Song of the Day: Something For Kate - Monsters
Whatever religion you follow, whatever God you believe in.. thank him/her/it for me for the rain..
First of all, so many topics to cover in this post.. apologies if I tend to swing from topic to topic.. I don't post so much any more and I think you all know why. Its because I don't have net access at home, of course.
This summer has been more than I could bear. The heat is killing me, and it doesn't help to see my friends over the other side of the world are living in paradise-like sub-zero tempretures.
Last week, it was 40 degrees here, and on that day it was 8 degrees in London. -11 in Chicago. I obsess over this for a little until I wake up one day and think to myself "I'm watching the fucking weather channel for God's sake." Whichever deity was responsible... thank you for the 22 degrees you bestowed upon our little town today.
You know how at the start of spring, when its only just starting to get over about 20 degrees, and those girls come out in force wearing tiny little non-existent outfits? It's like, the slightest excuse to show a bit of flesh and they're out in force. I was like that today, only with winter.
Today featured a stunning ensemble of long suit jacket, roll neck jumper, skirt and knee high boots. Everyone kept asking me if I was hot.. no way. I was fucking ECSTATIC! I went to bed last night, it was raining. I woke up this morning, it was raining. Life is fucking wonderful, so I'll wear my boots.. thank you. Someone said I looked as though I belonged in Russia or something.. I just smiled.
In other news... went to the Barossa on Monday (public holidays... yay!!!) with a group of friends on a wino trip. We're at the 79376392nd winery on the list, and I'm sitting on this bench with Kylie. She turns to me and she goes "hey.. that chick looks a bit familiar.." so I look.. and its this blond chickkie that used to be on A Country Practice. Gawd. I felt like a hick. She was doing the full on sunglasses inside look and everything. She still looked great though.
So I bought this weeks New Weekly today (don't give me shit, I know a guy who will read all of mine and when questioned will say he's reading it "for the sports section"). On the gossip pages, theres a picture of Geri Halliwell (aka Ginger Spice) coming out of The Ivy in London, after having dinner with a friend. It made me wonder if this kind of celeb spotting is normal in London. Am I about to leave Adelaide - home to the Barossa, official hangout of out-of-work aussie tv actors - for a bit of Spice Spotting? The mind boggles.
I am hearing from Toby a lot which is excellent. Sometimes I miss him but most of the time I am envious. I don't care how bloody cold it is.. I'm still going.
Another guy from the bank is relocating to London also.. which is scary cos we started at the bank on the same day and are heading in the same direction. If he wasn't young and silly, (and hadn't recently got back from a dubious Asian holiday) I'd think Athena Starwoman was onto something!
My eBay'ing has taken a strange turn also. I've gone from being the user to being a dealer.. getting rid of all my old crap, I can't believe some people buy my shit. I'm saving a lot of it for the move, but a nice pile is going to a worthy cause. (Can't tell you cos he sometimes reads this page and will guess!) Anyway.. I'm officially an eBay dealer.. still buying loads of stuff tho. Today I won an auction for a Burberry clothing piece.. and I was so happy I didn't get sniped. Burberry is fastly becoming my favourite designer label. When did I get into designer labels?!?!?
Actually, it was right around the time I bought my first Sachi handbag and patent leather high heeled mary janes (currently the favourite for "inanimate item I'd most want to have sex with".. as you do.)
Ahh fuckit, I'm the happiest that I've been for as long as I can remember. As long as I have somewhere to go with air con, that is :)
