Listening to: The Wrong Girl – Missy Higgins
“Hold your ground; you’ll never learn a thing if you bail out now.”

The Rules:
1. Each blogger must post these rules first.
2. Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’ve tagged, and to read your blog.

Okay Melissa, this is for you.

1. New stationary turns me on.
2. I love any kind of duck – roasted, barbequed, honey glazed or Peking
3. When I was born, I did not come out crying; doc had to slap my bum a couple of times to get me going.
4. I love exotic accents and secretly try them out to see how it sounds
5. Three shots of whiskey is all I need before I start giggling.
6. I like the hobo quirky look – hippie markets are the greatest. Suspender belts, white t-shirts, black hats…yum.
7. I am the laziest ass that ever existed, but competition drives me faster than you can say go.
8. I think cool is cool when you’re not actively trying to be cool.

Right, I’m not going to tag anyone in particular because I have to start work now but feel free to tag yourselves.

Muchos gracias.

I was the first one in the labs today.
It is now 3.20pm making it almost 8 hours since I have been here.
I am having a headache, I am sleepy, the words aren’t making sence, my toes are numb and I need chocolate.

Let me go.

Update1: I misspelt sense?

The great thing about this week is that I won’t have to monitor my mice on Wednesday and Thursday so I do get to take those days off for Chinese New Year and do my literature research at home. I also have to start packing for the Great Move across the city. I’ve lived in the same house for 19 years (excluding the 3 years I spent abroad and spent trips going back and forth) and believe me, if I thought moving back from Australia was tough, I had no idea what real packing was going to be like.

Factor in 22 years, 5 people, a dog and two turtles and you probably have a better idea of the magnitude of the situation.

Okay Update2: How can anyone work on a Monday? If parliament can pass any bill that will be worth passing it is this: that it should be unlawful to work hard on Mondays simply because it is cruel and unusual punishment. The 5 days of the week stretch limitlessly before you with no sign of glimmering light at the end of the tunnel.

Anyway Barry just called and was all psyched that he is getting a third interview tomorrow (yay!!) and to ask me if I think he should cut his hair…

Now if you know me but at all you would know that I could not get used to his long hair. okay it had begun to grow on me, but I’ve always preferred the crisp clean shaven look. It is my sincere belief that only artists and musicians (and very few ones at that) can be let off with that look, some even look better with longer hair (i.e. the incorrigible Mr Cox from Stardust) but seriously guys, leave the long do’s to the chicks. Barry, me is looking forward to your new do

Congrats again, xoxo!

Btw: 1.5 hours before I get to leave so I better get some work done.

Update3: 4.30 pm

I know I should be reading something right now but I think it says something when I can’t understand what the words mean anymore.

Update 4: 5.52pm

I am watching you, you damned clock.

Listening to: Black Balloon – Goo Goo Dolls
“I saw the world spin beneath you and scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb.”

I came across something interesting today in my reading that I think you might find mildly amusing.

In describing the sexual behaviorisms and mating habits of male rats, one section that caught my attention was the following: “Ejaculations were followed by genital grooming and a period of disinterest in the female.” (Sisk and Meek, 1997).

These are male rats.

You could almost be talking about another very familiar species.
