I didn’t shower this morning. Instead I showered just then and am in my pyjamas at 5:30. It’s kind of good. But I don’t feel so inclined to do work. I realise I have been sitting at the computer all afternoon and haven’t really been very productive.
I’m trying to think of a way to make an apple look evil. Designers are weird if you ask me. Why would I ever want to make an apple look evil. Apples are good and yummy and red and green. I should tell them all to get my priorities right.

In order to be truthful

In order to be truthful
We must do more than speak the truth.
We must also hear the truth.
We must also hear truth.
We must also act upon truth.
We must also search for truth.
The difficult truth.
Within us and around us.
We must devote ourselves to truth.
Otherwise we are dishonest
And our lives are mistaken.
God grant us the strength and the courage
To be truthful.
Amen

Thats so the best because it makes us have to take responsibility for ourselves properly. We can’t just think everythings okay cause we do one thing right. And challenging too, beacause I don’t reckon I do all those things. I’d like to though.

Today I am going to try and hand my assessment in a whole day early. Not because I’m so organised but because I don’t want to waste my day off going into the city to hand it in. I have other things I must do. But in the meantime, it’s very stressful, I’m having to think about taking things like spray adhesive to uni, because I actually haven’t finished everything yet. Not that I could have, because the computer is at uni. I hope I hand it in. I wouldn’t be happy to waste $4.40 on a train ticket tomorrow. More importantly here, I don’t want to waste it because yesterday I found out that I have to wait yet another month to get centrelink. Bastard heads (in response to Rach’s angry at the government ideas, I won’t beat them up, I’m not the violent sort). Anyway, I am broke for yet another month. I’m actually quite used to it now.

Ryan has taken the initiative to put on my Burt Bacharach CD. And gee its good. So many tunes to have a dance. I think Helen should use some in her dance classes. I might be more inclined to come.
In other news, Nic got a blog. Yay NIC. It’s real exciting and you’re doing a pretty good job so far. I hope to hear many words of wisdom from you…or at least some ramble about tea. In fact NIc is great, she stayed on Saturday night after we went out with old acting classes…ohhhh the memories, and then in the morning she told us about filtering water through old saris. Nic’s full of such good info. And anyway, I thought it would be really good for my appropriate technology assessment, and I found an article on it…YAY!!!
Nic’s going to have a party too and its going to be ripper fun cause its in Kiama so we’ll get to go visit the land of blowholes. And meet Nic’s mum, and hopefully it won’t be “awful”.
In other news, I cleaned my room, I was very clever and turned an ugly thing into a door knob. And even more creatively, I turned Rachel’s leg braids into a feature of my room, or at least incorporated tastefully. I set it to myself as a task, to somehow make silly things (not that not fashionable) incorporate themselves into my room. Perhaps in an attempt to make myself less anal. I think that I need to learn to be less anal about things, especially at uni. I need to spend less time on little things and get work done and have some time for myself. And be content that it may not be exactly how I want it. So I think that this is my first step to making myself less anal. Hooray for Rachel’s groovy leg braids. If I had a digital camera, I’d take a photo and post how trendy they look hanging from my roof.

I’ve been a lazy blogger. Oops
Chrus and I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on Friday and it was really good. It was nice, they had some hope at the end and it was good. I think it was good because it was real, it wasn’t glorifying arguments, but it admitted that they were normal in most relationships and that it doesn’t mean its a bad relationship. Like JO was saying in her blog the other day. Its very the bestest that Jane and John are so great, but its not abnormal to have fights either.
On Friday, (as you all know) Jo Kemp had a party and it was ripper fun. There was a yellow thing. And I think it might just be the funniest thing I’ve seen for a good while. And if people would post more photos, it would be funny. It was fun because there were lots of very friendly and fun people there. I think that I would like to have another party like that sometime. Yes. Jo had a greatly pink party.
Today wasn’t so pink, we went to Wahroonga park for Kaia’s engagement. I didn’t really speak to Kaia but I had a nice time talking to other people. Pretty moseyish really though.
I’ve bored myself sick of typefaces today. I don’t want to analyse anymore today. I am over it. I’ve had too much writing the same thing. So now I’m going to indulge in some silly sounding film, Nurse Betty. yay. I hope its real crappy.
Perhaps I’ll be more interesting another day. I live in hope. Isn’t hope great? Thanks for that.

Jo Kemp is having a party tomorrow night. We were told to take something pink. I have obeyed. I have painted my toenails pink. Especially for the party.

We did receive a sorry I can’t make it to the puh. I was meant to read this out, but I forgot. It’s from that crazy groover who was in the invite. Here’s his absinthe note:

oh thx 4 the pub offer
shall i bring my favourite toaster and coffee machine?
have ya promite a-ready!!

sadly sob sob sob
i dont think i canna make it

yet.., have i ever discussed the virtues of stainless
steel cafe moka machines made in italia?
or about the guy I know wanting to use a transflux
liquid heater to create a space age coffee machine?;
ie me to make the most superheated steamer for ultra
high pressure coffee ejection!

wow oh wow

i worked on transflux, a little, and dont know
exactly how developed the coffee machine idea became,
this was all while i was a tech. eng. at canterbury
engineering dept…
thousands of psi with super heated steam power, blow
your socks off and vapourise them in a millisecond.
yet that was
long ago, far away..
yet the memory remains

sounds like a good chorus for a song dont you think?

but i can raise a glass and celebrate in absence which
is highly confusable with absinthe, which is a very
confusing liquor. may i suggest you each consume a
bottle before entering the live pub environment,
ask for it in any good hard liquor store near you.
you maybe in for an experience that you will never
forget and forget simultanously.

hugs and kisses out widely
and those that part take in the true refined absinthe,
please observe the time honoured way, that of taking
it, flaming with a mixture of sugar to sweeten
and have a good trip!

ps
please feel free to print this out and read it out in
my absinthesceness.

THE COFFEE MACHINE

THE THREE STEP PROCESS OF ABSINTHE

I am still sick. I hate being sick. I feel so dull and uninteresting. I can’t be bothered to do anything and just want to sleep all day.
Oh yes puh. That was fun. And real smokey. And there was lots of people. I think even maybe 21??And Ki came back and gave me a bandaid holder. Hooray. I wonder how long she is here for. And if I will get to see her apart from at the engagement picnic…Such intense thoughts my mind has. If only I had more interesting and stimulating thoughts, maybe then I would be more interesting. I wonder if I’m a depressed person always wishing I was someone else or that my brain was more interesting.

For some reason I smell like boys deodorant tonight. We thought it may be the bostik glue. But I just don’t get it. It’s not like smell straight from a can either, its like that real brewed business man type boy deodorant smell. Almost like aftershave.
Amazing and annoying. It keeps distracting me from my work.
