Moose Musings

10:59am: I have to leave in about fifty mintues for my appointment at the doc's. Once again once I got comfortable I slept just fine, and when I woke up I didn't have a stomachache, but over the past few hours it's steadily been coming back. It sounds like functional pain...but like what is one supposed to do? Is Mum right and keeping busy will make me forget about it? Do I just take regular paracetamol or something? Or is there (hopefully) some sort of special medicine for it? Must remember to ask the doc all these things, because I often forget...I shall write them down.

Anywho, not to bring you all down, here's an interactive meme from missnickers and rayluxuryacht:

I will name 5 fandoms. You tell me what character from that fandom I am most like, then copy and paste this to your journal. If you don't know the fandom, comment on the ones you do know.

1. Back to the Future
2. The Simpsons
3. Family Guy
4. Futurama
5. Drawn Together

I've realised that I mostly enjoy documentary type shows, so that list was a bit difficult to compile! After all George III's Court is neither a fandom or a TV show. Plus the answer would probably be the eccentric woman who never gets let in because she's not wearing the right dress, LOL!

Today is Dad's birthday, but it's not going well with him, what with having been in the hospital yesterday and all. Then this morning Mum had a spazz over something and Dad had to spend a good hour fixing it up. Then he had to go to his GP and he couldn't find all the info he needed or his glasses. I found his glasses for him, fortunately, but he still needs to visit M and Grandpa, go by his school for something and write up two masses! I offered to help him out with the latter, but I don't think he had all the hymns he's going to use written down. He kind of plays it by ear.

And finally he just reminded me that as they're going away on this long trip and having someone rent the place they have to move all the personal stuff...somewhere. The thing is, they don't know where! I think they might be putting a lock on the door of the top room so they can just chuck it all in there, but I'm not sure. Of course, I've just realised that this means I should take all my videos out of my wardrobe and a couple of other things I've been storing there...Dang. I don't even have anywhere to put that stuff.

Right, sent my resume off to that Optomterists (geeze I hope I didn't actually mention that word in the cover letter because I only just looked at how to spell it right...), of course I meant to send it like a week ago, so they've probably all ready filled the position. I hope not though, because that actually wouldn't be a bad job, sure you deal with people all day, but you get a chair to sit on.

Must call actual work as well and see if they have anything...they do say we'll call you, but you never know. Mum also encouraged me to hint to them that if there's any other sort of work that needs doing (aside from taking paperclips out of files) I'd be glad to volunteer. That could work.

I need to cut my fingernails again, those damn things grow so fast...I guess I shouldn't complain, since whenever I see someone with bad fingernails I think "Ewww..." especially when they've got that weird indented finger nail thing going...you know where they seem to curve inwards rather than outwards. It's weird!

Anywho, I'm just babbling now, and I don't wanna be late for this appointment, so I'll sign off for now.

Ta-ta!

7:17pm: Indeed!

I've been waiting for this new book about GIII and his siblings to come into Stanton Library for a week now (it's been in the Recieving area) and finally it said it was there when I checked towards the end of work today. So, I get off the bus on the way home and head on in to the shelf where's it's meant to be aaaand it's not there! It wasn't in the New Books section, or on any of the trolleys, nobody was reading it (yeah, I stalked people to see if anyone had it and they couldn't use the computer to find more detailed information for reasons unknown.

So no book! Humbugs! And I missed the news too, hmpf.

The day hasn't exactly given me the best of luck, this morning I got to work on time only to realise as I was walking towards the building that I'd forgotten my keycard! I need that to get to the floor I work on and into the rooms I have to go into allll time time for my work. Well, sc-rew! I called up Mum who agreed to bring it along, but said I'd have to meet her at Town Hall at a quarter to ten. Townhall is like a ten minute busride from work, so I had to excuse myself and then on my way Mum calls up to say she lost track of time and wasn't going to get into 'til 10! Well, fuck! It's all right for Mum who's on flexi-time and has worked at her office for 10 years to rock on up at 10am, but I can't just leave my office for half an hour!

My supervisor wasn't mad, I'm not sure he noticed I was gone for so long (he's at the back of the room and in between where he sits and I do there's this big pillar), but I ended up taking a half hour lunch (instead of an hour) to compenstate. Hmpf!

Also, I didn't take the boxes over this morning, primarily because I didn't wake up until 7am and it was all ready too late then, I'm thinking I'll have to do it tomorrow evening (when there's nothing good on telly), because I realised I'll have to get up at five if I've got any hope. Stuff that, says I!

Anyway! Here's a cool little game my LJ Pals have been doing, join in the fun! And try and escape the Dungeon of Anonymoose_au, bwahahahaha!



And now the Meme!

Wednesday Mind Hump

1. What are your favorite TV shows? If you can, also tell us the one show you absolutely HATE to miss.

Temptation- A game show, I hate to miss this one!
The Simpsons- Hate missing that too.
Family Guy
Crime Night
Catalyst
Various disaster docos
Mythbusters

2. Who handles the remote control in your household?

In my room, me...in general, Mum.

3. How many remote controls are there in your house? Not counting your childrens' appliances.

Well, I don't have kids :OP but you didn't say not to count my parents so I will. We have...hmmm....9 or 10 I think. Maybe 11, but the Foxtel remote doesn't work anymore so you have to change it manually, pain in the ass.

4. Do you flip through the channels mindlessly, or do you stick with one or two channels?

One or two channels really, I also hate it when my brother's go flipping through channels in adds, I hate missing stuff! Plus adds aren't THAT bad just tune out, dude!

5. Adam Sandler's latest movie is "Click," about a guy who discovers a remote control that works on life. If you could have such a device, how would you put it to use?

I'd pause time when there's a lot of presing stuff to do like cleaning my room ;O) so I could get it all done and not have missed hours and hours. Yay! Fun! :OD Although if I didn't get enough sleep this may be deterimental, although I could pause it on a timer when I go to sleep, so I'd get enough hours. Although that would totally mess up the 24 hour clock...hmmm...scientific interest.

Righto, dinner's ready, I better head off.

Meme Time Bee-yatches...

FOUR FOR FRIDAY

Q1 - Underdogs: One of the teams playing in this weekend's NCAA Men's Division I College Basketball Tournament “Final Four” here in Indianapolis is Virginia's very own George Mason University. Generally speaking, are you the type of person who likes to root for the underdog?

Yeah sometimes...I certainly was when that Croatian dude was playing in the Australian Open Final...Or was he from Crete...damn it's too late for me to remember that or his name, but that guy rocked! I also went for Sebastian Grojean when he got the the Final's at Wimbledon on a Wild Card, that would have been a great win.

Q2 - Immigrants: Do you think employers should face criminal charges for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants?

If they underpay them, yeah...then again that is of course the whole point of hiring illegal immigrants I suspect...but that doesn't make it right. If their country's weren't so piss poor from general lack of care from the wealthy nations there wouldn't be so many illegal immigrants in the first place. Fight the core problem.

Q3 - Wages: As of today, the federal minimum wage here in the U.S. stands at $5.15 per hour. In your opinion, should the minimum wage be raised, and if so, to how much; and if not, why not?

Fuck me, things must be a lot cheaper over there! Here in Australia the minimum wage for a permanent employee is about $12.50. A loaf of decent bread costs about $2.50, so provided that it costs half that much in the US, I suppose it's not as bad as it sounds...But I hear that service staff don't even get that much, which is shitty, because when I go to a resturant I expect the money I pay for food pays for it, the people cooking it and the people serving it, a tip is for good service.

Q4 - Shopping: I'm headed to the grocery store. Is there anything I can get for you?

Kraft Cheese Wedges please...myabe I shoul give you a hundred bucks so you can get me a case...mmmm...cheese....

T.G.I.F

Emotions

1. What song can always make you shed a tear or two when you hear it?

I don't really cry with songs...although Be Not Afraid makes me feel sad (it's a hymn about God always been with you even through the worst).

2. What song can always get your feet tappin' and your hips sawyin' when you hear it?

Any song by the old bands...ah yeah back then music was music none of this screaming, banging on kitchen implements type stuff. Screw that.

3. What movie can always make you cry when you watch it?

Eh, I don't like sad movies...although I'll admit to almost crying at the end of Titanic, but I didn't only because I had my contact lenses in and if I cried I could have lost them, or risked infection from trapped tears.

4. What movie can always make you laugh out loud when you watch it?

Flying High/Airplane! or Spaceballs, gret flicks, great freakin' flicks!

5. What book brought you to tears more than any other that you've read?

Oooh! There was book that made me cry once, but damnit! I can't for the life of me remember what it was...damn...

The Other Friday Five

The Boob Tube, The Silver Screen, & You

1) When you were little what was your favorite TV show?

Before I turned 9 it was Inspector Gadget, after that The Simpsons and Rugrats.

2) What was your favorite movie?

Before I was 13 and saw Back to the Future my favourite movie was probably The Mighty Ducks, yeah I know...

3) What is your favorite TV show currently?

Ooh, toss up between The Simpsons and Family Guy.

4) What is the best movie you have seen so far this year?

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason I rewatched it, great stuff! Heh heh, that Mr. Mark Darcy!

5) If someone was going to make a movie or TV show about your life, who would play you and why?

Oh I never know how to answer this question, it's too hard...I'll play myself 'cause I can't trust anyone else to play me right.

Finally before I go, I'd like to draw your attention to www.typingtest.com, now I took this test and got something like 53 WPM...everyone else on thequestionclub which posted the link got well over 70. Now are they just freaks, or am I really pissweak at typing? I'm going to be working in an office, so I must know! What results did you my LJ Friends get?

Right...Mums telling me to go to bed, so off I go.

Yep, the site was back up again, so I figured what the Hell...although I'm way too low on the self-esteem to hazard the negative one, I really don't see the point of being called annoying by twenty people on my friends list, LOL.

I woke up at 12.30 this afternoon! God damn I've got to stop staying up so late, because it's almost five o'clock and I haven't done anything...I was going to go back home to pick up the remote control for the DVD player I brought over because I'm currently unable to look at any of the special features because I don't have access to 'em and some of these DVDs automatically play with 'Subtitles for the Hearing Impaired' which is really very annoying. Alas, I can hardly be bothered to do so now.

Instead I've turned my mind to dinner, I wonder what can I buy...something different, and I've just had the idea of fish. I haven't had fish in ages and ages, which is bad when you consider I saw this article that suggested that a person have fish three times a week. However, what sort of fish? I don't want fish fingers, my father gets this 'proper' fish but it's pre-lemoned so it tastes like absolute crap. Although it does come out of the freezer section of the supermarket so does it count as real fish? I'm a bit leery of getting fresh fish because I don't know how to cook it probably and I fear food poisoning!

So yes, fish for dinner, but alas the weather has turned, it was fine and sunny this morning, well early afternoon rather, and I seriously considered going swimming at some point (it's always better to go in the late afternoon or early morning), but now it's cloudy enough that I've had to switch the lights on here. But considering I hardly walked at all yesterday and ended up with a back up, I shall have to take my umbrella and go out there and risk it. And catch the correct bus home because crap Tuesday was a pain in the ass.

That's all I've got at the mo....I should leave sooner rather than later...so bye.

'Cause I do! And that would be today after spendng an hour and forty minutes doing my big bro's dirty work...buying envelopes, counting out postcards, stuffing them in envelopes, standing in line, buying stamps and more envelopes, putting on the stamps, filling the big envelopes, standing in line again...

And after all that there's still more I have to send out! Ugh!

Furthermore my mother called up to say that she probably wants to be picked up tonight in the city! Argh! Fuck that shit...I ain't going in, she can catch a bus like a normal person, or my brother Chris can. I'm tired and I'm getting a headache. Bah! Why do these things all have to happen at the same time?! I'm picking up Rui at the airport tomorrow as well, I'm not a frickin' chauffeur you know!

But I've just realisd my little bro is at work and Dad isn't going to do it because he's been busy all day too, so I bet I will have to do it. Fuuuuck. I suppose I could just go to the University library...which might not be that bad. Although the internet doesn't work in there...which is weird 'cause it says it is...

Right now I'm watching the tennis Maria Sharapova is playing...how annoying is that chick's grunting...I think that must be part of her tactic...I certainly wouldn't be able to concentrate on my game with all that noise going on at the end of the court. Seriously, if you were in another room and didn't know what was going in you'd think something seriously X-Rated was going on.

The biggest problem about driving into the city going back to that, is the tolls, I hate paying the toll...I've all ready had to pay that thing this morning...Mum should have called earlier if she wanted me to stay at Newtown...waste of petrol too, which is damn expensive at the mo. I'm not gonna pay for it. :OP

OMG! I've just heard that Brendan Nelson (AKA: The Root of All Educational Evil) is no longer Education Minister...good riddance to putrid rubbish says I! Son of a bitch...although to be honest with you considering this is the Liberal Party I don't hold much hope for the new person being any better. Son of bitches...making Universities slaves to the all-mighty dollar and whatnot...you'll be seeing less talent more money in years to come I bet.

Well, I'm going now to the Library...so I leave you all with this interesting thingy I saw in cloudlessnights's LJ:

Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friend-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character "letter" from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!

My List

1. George McFly
2. Percy Weasley
3. Harry Osborn
4. Ron Weasley
5. Daffy Duck

Righto- I'm OUTTA here!

In other news I appear to have given myself Tennis Elbow...I have no idea how this happened, but this morning when I tried to put a book back on the shelf, a terrible pain went up my arm and I dropped the book and consquently the rest of the books fell off the shelf (luckily not on my head!).

Anyway, I put the books back on the shelf and took my crap out onto the car with no further incidents, but throughout the day whenever I moved my arm the wrong way the pain would go through my arm...and now that I've poked at it, it hurts. (Good work from me there...)

Dear me...this is a bit of a schmoozle, I mean I've got to go to work tomorrow and it involves hauling papers about, which aren't really that heavy, but the boxes are somewhat. And I don't want to say anything because this is what ruined my chances at Stanton Library last year! I don't want to be unemployed again.

Besides, it's possible I just slept on my arm weirdly and it'll clear up tomorrow...at least I hope that's it.

And now I have COMPLAINTS regarding my little bro's treatment of this apartment.

When I got here today he was doing some washing, which is good, but there were two pots sitting on the stove, with old food in them! One of them was actually MOULDY DISGUSTING!

Also, we're out of toilet paper again! This is a pain in the ass, because we're using tissues and it's too expensive to do that! Of course, it's better then the time we had to use Kitchen Paper Towels...people toilet paper is not one of their handy uses. :OP

The thing is my bro goes out to get stuff to eat at the supermarket but he can't get some bloody toilet paper? It's not even heavy to carry! Honestly/

But yeah, it annoys me that the bro makes enough food for six, he can eat a lot, but there's always food going to waste, he didn't even eat the spagetti I left here and now it's gone off!

Damn kid...:OP

Right now I'm trying to download R.E.M's This Is The End of the World, evidentally it's a popular song what with everything that's gone on. I've had it in my head since the Law Revue last Friday, where they did a spoof on it.

Oh wait...here it goes.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring tomorrow, but you wouldn't know it, today it was 26 degrees celicus! That's summer weather people! Go back to your homes and places of business! Global warming is taking us down! It was cloudy all day, big thick black clouds, but damnit, no RAIN!

Meanwhile the Sydney Water workers have finally gone back to work, but not before a pipe in a suburb was splashing out millions and millions of litres of water for 3 days! Geeze, I'm glad we've got water restrictions...I'll show you hosing the driveway!

And from _dracaena_, this kick ass ( Comment Statistics on LJ thing )

Hmmm...well...I feel the HO calling me, so I'm gonna fiddle around with his page some, he needs more icons. :O) (PS Should I stop linking every time I mention him? :O)

8.00pm: I just ate all this cheese on the way home and then ate a whole lot of cocktail frankfurts and I feel like I'm going to explode! What was I thinking? My poor stomach! My poor nerves!

The parentals have gone up the coast again for the long weekend, so I'm here all by myself...:O( I like having the parentals around! Mum tells me I should go up with them, but to be honest with you there's nothing to do! Although I guess if Aunt Weed is home I can see her, since she moved up there we hardly ever see her. :O(

Owww! Oh, it figures that I'd finally be able to sneeze now my nose has irritated me all damn day...and now...ow! My side!

But it's Friday so Strictly Dancincg time and evryone's getting down to the Funk, which I don't understand...but LMAO so guy just did the Worm...STOP Peter Time!

Tomorrow I gotta go to Bondi Junction to order in my jeans, and then later on the evening go pick up someone at the airport, which I'm a bit nervous about, I don't really like driving around strangers I'm afraid I'll do something dumb. Oh nerves...

Seriously I'm getting an image of me puffing on a cigarette...gross... :OP Reminds me of when I worked at Coles, seriously I can understand how my little bro got sucked into smoking, I may have gone there too! :Oo

Well anyway, enough mulling on the bad stuff...the good news....

I'S ON HOLIDAYS!

Yeeha! I'm off 'til August or something! I's cool! :OD Let's get Simmy! ;O)

Man, I started this entry at 8pm and it's almost 11 now! Those Friday Memes' a crazeee!

Oh and bad news :O( I screwed up taping the Time Travel show, I'm so bummed! I looked at the the Foxtel Guide and alas it's not been shown again this week. PORQUE!

Also right now I'm watching Jay Leno and I can't figure out if this person is a woman, a man or a transvesite. It's about some Intern, called Ross, so I assume it could be a dude, but then it could be Rox.

On second thought I think the person is a chick. Which reminds me of Inequality and Power where our lecturer mentioned how nobody can look at a person and ignore their sex and if they can't tell the sex they worry. Frankly it's a bit true...this is really confusing me!

Anyway, I'm gonna surf the net now, ta-ta!

Found on victory_is_mine and it looked fun...


Which Family Guy character are you?

Ah well, at least I can draw...I'm not that stupid though...

Man, I gotta get my ass down to the Blockbuster to get the second part of my little bro's gift...least it close, I don't know when it closes but better to be safe then sorry.

Also I've been sitting down for too long, my back is beginning to hurt again...

When I get back I'm gonna play some Sims 2 I haven't done so for so long and now I've got the Maxis Christmas tree and I want the Baines', the McFlys' and the Pinaza-Schaefers' enjoying to goodness of Christmas. Good stuff.

A lot of my LJ Friends are playing this game where they've put down lines for 25 songs and asked there other LJ friends to say which song it is. This game has reminded me yet again that I'm SO far behind when it comes to music! I don't know any of these modern songs ("Whatever it is you children listen to now a days.") Most of my music knowledge of the 90s is confined to The Corrs and U2 and as for the noughties, I've brought one CD- The Corrs

So I've decided to toss my hat in and have come up with twenty.

1. And why do they always say/No regrets?
2. Early morning April fourth/Shot rings out in the Mephis sky
3. She'll never be like the one before
4. You may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely
5. Forgot all about going to the the Library like she told her old man now
6. I wish that you were my lollipop
7. I can walk, I can talk, do whatever you please
8. When I leave a room/First I gotta grease the door
9. Bleeding heart torn apart/Left on an icy grave
10. I hate a lot of things/I hate a lot of people who are lame
11. All I wanted to do/Is play my guitar and sing (My future friends'll get that one hands down! ;O)
12. The days are changing/ I stay the same/ A solo chello outside the chorus
13. Try to catch me/Break my fall
14. But black roses and Hail Marys/Can't bring back what's been taken from me
15. Holy cow d'you see it last week?
16. Sherief John Stone/Why don't you leave me alone
17. Would the sun shine brighter, if you played a bigger part?
18. There as just one girl I couldn't find/One girl who couldn't be mine
19. But their response it didn't thrill us/They locked the doors and tried to kill us
20. Where do you go/Do you climb into space?

Right that was friggin' difficult since most of my CD's don't come with the lyrics anyway, but do your best people!

(PS. Why has the font shrunk? Is there anyway to fix it or what?!)
