Money

I think two catch up posts in one night is a little too much, so maybe I'll do my BB cream post tomorrow. I've taken photos and everything, but I'm just so inexplicably shattered that I physically can't write that post tonight.

Today was meant to be started with a bridal fitting with one of the teachers at school, and the rest of the day spent tidying my work room and setting everything back to rights. But it was raining, so I only did the fitting part.

I did work out my expenses for this month though. I spend too much. I would have broken even this month if my car hadn't needed parts. It's just ridiculous how a dinner out here and a trip to the shops there turns into hundreds of pounds over a month. I really need to do the eBay thing seriously again, and stop having a social life that costs money.

Also, if my car could stop breaking, that would be great.

Time Traveller

Welcome to British Summertime, where it's Easter but there is still snow on the ground.

Finalised my months accounts just now. So much for staying in the black even if it was by pennies. A broken car and generosity are to blame. I brought 5 mid range price eggs and got one cheap Easter egg back.

I was annoyed, that thought that I should start only putting the time, effort, thought and money into other people if they do the same for me, but then I realised that I would do the same thing now even if I knew that I wouldn't be getting anything in return. Treat people as you want to be treated, I guess, and the idea of not getting my family Easters eggs is inconceivable.

Time travel is tiring.

Nope

I just remembered that I haven't posted yet today.

But ... I'm kinda tired and lazy, and what with my Internet being down again (effing HomeHub) I can't even be bothered to find a picture to entertain you.

Sorry.

Of Money I Earn But Don't Get and Money I Get But Don't Earn

Wah, this is getting silly.

Tokyo Dogs is fast becoming my most viewed post. It's had 414 views in the past month, and about 45 comments. Not that it's done me any good other than making my view count rise. I haven't even made any thing significantly more on my AdSense.

Well, I'm at £3.44. Only £56.56 left until I get paid!

I did a little spring cleaning today, and used Flash's mediterranean lemon wipes so now my room smells nice and fresh. Still need to sort out my wardrobe though. I think I might throw out my Empire magazines. I have every issue from March 2002 to 2008 but whats the point in keeping them, really? That's a whole shelf I could use for something else. Like bags and belts.

School in the morning, and once again I'm wide awake at quarter past one in the morning. I did spend some time today though prepping for a new project with one of my students. I'm going to make her write a brief and make a mood board and everything. I feel like a proper teacher at times like this.

Normally, I feel like a normal person that gets paid to chat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sleeping shhh

Today, in commemoration of the last day of beda, I was going to reflect on the mistakes over the past couple of weeks due to general tiredness that have been left intact on this blog for public amusement.

However, I am too tired to go through with the effort of reading through my past posts, however sparse they may be. My mum just had to drag me up to bed. Im impressed ice got this far without falling asleep; the other night I woke up with my glasses and make up still on holding my phone, having fallen asleep while setting my alarm.

Therefore, this is a half asleep posts about half asleep posts.

I'm going to go before I embarrass myself more.
