And then to pop onto twitter to find one of my favourite authors had tweeted this link: http://dduane.tumblr.com/post/31618277059/singularitytheorem-stop-scrolling-hi-im

Every day, I cannot quite get over the fact I can look out my living room window and see the ocean. Than in 2 minutes I can go from my front doorstep to sandy beach. It's unreal. I always grew up with The Beach being an exotic destination, a real treat. Now, I get to live by one every day. If we ever have to move, it won't ever be the same as When We Lived at the Beach.

Speaking of which, got to go kayaking yesterday for the first time of this season. 'Twas glorious. My muscles ache. I aim to get fitter at this whole kayaking thing. I honestly don't know how I managed to shed all that weight I'd put on in the last few years, and I'm soooo proud to be slipping into size 12 jeans again, but my tummy is still a little soft and flabby for my taste. I need my own gloves and seat for my kayak though. My other aim for this summer is to get ridiculously brown and avoid burning as much as possible.

...I left the laundry on the line. Oops.

I am also considering cutting my hair again. It's really long, and thick, and summer is the time I don't want to fuss about with it. I have a style I'd like to try but am not sure how well it will work with my curly hair. It looks gorgeous with straight hair. I'm just... lazy about straightening my hair all the time.

Watched a few movies recently, and I must say...

The Hurt Locker -- SUCKS. Seriously bad. I wanted to shoot all the characters in that, and, just... horribly, horribly sucky.

From Paris With Love -- YES. Funny, action bull-shit. The oddest pairing, not what I would ever have thought of, but very well played. Also... John Travolta gets a Royale With Cheese.

Prince of Persia -- I am unfamiliar with the source material, but I enjoyed it. It was a good fun adventure with cool combinations of action, snark, and mystic stuff. I Not a role I'm used to Gyllenhaal in but he wasn't bad.

Music...

Kind of in love with Bruno Mars at the moment. His music is quite catchy and his voice is not unpleasant.

Also, Glee. Cannot believe I got sucked into it but DAMN can they sing.

Brooke Fraser, I like her still. There's Something In the Water indeed.

Mumford sons - little lying man also a favourite at the moment.

Oh, I updated my status on Facebook but I guess I never got around to mentioning it here... on the 19th of November was my 3 year anniversary of getting together with Alan. He told me once that if we made 3 years, he would consider making it legal. So... I am now ENGAGED. I don't have a ring yet because of certain financial hiccups, but it will come. Oh yes, it will come. I'm looking at sapphires.

Looking at a medieval/fantasy style wedding. Possibly in a Jan/Feb time of year. Not 2011, obviously.

Anyway.

indeed
I think facebook is crashing
is it working fine for you?
Hananator says:
no
I'm on my last fucking quiz
and it won't fucking load
plus it was having fits over the comments I wanted to make earlier
Sorcha Cierlyn says:
lol I think it's burnt out. I cant even get to the home page, it keeps giving me a connection error
Hananator says:
I'm checking my f-list instead
Sorcha Cierlyn says:
ah, there it goes
Hananator says:
...why has lj forgotton who I am?
I never logout
bloody hell.
Sorcha Cierlyn says:
didn't your hotmail forget you earlier?

...so, yeah, staying logged in seems to be an issue for me lately. Huh.

Baked another set of banana choc chip muffins today. And shortbread biscuits. Joe is supposed to be baking a one-egg choc cake for Heaven's birthday (tomorrow) and I'm doing the icing. They love my butter icing. :D

Daylight savings is fucking with my sleep cycle and I have to remember to start cooking dinner before it starts getting dark. I feel like such a Sim sometimes.

Speaking of Sims, Heaven shelled out for the Sims Life Stories and got me to install in on the computer. Alan hates the game and is leery of becoming a Sims-widow. I am possibly going to be guilty of this. It's just so damned addictive! Must remember self-restraint.

Self restraint is fun... until you drop the key.

And

Understanding is a three-edged sword... our side, their side, & the truth.

I may have fallen in love with this picture of Zachary Quinto. Just a lil smidgeon. Hee.

Need a drink of cranberry juice, and then, I think, some sleep. But first I know I will finish checking my f-list. 'Cause I <3 my f-list.

Fin.
