End of Financial Year Update

Job Status: My office has relocated and I have more work. But everything feels the same.
Gym workouts: I haven't done a thing. I think I'd be puffed going up more than one flit of stairs.
Family stuffs: My mum finally came over to my place. I've been here for 7 months and she finally made it here for lunch.
Hunk of the week: James Marsden. He's HOT and he's played a Prince.


Relationship Status: I can convincingly say I'm single. There isn't a guy in waiting. Not a casual bonk buddy. Not a boy in sight. I'm single.
Movies watched:
Shinobi - One of my nearest and dearest friends came over and brought this movie with him. It's Romeo and Juliet ninja style.
Full Metal Jacket - After seeing this movie. I am not a Kubrick fan . I have seen 4 of his works and only enjoyed one (slightly) I won't bother in future.
Coyote Ugly - After watching the above movie I needed some light chick flick. This hit the spot, good music and a cute guy. Low expectations. No disappointments.
Sex and the City -
Just like almost every other girl in the world I saw Sex and the City, I didn't mind it. It wasn't as fast paced as the series and *I* don't believe the movie kept to the true natures of the characters. The fashion was great but not sensational.
3000 Miles to Graceland - Gangster-esque and ELVIS! Of course I'm going to love this bad movie. Especially since it has my favourite Elvis Presley song in it.
Goodfellas -
No matter how many times I've seen this movie I'm always clued to the screen. The acting is sensational, the realism is depicted so brilliantly. One of the best movies in my humble opinion.
Little Black Book
- A little trashy chick flick.
A Man Apart -
This is not a good movie, I say not. But why was it so that I watched the whole thing? I couldn't resist. It was hypnotic. The terrible acting and script.
Almost Famous
- I never understood why people raved about this movie. I enjoy it. But thats it. Music, acting, story, cinematography. What's not to like? It just doesn't 'touch me'
Primal Fear - Edward Norton at his greatest and I adored Richard Gere's performance. And, Frances McDormand, this is an actress that I never put into my top actress' category but she's fantastic. Almost Famous and Primal Fear, she's really great.
Reading:
Nothing
Diet: I keep telling myself I need to improve my diet. I feel horrible and my clothes don't look as good as they should.
Alcohol consumption: I've been drinking alone. Drinking alone too much.
Song stuck in my mind: With complements 3000 Miles to Graceland





Quote of the week:
Look at this view!

Random Observation: Our office relocated as I mentioned and I swear most of my colleagues must not have ever seen the Harbour Bridge before. So many people commenting on the view.
Picture of the Week: I just love Erte work. Divine.


Money Spent: After the last 2 weeks I have successfully kept my credit card in my purse. Oh, except those comedy theatre sports tickets!

Sick of Being Sick

I've had a headache since Wednesday, been grumpy as a result. Now this cold / flu thing has taken a hold of me. Yesterday I didn't even get out of my PJ's and barely moved from the lounge and today I felt triumphant just having a shower. Now It's 10:45pm and I've slept so much today I don't want to go to bed but I'm tired, I'm exhausted, my nose is running, my head feels like it weighs 50kg. My flatmate bought me cold and flu tablets yesterday, they have taken the edge off however they are 'herbal'. Fuck herbal! I want the chemicals! I want drugs! I want this bug out of my system so life can resume as normal.

A Great Night

One of my most awesome friends R. came over last night for dinner. He came over armed with 2 bottles of wine, one red, one white because he didn't know what I'd be cooking for dinner. He also brought along a DVD Shinobi - it's catchphrase is 'Romeo and Juliette Ninja Style'. This is a boy that knows his way to my heart.



Ohhh just look at those swords!!!

Invitations

I sent out an invitation for the Jazz and Blues Festival that took place over the long weekend and said I'd be interested in listening to a few sax riffs and soulful voices on the Monday.

I had quite a few positive responses - it looked like there would be a dozen or so of us going. A big YAY!

Then... I received a message from one of the girls saying she was planning on going on Sunday.

Then... One of the guys said he's meeting friends there on Saturday.

I can't help it wonder why neither of them chose to invite me?
