Boy howdy what fun

Lisa I think you like 2 1/2 men cuz of charlie sheen .... I like it cuz i htink Rose is hot (aside from it being funny).

What a rip
Jules got punted from Skating with the Stars.
The ONLY reason bloody Lara Bingle gets through is cuz of her smile.
The ONLY reason bloody Jake Wall gets through is cuz the chicks all go awwwwwwwww.
SHE doesnt do more than FUCK ALL actual skating in any one routine n neither does he.
And Im dirty cuz I thought JUles' partner Kristina was juuust as cute as a button

AAnd as far as I am concerned Torvill & Dean are still the best pair around. I reckon they could still do well competitively.

The gurl reckons every time I take a 2nd diabetes tablet I start vomiting. I think it is just coincidence. I think theyre working slowly but surely. All my clothes feel a bit looser. I feel better too.

Rocky you dope
the 'you sunk my battleship' was a simpsons reference.
I have NO idea what movie you are refering to.

heh mate I just finished reading Livys' account of the 2nd Punic War... only what? 13 years AFTER I did the course at uni for it. No... I NEVER read any of it when I did the assignments - if you can't cobble together a decent essay 'quoting' livy from modern texts then ya not trying eh? I actually found it rather engrossing! Not REEEEAL sure why scipio was given such a wrap though. Just took up the Augustan Histories. Then Ima revisit that anti- imperial diatribe more commonly known as Procopius' Secret History. no I am NOT gonna try to wade through Thucydides EVER. Never indeed have I read it cover to cover. Never will I. BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
May try wading through Polybius again though to find out what REALLY happened in the 2nd Punic.

Got grading tonight for squash again. I never really do well at grading for some reason. Hopefully tonight is different as I have not swamped myself with squash lately. Been a bit lazy tell the truth. I think sometimes I go to grading having too much play under my belt. Just a bit jaded. Past the peak sorta.

Mum is quietly hinting here n there that maybe we should move back down to sydney.
I dont really want to - but it would be a touch more convenient in many ways - the gurl could get a psych nurse she actually likes mebbe? Probably better services too. Cheaper fuel, cheaper food, dearer rent... hmmmz.

Whatever should I do?

Lazy lazy boy...

Having trouble working up any interest in anything lately.
Terminal ennui i think.

Don't ya love it when you get a prediction nnnneeeearly right?
I caled 'yasmins getting married' for 3 episodes before tanking. It lasted 4.
I dont think yasmin is gonna get hitched any time soon.

The ford wagon got new tyres (about the only thing I managed to work up any enthusiasm for) on Thursday. 4 (count em 4) brand new michelin XM1 tyres. Ahhhhhh... THATS better. And a wheel alignment eh. NOW it goes where it is pointed. Rides a bit better too. Now to get the new dampers installed (I have them they just aint in the car yet).

We polished both cars on friday too. yeah yeah washed them first. Now I dunno bout anyone else but my peugeot gets washed once every 6 months or so whether it needs it or not. There IS a drought on ya know. I THOUGHT it was silver! It is! Muddy brown just isnt the same . The general clean allowed me to discover that there is a cat wandering about here for which I have coined the phrase 'dead cat meowing' - It is dead it just doesnt know it yet. Actually its probably gonna be a race between meself n the bloke across the courtyard as to who gets the honour of wasting the furry little stinkbag. Yes BOTH our cars have suffered the depredations of a cat using our duco as a scratching post.Ima kill it if i catch it. Wring its sneaky little cat neck.

We in Australia are about to enter that televisual twilight zone known as 'Australian Idol' - this immediately after the nightmare on channel ten also known as Dont bother 6 i mean big brother 6, which was possibly even WORSE (if such thing be possible) than any BB before it. The only part of IDol worth watching is the auditions. There are some sad folks out there. *I* can sing better than most of them and I'm sure if you were to ask rocky he would assure you I CANT SING. Not to save my life. Cant hold a tune. Tone deaf. No rhythm. Scare deaf people my voice.
Didnt mind the 27yo yummy mummy they had in from Newcastle though. Might just have to watch it simply to perv on the hottest chick to grace aussie TV in a long long time (cepting anna choy n toni pearen *sighhhhhhh*).

There was ONE good thing to happen when Yasmin tanked - we got Futurama back AND in a miraculous piece of bare arsed fluke programing it is generally on right after the Simpsons - which is where it belongs. Thank the TV gods for small miracles. A completely SHITE show replaced by a rather funny show. I am bender insert girder... ROFL.

Love that 'How I met your Mother' featuring the edible Alyson Hannigan (Willow from Buffy) and the hottest brunette i think Ive ever seen on TV (innnc. Lauren Graham, Catherine Zeta, Sally Williams *shes on adverts here*, and others I cannot remember). Whats more aside from being a chick fest its actually quite funny and not in the 'what am I chopped liver' sense that made friends and seinfeld such a yawnfest.

My name is earl - not baaaad though Im totally over the intro now. Dunno why they think that blonde chick is so hot when the latino maid is sex walking.

2 and a half men - for me the comedy highlight of the viewing week.

Top Gear - ahhhhhhhhhhh a $300,000 dollar sports car? Yeah I'll burn the cllutch out n 4 wheel drift the arse off it n shhred shit out $1000 tyres all in the name of serious journalism. GOTTA LOVE THIS SHOW. I was especially pleased when they drove a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool. OH YEAH. whats that? Drop this here miniskip onto a Maserati? ok. awesome. dont buy a big expensive shitbox chysler V8 - the good ole holden monaro is half the price n EATS it. yeah baby yeah.

Bout time we had some new episodes of South Park.

Every Tuesday is a giggle when Soddoff Baldric ... I mean Tony Robinson hosts Time Team. Even the gurl is getting interested in ancient Romano Britsh archaeological remains ' oh this is heaps more interesting than i thought it would be!!' this even as my interest wanes. I am almost at the point where i think digging any more shit up is a gross waste of time and money for the most part - at least until the next ice age lowers world sea levels a hundred metres or so so we can find those sites currently under water. On that topic... people really ought to see a map of world sea levels over the last 100,000 years or so b4 bleating on about rising sea levels. Up down up down up down. This isnt a localised recent phenomenon shitwits. Its been happening for 100,000 years ATLEAST. Get over it.

Could Home and Away get any worse and unbelievable? Shit a brick. The writers have a case of terminal constipation i think. Who in their right mind would EVER want to live in a place like that? not me. Hell I am finding Neighbours more believable at the moment. I thought Headland was bad (no come to think truly verily it was indeed a gross piece of crap). Thank you yasmins getting married for tanking cuz NOW we can watch Futurama instead of Home and Away.

The Ronnie Johns Half Hour is back this week thank fuck. There should be a sticker 'may cause gut ruptures from too much laughing'.

SCi; CSI New York; CSI Miami..... original scraping by on the unboring stakes. New York I like Gary Scinese but can take or leave the rest (as IF a highly trained forensic pathologist - thats DOCTOR ie about 12 years at uni would chuck it in to be a shitty scene of crime tech - sorry but i CANNOT imagine that would be anything other than a pay cut of about 50%). Miami... god we take the piss out of the boss guys cadence and delivery of his lines. one word. Wanker.

Love NCIS cuz its juuuuuuust a little goofy.
Jag is back n frankly its kinda boring. Catherine *sigh* Bell looks like shes lost weight n frankly it doesnt look good on her. where went they sexy sexy sexy curves? She was the hottest woman on tvfor a while - I hope she hasnt caught hollywood syndrome.

Heard on the grapevine that Jessica Simpson asked Pamela Anderson how she managed to run so slowly at the start of Baywatch every week. Apparently Pammy patiently explained a little known technique called 'sssssslowwwwwwwwww motttttionn' camerawork. Hell even if its apocraphal its funny as hell.


grrr
ok ive had enough typing for today n the gurl has to go to the doctorb (thats a simpsons joke).

haha you sank my battleship.
