Went to see "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".. it was fairly cool, but I'm not sure why they thought it was necessary over the BBC production. *shrug*

Indaily: "Coopers shareholders have effectively stopped Lion Nathan's takeover bid for the Adelaide brewer. They voted overwhelmingly to remove Lion Nathan from the Coopers constitution at this morning's extraordinary general meeting at Coopers Brewery. The shareholders voted 1,153,519 to 81,293 - or 93.42 per cent to 6.58 per cent of the shares cast - to remove references to Lion Nathan from the Coopers constitution. A vote of 75 per cent was required to carry the motion. An overwhelming 97 per cent of shares eligible to vote participated in the meeting. 'It doesn't get much more decisive than this,' said managing director Tim Cooper. 'The shareholders have spoken and have said to Lion Nathan: 'Go away.'' The Cooper brothers celebrated with shareholders today, riding atop a Coopers cart drawn by their famous Clydesdale team, with a sign attached to the back of the cart: 'Sam & Jacob say 'Not For Sale''"

I just called TAFE again - the lady in the tourism office says I am all signed off and someone is in the process of writing me a letter to tell me I have passed all the subjects I applied for credit for.

Done! Yay!

Posted at 4:38 AM # | Comments

I just finished my assignment and handed it up. Yay!

This is significant because if all of the credit I applied for actualy gets approved (which I am fairly sure it will) then I will have fnished my course! Yay!

So now I celebrate with a jog and then lunch... then piles of IV stuff I've ben postponing for the last few days.

Posted at 3:39 AM # | Comments

I am becoming an expert in procrastination. There's always another small distraction that I can let myself explain away because I know it will only take 5 minutes.

Ugh and I am so TIRED.

Worky work work.

BBC pulls plug on Dalek lesbian romp flick | The Register: "Those readers who have ever wondered in an idle moment how a couple of Daleks would respond to the presence of three naked lesbians romping in their Mothership might recently have found the answer in the shape of a sci-fi smutfest entitled 'Abducted by the Daleks'.

Sadly, however, you'll have to wonder on because the BBC and the estate of Dalek creator Terry Nation have moved swiftly to pull the plug on the the trundling salt-cellars' intergalactic rumpy-pumpy."

Alasdair just got home with his new bike, ripped all the crud off and took off. *sigh* so much for the grand night in :P

I took a photo of him and the bike just as he left.. but it'll be a while before I can get it off my phone since the computer is still being sorted out. Cute. He's so happy.

I really need some casual work or something to get some money in asap. :(

Posted at 12:49 AM # | Comments

I have unpacked some stuff, changed my address with a whole lot of organisations, backed up my entire digital world and blown away all my files for a good hard re-install on my desktop *holds breath*

I am supposed to be working, but it really was too much of a pain in the arse without re-installing. So, today gets wasted and tomorrow I work even harder than I was going to.

In the meantime, I am going to make banana muffins to detract from the geekiness of this all and make it feel like I spent a leisurely day at home doing things I really wanted to.

I got really jealous of Clare making peanut brittle yesterday. I keep thinking it would be nice to spend the day relaxing and baking etc.. but then I realise I would very quickly become a 50's housewife and require valium just to keep smiling. Okay, so an inbetween would be nice :)

Went to see "The Corpse Bride" at Arndale because Alasdair had free tickets. It was weird. The cool factor was that it was very Burton-esque, but the crappy part was the singing!! If you ever see it you will know what I mean. :)

The Forbes Fictional 15 - Forbes.com: "Collectively, we are fascinated by the super-rich. We devour their biographies. We hang on their advice. Maybe we even hope for their downfall. But in our attempts to explain the ultra-rich--and their super-inflated bank accounts--we are often guilty of reducing real people to mere caricatures. There is the monopolist. The oracle. The genius. The thief.

With the Forbes Fictional 15, we have taken the opposite approach--fiction’s caricatures are elevated to the status of real people."

Lucius Malfoy and Willy Wonka are in the top 15 richest fictional characters. :)

Yesterday I saw a perfectly normal looking person suddenly take out a teddy bear and scream "Trick or treat! Fooled them! Fooled Them!" over and over again while kissing the bear. Most of the bus looked stunned, but we were all very calm and understanding.. until one of us got the giggles and infected the rest of us.

God it was hard not to laugh. :)

Weird thing was I saw this lady on two buses. The second bus she was really quiet, but she was hugging the teddy bear.

Apparently not everyone I know has seen this yet. I thought everyone had.

Warning: Needs Sound!

Original Fat Guy Singing Numa Numa

With Added Stuff

The original is the best - I think they should just use that as the film clip :)

EDIT: Okay so I'm weird and I've looked into this song a bit more. There are more flash animations to it.. the Japanese kittens one is apparently what Gary Brolsma (The guy singing) was singing along to. It's actually a Romanian Band singing about how much they love trees.. and an italian band claims they ripped off their song.

"Dragostea Din Tea" Lyrics

(Original Version sung in Romanian by O-Zone)

Ma-ia-haa

Alo Salut sunt eu un haiduc (Allo, salut, sint yel, un hydook,)
Si te rog iubirea mea primeste fericirea. (she teraw, youbeera mah, primesh der, vericheera,)
Alo alo sunt eu Picasso (Allo, Allo, sint yel, Picasso,)
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic (Tiam dat beep, she sen voynic,)
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic. (un dar sege ti notes cher nimeek)

Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei (vrais a pleche dar numa numa i-ay)
Nu ma nu ma iei nu ma nu ma nu ma iei. (numa numa i-ay numa numa numa i-ay)
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei (kipul tow she dragosta din tay,)
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai. (ma mintesc day oki ti-ay)

Te sun sa-ti spun ce simt acum (Desoon, set spoon, cheseet, ah kum)
Alo iubirea mea sunt eu fericirea. (Allo, youbeera mah, sint yel, vericheera)
Alo alo sunt iarasi eu Picasso (Allo, Allo, sint yarshio, Picasso,)
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic (Tiam dat beep, she sen voynic,)
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic. (un dar sege ti notes cher nimeek)

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire! Was awesome :)

Alasdair and I had Clare, Oscar, Cecilia and Crag around for dinner before trundling down to the Picadilly to watch the movie. Great night!
