Tonight on my way home from work I was filling up at the petrol station and was walking back to my car after having paid, when I heard a voice saying "Hey lady, you're gorgeous!"
I looked around and figured it was coming from the car at the pump next to mine. The occupant of the car, I hear you ask - a four year old boy! I couldn't help but smile!
It lifted my spirits at the end of a very long and difficult day.
Travelling home on the train from work last night, there was a young guy, probably in his early 20's, having a bit of a snooze all the way from Leederville to Edgewater. It's not like it was late or anything - it was around 7.30.
It was quite funny because he started in an upright position and almost ended up with his head on the shoulder of the gentleman sitting next to him. * big grin*
I saw this yesterday with Rhian, a friend from work. We headed off to Oscars for lunch but neither of us were very hungry so we only had starters. The film didn't rely on showing gory details, it was just implied. One scene caused a couple of young girls in the cinema to scream which was amusing.
We both like a good thriller and both liked this one. I would like to see the original to compare.
Plot: While most of her friends head off for a high school bonfire, Jill must take on a babysitting job to pay her parents some of the money she owes them for her excessive cell phone bill. The babysitting job is for a doctor and his wife who live in an upmarket, but remote and rambling, three-storey lakeside home. It looks like it’s going to be an easy stint for Jill. The kids are already tucked up in bed with the flu, so when the doc and his wife leave, she settles down for what she believes will be a quiet night. First, there are strange noises, then the phone rings, there’s no one there. It rings again and there’s heavy breathing. Is it a prank? The calls keep coming, culminating with the blood-freezing question, Have you checked the children? Moving from room to room in the creepy house, Jill’s fears intensify with each menacing call as she tries to work out what’s happening and what to do. When she finally knows, a terrifying cat and mouse game begins.
I finally bought an Ipod yesterday!
It holds 15000 songs - I think I might be able to make a significant dent (more than half) in that.
Now all I have to do is load all my songs on there!
Well, today has been the day for birthdays of one sort or another!
It is my stepdad's 64th birthday, so Happy Birthday you old fart! *evil grin*
Also my friend had her baby boy, who arrived a week early, this morning at 3.34am after a 24 hour labour. He weighs in at 6 pound 11.5 ounces.
And congratulations to Vivian who became a grandmother today too! Autumn was born 2.37am (American EST) after a very short labour (less than 2 hours). She weighs in at 7 pounds 12 ounces.
I agree with the last one! *evil grin*
I won tickets to the preview of this at the Windsor theatre for Monday night. I ended up going by myself because nobody was free at short notice. Parking was not the best - I had to park 10minutes away on a poorly lit side street. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially Jake Gyllenhaal! ;) Gwyneth Paltrow was amazing in this role.
Plot: The daughter of a brilliant but mentally disturbed mathematician, recently deceased, tries to come to grips with her possible inheritance: his insanity. Complicating matters are one of her father's ex-students who wants to search through his papers and her estranged sister who shows up to help settle his affairs.
I can't believe that British broadcasting authorities would go so far as to censor this advertisement! Are they so easily offended, or are they just pompous old fuddies?
Check it out for yourself... it's hideously offensive! *sarcastic smirk*

I was reading some random blogs and this one took my fancy.
For every one you sell, would that make you a year younger?
I went shopping on Saturday because I was supposed to be looking for new shoes for work. I ended up with a great bargain, but no shoes.
I managed to buy 9, yes 9 tops, that normally retail for $20+ each, for the grand total of $50.00! Gotta love those clearance sales! * happy claps * Still have to buy new shoes though. :(
This is always a dilemma for me because I can't wear closed in backs nor closed in toes, or anything with a heel because I just can't walk in them without twisting my ankle - which I have done numerous times, on both ankles both ways, so at anytime (which happens every now and then) they may give out.
Many years ago I found THE perfect shoe for me, so I bought several pairs. Unfortunately they have all gone to shoe heaven and are no longer made because they aren't "in".
But for now I will keep looking and keep my fingers crossed that the repairs I did to my old pair hold up a little while longer.
