Friday, or it might end up being really early Saturday, as he found out that he has to work Friday night. That sucks. He had a whole evening date planned, apparently. I like him. A lot. The other day he sent me a text that just said '6 days'. I think he likes me too.
Finally started moving in to my work room - only took 4 months! I'm glad, I was worrying that I would have to go back to my Gran's, and I'm not sure I could handle that any more. Next step is to buy a blind and maybe a rug of some sort and figure out every thing's place. Then start listing up and selling the mass of stuff we have waiting for eBay. My sister had a sort out too, and she's going to bring me her unwanted things to sell as well. I'd feel bad for pocketing the money for her stuff, but I think most of it will be mine anyway. I also have a meeting about going back to teaching and a job interview as a D&T technician, so I may be very busy pretty soon. I may also be turned away from both of them and therefore have nothing to do.
I haven't mentioned Asian drama in a while! I was supposed to be starting on Love Rain, but when I checked the charts, a Japanese series called Rich Man, Poor Woman had jumped a place, so I had to start watching that one instead. It's OK so far. Its pretty stereotypical and its not really blowing me away, but its good enough to keep me watching. We'll see I guess.
OH and Leeteuk, SuJu's leader, has now enlisted in the army. Sad face.

Max Step
SM Entertainment made a new group.
EunHyuk from Super Junior.
Henry from Super Junior M.
TaeMin from SHINee.
Kai from EXO.
LuHan from EXO.
HyoYeon from SNSD.
So basically, my favourite members from my favourite bands*.
You can tell they are the dancers from their groups.
Not wholly sure on the song, or on Henry's styling. He's too cute too look like such a pimp. and I don't know if its just because of Kai and Luhan, but TaeMin doesn't look as young as he usually does.
Also, Younique?? See what you did there, SM.
<3>
*Yes, any member of Super Junior could be in this group and I'd still claim that they were my favourite.

Personal crisis take 2
I am so sick of having to apologise for the simple mistake of being myself.
I know I'm mean. I make a conscious effort to change that, yet I still get attacked for it. Sure, that effort isn't as high a priority as it has been in the past, mostly because I got over my little personality crisis of a few months ago, but maybe I shouldn't have let myself get lax. I want to be a nicer person. I don't want the people I care about to tell me they don't like an aspect of my personality. It's a little detrimental to my sanity.
Along with changing my mean side, means that I need to change my sense of humour, and along with that, I have to change my reflexes. If someone tells me something, my instant reflex is to suggest something. A friend tells me she is bored at work, I tell her to do something to make it less boring. I don't expect people to do what I say, in fact, I expect them to completely ignore me. In fact, every sentence that leaves my mouth, I expect 80% to be ignored. That doesn't mean that I'm trying to fix anything. It doesn't even mean that I'm being serious. It means that I can't help but say the first thing that comes in to my mind.
Maybe this all boils down to letting someone get to close.
I hate hating myself. I hate feeling shit just because I am who I am. I hate that I feel guilty for just relaxing enough to be me.
Most of all, I hate that someone has the ability to make me cry like this just because I was trying to show interest and support.
I know that this is silly, but I needed to vent.
Ignore it.

Block BAP
It's November. You know what that means, right??
NaNoWriMo.
I just wrote 1000 words in 50 mins, so I figure it's about time for a wee blogging break before lunch and Neighbours.
Block B released a new music video a few weeks ago. I'm a little obsessed with it.
BAP are also back and have returned to living up to their band name (Blond Asian People). Not so obsessed with this song. It just seems to lack all the attitude and awesomeness of Warrior, Power and No Mercy. Still a cool video and song though, and I'm glad they are blond again.

Shiny
I got a new laptop!! Its shiny and new and actually works! But I shut it down before I remembered to blog about it, so this is still a blogger for iPhone post. Sorry.
On the Vampire Diaries, the vampires have the ability to 'turn off their humanity'. Its like a switch they can flick when things get too much and they can't handle human emotions and feelings any more.
At some point, I'm going to post about Block B's awesome new song and music video ... Also the latest release from BAP, which may be cute but is also somewhat notsome. This was the post I wrote the other day that blogger deleted, so maybe I'll rewrite it on my shiny new laptop.

FINE.
I wrote a post.
I pressed Publish.
Then blogger crashed, having apparently neither published or saved my post.
So fuck you, blogger, I won't post today then.
.... Oh wait ....

Ottoke
I have things I want to talk about in this post, but I'm really struggling to verbalise them.
It's an issue of morality ... and self confidence. In that I have some of one and none of the other. I'll leave you to decided which is which. Basically, someone wants something, but it has its negative sides. It's the Heart against the Head. Heart encourages actions resulting in happiness, while Head warns against possible reprocussions.
At the moment my head is winning, and my heart is suffering the guilt.

Disclaimer
I don't write this blog for other people to read.
I write because only here can I express myself unreservedly; only here can I share whatever is in my heart or on my mind.
It is, for all intents and purposes, my diary.
That is not to say that I am unaware of my readers, I just don't expect anybody other than those who know me properly to care.
I guess the point of this post is to explain the emotional stuff mixed in with the rest of this blog. The stuff that hasn't been written to be seen, but to exist away from me.
Call it therapy, if you like.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind
There's a reason I keep people at a distance, why I don't let myself feel, why I run away.
Because when you try so hard to let someone in, ignore your head to follow your heart and struggle to be open and honest ... you just push them away instead.
Easier, I think, to just stop trying.

Eye Remover
So, I was just perusing YesStyle (making up a new order because I cleared
out half my wardrobe, and I'm a little addicted to beauty products right
now ... I really want to try sheet masks) and came across this delightfully
entitled product.
'LIP AND EYE REMOVER'?
Yup, I'd buy that. It's in such pretty packaging, too.
Who needs lips and eyes, right?

A catch up
So ... um ... it's been a while. 6 weeks away in the big city and just over a week back home, and only now I decide to face the shame of my poor, neglected blog. I did not do well at documenting this last shoot.
It's a shame really, because it's not like I didn't have stuff to share. One thing is for sure, I wouldn't have struggled to come up with something to write about every day. But, alas, sleep and food took priority upon arriving back at my digs of a night, so let me sum it all up here.
Phew. 37 long and hard shooting days, each filled with sleep deprivation, stress and discontent, and yet I wouldn't have wanted to be any where else. The cast and crew were simply awesome. My bank account suffered, but it was worth every penny ... Or it will be as soon as I get every penny back. I made firm friends, met a boy, brought a dress, and even got the promise of years of paid work to come.
I did, however, live on a diet that consisted almost exclusively of salad and humous wraps on set, and pizza off set. Not that I'm complaining ... I have had cravings for wraps and eaten pizza at least 3 times in the past week.
What else to tell?
The boy is a boy, but I like him. As in, I haven't even started talking myself out of it yet, which is new. We're still just taking it as it comes. I'm a little scared that if we label it, I'll freak and run, and I don't want that. Hmm we'll see ... I'll keep you posted.
I did my huge room sort out as soon as I got back, and now half of my wardrobe is destined for eBay - well, what my sister didn't poach anyway. I keep it lovely, putting the cushions on my bed and lighting my candle, and it's lovely. As soon as we have completely emptied my sisters old room, I can set up my work room in the extension, and get started on setting up my business!
So things are starting to come together ... Now I just need fate to stop fucking over my family's personal lives.

Missing my bed already
This morning I woke up diagonally across my super comfy double bed in the bedroom that I adore. Tonight, I am going to sleep in a relatively tiny single bed in a room that is literally filled to the brim with other peoples clothes. Oh the joys of being a costume designer away from home. Although at least I have a real bed and a host who seems like she will take very good care of us. Opening your home to three complete strangers for a month and a half is a very brave and generous thing to do.
I have a really horrible feeling that I have forgotten something absolutely essential. I don't think I have, I went through everything A LOT, and yet I can't shake the feeling. I think it is just because I am in sole responsibility, I can't blame any fuck ups on anyone but myself. Unless of course they are someone else's fault.
I strongly dislike driving in cities. I really enjoy driving most of the time, but city driving is the most nerve wracking thing, especially somewhere you aren't familiar with.
So my sister and her fiance are taking over my room back home this week. I gave them a strict no sex rule. I think Jo was just grateful to get the opportunity to sleep in a proper bed that she went along with it not even looking at Tim's expression. If he gets his willy out in my bed I'll chop it off. On the plus side, it means that my mum will have cleaned my room for them, which means I get to come home to a nice clean bedroom. I'm going to do a massive sort out and clean when this shoot has finished, and have a pretty room again. Especially now I have a massive candle. I might even start putting the cushions on my bed again.
Right, should probably get to sleep seeing as I have a long night shoot ahead of me tomorrow, followed by a relocation.

Devil Beside You
I finally finished it! I said that I wanted to watch the last episode of this series before I go, and seeing as I go tomorrow, this evening was really my last chance.
Qi Yue is trying to confess her feelings to her crush, Yuan Yi, but instead, her love letter is accidentally recieved by the school devil, Ahmon. Even as her relationship with Yuan Yi starts to blossom, Ahmon is persistent chasing after Qi Yue, which is further exasperated when their parents start dating. Obviously, its an Asian drama and they like to teach that if you hassle a girl she will love you, and so Qi Yue falls for Ahmon and the rest of the series is pretty much about the two of them trying to keep their relationship a secret.
Firstly, I need to comment on how terrible the sound was in this drama. It wasn't just quiet or grainy, hinting at a bad copy, but the whole sound mix was completely off, literally changing every time the camera angle changed, and not even subtly. Its a shame, because it made the whole thing seem a lot less professional than it would have done otherwise.
Despite this, it was a good series. Devil Beside You had a really strong start; it was original and exciting, and the plot moved quickly ... for the first few episodes that is. When so much happens within the first couple of episodes, there isn't really much to keep the pace going. Ahmon was all over her at the start, and then I think they didn't do much more than brood around for the rest of the series,although they did finally show a bit more improvement for the last episode. Having said that, despite the slow middle, it was still funny and enticing, and I especially liked the problems that Ahrang the little brother caused, even if he have a complete personality change half way through. Also, Ahmon was really hot, so that helped the enjoyment factor.
I got a bit fed up of Qi Yue's OTT expressions, although I loved the parents, who were over the top pretty much all the time. I also liked the side story of Yuan Yi and Qi Yue's best friend, even if I do find it odd that she chased after him literally right after Qi Yue dumped him and he went a little psycho on her... but you know, each to their own. I wish I knew what happened to Qi Yue's other friend, though, as she seemed to just vanish.

I made this bright red glove so no one can tell when we are holding hands - Ahmon, not the smartest tool in the shed

The opening titles sum up the series really well, and I quite like the song.
So, in general, it was a really good, funny and not too sickly sweet drama, I just wish that the spontaneity of the first few episodes had stuck through the rest of the series. Also, I didn't cry.
Next up is Love Rain. This is a pretty new Korean drama, with Jang Geun Suk, the guy in all the Korean dramas, and YoonA, who is a member of the Kpop band SNSD or Girl's Generation. I've been hearing a lot about this drama over the past couple of months, and even seen a fair few cuts on YouTube (namely the fountain kiss scene ... it was hard to avoid.) Don't know when I'll get a chance to watch it though.
Hmm, these posts always take so much longer than you expect. Who needs sleep, right?

Picture of you
Some people make my job so easy ... others do not.
I thought I was done. I'd replenished and sorted out my kit, and everything was packed away ready to go (well, apart from my own clothes and effects). Then I get a phone call. Its just sods law I guess, fate trying to wind me up. WELL IT'S WORKING.
Sigh. I understand it, people are busy, but still. I thought I was on top of all this and now I don't know anymore.
On the plus side, people have been sending me lots of photos of clothes scattered on their beds. I'd be flattered but I have a sneaking suspicion its so that I can do my job or something.
No Devil Beside You post because I once again have just not had the hour it would take to watch it to spare. I really want to finish this series before I go as well. Sigh.

Beautiful You
No Devil Beside You tonight. Sadface. It's too late and I have too much to do in the morning.
I have decided I want to be pretty much ready to go by the time I go to sleep tomorrow. All my work finished and all my personal effects for the next 6 weeks packed up. This way, I can spend all of Saturday day time tidying up. I really need to do a proper tidy up and sort out in my room ... and my workroom so I can move it downstairs. I was promised my new workroom for straight after the wedding grumble grumble. Then Sunday I can obsessively check, unpack and repack everything until I have to travel down.
That's all you get today. To make it more worthwhile, here's a picture.
Spot the Girl!
It's from the SM version of Hana Kimi, To the Beautiful You. It's got MinHo from SHINee as Korean Sano, and Sulli from f(x) as Korean Mizuki. I think its just started airing but I'm going to wait until the season's finished

Burn it up
This evening, I was going to post my review of Devil Beside You. That isn't going to happen anymore.
You see, I spent my whole evening altering a document so that it suited me, only to complete my self set task moments before a new version was sent out, thus rendering all my hours of hard work pointless. I had two choices. Start again, or fuck it and watch Asian drama instead. I chose the drama.
However, by this point, my laptop had decided to do that weird mouse thing again where it freezes and just selects everything continuously. More often than not, this happens when my mouse is over the new tab button, resulting in hundreds of new tabs that I cannot cancel or close. I decided to turn my laptop off in the hope this would rectify the problem.
This was nearly two hours ago. Effing laptop is still re-fucking-starting. After it finally does start up, I have a feeling that after closing a gazillion new tabs I'm not going to have the energy to finish Devil Beside You and post about it, so maybe tomorrow, but in the mean time, you get this complain-y post about how useless my laptop is.

Super(glue)star
I has just occurred to me that this is the only medium I have left in which I can post about pretty much anything and no one I know will judge me for it.
That place used to be twitter, but now too many I people I work with follow me, and thus I have to censor myself.
For example, today I was about to tweet about how I just use super glue instead of use thread now, and then I thought that not only the producers but also the artists wearing the clothes I have super glued rather than sewn would be able to read my unprofessional confession. So I have to put it here instead.
In other but unrelated news, I hear putting superglue on cotton wool sets it on fire ... *gets super glue and cotton wool*

Close Your Mouth
All of today I have had a dull ache in the right hand side of my jaw. This evening, it has turned into a swollen sort of pain, and now I can't open my mouth. Great.
It sucks when you don't eat all day and then when you finally do sit down to your favourite meal, you physically can't open your mouth to eat it, and then every mouthful is agony. I just tried to brush my teeth, which didn't so much result in clean teeth as it did in a mouthful of bloody toothpaste.It was a little scary.
I don't know what it is, wisdom teeth coming through, maybe? An infection? Whatever, I do not have time for this shit right now. I have to much to do, too many things to worry about without having to worry about myself. Things are being thurst on me last minute that I have never heard anything about until now. I have to make a pair of cat ears. How the hell do you make cat ears that don't look like complete crap?
Sorry, I'm just feeling very sorry for myself right now, its pathetic. It would just be nice for something to go right for a change.
*slaps face* ..... *winces*
Right, I think I'll watch an episode of Devil Beside You to calm myself down. I'm so close to the end and yet I just can't seem to make the time anymore. Sigh.

Hurts
I just clicked on the blogger quick link on FireFox new tab to bring me here, but it took me to Amazon, so that was weird. Amazon isn't even in my quick links, so I literally have no idea why that happened.
I hate food. I really wish eating wasn't so necessary. Recently it keeps making my tummy cramp, which while not painful, isn't very pleasant. And the last thing that you want right after you've been taken out for an expensive meal is regret that you ate anything because you feel so uncomfortable.
Maybe I'm doing a Miffy and becoming allergic to everything.
Maybe I should stop starving myself for a day or two and then going on a binge.

Like a Dream
I googled google.
I wanted the internet to implode or something. It didn't. Google just came up with Google.
I'm kind of glad I didn't implode the interwebs now that I think about it. Pretty much the point of my entire existence would be no more.
I like how when you type into google 'How do I g' it suggests 'How do I google something'. I think trolls are abound.
'How do I' completes with 'get you alone'. One, stalker. Two, you are talking to a computer screen like its a real person. Dumbass.
Oh wait.

Happy Together
Apparently my mother has been reading this blog ... so thats weird.
It's just occurred to me that its August. Normally, I'd be doing BEDA now. Instead I'm doing BED2012, although recently none to regularily. It sounds pathetic, but I just don't have the energy.
We did some reminiscing this evening. I can't believe that Zante was 6 years ago. We've all changed so much and so much has changed around us, and yet it doesn't seem like it should be that different. Back then, we were 6 single girls going away to spend time together before we split ways to head to uni and work. Now, 2 are married and settled, another engaged and settling ... somehow, we've turned into grown ups (well at least those three have, the other three not so much). It's just sad to think we'll never get to go on a girly holiday again.

Maximum
Shopping is shattering. Especially when you are shopping for other people, while still trying to keep an eye out for yourself. I don't even want to figure out how much I have spent today, even if (hopefully) the majority of it wasn't my money.
I brought a lot of navy stuff. I wish I had the confidence to buy brighter colours.
We did get a Starbucks and afternoon tea in Marks though.

YOUR EYES
Just watched the London 2012 Olympic Closing ceremony.
Once again, the rest of the world are going to think we are a bunch of lunatics. Sure, the Only Fools and Horses homage was hilarious, but surely the rest of the world will just WTF at Batman and Robin getting out of a half blown up car. I know that we are supposed to be famous for it, but I think we might have come across a lot more punky than we actually are.
At one point, there was a man on a tight rope, and when he got to the end and shook the hand of a mannequin, it burst into flame. I have no idea what that was about.
The Queen wasn't there. Just Prince Henry of Wales, whoever that is. He looked a lot like Harry. We think someone had told the Queen that Queen would be performing centre stage with Jessie J in the last quarter, and she got confused.
The fireworks scare the crap out of me, especially when I think about all those athletes stuck in the centre of the stadium right below them. They know not of the danger they are in.
YOUR EYES! PROTECT YOUR EYES!

Dancing in the Rain
Went to see Dirty Dancing at the theatre this evening. It was really good, but a a few things to note.
1) Why throw in all the segregation stuff? I get that it was a huge thing at the time in which the production was set, but it is a stage recreation of a film, in which it was never mentioned. It just seemed out of the blue and slowed down the plot somewhat.
2) Some of the actors voices annoyed me. Namely Johnny. I'm not sure if it was just the accent, but he just didn't sound right. To be fair, it may just be because he isn't Patrick Swayze, but as my mother pointed out, the new guy probably looks better right now.
3) Someone needs to oil the moving stage.
4) I have never heard an audience cheer like that for a half naked hot man putting his clothes on. Seriously, bigger cheers than when he was taking them off.
5) About a quarter of the audience gave a standing ovation for the last number. We were in that quarter. I can understand why the stalls didn't, because they couldn't see that we had, but the other half of the circle must just have been a load of miserable sods.
It was awesome though.

I Talk to the Rain
Yeah, I didn't post yesterday. I didn't want to. I don't want to today either, but I feel guilty, so here we are.
Everything has gone crazy. I went to the cinema this evening, and came out to a load of emails, facebook messages and missed calls. So it was straight back to work. Maybe this is why I liked making the dresses so much, only one person to deal with to rather than a whole cast and crew. Also, more sensible business hours.
I tidied my room a little. I figured tidy room = tidy mind. I think I need to tidy more.
I feel like this sounds like a complain-y post. It's not. It's good to be busy.
Oh, we saw Ted. It was pretty good. I liked Frank Jr's disappearing cup.

SPY
The new Super Junior song. The MV hasn't been released yet, but I cannot get it out of my head.
From beautifuleunsihae86's Youtube
'Go kick it in the butt' .... Really, SuJu?

Outsider
I decided to watch Dr Horrible at stupid o clock this morning, and as a result, throughout the entirety of today I couldn't get the songs out of my head.
Things have been stirring recently, so I'm really hoping a new one is going to come out ... although I don't know why Felicia Day has been around seeing as they killed Penny ... hmmmm conspiracy?
I'm going to stop this post here before I start posting lyrics. My fingers are itching to do it ... my brain maintains the same musical score, on repeat.

PS - Just heard SuJu's new song, SPY. The teaser made it sound so much more ... not a piss take.

Dancing Floor
Here's a story of a boy (who grew up lost and lonely, thinking love was fairytale and trouble was made only for me. (ten points if you get this reference)).
All through the week, the boy had spent every available evening fixing a girl's car. He arrived at her house at 11 am on the Saturday morning, and worked almost solidly until 7 pm, until the car was healthy and well again. During this time, the girl had heard that one of her friends had been given a free box of doughnuts, and was very keen on test driving the car to the friends house to help her eat them.
The girl promised the boy that in return for the work that he had done, she would treat him to dinner. So they went to the friends house, and while the girl and the friend ate chili heatwave Doritos and babybel, the boy cooked the dinner. They ate the dinner on the floor and then ate a load of doughnuts, until they couldn't eat anymore.
That was when the girl and her friend decided to teach the boy how to dance. A few hours later, the boy had mastered the basic steps to 5,6,7,8! including dancing to the whole song ... twice.
Then the boy got home and realised what had happened, so he probably had to shave or lift weights or something to restore his sense of masculinity.
The end.

My problem at the moment is when it comes to writing my post, I find I have nothing to say, hence the edited posts of the last few days.
Apparently, I have a lot of page views from Russia. Like a lot. Like over 100 more this week than the UK, which is 90 more than the US.
So HI RUSSIA, I guess!

Heartquake
Last month, just short of 1300 people visited this blog. That's ridiculous.
I'm too tired to blog right now. Maybe I'll do it all in the edit tomorrow ... again
<3 class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">br
="br" x="x">
EDIT:
Okay, what the crap is going on with my less than threes? I swear they aren't like that when I publish the post (even if my eyes are closed). Maybe I have to come up with a new signature that blogger doesn't rape with letters and punctuation.
Last full day at the office. When I was 16, the two week stretch seemed like forever. Now, it seems to fly by. Maybe its because I've got things to do now, or have just got used to spending hours on end doing nothing. To be fair, my day is pretty broken up.
Get in (9.15)
Read paper (9.20 - 10.30)
Internet (10.30 - 1)
Lunch (1 -2.15)
Internet (2.15 - 4.30)
Spider Solitaire (4.30 - 5.30)
Go home (5.30)
I'm not quite sure why I wanted to share that with you.
So, this weekend, while I wait for a sum of money to be transferred into my bank account, I might have a Fast and Furious marathon. I also want to watch House of Flying Daggers. However, I know I am far more likely to just watch Devil Beside You. It started off really well, getting to a stage in the first episode that it normally takes half a series to get to. Now, its kind of tapered off a bit, which is a little disappointing, although I still can't stop watching it. So maybe I'll just spend my weekend waiting for something to happen, like getting hit by a car and making out on the road again ....
I should probably go and check in with the grandparents ... which means I'll have to find some photos of the wedding. So basically, I'll actually be spending my weekend on facebook and then shouting to old people (I get told off for shouting at them).

Shake it!
It's August ... how the hell did that happen??
I am also just about to hit `10000 page views on this blog, so that blows me aways as well.
<3 br="br" x="x">
EDIT: ummm so someone was sleep posting again last night.
Sleep blogging + pissed off = very little effort.
Sorry.
We went to see Magic Mike last night. I don't think I have ever seen a cinema screen with literally no men in it before. Even Twilight had more guys in attendance.
Sure, its a film about male strippers, but in amongst the topless men there were a fair few topless women as well.
The plot was a little predictable and I'll admit to switching off slightly until they started taking their clothes off again, but in general, it was an enjoyable film. It wasn't too romance-y, nor was it too objectifying, focusing on the fact that these boys can dance as well as the whole stripping thing.
Mostly though, it just made me want to watch Step Up and dancey films like that.
I wish I could dance. Unfortunately, it is something that needs natural talent. For example, Channing Tatum has it, whereas I think Alex Pettyfer just learnt the routines. Its the same with most entertainers. EunHyuk of Super Junior has natural talent, KyuHyun only knows what he is taught. Its obvious when they are asked to improvise and Hyuk can just throw something out there in a second, while Kyu looks like a bunny caught in headlights. A very cute, evil maknae bunny.
Right, time to stop getting distracted by strippers and SuJu, and head out to get a drink and some fruit for lunch.

Set Me Free
So I've been watching a hamster lately. Literally.
A friend asked me to look after her while they were on holiday, and I literally just watch her.
She amuses me. She turns her food bowl upside down all the time, so she's messy. Earlier, I watched her push her poo out of her ball and then roll away so she obviously has some standards. Food everywhere is fine, but poo lives elsewhere. Which is fair enough!
I think she has an identity crisis. When she first existed, she screeched like a parrott. Now, she is either standing on her hind legs like a meerkat or hanging off the ceiling like a bat. I mean sure, it's difficult to know you're a hamster if there are no other hamsters around to compare yourself to, but I hear it's just as well as she would probably eat it anyway.

Alarm Clock
I hate having to go to bed early. Mostly because whenever I know I have to be up early, and it is pretty important to have a good night's sleep, I find myself wide awake.
Right now, I know we have a huge day tomorrow. I haven't slept well this past week - not anything to do wth anything other than not changing my sleeping habits despite having to get up 2 hours earlier (I didnt even get a lie in this morning because my mechanic was coming to fix my car*). I don't have much energy because I keep forgetting to eat, so an early night to re-energise would probably be wise. It's nearly 1 am ... Yet all I want to do is watch the next episode of Devil Beside You.
One more thing.
IT'S TOMORROW.

*which he did, and then he found a load more problems to fix. Aces.

Dancing Out
I kind of wanted this post to be somewhat of a reflection of the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, but now I think about it, I don't know what to say.
Was it impressive?
Yes.
Did it blow me away?
No.
I didn't like how our history started at the industrial revolutuion, rather than even hinting at the rich and influencial past we have not only nationally, but across the world. The actual production? To me, it lacked something. Precision, maybe. I have such vivid memories of the Bejing opening ceremony and how the synchronised sections were so utterly flawless that it took your breath away. In London, the timing always seemed ever so slightly off, especially in the first 'history' section, and the non-professional performers stood out like an extremely awkward sore thumb. The guys who were really getting into it were great ... the very British half hearted-ers were somewhat disappointing and a quite frankly a little embarrassing.
The Queen being delivered to the stadium by James Bond? Epic. Mr. Bean? Amazing. The British humour mixed with renowned characters is something that the majority would understand. The GOSH and NHS tributes were awesome, especially when combined with classic children's British literature, but I couldn't help but think that to an outsider, it would seem that the NHS exists to give children nightmares.Also, I'm fairly certain the commentator said 'Voldemart' and 'Chucky Chucky Bang Bang.' so I have no idea what to make of that.
Basically, it was truly British all the way through ... whether this is a good or bad thing I am unsure. I fear much of it will have completely gone over the heads of many of the visiting countries. On the plus side, at least the whole world knows how weird us Brits are now.

Sunny
Huh .... so I didn't blog last night. I can't say I have any recollection of not blogging, so I'm not sure why that happened, but it did so what can you do.
Its really hot here in the UK at the moment. Or rather it's really hot here for the UK. Part of being British is complaining about the weather regardless of what its doing. I like the nice weather, but I don't handle heat well. I sweat like a sweaty thing and that is not a good look. I would rather be too cold than too hot, yet I feel that may be something to do with having a summerless wardrobe ... its not something that is normally needed here unless you go on holiday lots.
Anyway, so naturally when its warm out, you have the windows open, allowing unwanted guests to enter freely. I mean bugs. Moths are everywhere, as are nasty little knatty fly things and even normal fly things, and they all have a tendency to fly at my face. I'm a bit bored of it to be honest.
What else can I tell you other than my insect woes? Someone keeps distracting me from doing work in the afternoons by looking at posh houses for sale. Regardless of the competition, I still feel that Hawkstone Hall is the way to go. If 6 million were to suddenly drop through my ceiling right now, I'd buy it ... maybe after I'd had my ceiling repaired.

Last Gift
It only really hit me this evening that the wedding is this Sunday. The Sunday that is only 4 days away. The Sunday where everyone will be looking at the bride in a dress that I made, and judging me accordingly.
Frankly, it terrifies me. Firstly, its a church, so I'm scared enough of breaking down in a big mess of fear and vomit as it is. Secondly, I don't want people to think she was a fool for letting a friend make the most important dress a girl will ever wear, regardless of the emotional sentiment between bride and dressmaker. People are bound to not like the dress, they always do, and many will think because it wasn't brought in a shop then it isn't good enough. I'm so afraid that the Bride won't like it on the day, or that there will be something wrong with it. I care less for the bridesmaids, but I am scared that all the above will apply to these dresses as well. What if I hemmed them wrong, what if they are all too long and we all trip over them, or too short and we all look stupid, or uneven and I look like a terrible dressmaker? What if, what if, what if ... I could go on forever and it wouldn't make me feel any better.
Mostly, I am terrified of the speeches. I do not want everyone's attention to be drawn to the fact that I did anything. I don't know how much the Bride and Groom are winding me up, but I have been told I have mentions in every speech and a freaking paragraph in the Groom's. I can't handle that. It was OK for the wedding last month, I was one of two. I can handle been part of something else, just please, don't throw me to the wolves all alone like that.
I might just hide under the table.

FACE
I finally got my proper Asian BB cream! I went for the skin79 super plus VIP gold beblesh balm.
It is 3 effects functional beblesh balm.
Intercept ultraviolet rays UVA and UVB at the same time and protect your skin exposed from the sun more thoroughly.
Phyto complex ingredient which is good for skin moisturising and soothing makes you skin always moist and healthy
Or so the box tells me. It also said "DIRECTIONS: Use it proper quantity on the area of your face." so that was useful to know.
I liked the little squat pump bottle. It meant I had to pump it on to the back of my hand which made me feel all professional. I guess its hygienic or something as well. Not that much came out in a pump, but I could use most of it over my whole face with the leftovers to concentrate on problem areas.
The coverage was OK, I still felt like I needed to conceal under my eyes and any blemishes, as well as to set with powder to get rid of excess shine, but as you can (hopefully) see below, there is no denying that it completely smooths out my skin tone to give a blank canvas. I had heard about the grey, ashy look until it oxides, although I can't say I really noticed it. It felt nice on my skin, not to heavy, and blended really well. A little really does go a long way.
Sooooo all ready for the wedding now ... scary! Time has flown by so quick, I can't believe everyone is actually growing up.
In other news, my mother and I have decided that I should be an English proof-reader for Asian companies, as they clearly need some help.

P.S. - Asian sellers are lovely! I got a free hair treatment and a personally written thank you note with the product ^^

I look so happy. The lighting isn't great, but you can see the difference, especially under my eyes.
Straight after this I did another test of the wedding make up. It feels like a bit of a waste to put on a full face of make up just to take it all off a few minutes later, but it meant I could make sure it is still fool proof and wash my brushes and applicators.

Goong
Wow, this was a long series. I've gotten used to 16 episode series, but Goong was 24 episodes, each an hour long. That means I've spent a whole day watching Goong over the past 4 weeks. A whole day!
Chaegyung is just a normal girl, who is suddenly confronted with the obligation to enter into a political marriage with the Crown Prince of Korea, Shin, through a deal made between their grandfathers many years ago. Chaegyung agrees to solve her families financial problems, and Shin got rejected by the girl he really loved, so figured why the hell not. Right after the marriage, Yul turns up, the former crown prince who was exiled after his father died. Chaegyung falls for Shin even though he is a bit of a douche to her, and both princes fall for Chaegyung, but Yul realises long before Shin, who is still pining over Whatshername. The majority of the plot is about the relationship between these three characters, which is complicated by Whatshername deciding she does like Shin after all, and Yul's Mum wanting to take over the world.
I stick by my first impressions of this series being ridiculously similar to Hana Yori Dango / Boys Before Flowers. Shin was just as emotionally stunted as Tsukasa and exuded just as much douchebaggery. Yul was sweet and pitiful in his unrequited love, much the same as Rui, although I did feel more for Rui. Yul spent too much time crying and feeling sorry for himself, especially at the end. I either wanted him to do something about it or just be happy because she was happy. There was an older sister in both series that seemed to sort everything out, as well as a group of 3 guys loyal to the prince who also happen to be rich and attractive, although they didn't have a title in Goong like F4 did in HYD.
So basically, my point is the plot and the characters of this series were nothing new ... in fact I've seen it many times before. None the less, it was a good show, and it didn't feel as long as it did. It did get bogged down somewhat towards the end in self pity for every character involved, whereas the first two thirds of it were very amusing. Normal girl getting thrust in to traditional Korean life, where they all sit reciting poems at each other while wearing hanboks with stupid stuff on their heads*? Priceless.
I also enjoyed the teddy bear thing. Shin had a beloved Teddy, and in the scenes in his room, the teddy would always be somewhere in the background. Personal favourites were Teddy lounging on a shelf and Teddy reading a book. Trying to imagine the Prince putting his bear in these positions amused me greatly. The Teddy bear reenactments did make much more sense than in Playful Kiss.
So, to sum up, loved it but wished the 'drama' part hadn't been so melodramatic.
Next up is my first Taiwanese drama, with Devil Beside You. I have kind of gotten accustomed to the Korean language now, so I'll be intrigued to experience a new language. I think it will be Chinese ... based solely on Skip Beat being (I think) Taiwanese and in (I think) Chinese ... which I only know because Super Junior are in it.

*Imagine all your hair scraped back, a tennis ball stuck on your head, and then a giant plait around the whole thing with broaches stuck into it. Yup. Or just google 'GOONG QUEEN' and you'll get the idea.

Shin was just as emotionally stunted as Tsukasa and exuded just as much douchebaggery. Yul was sweet and pitiful in his unrequited love, much the same as Rui, although I did feel more for Rui. Yul spent too much time crying and feeling sorry for himself, especially at the end. I either wanted him to do something about it or just be happy because she was happy. There was an older sister in both series that seemed to sort everything out, as well as a group of 3 guys loyal to the prince who also happen to be rich and attractive, although they didn't have a title in Goong like F4 did in HYD.
So basically, my point is the plot and the characters of this series were nothing new ... in fact I've seen it many times before. None the less, it was a good show, and it didn't feel as long as it did. It did get bogged down somewhat towards the end in self pity for every character involved, whereas the first two thirds of it were very amusing. Normal girl getting thrust in to traditional Korean life, where they all sit reciting poems at each other while wearing hanboks with stupid stuff on their heads*? Priceless.
I also enjoyed the teddy bear thing. Shin had a beloved Teddy, and in the scenes in his room, the teddy would always be somewhere in the background. Personal favourites were Teddy lounging on a shelf and Teddy reading a book. Trying to imagine the Prince putting his bear in these positions amused me greatly. The Teddy bear reenactments did make much more sense than in Playful Kiss.
So, to sum up, loved it but wished the 'drama' part hadn't been so melodramatic.
Next up is my first Taiwanese drama, with Devil Beside You. I have kind of gotten accustomed to the Korean language now, so I'll be intrigued to experience a new language. I think it will be Chinese ... based solely on Skip Beat being (I think) Taiwanese and in (I think) Chinese ... which I only know because Super Junior are in it.

Somebody to Love
So it's 3am, and I'm sitting in a massive room complete with desk with a squishy bed all to myself, and even though I've been at a wedding all day, I'm wide awake.
I've spent all of today in the company of strangers; half with strong South Yorkshire accents, half with strong North Eastern accents. Therefore, I spent much of today with no idea what anyone was saying. As if it wasn't awkward enough being in a room with 100 odd people you don't know, I had to struggle with the dialect barrier too.
Also, North Easterners are somewhat more proactive in achieving a personal goal that anyone else. I got forcibly carried to the bar and the dance floor on two separate occasions by two different people.
Everyone was lovely though. The friends of the Bride and Groom welcomed me into their group easily, especially the girls, and in the evening 3 guys came to talk to me one by one for a prolonged period ... It was literally one left, another one sat down. Obviously none of them leading anywhere other than them buying me drinks (free night for me), but it was nice nonetheless, although I went outside for a couple of hours and when we went back in everyone else had gone to bed.
EDIT: Apparently I sleep-publish my posts now. Maybe I wasn't as wide awake as I thought I was ...

Baby U
Why are all baby animals so freaking adorable?
I mean, seriously.
Also funny .... but mostly cute.
In completely unrelated news, EATYOURKIMCHI got a kitten and its so adorable I actually think I might die from sheer cuteness. It's just like BubzBeauty with Chubbi and Domo all over again, but with CATS.

Everything's Alright
Aish, I really can't be bothered to blog tonight. I've gone over all exhausted again, and I can't stop mentally freaking out about how I have two days left to completely finish everything to do with the wedding. It's a bit of a motivation kill as well when you realise you won't even get some downtime between projects, as I've already got a huge backlog of stuff to do for the web series.
I'm half way through an episode of Goong and contemplating giving up for the night as well, so that's how 'bleh' I've come across.

Bad Boy
I got my Remington pearl curling wand today! :)
I burned myself. :(
It came in a huge box, completely disproportionate to the size of the wand, and when my dad brought it to me, he said 'Your buttons?'. Idiot.
So far I'm impressed. It seemed to hold the curl quite well and I didn't use any product. I even straightened my hair and then curled it, and a good few hours later I am left with gentle waves, so it has some staying power. Its my own fault for getting burned though. I was just mentally scoffing at the reviews by people who had burned themselves, thinking how hard must it be to not put your hand on the hot thing, when I put my hand on the hot thing. Idiot.
I also started reading 50 Shades of Grey. Maybe I'm bandwaggonning a little, but seeing as everyone is making such a huge fuss I thought I'd give it a go. In the first two chapters I couldn't help but think it was Twilight for grown ups. Clumsy, plain and inexperienced narrator, works in a family run hardware store (close enough), has an erratic, harebrained mother. Meets perfection personified and is completely consumed.
The only difference was Edward wanted to sink his teeth into Bella ... Christian wants to sink something else into Ana.
So far, not overly impressed. I can't say I have found any of the characters particularly likable or intriguing (Ana is positively Mary Jane) and the writing seems to throw in a few big words to appear more intelligent. It doesn't have the unputdownable factor for me yet, and while I get that the whole smutty thing is pretty shocking for a lot of people, it really isn't anything to write home about (odd turn of phrase in this case, I know). Right now, I think I could find something just as good on a fanfic site, let alone for free on itunes. Having said that, chronologically I am only up to chapter 3 ... although I may have skipped a head a little ... so I shouldn't judge too harshly.

Believe
Do you have any idea how hard it is blogging when you have nothing to post about?
My mother is threatening to send me to to a doctor because apparently 'I'm not eating'. She thinks it's a threat, but we've done it all before and look what happened then - two doctors and a dietician said it's fine. Just because I'm a little stressed right now and have lost my appetite somewhat doesn't make me an anorexic.
Aish!

Run to You
Again, I am utterly devoid of inspiration. So have a music video.
It's the same band that did Time's Up and Someone Met By Chance. Pretty different, right?
The start makes me think of FunnyBones.
The title on the album 'Run to You (Swing)' makes me think of Ferris Beuller.
The end.

A Day
What to blog about this evening? I'm coming up blank. Mostly because nothing has really happened in the last 24 hours. No new music videos or songs that I'm in love with, no purchases, no news, nothing.
Well, I guess a seller on eBay sending me 10 cover buttons rather than 100 can be classed as news. I wasn't much impressed, especially seen as I have 6 days in which to complete all the dresses, but it was an honest mistake and he says he's sent out the rest today.
I also ran out of purple thread and so had to buy some more, so I guess that counts as a purchase. It meant that I didn't manage to finish the bridesmaids dresses today as planned, but I'll get them done tomorrow no problem.
I did see this music video that amused me. There seems to be a main line that goes 'I can be the baby girl' so that's a little bit of a strange thing for a self confessed 'hot boy' to say, but each to their own. I'm fairly certain that at 2.40 he says 'We'll put you on the fire' which is a little murdersome. I also enjoyed the little guy getting squished under the giant shoe, and you have no idea how much the end made me laugh.

I also found this video.You should watch it. I want them to do the whole thing.
So I guess as it turns out everything I said at the start of this post is a lie. I should have said "Nothing has happened in the last 24 hours which anyone will find interesting or is worth sharing."

Don't Don
So last night I could barely type keeping my eyes open, and tonight I seem to be wide awake with a load of pent up energy. It may be because I have spent a ridiculous amount of money today.
Nearly £200 on 5 pairs of converse for the wedding. Over £100 on my Avon bill. Then, I decided that seeing as I had already spent over £300 in a less than an hour, I might as well carry on. So I brought the Remington Pearl curling wand and the Skin79 Super Plus VIP Gold BB Cream as a treat to myself.
Anyone who has read this blog at least semi regularly will know I have been wanting to try the Asian BB creams for years. You may also be aware that I have a small YouTube beauty guru obsession ... literally everything they use, I want*. So I did some research. Generally, the Skin79 Super Plus Beblesh Balm series seems to be the most universally appreciated, although it is not without its criticisms. The other brand I have heard a lot about is Lioele, and while Ingrid raves about Triple the Solution and Waterdrop, Bubz didn't seem as well impressed, so I decided it was best to stick to Skin79. Missha have always had good reviews, but I'll admit to finding their sheer number of choices intimidating.
As for the Remington Pearl wand, I had my eye on the Babyliss hot pink wand for a long time, but when I went to look at the reviews right before buying it today, all the negative comments were about how it wasn't as good as the Pearl. Also, seeing as how the last Babyliss product I got didn't particularly impress me (the glamour waves tong that works perfectly as a straightener, not so much as a curling tong) I thought I would go back to my original hair styler bias, Remington.
So yeah, I'll let you know how that goes.
It's 2.20 am and my dad's Landrover alarm just went off. The neighbours are going to love us, its the most obnoxious alarm you've ever heard. Ah well, they never liked us anyway.

*The candle thing? Ingrid. The large barrel curling tong? Bubz. The hot pink curling wand? Bubz. Got2be fat-tastic root boost? Bubz. These girls cost me a lot of money ... mostly Bubz.

Lullaby
I don't know whether it's because I am tired or because I am all nice and snuggly (electric blanket mid July? I think so!) but I literally cannot keep my eyes open right now. In fact, I keep having to go back and change my spelling in this post to something actually legible seeing as I keep typing even when my eyes are closed.
I was really disappointed in Office earlier. We went to buy converse for the bridal party, but left empty handed. What sort of shoe shop doesn't have size 5 or 7 of a shoe that is in the window? The uncommon sizes I can understand, but 5 through to 7 are super common. Both the styles that we were looking at are Office exclusives as well, so I can't even look up more competitive prices.
I can't even focus anymore ... goof night,

Love Hate
So far, I've tried to write this post three times.
The first attempt was a rant about the Yul vs Shin situation in Goong, but then I decided to leave that to the review post when I've finished the series.
Then I was going to write about how I have used two of those Sainsburies vouchers that you normally don't even look at until they are out of date in the past couple of days... until I realised that was deathly boring.
Finally I was going to link you to Nu'est's new MV and marvel about how much Ren looks like a girl.
Now I've spaced out what basically amounts to four sentences of utter waffle because I don't want to talk about anything else.
Let's just say the true meaning of this wartime poster has only just truly struck me and leave it at that.

Happiness (I hug myself) (In my arms)
You know how the google search box comes up with a list of previous searches depending on the letter or letters you have typed in? Well, apparently I have googled some strange things.
Avengers little penis
I have a theory about this, I will share it one day ... probably.
Bad stuff
Sometimes its good to know what bad stuff is.
ELECTRIC MELON BALLER
Yes, it was in allcaps. No, I don't know why.
Quadratic formula
In what world have I ever had to google this? That's maths, I can't cope with maths!
Oo la la oo la la oo la la oolala
I think I must have been googling a song ... yes I am that much of an idiot.
Siwon naked
Who doesn't want to google a hot korean guy without clothes?
Mouse on top of someones head
... and about a hundred variations ... I blame Miffy.
Jobs for vicars in [my town]
I don't think the church accept applications from atheists.
How to say Thank You
Apparently I didn't know.
And to think this is just in the last couple of months since Laptop got poorly sick. No doubt there would have been much worse before.

Wrong Number
I hate BT Homehub.
In the time it took it to start working again, I could make pretty patterns in the new tab thing. This was pattern combination number 792.
Then it starts working long enough for me to watch 18 seconds of video, so that was generous.

Something Wrong
So this evening, my mum and I were watching Supersize vs Superskinny. It was one of the very first episodes, when they used to test out different diets and methods of loosing weight. This particular episode concentrated on hypnosis. Incidentally, it's the only method that actually worked.
At about 5.53, they do an experiment.
You put your index finger and thumb together, and resist as another person tries to pry them apart. In the show, she put a biscuit in her other hand, and instantaneously she was unable to keep her finger and thumb together as easily as she had done previously.
So we did this test pretty much as soon as it came on the TV. Yeah, we didn't listen to the explanation, we kind of assumed that if you are holding something you like, it weakens your concentration and control, hence you are easier to break. My mum could keep her finger and thumb together no matter what she was holding, even Twilight. Not when she was holding my hand, but I suspect she was cheating seeing as I didn't have enough hands to pull hers apart. I was strong for the TV remote and the Gu dessert, less so for the Twirl Bites and even less so for the apple. So apparently I like apples more than twirls ... believe me it's as shocking to me as it would be to you.
However, one thing broke my grip completely and consistently. My iPhone.
How pathetic is that? I can't even explain it. I can maintain holding my finger and thumb together forCADBURY LIFE SUPPORTING SUSTENANCE better than I can for a lump of electronics?
Actually, yeah, that sounds about right.
