1. DUDE, I AM SO HUNGRY. SO. HUNGRY. I mean, noldoparma and I had dinner at NYDC, which usually involves HUGE AMOUNTS OF PASTA AND ICE-CREAM MUDPIES, which it did - my baked pasta came with TONS of cheese and Italian ham and mushrooms, and our mudpie supposedly had Bailey's in it (couldn't taste any of the alcohol, wtf). So I shouldn't be hungry? Oh, except that dinner was... maybe eight hours ago now? *cries* But I can't eat or even drink milk because I'm supposed to run to the doctor for a routine blood test tomorrow so I have to fast. ARRRGGH.

2. Why I just don't GO TO BED so I can sleep away the hunger is beyond me.

3. Oh I know. It's a little something called FLAIL. *rolls eyes* Seriously. I ended up watching Meryl's entire interview on Inside The Actor's Studio, which I'm pretty sure I've watched before, but hey. Always good to relive the awesome. This part is my favourite - she talks about how she had a nervous breakdown when her Irish accent coach was on set ALL THE TIME for Dancing At Lughnasa (which, randomly, I kind of half-watched in a Malaysian hotel room a few years ago at 3am in the morning) - 3:28 ftw, "I didn't know why I existed". LMAO. And her bitching about not being able to remember her lines, which she NEVER DID... until menopause hit. XD Also, OMG. IRISH JIG AT 6:10 FOR THE EPIC WIN. Then the QUIZ. I love the quiz. (7:54 for her daughter's favourite word. XD)

4. So I've been trying to restrain myself from going to see Mamma Mia for the FIFTH time in cinemas - and then I discover this! Such a GOOD copy of the movie online, considering that the DVD isn't out yet! SQUEE. Those who haven't seen it can go watch it noooooow.

5. Randomly, I have stupid little zits all over my face because I missed my facial a while back because of work. ARGH. Must my job destroy even my skin!?!? *cries*

6. Watched Burn After Reading today - not one of the Coens' best, I must say. The cast was brilliant though. Especially Brad Pitt. I don't think I've ever seen him been quite so out-and-out spazzy. As a commentary on stupid people doing ridiculously stupid things, I guess the movie worked. But it didn't work quite as well as, say, Fargo, which certainly had that as one of its underlying themes.

7. Then, HMV with noldoparma and her brother! I bought the first season of 30 Rock on DVD, FINALLY. XD And also Falling In Love, because... well, it might be a lesser entry in both their canons, but it's Streep and De Niro. Got to be worth a watch, right?

8. I was talking to alexia88 about XF and the dodgy fanfic I wrote back in the day. Like, from FOWLEY'S POV, ZOMG. See here. I was kind of horrified to realise that I wrote that in 1999. NINE YEARS AGO, OMG! *cries*

9. Finally. I have an icon meme I've been meaning to do. I snagged it from someone but never had time to do it, then passed it to lanafromoz who ended up doing it before I did, WTF. So I have to get caught up:

Look at your userpics list. If you have fewer than twenty icons, post them all. If you have between twenty and fifty icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one.

List them on your journal and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, the keywords you use and what significance it has.

10. Phew, that took ages. It's now 5.30 in the morning. O_O I was supposed to yoga tomorrow, but think I'll have to pass, since I have to run to the doctor's, put in a few hours at work, and then I REALLY want to see Alan Rickman in Bottle Shock and I can't imagine watching a 9.30pm show after a 6pm yoga class. D: God. Need to stop being so lazy and sleeping at such faily hours. Never going to happen though. *cries*

1. You know you're addicted to LJ when you haven't posted in... what, a day? And even then, it feels like forever. I'm behind on email and comments and posting, I know, but my internet connection at home has been screwed up for a while. Two nights ago, it wouldn't log onto the internet for a heart-stopping hour (INORITE!), by which time it was late even for ME, and then yesterday EVERYTHING worked except LJ. ASKLJDALDJLA.

2. I was so tired, anyway, from sleeping next to no hours over the last week, that I went and caught up on a bunch of sleep. So much so that I only got up at 2.30pm today. And only because I got google-pinged by weazel_luv.

3. You know why? EVITA PICTURES, ZOMG!!! Oh god. I want to be in Sacramento SO BAD. In other news, I have spent the last two hours making five billion icons from four photographs. If that isn't sad, I'm not sure WHAT is. :P

4. Anyway. Yesterday was... kind of a sobering day. It was the last day for one of my best friends at work - and geez, she's only the one who trained and taught me everything I know. So we had the requisite rounds of celebration: a big lunch out, a tea party that took up the rest of the working day... as befits the sadness that is both our lives, however, and surprisingly fitting given how we spent so much of the last six years, we wound up staying at the office later than everyone else. She had work to finish (SHE's CRAZY - ON HER LAST DAY?!) and stuff to clean out, and I didn't have any plans so hung around to wait and take her out for one last dinner. We left at close to 10pm (!!!), and wound up eating all manner of unhealthy things at Chomp Chomp (mmmm, char kway teow and oyster omelette and a glass of lime juice LARGER THAN MY HEAD), then having a huge rum-and-raisin ice-cream mudpie at a teenybopper hangout nearby. I'll miss her so so much - and it's ridiculously sad, because now I am officially the OLDEST person in the desk. Well, in terms of number of years stuck in the same place, not age. (She was there a month before me.) ARGH, WTF.

5. Only upside? She's going up to New York for her masters. I'LL SEE HER IN JANUARY. :D

6. Lots and LOTS of birthdays today! :D



7. I'm so amused by all the pretty on this entry because of birthdays. XD

8. Oh, also! Happy birthday, Singapore. DUH. Totally forgot. ;P We turn... (oh god I had to check) 43 years old today. Clearly I'm not going to be anywhere NEAR where the crazy crowds and my brother will be. He's actually marching in the parade this year - leading a contingent, if I'm not mistaken. I think I'll just go book-shopping and lazing around instead. MUCH preferable.

9. Since I haven't posted in SUCH ages, a meme! Snagged from curtains: ( one word at a time )

10. Pia Douwes!! ♥ lfae, thank you SO MUCH for the songs. SHE IS SO AWESOME. AND SO SASSY. And she sings all these songs I KNOW, except in a totally different language. *weeps from the awesome*

11. It's RAINING. Really hard, and god. I love it. The sound, the feel, the smell of it. ♥

I was tagged by lfae! This is SUCH a fab meme and so fun to do - I've tagged people, but ALL of you should give it a go. ;)

Create an image of nine things you currently really like, explain the things, and tag six others so they can share some inspiration and positive vibes too. - ETA: I cheated and made it nine things I REALLY love, not just currently... or I'd have a rather different meme result, like Julia Murney, Idina Menzel, Julia Murney, Wicked, Julia Murney etc...!! ;)
