Fish markets... *drool*

I worked out why I could never post, I have 2 accounts, one is minervaqm and the real one is minerva_qm. So I kept logging into minervaqm and getting an empty dashboard. Ahha! Now I have to remember it's minerva_qm. If I ever forget, someone remind me. And you can't delete accounts yet either, it seems they don't have that function yet, according to bloghelp.

Fish markets was gooooood. Thank you Leach for organising it "Three cheers for Leach, hip hip, hooray, hip hip, hooray, hip hip hooray"
So we had, 'round 700g of salmon sashimi, 1/2 kilo of xl king prawns, 3 dozen oysters (1 doz Tasmanian pacific and 2 doz Sydney rock), calamari and of course wasabi and soy sauce as condiments. Also opened up the familiar looking champagne ;) for a toast all round. Then we ate some Max Brenner chocolate thins, mmmm... yummm...

FISH MARKET PHOTOS UP ON MY PHOTOBUCKET

After, we headed to Glebe Markets, soo expensive the lightrail tix. But was worth it to get to Glebe to buy books! And look longingly at jewellery at the Markets.
Then, after parting ways with Angi and Cat, *farewell farewell* oh yes and Hannah too, I hope she's alright. Kat, Lena, Karen and I headed to Cold Rock Ice creamery where we proceeded to select and mix in ice cream (not without some failed shortcuts, hehe). I had a Peanut butter choc swirl with cookie dough, Karen had a cookies and cream with cookie dough and crunchie (even though belatedly found out there were O-REEEE-O'S), Kat had rum and raisin and cherry ripe, and Lena had cookies and cream and, and, damn I forgot what it was. Oops.

Then after that, I wanted to head home, but was stopped by three people trying to drag off my bag, wallet, camera and glasses. And the only thing I really needed was my train ticket, but still I don't trust anyone else with my wallet, I have learnt my lesson all through physics I tell you! Then headed to Broadway Bar? had some drinks, had a good chat, well interesting chat really, eh?

Then went to UTS and had a sit down and chat, and had some things revealed to me, and interesting predictions. I'm sorry Kat, I really wasn't trying to harrass you, I find it interesting what/how people think of me and whether I'll really turn out like that in the future. Although after Lena and Karen kindly dropped me off later that night, I did learn some things, whether it'll be used in the near future or not, well, I don't know, I really don't know. You guys probably are discussing it now or thinking about it but, yea, I don't know.

But for sure, one true thing Lena said today, I would give the guy who'd love me (hehe) f***** hell for ages before anything would happen. I guess a trial(s) as in trials, not try-outs would be my thing, I mean, if you can't stand me, don't waste my time, I don't wanna find out 5 years later that you in fact really can't stand me. But yea.
And also as Kat said today, that I'd change to do something else when I get sick of nursing, because I can't stand routine, and I don't like stagnancy and it'll drive me insane. Lol, sadly I can see that happening. It's true routine does drive me insane unless I enjoy it. There's a certain safety net to nursing where routine is routine, also for the first 8 years, there's a guranteed payrise annually. But yea, I can see myself not working the floor for the rest of my life, but I can envisage myself working as a CNE (clinical nurse educator) or CNS (Clinical nurse specialist). Hell, maybe even nurse researcher, but I bloooody hope not. So you never know, our personalities do change over time, whether we adjust to our lives or still remain the same person all our lives*shrugs*

Sorry, very long post, had some good talks and some things to think about. But I gotta go study (read ff now).

Well my dad came back today, brought clothes, one which I told him to take back to HK to exchange. Or does anyone want a forest green granny cardigan, I. Am. So. Not. Kidding. I know I dress older than my age but really, I'm not 70 and in a nappy.

- Tree of life dress, black flowy, would be good as pjs or out with boots, tad seethrough even though it's black, great for summer. Possibly need a short slip.
- brown dress which you guys saw yesterday
- orange halter top
Come now, who can resist a half price sale on 2nd hand books, of course I can't.
- The White Raven by Diana L. Paxson
- The complete poetry and selected prose of John Donne

Need to buy

I've applied, I've applied, I'm insane and I've applied

I also have suicidal ideations. So I went to the Honours roadshow and spoke to the Head of Program and another research student. Oi vey. Well she's encouraging people to do it fulltime or at least parttime. And I've put in my application this afternoon after getting 3 referees soooo... they'll send a confirmation letter sometime later.
'pparently they need a research assistant in the area I wanna go in, as in now. They need one now, and they're also encouraging me to go to a research retreat in the 4th Dec. That's too soon, dammit. I don't know. I'll have to see if I really, really, really want to. It's too soon.

Gotta go in to CCU tomorrow coz the educator wants to chat to me before I start. Oh great, that means I have to bus from Liverpool, *sigh* and then, *sigh* maybe I'll go get some cannoli, no no no, bad bad bad.

One more day of uni left! Of this year, and if I wasn't doing Honours, it'd be my final ever! But it's not. Still gotta do homework and hand in tomorrow, for my twit of a lecturer.

- remember how I said I ordered a black cloak, well it arrived this morning, I love it, it's quite light, thin, panne, a very pointy top, well made. Yays! I'm all ready for HP now!

NOTE TO KAT:
Why are you taking No Doz anyway? Not healthy if you're becoming dependent on it. 1 tablet per dose, minimum 3 hours between each dose. MAX: 6 tablets/24h. Do NOT take with more caffeine.
Try other techniques to reduce fatigue hon, popping a pill won't solve the problem in the long run. The thing is, if you do have chronic fatigue, caffeine, alcohol, sugars, even gluten products are not recommended. Try fresh vegies, wholegrains, proteins, essential fatty acids. Keep your vitamins and minerals at a normal level. And for goodness sake's get off or at least try weaning yourself off caffeine pills. Who recommended you to take them anyway??

Funny how things catch you off-guard

Fi at church called me Punny today. I looked up thinking, 'Who the?!' coz only you guys call me Punny, which I am fond of btw. And it's bizarre when someone other than school friends call me that. And I was looking around at them with my 'Did-someone-tell-you-to-call-me-that??' face on. Very sus.

Had a good chat with Josh bout going overseas, architecture, his woes etc. I need to go overseas soon, oi Cat! When are we going to London??

You know what I find annoying, well Cat and Angi know this. I just don't understand the whole philosophy behind people who will not take analgesia. I know this is a studied phenomenon mainly in men, but dammit, if it hurts, take some meds. And then they say, "No I don't wanna take it coz if I can handle the pain, I will." But no you twit, it's not for the blimmin' pain, it's a blimmin' anti-inflammatory, analgesia is a bonus side effect. If your wrist's blown up and inflamed, I would take an anti-inflammatory! *ranting ranting*
Why do people focus so much on the analgesic/pain side of a drug when it's concurrent use is of equal if not greater benefit??

Had a better day today, considering I'm fighting with my brother. I swear *mutters swearingly* ok not that swearingly.

Went shopping for the hug cups today, bought a Max Brenner set at Btown DJ. Gonna give the cups to my friend, and also eat all the chocolate. It was reduced to half price, but still it costed $64.50. Eep. Well our presents to each other are $30 max so 2 cups is good, right? Also I'm pigging out on the chocolate. There's chocolate thins, oh wait I'll type it up to make you drool:
- caramelised pecan rolled in praline paste and fine cocoa powder
- Javanese coffee beans rolled in white chocolate mixed with cinnamon
- dark chocolate thins with Ecuadorian cocoa bits
- box of milk chocolate chocolat
Mmmmm... and since my friend doesn't like coffee, all the coffee beans are mine, mine, mine.
Hehehe.

Current craving: dinner and then 2 panadol

P & P, well how was it, you say??

Nicht so schlect. Es war... it wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be, lol. Knightley isn't bad as a movie version of Lizzy, the director seems to focus on her face a lot. And the cinematography was very very nice. Especially the 'walking outta the mists' scene. And she has no tits, like I swear *I can picture Trees rolling her eyes here* but like I was saying on the bus back, she ain't got no tits. Not that it's essential, it's just the corset wearing era and she's got nothing to push up.
MacFadyen seems to be a bit stiff for Mr. Darcy, he doesn't seem to show much emotion. I don't know, it just seems to be the same face throughout the film. Hollander as Mr. Collins is hilarious, not as slimy as the BBC version but somehow he's creepily stiff. You'll know what I mean when you watch it.
I love Judi Dench as Lady Catherine de Bourg, she's so... so... she's got all the quirks of how I thought Lady de Bourg would act like.
Rosamund Pike is sooo... pretty as Jane. Sooo... pretty.
3 stars

Then we went to the Loewenbraeu Kellar for a light dinner. All had beers each, I had a Franziskaner Hefe-weissbier Dunkel and Leach had Franziskaner weissbier. Angi had a peach schnapps, Alex had a stein of Loewenbraeu Original, Cat ordered a glass of water and then, a stein of Loewenbraeu Original as well, and didn't finish it! *tsk tsk*. We had an antipasti platter of German cold cuts, pickled veg, potato salad and bread. Calamari with passionfruit sauce, and a $7 garden salad, and Leach had some Wiener Schnitzel.
Shame we didn't have any dessert eh Leach? *nudge nudge*

Then walking back, I proceeded to wet Leach in the back with water, when she upturned the Mt. Franklin on my chest. *hurrumphf* And I still continued putting water on her shirt.

Split our ways, then on the bus back to Lilyfield, Angi and I proceeded to sing parts of the POTO libretto, while Cat had a nap, possibly due to our wonderfully calming voices *hehehehe* Then off to sleep.

Woke up, had some toast and tea, then out to Glebe markets (coz I'd never been), bought a nice looking safety pin among other stuff, went to buy some groceries and I headed off home.

Thank you letting me crash guys, and it was great seeing you all last night. Hope to see you all again on Saturday!

BTW, should I leave like, a bar of soap and a spare toothbrush at Lilyfield next time I come over?? And possibly pjs?





While you sometimes loathe your dark and lonely world you can see the beauty that blossoms around you. You are an artist and mysterious in nature.

Which POTO character are you?

Now since I gave you guys such a hard one before, this should be much, much, distressingly easier

The last song was Someone like you by Dinah Caroll on the Bridget Jones' Diary OST. Shame, shame, yea it was a hard one.

As quoting Trees:
"and thus I'll be tearing my hair out.... after all, who can replace Colin Firth as Mr Darcy?! and to have Keira Knightley play Lizzie?!?!??!"
At least it's only 2 hours, not 6 like the series. No, Colin Firth will forever be the Mr. Darcy for ladies born after 1960. I think Matthew McFadyen is for the new generation of screaming girls, such as primary schoolers who would see Colin Firth as a more father figure, hopefully instead of a sugar daddy *rotf*

Oh yea, I forgot to mention my dental update. I gagged several times when my dentist tried to place the xray cord/whatever into the back of my mouth. Hehe, well found out if my tooth isn't wildly outta shape, my bottom R side is growing straight up but my bottom L side is growing into my molars and will push my teeth together and forward. So he said, watch it for a few months and if I notice my teeth coming together, I have to come in and see if it can be removed.
*sigh*

Details for P & P up on spampage. Please take note if coming and respond. Also note dresscode ;)

Yes, I hired out Ladies in lavender and The Piano. Haven't watched The Piano yet but gonna tomorrow. Funnily enough I chose 2 movies with classical scores.
I liked Ladies in lavender, never really watch films with the plots of older women and their coping with maturation and lost love etc. But not bad if not tragic.

Current background noise: Amazon - OST Ladies in Lavender. If anyone wants to listen to violin music, you should listen to this, well and watch the movie.

Mmm... triple choc fudge cookies...

Man, I cannot stand my lecturer, she is such a twit, I've never met such a big twit in my life, lucky she's not working regularly on a ward. Her damn harsh marking as well, I'm gonna be lucky to hit a high pass for this subject. Well that'd look great for my Honours application *ranting ranting*

My day off tomorrow, yays, then I have an Honours roadshow next Tuesday at uni. It better be worth it coz I have to find referees if I'm gonna do it. Gonna send off Wong's package and plan out some studying (ha!).

Remember P&P this Friday, everybody better come! Who has the time... and the money... and the patience...

Recent purchases:
- some goodies for Wong in Armidale (gonna send off her package tomorrow)
- an orange Boho singlet top (another on the whim piece of clothing *shakes head*)
- denim skirt from Colorado (I love sales) also I suspect this skirt won't keep falling down like my other one.
- a chocolate coated gingerbread pretzel (yea baby)
- Byron Bay triple choc fudge cookies (I was in DJ Btown today, speaking about that, there were 2 Max Brenner sets on sale, as in 2x hug cups, nuts, chocolate thins, choc coated coffee beans and the box of milk choc chocolat, all for $64.50) Was seriously considering buying for friend but expiry date was Nov 1st so that would be dodgy. Well only considered the cups coz she wants them. Meh, I'll wait til Friday and buy the V's B ones.

Serenity with Angi & Cat

Thank you guys for the great night, had lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots of food... too much food... *yes Leach, it's blasphemy* sooo much food, going to be uggh now :) Thank you for picking me up and dropping me off as well you guys *squeezes hard* hope you get to eat the cake, wear the clothes, and breathe through your nose soon (to Angi) ;)

Serenity was good, noooooo... why??? Nooooo... don't die... I figure I can say this coz I don't think anyone else watches Joss Whedon shows. Noooo... Waaaaaasssshh... and he's the funny guy tooo. Noooo... Well yes we definitely know who won't be in the second season. A tad more gruesome/violent than I thought it would be. Whedon style jokes throughout the movie, so funny in bits. It's good they went into River's history, always wondered what was up with her character. Also nice-looking doctor. Extraordinarily, shippy moment there between Simon and Kaylee. Sooooo shippy I was rolling my eyes and groaning, also Angi kept prodding me whenever I did that ;P
All in all, good for fans of scifi or Whedon in general. Might be a bit too much for non-scifi fans, what do you think ladies?

Serenity quiz - Which character are you?

Also had light dinner at Pacific Palm Breeze cafe, or Palm Breeze cafe, or Pacific Breeze cafe, one of those. Had a mezze plate for 3 or was it 2 (he was quite confusing), bbq octopoti salad, I had a Pacific cocktail, Angi had a oh oh darnit it was the green one with apple, and Cat had a strawberry cocktail. Then I had sticky date pudding and a Vienna coffee, Angi had a creme brulee with a chai latte and Cat had an iced chocolate with strawberry gelato. Although poor Cat had a dried out and salted tongue after eating copious amounts of popcorn ;)

Then had a little drive around and chat back at my house, which included trying on clothes which I was gonna ebay off. Good, good saves me taking photos, putting them up and not getting scammed. That means that Cat now owns an XL dress, which sadly is a tad small for me. I swear, HK labels are very dodgy when Cat's like nearly 20cm smaller than me. She looks very acolytish in it *not a word I know*. Don't spill anything on it woman!

Anyways tis past 0200 now, must read today's fanfic and head to sleep, although I think I better stay sitting up for a bit longer.

NOTICE:
Pride and Prejudice on Friday arvo possibly. If so, I'm not heading out to the city on Tuesday.
Anyone?
Pulling Angi & Cat into it.
Yes lovers of Colin Firth and the BBC *speaking for myself as well* David and Margaret gave good reviews 4.5 and 4 stars respectively so I can't resist going to see it.

Ok better be going now.

So it was a good night tonight

Rebecca was surprised which is always good for a surprise 70s theme party.
I cooked
- antipasti platter - chargrilled capsicum, eggplant, zucchini
- marinated mushrooms and asparagus
- spiced couscous
- chocolate pecan cake
And also helped out with the cooking when I got to the house.

Soooo much food... also coming home, the chargrilled capsicum started leaking off the plate, outta the bag and onto my skirt, which now consequently smells like chargrilled capsicum. Also had a fun trivia game, which sadly I was the only one who got the last question "What is Macgyver's first name" "..." "..." "Angus." *hides under the table laughing*

Had a good night all in all. Had some wine offered by Josh, and then he continuously took incriminating photos of me drinking the wine. I swear, do I just let people take incriminating photos of me or do I ask for it by actually drinking wine??
*sigh* I have too many incriminating photos. *sigh* lucky other incriminating stuff isn't in print though ;)

And Josh got to see POTO at the West End for FREE!! NOOOOOO! Coz he was staying the the guy who played Buquet's place. And he has a signed programme of the whole cast, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO................. *sobbing* Oh why, why, why? The pain, the pain.

In other news, I've got my dental appointment tomorrow at 1130. I wonder if he'll recommend pulling the suckers out. Or leave me eating soft foods, I couldn't eat a steak couple of nights ago *sigh* will find out.

I got my roster for the first 2 weeks of one-month block, and it sucks. I'm on morning shift, then one afternoon then morning shift again. And the 2nd week she was gonna put me on all morning shifts. Are you insane?! I got to change one to afternoon shift and that was the 2nd Thursday. So for the first 2 weeks, 2 afternoon shifts and 8 morning shifts. Bloody hell, and I asked if I could get afternoon shifts as a majority. Ok I understand I have to be buddied up with an RN but no RN would work 5 days straight of morning shifts. Especially on the ward with the most myocardial infarcts (heart attacks) and MET calls, consequently the busiest ward in the hospital, save A&E.

NOTICE:
I'm coming into the city on Tuesday so if anyone wants to do something, tell me. Gotta go to Victoria's Basement, I said I'd buy the hug cups as a Chrissy present.

Trying to organise HP

New song up.

Don't mind me, I'm gonna bags organising this ;)

Options: it comes out on the Thursday 1st December
- Saturday 10th Dec in the evening
Rationale: I'm thinking the 10th so we're at least free of most of the screaming prepubecents. Possibly a post 2030 session. Dinner as well beforehand. Also my roster hasn't been organised yet, not til November at least.
Dress code: swishing robes/cloak (and please wear something under it ;P)

Anyone with objections?

I've got a party on Thursday night. Gotta cook, let's see what I can do:
- antipasti
- chargrill eggplant
- chargrill zucchini
- marinated button mushrooms
- marinated asparagus?
- spiced couscous
I'm thinking of baking a cake but it's too much, especially coz I'd have to buy Equal and egg substitute (diabetic btw). Too hard, I think I'll just, bring the antipasti and couscous. I've got some olives as well so I might grab some boccocini as well. Maybe I can make some bruschetta?
And even better, my brother's being an anal orifice so I'll probably have to pinch a lift off someone to get there.

Fnished the last assessment!

Yays, now I just gotta laminate this stupid poster then hand it in and I'm done.

To do on Monday:
- hand in my poster
- call up Liverpool to organise my roster (btw) is there anything we're gonna do between 14th of November and 9th of December coz that's when I have to preorganise stuff. That is morning or afternoon shift etc. In particular, HP is out on the 1st.
- wish Josh a good birthday
- dunno, anything else, oh yes buy groceries

I forgot to ask LEACH! Does Hastie or Michelle know about these blogs??

I feel like putting up another embarrassing photo of Trees. Hmmm...

I'm gonna make up a salvation package to Armidale on Monday, any messages for Wong. Hmm... need to go to Asian grocery then. Maybe some lollies, some chocolate of course. Oh that reminds me, I was gonna get that cocktail book from Kinokuniya for her, damn I wonder if it's still $15? Hmmm.

Alan Rickman as Sheriff of Nottingham *nods grinningly* This version is extended with some extra random scenes. One of them being, the witch Mortianna is in fact the Sheriff of Nottingham's mother *shock horror* *puts back of hand to forehead and faints*

You know, it always takes 20min for me to write something up, I swear I'm typing at 0135 and I post at 0200.

One more assessment to go

New song up: title only. Will give extra 50 stars to the person who will video themselves dancing to the song and place on the net ;P

Thank God for extensions. I've got a poster to go and I'm done til the exams.

I just finished another assessment due today (Friday) several hours ago. It's such an incredibly stupid assessment. We have options as to what to write about in the context of nursing leadership. The option I've chosen (and others have also chosen) don't mention anything about nursing leadership nor getting literature to reference. And referencing and literature in the criteria takes at least 5% of 30%. And it's only supposed to be max. 500 words. Stupid gits, a 500 word reflective report is worth 30% of our grade when it doesn't even have to do with the damn subject. Argghhh! Just ranting, just ranting.

*sigh*

Dracula obssession has decreased in intensity, although I do have this picture as my desktop now.


Although I do think this one's much much funnier.

*rolls on floor laughing*

So, I've got a poster to do, and then to laminate it. Then I'm free to go see movies. Tuesday perhaps? I need to go buy some hug cups at Victoria Basement as well in the city (for a friend). So Serenity??

NO SONG GUESSES THIS POST.

Well, I finished my assessment at 0240, had a shower, and now I'm blogging.

Guess what, one of my wisdom teeth are coming out. My bottom right side tooth is crowning (for want of a better word). I really need to see the dentist asap. I don't want it projecting any further, otherwise 2 years of braces and over $2000 would have gone to waste. Must see either Friday or early next week.

I made Moghlai chicken yesterday which made me even more aware of it. You know, the flaked almonds aren't exactly the nicest on emerging teeth. Will probably have to stick to yoghurt for a couple of weeks (if I'm lucky). And porridge, and semolina, and risotto, and pudding, ok not sounding too bad now. At least there's good yoghurt at uni, mmm... natural yoghurt with passionfruit and strawberries... I might see if they have mango instead, easier than chewing. Oh darn it, and it's Ramadan this month, which means I'm getting invited over to my friend Jasmeen's place for lunch POST-Ramadan. I love free Indian food. Stupid wisdom teeth, I'm not even wise darnit.

Current background noise: OST Bram Stoker's Dracula - Annie Lennox - Love song for a vampire. I don't know what it is about this song, it literally makes me slow down my breathing and makes me breathe deeper. I think I just love the mood and lyrics of this song so much it just affects me so. If anyone's seen the movie and felt pity for Dracula *sigh* here I'll post the lyrics. Oh oh I wanna watch it again. I swear, there's 2 Gary Oldman films that absolutely break my heart coz I love them so much, Immortal Beloved and Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's worse than watching Dr. Zhivago for me.
Current mood: since I'm listening to the Dracula OST, I'm dreamy, and wishful *cough*
Current craving: a glass of tepid water

I really should be doing that assessment.

But I'm not, terrible, terrible, how could they ever be crazy enough to offer me Honours. I'm gonna fudge the results and hand it in on the deadline.

Well the colloquium wasn't too bad. Free tea and coffee, muffins, pastries, and a free buffet lunch. Hoo yea!
Also found out how seriously fulltime an Honours is. Eeeep. Will probably not work and study next year. Will probably defer now after finding out more about it. In other news, I'm building a good rapport with my old tutors (now phD student and another lecturer).

Watched Bram Stoker's Dracula yesterday, definitely my favourite horror flick of all time. I love how Gary Oldman can humanise Dracula, even though he's a blood sucking old letch. Hehehe, I wouldn't mind being Mina, in the dinner, absinthe and dancing scene. The biting scene and ripping open corset bit I can pass on. I swear what are these absolutely bizarre fanta... dreams of mine... ...???

Lol, yes, Trees, I really do want to live somewhere with you. As long as they have soft, padded walls and jackets with lotsa straps too. ;) Nah... they'd more likely be surrounded by cigarette smoke and chemical restraints.

You know, I truly believe that when Leach gets hitched, her and her husband +/- kids will spend more on their grocery bill than the house itself.

So we're getting dressed up for HP? What will it be, swishing cloaks and robes or pyjamas?
