10:54pm: Yes! As I'm sure you can guess from my subject heading I'm at M and Grandpa's house and this afternoon M and I played Canasta.

And I was sooooo close to winning! But alas, M pipped me at the post! LOL, M is always so relieved when she wins! Like she didn't used to beat me constantly for fifteen years. :OP Ah well, I have a chance for revenge tomorrow, which means I gotta keep this update short.

Not that I've got much to say, I did finally get around to changing some of the water in Plushenko the fish's tank. Only problem is the siphon pump thing I got turned out to be too big for my tank and thus didn't work! This is no good because I had to completely wreck the packaging to get it out and I'm pretty sure I didn't save the receipt for it so how am I going to return it? I'm not even sure if I can exchange it because I'm pretty sure it's the smallest one they had. Dang...

But Plushenko seems happy and that's the important thing, I was rather worried that in trying to get the siphon to work I might have startled him too much. But when I left for Scripture class this afternoon he was swimming about happily.

And OMG Scripture class was a shock! First of all I ended up running late because I washed my hair before going and managed to fall down on my time-keeping and second of all when I got there...the teacher who's supposed to be taking the class wasn't there! And she wasn't late...she just...wasn't there! I guess she must have been sick or something, but I had no idea and no way to contact her.

So I ended up taking the class! Fortunately, the actual teacher provided some assistance in keeping the class calm and all that jazz, but what do I know about teaching scripture and talking to children?! I did my best and I guess it wasn't too bad. I'm not sure if they quite got the idea of giving the gifts of love, joy and peace, but eh, those are kind of difficult concepts anyway. Although all this reminds me I need to tell Mum what happened but I need to go to bed now so that'll have to wait until tomorrow, I guess.

Still no luck locating my lunchbox, I checked the car again, but no sign of it and I'm quite certain I didn't leave it at my parents' house. Sniff, that bums me out.

Right, better be off now, I didn't get anywhere near the proper amount of sleep last night and if I don't get at least 8 hours tonight I'll regret it I'm sure.

I don't have my external drive plugged in right now so I'll have to give the Sims Thing a miss for this entry (I know, shocking!)

Goodnight all!

11:13pm: Namely when I got on the bus to head to church after getting the laser hair removal thing done when just as the bus was leaving the kerb there was a shout and a lady in the back had fallen backwards and hit her head on the step that leads to the back seat.

As you can imagine we at the front of the bus had no idea what had happened since the people in back had huddled around the woman to try and see if she'd hurt herself badly and to help her up.

Eventually, they got her up into a seat and we all saw she was bleeding from both her arm and the back of the head. Shit. Someone apparently had a first aid kit on them - or maybe the woman herself did since she looked like a bushwalker or something - and got out a bandage while the bus driver looked confused about what to do.

He ended up getting an incident report form to fill out, while I had rendered some assistant by providing nail scissors to cut the bandage. By this time it had been nearly ten minutes since the bus was meant to leave and time went on with no indication of when the bus was going to leave. In all honesty, considering the bleeding the lady probably should have gone to hospital, or at least to a doctor but she didn't seem to want to.

In the end the next bus showed up and I along with a number of other people decided to catch it since the driver was still working on the form, and I did have to make sure to get to church on time after what happened last week!

So, yeah that was my adventure. :OP

As for today...well, not a lot was done, although I got that Gumpton stuff the other day and I tried to see how it'd work on my shower and what do you know, it cleaned up fabulously! The pot of the stuff I had at the apartment must have been a dudd because it didn't do shit, honestly.

Aside from that, I spent a fair amount of time this evening continuing to search for a solution to my Wrist Band woes, I thought I had it covered when I found a program that runs on Windows that is pretty much like a tablet. It does indeed work and you can download apps for it - I even downloaded the particular app for the Wrist Band but alas, problems. The program doesn't allow one to use the computer's bluetooth, so I can't synch with the damn thing. Honestly, the internet tells me that maybe I could get the program to connect to Bluetooth if I have a dongle, but I'm thinking I should just try and see if Dad's spare phone will be available to me.

On that note I really must head off now, but before I do, a meme or two!

Saturday 9

:Here I Go Again (1982):

1) This song originally appeared on Whitesnake's Saints and Sinners album. Are you feeling more saintly or sinful this morning? Well, it's not morning and I guess I'm feeling a bit sinful since i haven't finished cleaning up my flat, daaang.

2) Whitesnake was formed by Brit David Coverdale, who now lives in Lake Tahoe, NV. Have you ever wanted to relocate to another country? Well, I did want to go and live in New York for the longest time, however I'm a family orientated person so I'm not sure I'd do too well so far away from them.

3) In the song, Coverdale says he "was born to walk alone." Do you enjoy time on your own? Or do you quickly get bored or lonely? Nope, I'm a real loner, although I do connect through the internet, good times, good times.

4) During the band's 1980s heyday, Coverdale was known for his skintight leather pants. Do you own leather pants or slacks? Ha ha, no. I just feel like in weather like Australia's they'd just end up horribly uncomfortable.

5) What about snakeskin? Definitely not!

6) It's estimated that 20,000 people die of snake bite every year. Approximately 1,000 suffer fatal spider bites. Less than 50 are killed each year by sharks. Considering sharks, spiders and snakes, which do you find scariest? I wonder what percentage of those took place in Australia! To answer the question I'd say spiders because they're the ones that most often pop up in my life, I don't think I've ever seen snakes and sharks except in a zoo or aquarium.

7) In 1982, when this song was popular, the world lost Princess Grace of Monaco. Before she became a royal, she was film star Grace Kelly. Have you ever seen a Grace Kelly movie? Nope, old movies aren't really my style.

8) Speaking of movies, the top-grossing film of 1982 was ET: The Extra Terrestrial. Have you seen it? Nope, not all the way through. It's just not really my bag to be honest.

9) Random question: How many timepieces will you have to reset when we spring ahead this weekend? Well, we're falling back...but not for a few more weeks not, I hope...And to answer the question...8 I think.

And I've really been slacking on the Sunday Memes! I'll have to work on catching up with those.

10:39pm: Yes, indeed! I managed to find a copy of The Tales of Monkey Island at EB Games in North Sydney today for $9.95! Scoooore! I've just started playing and I've all ready managed to solve a few puzzles! All without having to use the hints screen, double scooore.

Also I got to the gym where I did the weight lifting workout, although I keep forgetting that Tuesday is the day when this guy comes and uses the upper body ergometre for like an hour, which means I can't use it. Whoops, that's two weeks I've missed out on now, fail me. But hey, I got swimming in and everything.

Although, I hope I haven't been too ambitious moving up to the 6kg weights, because this evening while bending over to empty my parents' garbage bin I had a bit of a back spasm! Man, I better be careful. I've thrown my back out before and no way do I want to go there again!

Now, I'm here watching Le Tour with my mother, although I've heard most unfortunate news, my favourite team is Euskatel-Escuakd, which is a Spainnish and alas it hasn't beeen left untouched by the finicial crisis, if a new sponsor doesn't step forward the team will break up! As Mum pointed out even if they do get a new sponsor, they'll probably be a name change. Well, shit, that sucks, there's not another team in Le Tour with such a cool name.

And that's pretry much all I have to say for today, although I didn't wake up until almost noon! So I can safely say I've caught up on my zzzs, yay!

Oh! Before I go though, I must mention something surprising I learned yesterday, Andy Murray isn't the first Brit to have won Wimbledon since the 30s, a woman Virginia Wade won in 1977! How rude for no-one to have mentioned that! Hmpf.

For now, goodnight!

10:12pm: My mother watched A Room With A View which was on the ABC tonight - we did that book in English at High School and watched the movie (which was a good thing because I never actually finished the book and hence would not have been able to pass the test otherwise), I was busy working on the NaNo, but I went down for ice cream during the ending scenes and it was total 'let's get it on' French movie on the SBS stuff! I remember the scene where all the guys jump in the lake naked, but I didn't recall that.

Of course having checked the Wikipedia page I realise why, it was a new adaption, from the guy who adapted Pride & Prejudice starring our own Colin Firth. Can't say he took such liberties with that as he did with this. Room With A View was written in 1908, when books didn't have sex scenes...well not respectable ones that is.

Anywho, I'm rambling...it's bed time, so I shall post my NaNo Wordcount and hit the hay.

30,450 / 50,000 (60.9%)

Go me! Although like I might have mentioned before I think I'm going to run out of story before I get to 50,000, I may have to pad it out. This will definitely make editing harder, since I want to put it up as my first lenghty BTTF fanfic. But eh, who knows, the padding I stick in might turn out to be worth keeping!

Anywho, good luck fellow NanNoers!

Goodnight!
