A list of things I can't be bothered with at the moment

1. Going to the supermarket. I used to love grocery shopping. It was fun. Because it was shopping. And shopping = fun. I'm not sure what changed but now it bores the face off me. and it's sort of mandatory if you want to have lunch/dinner/clean teeth etc. I hate it.
2. Learning how to use my new phone. Yes I'm sure it does a Brazilian very cool things. But I'm not interested in any of them. Fuck off with your synchronising and telling me when my next hair appointment is. I want to send texts without the use of a freakin stylus and I want something smaller than my handbag to cart around...well... in my handbag.
3. Sorting out house stuff. I need my front garden mowed, a flatmate, a window fixed, an alarm, deck steps, more bokashi mix.... it's endless and little fiddly stuff that I can't be bothered with. Now if it needed a new bathroom or a second level... that I could get behind! Would anyone like to buy my house off me?
4. Five day weeks. It's been a while and frankly I'm comfortable with that. Blah Blah, you've probably heard me bang on about this before but we are the most evolved animal on the planet. Why do we spend all of our time at stupid auld work? so we can afford mortgages on houses that need things done to them all of the time? Boring.
5. My laptop being broken. This just sucks. Stupid broken screen. Stupid.

Whine over. For now. Thanks for listening. I have lots of lovely stuff that i can absolutely be bothered about. But that's for another entry.

First day back

It's the first day back in the office. It's summer in NZ so lots of people are still on leave and there's still very much a holiday vibe around the place. But at the end of the day i'm back at work on a sunny day in NZ and there are a million better things I could be doing with the day if I'm honest. And even (possibly especially) if I'm not honest.

But sure, there you go. Got to earn some money one way or the other I suppose.

So what should we talk about? Oh yes. That's right. I'm off to this on Friday. That should be fun.
You should come. We'll have fun.

It's probably not the most exciting line up I've ever seen but I've never been to a BDO in NZ so this year I'm going. Yay.

Right that's enough meaderings. Check out the link and be suitably jealous. I'm off.

2010

We made it folks. For some of us, I expect it was touch and go for a bit. I had a few of my own close shaves, mostly alcohol related. But we scraped through, managed not to die and we've got a whole new sparkly year to have a shot at.

I for one am feeling pretty positive about 2010. I don't generally consider myself a pessimist to be fair and I I'm not trying to say we're fated or anything is pre-destined. But it's sunny out, I'm still on holiday and I'm having a lovely day hanging out in my house with me Ma. So I thought I'd share some good vibes.

If I did believe in 'signs' I'd probably be less positive. I kicked off 2010 vomiting for four days, my Mum's still sick and my poor sisters got shafted by shonky travel agency and ended up taking 40 hours to complete a 26 hour journey home do sub zero Ireland.

I'm not one for new year's resolutions but I do have some big goals for 2010. I won't bore you with the full set but since I've committed to (but failed to achieve) this one before I'll confirm that this year I absolutely, categorically, 100% going to run a half marathon in under two hours.
