my phone is ugly

oh dear, this morning i woke up to find my phone had been chewed adoringly by puppy. the bitch. i had to change the cover and the new one is gross .... so i brought a new phone on ebay. im such a girl.

but ian said we cant book vietnam until august so i thought, bugger it, im spending some money. oh dear.

in other news puppy got a new jumper today. it was v exciting.

we are to attend stus bday bbq tomorrow at midday. now ive never gotten drunk during the day before, so im a little apprehensive about this. but thankfully i will have ians drunken support. we had a little debate about the beverages tho. have decided vodka (our beverage of choice) is not appropriate for daytime consumption. hence, we have settled on champers. its v western suburbs of us.

not quite sure how i feel about that.

oooph. im all my excitement concerning the material gain i almost forgot to post last nights colour in !

and introduce you to frank !

oh silly me.

i brought frank today in coles while talking to ian excitedly on the phone. He is my new red nosed mascott. i love buying things for a good cause, it can justify so much spending.

father is making a fire. its v v v exciting. he brought wood from the servo. ahhh the joy of petrol stations.

should they be encouraging and selling firewood at a petrol station? is something flawed there or am i just being odd ?

oh yeah, and my 7 year old brother is currently into sewing, french knitting and aussie rules.

oh yeah, ALSO the afore mentioned ian directed me to this lovable area.

i was much impressed and wish only i was this omnipotent.

but as i said to the afore mentioned ian during one of our msn rendevouz (oh whatever spelling):

they mostly come at night, mostly. says:
weee heee blogs are fun
they mostly come at night, mostly. says:
i think mine is getting increasingly mundane, but dammit, its still fun for me
they mostly come at night, mostly. says:
did i mention i got my cardy coat today ?

i think there is something missing in my life.

father informed me tonight that it is impossible to have a relationship with a member of the opposite sex (or same sex for that matter) without jealousy and possesion.

i find this to be somewhat disheartening.

today i learnt how to draft letters, memos and faxes.

ahhh the wonders of commercial college. aka crappy college.

im told by my wonderous father that he has ordered me a new motherboard and a chip. a 1.8GHz chip, and i get a new case with two fans.

is it unfeminine of me to be really rather excited about this ?

it will be arriving on wednesday, a good distraction for me during study week no doubt.

indeed, i am wasting time

today i have formed a list of movies and television shows that i consider to be somewhat influential on my current character. basically these are all the movies and shows that i really really loved throughout my childhood (age 0 - 12), and still, for the most part, really really love.

MOVIES

three amigos - this was a big one for me, twice a day, every day for at least a three month period. its all kinda blury. "i think its a mail plane" "really how can you tell?" "didnt you see its little balls?" - it took me ten years to get that joke.

herbie goes bananas - "but why do you call him otcho ? that means 8" "because 5 and 3 are 8. EVERYONE knows that" - sigh. in retrospect, that was an absolutely AWFUL movie.

ghostbusters, one AND two - very big on these also, we all remember Mr. Staypuff. and the slime. - "back off man, im a scientist" - "egon, this reminds me of that time you tried to drill a hole in your head." "that would of worked if you hadnt stopped me" - "id like to run some gynelogical tests on the mother" "who wouldnt" - "you mean you never even had a slinkY?" "we had part of a slinky, but i straightened it" - and one of my personal favourites - "everything was fine until the power grid was shut off by dickless here" "THEY CAUSED AN EXPLOSION" "is this true ?" "yes its true, this man has no dick."

bill and teds excellent adventure - how could a young girl not enjoy this movie ? although once again, it took me several years to understand a lot of the jokes. - "bill" "what" "strange things are afoot at the circle k" - "well if you're really us, what number are we thinking of?" "69 DUDES" "wow" - ahhhhh keanus first role in which he had to look perplexed. a milestone in cinematic histroy no doubt.

parenthood - im begining to wonder if i ever got any of the jokes in my childhood movies before i was 13 - i cannot do this scene justice, but it involved a family gathering, a blackout, a search for a torch, the turning on of a device, a buzzing sound, the turning on of lights. "whats that?" "its an... electric ear cleaner" "it was kinda big" "it sure was"

dumbo - this movie made me cry everytime i watched it. yet i watched it over and over and over again. i watched it again last year, and i cried just as hard as i used to when i was 2 years old. they take his mummy away..... they put her in that van with the 'watch out mad elephant' sign. oh god its so sad. although once again it took me awhile to realise that the pink elephants were dumbo and timothys drunken hallucinations. i have the soundtrack and a large plush dumbo, which i paid 50 dollars for, when i was 13. i think dumbo is the reason i have a bit of an elephant fetish....

teenage mutant nija turtles - what can i say, "radical radical radical radical radical" - "you're a claustrophobic" "why you, I NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT ANOTHER MAN"

the rocky horror picture show - im begining to wonder if my parents believed in censorship. ive been watching this movie since the the tender age of 8. still, could be worse, my brother has been watching fight club since he was 6.

TELEVISION

degrassi - this show covered ALL the issues, teen pregnancy, aids, drugs, alcoholism, the death of parental units, suicide, eating disorders, wet dreams, abortion, animal rights, doing it and let us not forget STEPHANIE KAY! - "she only became president because she let all the boys kiss her" - this show educated the 6 year old anne about where babies come from - you have to 'do it'.

press gang - remember spikes accent ?

are you being served? - one wonders if its part of my hag root.

dad's army - i used to watch a lot of 6.30pm on the ABC, BBC imported shows with my grandfather. there was always a LOT of penelope keith involved (although not in dads army mind you)

inspector morse - staying up to watch more with my father and my grandfather every friday was an extra special treat. oh how i loved it so. i cant believe john thaw died. its so upsetting.

im sure there are many more.... will add as i remember....

anne c 9:28 PM

this should be interesting.....

im coming to you live from the crapity crap crap crap imacs.

im trying, with some difficulty, to kill an hour before a lecture for the subject that "for all intense purposes i dont do". i was gunna skip it but then i thought that perhaps skipping the lecture where they hand out the take home exam would be kinda beneth me.

man, there are people in this room doing legitimate work. pft as if you would. scary thing is, i think i know one of them. i believe it could be the infamous jonny ng. but silly anne is too lazy to say hello.

oh and for the record - i cannot actually sdee what i am typing due to the almighty crapiness of the imas. i cannot explain. its too bizzare.

not wait. its fixed.... tra la lalalalalala....

im hungry..... i know i know, since when am i not hungry, but its 3 in the afternoon and ive had approximately three jelly beans to eat all day (although 3 is an imporovement). i woke up at 7. which was wrong and bad on so many different levels.

im begining to wonder if i should look as though im doing work as the room is slowly filling up.... hmmmm.

i have a very naughty dog. i keep finding her on the kitchen table ?

last night ian and i watched the wonderously tacky Miss Universe pagent. as i cannot be bothered describing the particulars to you, the transcript of our online commentry can be located ..... here.

i realise that this is a lot to read, but if you're bored enough to be reading this, you can probably manage our rantage.

in other news i brought a red nose today. for the only charity i ever purchase for. basically cos SIDS scares the living shit outta me.

i got my group assignment for criminology (BLURK) back today. im v proud to say that the only positive feedback received was on the section i wrote. which was the only one to get full marks also. apparently i had excellent tables.

yes, i am a wanker.

but my other group members, irritating FIRST YEARS that they were, were pretty gosh darn awful. i used two references in my conclusion, which is more than were used in our introduction and literature review by one of them. the other one BOLDED segments of his essay. what kind of idiot does that ? i mean really, and he rewrote what i had intentionally placed in the appendix because he couldnt write a proper methodology. oh and he didnt title it as a methodology, it was 'where? and how?'.

im not joking. we were supposed to go over it together then print it and had it in. they arrived with theirs already printed out to hand in.

the result was a totally disjointed peice of shit, im surprised we did as well as we did, i really really am. but im glad my section was the best. it would have killed me if theirs were any better.

thats really shitty i know. i barely put in any work. but at least i bothered to research. and all i did were the results and conclusion.

RANT RANT RANT

so, unbelievably sore. oh, my, god. worse than yoga.

well lets see, fresh from cancer relay ... well not really, finished at ten. but sleep and bathing was in order.

i think we were walking, on and off for ten hours.

this is a big thing for me. i went to this thing with my max exercise being walking accross uni campus everyday. needless to say i think i should start walking more regularly cos its really rather pathetic. no one really understood that i was so sore, in the words of a rather irritating terrace boy 'but you didnt even run'.

although i did run, for like fifty meters, TWICE. it was v v hard. and painful.

i never knew there were muscles in my thighs. it has been a very illuminating experience.

ANYWAYS a few of the piccers from the relay are located..... here. there will be more added later when and if i ever get my other photos developed. i had to take flash photos w a normal camera as the batteries on my digital cam werent powerful enough to run the flash - interesting hey.

in the meantime, look at my inadequate computer, yet oddly attractice, substitute. i miss my com..... apparently its either the mother board or the chip thats causing the probs (according to andrew my computer guru). but i kinda already knew that.

oh and here is the card i gave soph. i couldnt scan it due to MY COMPUTER BEING BROKEN. sigh. i was too lazy to install the software on this one you seee....
