This morning I went food shopping and did a fridge clear out. This afternoon I went and saw Coraline 3D which was gorgeous. I'm not quite convinced that 3D is worth the money, or the effort that went into producing it, but I appreciated the advance in tech that means you don't have to wear red/green glasses.

This evening I was suffering mild going-to-work-tomorrow anxiety, which nosedived into a sulk when I realised a perfect job was closing tomorrow that I'd only just found out about.

Pah, says samvara, you've written hundreds of those! Hand in a crap one! which inspired me enough to open and word document and start hacking and pasting. So now I have a mostly complete (crappy) three page selection criteria and a filled out vacancy form attached to an email to my work-self which reads 'call them an hassle them about submitting via email'.

Which has been a rather awesome exercise in 'anxiety that makes me freeze, or fret uselessly' versus 'using controlled adrenaline to get things done'. Take note, self.

( Also, notes to self about the last few days: )

Anyone want anything appearing in the below photo? They're from my brief flirtation with Wicca back in my teens, and have been stored in a dry, dark chest for a long time. Still smells good :P

Most of the incense in particular was given to me by a beloved friend, and I'd love for it to be used by someone who would appreciate it. Inquire within (maharetr at yahoo.com) for pick up address.



ETA: Candles have been claimed. Candle holders and incense are still up for grabs.

Pancakes with strawberries and the Moonlight Sonata in my kitchen. My life, it does not suck.

Echoing 's post: she and I shall be having a combined birthday party on the 19th of June to celebrate our 35th and 25th birthdays respectively.

We're going to make a balloon pit and light up the backyard. We're asking everyone to bring a dessert of some awesome concoction. Dinner will be ... sweet! :)

I have this feeling that renovation posts should be all about: "Look how much prettier we made this!" This is not that sort of renovation post.

(a.k.a black_samvara is awesome)

This is how we had the projector/DVDs/media box set up until about four hours ago:
*curses the blurriness*



A trip to Bunnings, a lot of drilling and shelf and couch moving later...
( we have this )

Does anyone in our circle of friends have an olive pitter?

Okay, this is a rough draft of 'things wot cost money and why' during the (continuing) renovations of my room.
