Every time I hear the radio station play Justin Timberlake’s ‘Senorita’ I get an image in my head of Justin Timberlake in drag when he sings like a chick (well tries to) at the end. Little red dress, strapy high heels, blonde wing and tons of make up. Scary.

I got my hair cut today, it’s about shoulder length and has a little side fringe thing going on. I love it because it’ll be easier to wash, dry, style, and dye. I love my hair long, but once it gets too long it pisses me off so much I always end up chopping it off before summer hits. I also found $5 on the ground, which I needed to pay for the haircut. I’m weird like that, anyone remember that Seinfeld episode where they go on about how if Jerry loses $20 he always finds $20 somewhere? Yeah, I’m like that.

I emailed NG a few days ago and asked her if she had ever thought of opening an online store with cafepress selling shirts, mug, mousepads, g-strings and other things with her artwork on it. She liked the idea and has opened one at cafeshops.com/notus, there’s some great stuff there so go check it out. I’m saving up for one of her g-strings and a baby doll shirt. 😉

This makes me wish I never sold my 3 boxs of lego for $20 at a garage sale, I too could have had my own army of little lego men to do stuff for me. I’d teach them how to make pan cakes and pour a glass of coke, mmmm.

I saw this quote on an e-bay book review and it’s been in my head for the last few days… “Lies are like loans, for one should take on as few as is necessary and keep them as small as possible.” I like that. The reviewer was talking about how sometimes you should lie to protect loved ones, but never tell them to hurt others.

Anyone know of a good feed reader? I’ve tried ‘feedreader’ ‘klipfolio’ and ‘awasu’ and none of them really impressed me.

All this week I’ve been getting phone calls from friends, friends of friends, people who say they’re related to me and people who I think must have seen “call this number if you have a computer problem” on a bathroom stall. It pretty much goes along these lines:

Random odd person: “Hi, I’m [Insert ROP’s name here] and I know [Insert another ROP’s name here]. How are you?”
Me: “I’m good, how are you?”
ROP: “Good, good… But I’m umm, having some problems with my computer.”
Me: *Puts down phone and bangs head into table*
ROP: “Hello?”

They’re all calling because they have the Sobig.F virus on their computer and have no idea what to do. I try to talk them through the process of getting rid of it, but in the end I sigh and tell them to drop over their case. It’s actually a lot less time consuming that way. All I’ve received so far is a bottle of cheap red wine for my effort.

For those that haven’t noticed it in my right hand side menu yet, I’ve added linkpool to my site. It’s sort of like a mini link blog, but it’s used across various sites and they pool their interesting links together.

The new Ikea magazine has just been placed before me, so I must go now and plan fantasy kitchens and lounge rooms. 🙂

Do you know what really sucks when I’m sick? Having to clean out the fridge when I’m feeling better because no one else has bothered to do it. I swear one of the old sweet potatoes told the hairy tomato to bite my arm off if I disturbed their precious world that is the bottom of our fridge. Or maybe it was the lettuce?

I’m getting really into cooking lately. Not that I didn’t cook before, I always have, but due to me not being able to eat half of the things in cooking books my range of things to cook was limited. Lately I’ve been watching some of Jamie Oliver�s shows, and I really like that little naked chef that uses a handful of salt on everything.

My back (well it’s my hip really, but I’ve got so used to calling it that) is killing me this week, especially at night. I’ll sleep for about 3 hours then wake up in pain and not be able to go back to sleep, so I get up and wait for a pain killer kick in. Last night I took a different pain killer and slept 7 hours straight, you have no idea how happy I am today because of it. Sleep is good.

Speaking of medical things, am I the only one that is freaked out by that guy on the PBS government sponsored TVC that tells us not to fill prescription medications in Australia? He was the worst choice for it, I want to beat that guy with his prescription pad when he goes on about not filling prescription medications. Some people could take that literally and become sick because of it, and personally I think he needs to take more of his prescription medications.

Why are people so quick to assume things they know nothing about?

Take this form mail I got today… “your face doesn’t seem symmetrical enough for you to ever have been a model. strange. but, i guess we can be whoever, online.” – lung smeltzer@lexingrad.net. I replied with “are you calling me a liar? I was marketed as a high fashion runway model, the focus isn’t a perfectly symmetrical face, but a slim body that the clothes look fantastic on. You shouldn’t assume things you know nothing about sweetheart.”

I’m fine with people having opinions about me and the things I say, everyone is entitled to that, but assuming things then calling me a flat out liar isn’t right. What’s next, someone saying they don’t think I’m in Australia because there’s no fucking kangaroo’s in my pictures?

Kitta.net is one year old today! They grow up so quickly, one minute you’re pondering over a domain name, next your re-newing it, and then before you know it’s all grown up. *sniffles*

No seriously, I feel like I should say something, yet nothing comes to mind. All I’ll say is that this last year has been kick ass. I’ve met people who have made me laugh, hosted a some cool people, had people email me thousands upon thousand of emails. Some sweet, some oddly interesting, others just fucked up. But it’s all good. I’ve also met some amazing people and made some good friends through this website.

I look forward to entertaining you all for the next few years in my little corner of the web. 🙂

I haven’t been feeling to well today, I think I have a throat infection or something, feels like I ate glass. Soothers are my friend today. I fixed my xml feed yesterday. Greymatter and xml really don’t like each other and I wish I could have more then 2 entries on the feed, but I don’t know if you can do that with Greymatter. I have to show you this photo I took of Harry after he had a bath yesterday…

He looks so proud of himself because he took a bath

I was watching Oprah today, which I don’t normally do but this show caught my attention while I was channel surfing. She was doing a ‘my favorite things for spring’ show where she gives her audience free stuff like hp color printers/digital cameras, the roomba vacuum cleaner, iPods and all this other stuff. Damn, I wish I had been in that audience. Although I have to agree with Ernie, half the audience did look insane, I think it was due to the amount of free crap they were getting. Overloaded their brains. Funny thing is the ladies were so happy to hear they were getting some applesauce, yet when she mentioned the iPods they really didn’t know what to think. Then she said how much it cost and they realized it wasn’t just some kids toy, so they went insane. Only the guys in the audience understood what an iPod meant.

I even perfected the clap dance they do, and you can do it too. All you do is jump up and down clapping the palms of your hands together and scream when someone gives your free stuff. It’ll be all the rage in clubs next week.

Here’s a few links that entertained me today…
If this was real, I’d so want one.
Damn these bubbles, burst I say, burst!
Half life, the movie?!

(Rolling On The Floor Laughing Too Hard To Stop And Scaring The Cat, Meanwhile My Mom Walked In And Thought I Had Eaten Poisonous Mushrooms And She Called The Paramedics And They Took Me Too Mad House And All Of This Is Your Fault You Stupid Fathead Piece Of Shit With Your Lame Jokes That Make Me Laugh This Much You Bastard)

I tried to burn down the kitchen today. I was cooking some pasta for dinner when I left it for what I swear was only 10 minutes to fix my printer. Must have been much more than 10 minutes, because as I was busy installing new drivers I smelt smoke and rushed back to my now black pasta’s aid. I now have two things to do tomorrow…

• 1. Work out why the bloody smoke alarm never went off even though the kitchen was full of smoke.
• 2. Find something that will get the black off the pot because I’ve been told to clean it and get it back to it’s former pot glory. Oh won’t that be fun.

I’ve made up my own new aussie word. Well, it’s an existing word but I’ve been using it in sentences a lot at in certain situations. The situation being when people grab food off my plate while I’m eating, which really bugs me (meaning if you ever are next to me while I’m eating, don’t bloody do it!). Lately whenever anyone does it I say loudly “Oi, leave it alone you dingo!” and add an evil look in the direction of the dingo in question. Why call them a dingo? Because dingo’s are know in Australia for stealing food from campsites in Queensland (and also babies), so I thought it was the perfect word to use. Feel free to use it yourself.
