Growing Up. The Soundtrack.

Filed under I Like Lists, Life, Music on July 29th, 2009 | 6 Comments »

I’ve been feeling pretty nostalgic lately. I’ve been thinking about my ‘teenage’ years quite often over the last couple of weeks. I’m guessing it has something to do with missing people like Jess who’s busy pretending to study over in New Zealand, Jemma who lives all the way over in Adelaide and Melanie who’s currently gallivanting around UK/Europe. I think it could also have something to do with the fact its only now just hit me that I’m really 22 and most definitely an adult. I can’t even pretend to be a kid any more.

Anyway, there is a point to the rambling prelude… I’ve put myself together a playlist of music that defines my teenage years and reminds me of some of my most important memories from growing up. I just thought I’d share a couple of them with you. :)

Friday I’m In Love.

Filed under Uni/Work on July 23rd, 2009 | 5 Comments »

You know… there are just so many reasons I love Fridays.

  • Casual clothes at the office.
  • Urban Burger for lunch.
  • The weekly “Culling of the Post-Its.” This is where I go through the 1984239849238 post-it notes that are drowning my computer monitor and throw out ones that are no longer applicable. It may sound silly, but it’s actually rather therapeutic.
  • After work drinks (affectionately known as Beer O’clock).
  • Sleep in Saturday morning!

I never thought I’d say this, but I believe Fridays are slowly but slowly overtaking Tuesdays as my favourite day of the week.

Super cuteness.

I know I should stop spamming you good people of the internet with cat photos. However, I couldn’t resist… Keiko is just so gosh darn cute sometimes!

Keiko & Mr. Lion

It’s a list.

For today’s entry? Another list! Just a random compilation of things I have swimming around in my head. Thanks to a busy workload lately, I think I’ve forgotten how coherent thought works and have actually started to think in snippets!

  • Adam and I have cinema tickets to see Bruno tomorrow night and Harry Potter on Wednesday night!
  • I finally joined a gym again!
  • My mum’s coming to Melbourne on Thursday! Yay! I miss my family. It sucks living a 6 hour drive away.
  • I read Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris on Saturday night. It’s the first book of the Southern Vampire Mysteries (which is what True Blood the TV series is based on). It was a brilliant book and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I think I’m also going to have to watch True Blood.
  • I don’t think I’ve mentioned yet just how impressed I’ve been with the iPhone OS 3.0. I LOVE being able to copy & paste as well as picture message! It’s been almost a year and I’m still in love with my iPhone. This is a really big deal for me considering before the iPhone I was changing phones every couple of months.
  • I really must ring old real estate agent and figure out why we haven’t got the form to re-claim our bond back yet!
  • I really need to organise my profit & loss statements so I can get my tax done! A decent tax return would be mighty fine right about now.
  • One of my next projects will be a layout for this site. As lovely as this theme is… it’s really starting to annoy me that it’s not mine. I think I miss having a sidebar!

My flatmate eats the weirdest things.

Filed under Life on July 7th, 2009 | 10 Comments »

D's Disgusting DinnerD eats the weirdest things. He really does. After a year of living with him, I’ve managed to come to terms with the fact he eats mayonnaise & pineapple on his pizzas and has been known to mix mayonnaise in with left over pasta.

Last night though, he exceeded all my weird eating expectations….

I wandered into the kitchen to find him eating a bowl of spaghetti & meatballs, mixed with leftover chicken wings and topped off with tartare sauce. Icccccccccccccky! I cannot imagine that actually tasting any good!

Question of the week (yes, I’m totally stealing Amanda’s QOTW idea): Is there anything you love to eat that other people find particularly gross?
