June??? What the ever loving fuck?? How is it JUNE? In other news, the swine flu may not be making much impact where I am but whatever misbegotten form of the flu that has been endlessly circulating through my co-workers needs to end now. I'm just getting over my second bout and it was as pleasant as the last one. Bloody hell. David Eddings died :( I adored the Belgarion, Malloreon, Elenium and Tamuli series. They made being thirteen and fourteen bearable. God bless, David. My sister/housemate R has left for her 5 weeks holiday though Europe and landed in Venice the other day. I'm so pleased she's doing this, she's needed a break and a personal journey type experience for a while. I have to say I was thanking God that she hadn't gone to South America once I heard about the Air France flight going down. That is just horrendous, those poor families, it just breaks my heart. I was trying to think the other day how is it that so many women I know get such a charge from things as simple as clean windows or a restacked pantry? I am still buzzing from the high of steam cleaning the tile grout in the main house. It has come up amazingly and I randomly stand and admire it at weird times. I really should have taken a before and after photo! Then I think that I'm being really odd and make myself go do something else. PUPPY!! My parents have just gotten a second Papillion male. He is 11 weeks and his name is Barney. His older 'brother' Georgie who is 2 years old is still not convinced that this is a good thing. He's not aggressive but he's definitely a bit anxious about the change. Still, Barney is adorable...puppies make everything better! ( cut in case someone hasn't seen Star Trek yet )Hmm, nothing else to report. I still haven't won the lotto. Situation normal. Tags: all about me, kirk spock et al, star trek

I had an awful dream last night. In RL one of my younger sisters (R) is moving back in with me after splitting with her partner (we were roomies a few years ago) so I guess that's why she starred in this dream. Now, I am very happy to have her back despite the circumstances for her which I wouldn't wish on anyone, so it's not like I'm holding subconscious frustration at sharing my space again. Then why did she die in my dream? My family (Mum, Dad, myself and youngest sister (L)) were moving into a new and strange house after R had died. We were still mourning and trying to start life again. All I really remember was the counter intuitive nature of the house and my heartbreak at losing R. L and I were staking out our rooms and setting up bathrooms and looking at the garden and I just kept crying because I missed R so much. Sobbing, keening and so forth. It was horrible and I woke up with tears running down my cheeks. I still feel very disconcerted, when I got up this morning I felt that confusion you get when you cant quite separate reality from dreams and you're not sure what is actually real. Horrible. In nicer news, my garden is looking awesome and I've actually been harvesting some of my vegetables! Or at least the ones I have rescued from the snails, slugs and slaters :( I've got garlic, onions and cabbage that I grew as well as strawberries and some figs are coming along! I'm so happy :) I want to get in some tomatoes and corn for summer crops so I guess I'd better do that soon. In TV news I had an amusing (for me at least) reaction to my viewing this week. ( spoilers for recent Bones episode )Having re-watched a few SG-1 episodes I've rediscovered my adoration of Jack. I need to dig up some SG-1 fic. I guess cleaning the house will have to wait a bit longer, what a shame. Tags: all about me, bones, jack o'neill, sg-1, tv boyfriends

No really. Really, really nice day. The weather is gorgeous and the hayfever that has made me, for the last two days and this morning, zombie!haitchem has gone. My sister who lives a 10 hour drive away from me is up here for a week since it is school holidays and she's a teacher. It's so brilliant to see her again. Next - my birthday is next week and I am such a gleeful child when it comes to birthdays, especially my own :) I wont get many presents on the day since one sister gave me my present (tupperware - oh boy do I love that stuff) early so I could start using it. My parents have funded a garden renaissance of sorts for my present. I have three miniature fruit trees in my back garden (nectarine, peach and navel orange) and in the front, some gorgeous native shrubs and two enormous rocks. This is to make the verge in front of my house water wise and get rid of the stupid grass it had that kept growing under the concrete and coming up twenty feet away in garden beds. Plus it stops strangers parking in front of my house and making me paranoid. Birthday wise its hard to wrap a tree and silly to not put it in the ground at the right time just to keep it aside until my actual natal day! I am back learning the guitar, classical and acoustic. I don't practice enough but its helping me get back in contact with my creativity. Two weeks or so ago I was chatting to the IT guy at work about setting up a wireless network in my home with my PC, eventually a laptop, a recordable DVD hard drive and whatever else. We discussed what to do and the first thing I needed was a good wireless access point (WAP). This would cost around $350 so I planned it into the budget early next year and congratulated myself on working towards my goals. The very next week a box turned up on my desk when the IT guy came in. I was worried, thinking that he had thought I'd asked him to order me one and thinking panicked thoughts about how I cant afford it right now! But it turned out the CFO, who had been interested in our conversation, had decided to order me one out of the blue and charge it to the company. A $350 gift out of no-where. I was like this; o.OThis was after surprisingly agreeing to help me out financially with going back to TAFE to chip a bit more off my diploma of accounting. Maybe they think I'm upskilling and want to leave? Who cares? $350 WAP!! TV is making me happy right now. Supernatural has just blown me away with its first two of the season. Castiel gives me the nice shivers and the creepy shivers at the same time. Kudos to the actor. House is off to a good start and its nice to see Wilson stepping out has made House finally begin to consider that he might need to make a basic change in his life. Ugly Betty was fun, Eureka continues to make me giggle, the new Canadian series Flashpoint is my surprise personal hit. I thought I'd like it but not have the urge to chase it, but I'm invested in these characters, Canadian productions FTW!! Bones is turning out solid after last seasons shaky finish and I've followed some online squee and checked out Merlin and it is delightful fluff. More gritty is the always brilliant Wire in the Blood. I've gone on a major re-watching spree after the most recent season finished last week and I just adore Tony Hill. Robson Green is just brilliant. Last but not least is SGA. I'm still pissed that they cancelled it for another concept. I don't object to getting a third Stargate show (and the guys haven't let us down yet I guess) but why kill a decent rating show in its prime instead of stepping into the new show just as they did SGA out of SG1? Its a mystery to me. Still, the 10 episodes we've had so far have been mostly great and the back 10 always seem best to me for some reason. The stand outs for me are The Shrine (David Hewlett, you deserve an Emmy), The Daedalus Variations and the first two parter First Contact where Daniel Jackson regains some of that sparkle and intellectual joy that early SG1 had before he became war-weary. Good to see you Danny Boy *hearts* Finally, I've just had a three day weekend due to a public holiday. Then I have three days at work this week before starting two weeks holiday. How good is that?? So, I'm feeling good. Long may it continue! Tags: all about me, eureka, house, sga, supernatural, tv boyfriends
