"Two big nights in a row isn't a good idea...especially when you have a morning event which requires you to be up at 6am. "
To top it off..... i haven't packed for my trip, i haven't baked the birthday cake, i havent changed money and my flight is early in the morning.
I could so do with a nap right about now....
On a brighter note....stay tuned for updates while I am away...the villa has wireless...YIPPEE!

I was a notti gal last night….what was meant to be a quick catchup with a couple of friends after work…ended up being a late late night. On the way back in the cab…all I could think of was shower and bed….I was too tired to even think about heating up some food though I was starving. N was waiting for me when I got home…and he was all excited like a kid. He insisted we took a drive to the marina and he had to show me something TONIGHT.

| Phat NerdZ! Off the Air. |
[15 Jul 2009|07:42am] |
I at 1st thought i was getting taken off the air but this morning i just received an e-mail congratulating me i will still have a show for block 3. Only problem is that the slot the have given me is on 1am Sun night/Mon Morning till 2am. So i fuck that, its not worth my time.
Besides i have already prepared myself to dedicate all the time i would of to my radio to actually becoming a real DJ. It may sound really stupid but im finding myself at night b4 going to sleep in-visioning myself behind the decks at a night club doing my shit :D I feel as if i have a dream, i dont think i have ever really had a dream before, something i really wanna see myself doing in a years time, something i wanna do to really acheive something. So i am really excitied! Im planing on going down to Billy Hydes next weekend with Corch and checking out some gear so i will hopefully b able to start the journey of getting Da Phat Nerd out of the radio studio and getting Da Phat Nerd into a club, or even better a doof! ;)
In other news, anyone not doing anything this sat night or not going to the snow, i was thinking of having people over for some drinks and things, let me know what people think :D

- been listening to lots of Jane's Addiction
- played with the wacom tablet, love it long time!!!
- added new stuff to redbubble, including the below image
- also started moving all my creative writing which is currently stored on bluelight to redbubble as well....I figure it can't hurt to have that stuff stored in more than one place in case bluelight gets hit by a nuclear server bomb. Or something.
- Tired!
- MCA tomorrow!
- Night!

ok my boss thinks a little too highly of me. i hope this doesn't come across as arrogance but i think i'm not too bad at what i do. however! the project my boss just proposed is just impossible! financial news magazine programmes with a turn-around time of 4 hours per episode? i don't like to promise when i may or may not deliver. i turned it down. no matter how much money they're going to offer.
this is the first project i've ever turned down from my boss.

So early last financial year I asked our business manager what I needed to do to make extra super payments in order to get the governments dollar for dollar matching under the super co-contribution scheme.
"Yep, just send us an email authorising the extra payment and we'll handle it"
Now she's left the company and I ask our accountant for the details I need to put in my tax return.
"Your contributions aren't eligible for the scheme because they're made before tax. It's only payments you make after tax that are eligible. Hope that helps clear things up."
Yeah it helps clear things up, thanks very much, but it would be nice if things had been cleared up WHEN I FUCKING ASKED WHAT I NEEDED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR THE FUCKING SCHEME!!!
She's effectively cost me $5k (times whatever by the time I actually access my super)- not impressed.

My friend Hazy loaned me his drawing tablet while I save up to buy one....I downloaded the driver for it today and have been mucking around with it in photoshop; I think once I get used to using the interface it's gonna be awesome! YAY!!!
I will have another play with it once I get home from gym tonight and if I do anything worth showing to the world I will post it....

| Leaving home |
[13 Jul 2009|07:31pm] |
We're leaving these two guys - Dougall and Dudley - in the capable hands of Swiss Paws Kennels until Friday. They love it there - come home totally exhausted from running through the long grass at that place, instead of ours, which they tend just to curl up in. They'll sleep for days once they're home!
We're off up north for four days, leaving first thing tomorrow. We're spending time with our friends Chris and Henry at their cottage on Little Gull Lake, in the Haliburton Highlands. It's a lovely spot. Remember when I went looking (unsuccesfully) for bears last year? This is the place. I'm hoping for better luck this time.
This video is related only in that it shows the last bit of the drive home here, a journey I make several times a day when I go in to Nanookville. The video is a little over two minutes long and will give you an idea of the countryside around here. At the 1.12 mark you pass our old farmhouse. At 1.48 you swing in to our driveway. At 2.20 you're in our garage. Home. Music is by Moby, playing on the car CD player.

So we went to the lavender farm in Grafton yesterday, an operation I didn't know even existed until recently, and it's almost on my home turf. It's very Provence. It's also situated overlooking the shores of Lake Ontario, which sharp eyes will spot in ones of the images below.
Actually I'm not even sure they grow lavender in Provence but the prospect has a nice ring to it, and I figure it just might be factually accurate.
As for lavender, I have a love-hate thing with it. It's very pretty, and looks stunning growing in stripes of various shades of blue. (Turns out that not all lavender is created equal. Here tt runs the gamut from purple to near-white.) But that smell. I'm not sure whether we're all supposed to like it, but on a scale of 1-10, measured in units of yuckiness, I'd give it about a 9.5!
When I was young, lavender hearts where the thing. They were the cheapest of cheap candies; I didn't care for them at all, but I seem to remember buying them for my mother once at a very young age in some misguided show of affection. I think she threw them away, for they are truly awful. I don't blame her. I wonder if they still sell them.
Anyway, the fields of lavender yesterday were lovely. True, the prevailing colour was more blue than - well, lavender - but that's OK. And it only smelled really bad when you went in the barn where they were selling piles of the dried stuff. They also had lavender pillows, lavender wreaths, lavender cookies, lavender chevre and even lavender-rubbed beef. Yikes! We couldn't stay in there too long though, the assault on our olfactory senses was pretty intense.
But it was a nice day out.

The Man Who Can't Be Moved, The Script |

Ok I have learnt something about myself this morning…… I CAN actually blush…and it can be clearly seen even though I am tan. N and I had a small argument last night….something that doesn't happen very often. He knows how much I hate any sort of attention and steer clear of it…and guess what the intelligent one did to “punish” me. ( click to read )
