..boring boring boring boring.. ooh, look, almost 25. O_O

whoa. another one-month absence ^-^ y'all should be gettin' used to this by now!

i have done absolutely nothing of note, and to compound my current boring b@stard image, i will now inform you all that i had a cup of milk with McVitie biscuits for dessert!

i did, however, have a great deal of fun when eating my lunch at work. in a hurry, on my way out the door this morning i grabbed a plastic container and threw in some frozen chicken nuggets and ketchup.. and so for lunch today, i made a mess by nuking said nuggets, pulling them apart piece by piece (gotta take the crumbed bit off & eat it separately, see), arranging them into a nice little nuggetty continent vaguely resembling Africa but with no vegetation, then dipped everything in ketchup and proceeded to drink lunch.

man, was that fun.

this year's plans for turning the Big 25 (ooh, quarter-century grownupness):
morning: breakfast at the Pancake Parlour
noon: run around at the Melbourne Show (caro wants to see the petting zoo & garner the more ridiculous showbags)
night: the new animated penguin/kids' movie Surf's Up, and popcorn/choc-tops for dinner!

all these shenanigans are plotted for Thursday 20th September.

if anybody else would like to join in, give us a yell ;)

:: The Most Important Thing (大切なもの) ::

so there's this song that i ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO PLAY on GuitarFreaks at the arcade, and i finally tracked down the title & band, and some lyrics.

Under this sky, a most important thing that cannot be replaced.
anyway, yeah, just had to share ^-^ it's been stuck in my head, in those rare moments when it has not been drowned out by "spider-pig, spider-pig..." -_-"

it's super-happy death-canary absolute mental implosion time!

...my brain has broken. in the space of one week, i have NEVER been exposed to so much mental distress -_-" it's damn exhausting, all this mental recoiling and horror and... and... and... gah.

there are no words.

never before have i had a friend so dangerous to my mental health.

i think i need to go and have a quiet lie down, somewhere nice and white and with cushy padded walls.

*smack*

Friday 27th July

saw the Simpsons movie with Pete and Tyrone. (this week has been the week for movies.)

missed the first 10 minutes, but it was still fun - oh gawd, it's been ages since my face hurt so much from laughing at a movie...

Pete wants to see it again. dude, it was good, but was it really THAT good?!

Wednesday 25th July

saw Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix at Crown with Karen.

it was FREAKING AWESOME.

best HP movie yet. can't wait for it to come out on dvd... despite the vast amount of TragicWhinyEmo!Harry.
