Fiji Me

Love the advert and missing the islands. It's been too long.

I had every intention of returning this year for my mid winter break, but sadly don't think I will have enough money.

Just a few snaps from my last visit!

Fiji, I miss you!

Rain + Flu = No Fun

I hate the rain. Not always, but i do today. Sometimes I find it strangely refreshing. Sometimes i look like a mad woman when i go and stand in the rain just for the hell of it. I am sick - head cold, nose running, throat hurting sick.

boo.

but on the plus side that means all weekend in front of the TV watching DVDs wrapped up in a blanket and getting James to bring me lemon& honey drinks.

Now all i need to do is struggle on with work for a few more hours!

'People I don't like' By Bushby, Poynter & Samra

In 2008, with some likeminded fools (M.Samra and K.Poynter) I created the list of people who should we didn't like.

Most of them are still relevant, others not so much!

• People that say you can't criticise religion
• People with moustaches
• People that judge me when I'm drunk
• People that are drunk when I am sober ( i judge them)
• Aucklanders that think they're so shit hot cos they're in About Town, when really the rest of the world laughs at us
• People that talk on cellphones on buses or in elevators
• People that say “everything is going to be alright” …what in this world is alright?
• Tom Cruise
• People who state the obvious..you had your haircut
• People that ask 'what's wrong?' when you obviously don't wanna talk about it
• People that say 'someone's in a bad mood' which makes that person madder
• Bogans
• Middle aged men
• People that try and stop progress
• Scientologists
• People who call me “doll”
• People that hate you and don’t even get the time to know you
• People who walk slowly in front of you
• People who get sick and pass it on to you
• People who sniff
• People who chew gum
• People who are really anal about others getting their names right when they have stupid names
• People that don't watch where they're walking
• People that don't find Summer Heights High funny
• People who whisper…I give them the evils because I always take it personally.
• People who use the word ‘nice’ to describe me….the English vocab is large try using it! ‘Nice’ also means blah
• People who ask unnecessary questions
• People who complain about being fat then do nothing about it ….anorexia exsists! Embrace it.
• People that say 'tea' instead of 'dinner'
• People with piggy banks
• People that order deluxe triple beef whopper burgers with cheese combos... with diet cokes
• People that clear their throats (repeatedly) in the office
• People that have those little bits of eye goo in the corners of their eyes
• Midgets
• People with attractive feet
• People that use predictive text. They spell every word correctly, but fail to use punctuation. Are you asking me a question or not?
• People that shorten your name without knowing you for the required period of time (i.e. long enough to warrant the bestowing of a nickname. Which is generally six months at least. Less for good behaviour.)
• People who used to like house music, but are now into ‘hard core break beats’.
• People who try to tell me ‘The Hills’ isn’t actually real life and that I don’t really look like Whitney.
• People called Chantal from New Zealand Office Supplies (stop ringing me I don’t need any frigging toner you perky freak).
• People who don’t find other peoples misfortune amusing.
• People who dump all their work on my desk and then go out for a long lunch.
• People who don’t appreciate the beauty of a good undercut.

Love is a Mix Tape

I have always wanted to be gifted a mix tape.

The closest i came was an iPod playlist of music i really didn't like, which defeats the purpose because mix tapes are suppose to contain the music that the person you are giving them to likes.

I have given mix CD's before to people i like and i remember when i was younger taping songs off the radio for people - usually song cut in half by DJ's adding their two cents!

If i was to receive a mix tape i would want to have the following songs on it.

1. Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel

2.Taper Jean Girl - KOL

3. One Life Stand- Hot Chip

4.You've got the love - Florence & The Machine

5.The Nowhere Man - The Veils

6.Daniel - Bat for Lashes

7.Last Nite - The Strokes

8.Scientist - Coldplay

9. One More Chance - Bloc Party

10. I Still Remember - Bloc Party

11. Crazy Love - Van Morrison

12.First Day of my Life - Bright Eyes

13.Rock and Roll Queen - The Subways

14. Old Friends, New Lovers - The Thrills

The list could go on.....and each time I think of one i realise i don't have them on my new iPod -so i download the album off iTunes...so it's getting expensive.

And relooking at my list ...none of them go together well.

I guess i too would make myself a crap mix tape.

oh well that's what Genius on iTunes was designed for!

Funny & Clever

I found this today and it made me LOL...

And then she was gone....

The office is not the same. We are all in mourning.

I even sat at her desk today - which seems a little creepy.

I miss my twin!
