Evil & Hate

I took this pic while I was sitting on the couch, bored out of my mind as Nemo was getting trimmed.. or well I was playing with the camera wishing I knew how to use it betterer.. when I twisted the lens all the way out and of course it went out of focus as you can see.. and what I saw staring back at me was some evil looking face in the plant.. so I snapped the pic to and hoped for once it would actually take a pic of what I actually saw.. and it actually did.. can you see the evil looking face in the plant.. the plant is the green blob incase you are wondering lol
To be honest I am rather proud of my photography skills on that one *big smile*

Wow. This week has really sped away from me.. tomorrow Emma and I head off to the land of yanks and we shall conquer all! Ok. well maybe not but we will have much fun.. we have many things planned.. I would like to have it more planned.. but yeah I guess some of the fun is to not plan so much.. we shall see.. I am sure it will all work out in the end.. afterall we aren't gone for that long.. so at least we will be able to have fun filled days with little sleep.. I can sleep when I get home.. not so much the case for Emma though.. just as well she is a tough cookie... monster! I am looking forward to going but not the flight.. coz really who likes flying? not me.. to say the least.. the best flight I ever had was going from New Zealand to Australia.. I fell asleep before take off and woke up just before we started to descend.. nice timing.. but I did miss out on foodage so I was a tad hungry! but at least it only felt like I had a 20min flight lol bonus!

So what has happened this week.. well Tuesday night Nemo got trimmed.. which didn't make him a very happy chappy.. he doesn't much like it.. but afterwards he was very happy coz mops & pops was here to comfort him in his time of need and give him candy! Candy fixes everything! If only we could stop wars by handing out candy.. wouldn't that be grand? I think so.

Wednesday I gave Nemo a bath.. which resulted in him giving me deadly looks afterwards.. it was all highly amusing! I often wonder what he is thinking when he looks at me with his devil spawn eyes.. crazy dog he is.. you can really tell he is Emma's lol

Oh yes.. Tuesday and Wednesday.. I got to have cold showers.. yep.. so very nice.. once again the water was stuffed up.. Tuesday we send an email and you would think coz its a water issue they would get straight onto it.. but no.. they still hadn't done anything by lunchtime Wednesday and well I jumped in the shower.. it started out warm and I got all lathered up when it once again took a turn for the worst and I had to rinse off with ice cold water! not fun people.. not fun! So I finished up, got dressed.. jumped online and told Emma and she emailed the head office directly.. and within the next 2 hours it was all cleared up.. and they actually sent someone around to fix the elements.. and I swear he only replaced the knobs coz he was too scared to leave the apartment without actually physically fixing/replacing something.. coz I'm not a very nice person at the best of times.. but 2 days of cold showers makes me the ice queen! lol

Oh yes and talk about karma.. so we always have trouble with our neighbours leaving shit in the door to make sure it doesn't lock at night.. coz they are just simply wankers.. and well yesterday the door wouldn't stay unlocked.. it was so funny to hear them banging and yelling and carrying on outside coz they couldn't get it.. and call me petty I don't care but I got great pleasure in closing the door when they hooked it to stay open.. I even did it when I saw them running towards me and then just looked at them through the window as I continued to walk up the stairs.. petty? maybe... satsified? hell yes! I hate them and just wish there was a way that they would piss off. Hate is a strong word.. and yes when I use it here I really do mean it.. to all its extent. *nods*

Well that will be all for now.. I am off tomorrow and back in 10 days and I am sure I will have loads to report and many pics to show.. until then..

oh my...

....freaken gawd!
I had to touch Emma's eyeball.. yes you read correctly.. EYEBALL! it was kinda slimy!
I guess now you are left wondering why I was touching her eyeball.. well you see we were out walking Nems and all of a sudden her eye started to hurt.. so I took a look in.. couldn't see nuffin so continued walking.. but Emma continued to complain and made me have another look.. which was just as well for her coz I did actually see a Nemo hair.. usually I am real shit at seeing that sort of thing and always wonder why Emma bothers to ask me to have a look.. well anyways.. I looked! I saw.. and then I had to remove the hair.. which isnt an easy task when you also have a contact to contend with! AND most of the hair was under the contact too! but after several rubs of my finger on the eye *shudder* I managed to remove it and we continued on our walk.. me shuddering and Emma's eye watering like a leaky tap.. ahh what a Sunday event!

So yes.. Sunday was the day.. Sunday is a pretty slow day with nothing being open at all and well that makes for a real good excuse to just do nothing at all.. although sometimes I really just wanna do something and tearing my hair out just doesn't cut it! I made garlic bread and muffins.. the garlic bread was nice but the muffins were.. not up to my usual high standard and it pissed me off and rightfully so! Plus I was all moody from some asshat neighbour playing doof doof music all night and then the ones directly behind the bedroom wall being noisy as all hell.. 4am we kinda gave up sleeping and just stayed in bed chatting.. which was nice in itself.. Nemo of course kept sleeping like a good lad.

Speaking of Nemo and sleeping.. Saturday morning around 4:30ish.. we hear this long kinda howly thing.. actually it sounded more like the noise you would make if you were pretending to be a ghost to try and scare someone.. well that noise is what came out of Nemo and nicely awoke Emma and I.. it was pretty funny.. we went back to sleep pretty quickly though lol Nemo is such a funny bugger when he sleeps!

Umm what else have I been up to? hmm well we.. now by we I mean Emma.. went and set up a new steering wheel and pc game for her dad.. while doing so we discovered that the days of plug and play are actually gone.. these days you have to update this and that and then this and that some more! it is pure crazy.. but we got there in the end and it was well worth it to watch Emma crash.. hardcore.. and then Emma's dad crashed.. even more hardcore! Totally rolled it! Awesomeness! I didn't get a turn.. maybe oneday but yesterday was not that day. It actually looked like a trickly sorta car game to be honest.. but yeah its all good.

5 days to go!

Camera Shy!

Is exactly what Nemo is.. I don't think I have ever met a dog who hates his photo being taken as much as Nemo does. He can be doing something cute and as soon as he sees you whip out a camera.. he stops or he moves or as we found out last night.. grumbles and does a crazy little bark until you stop.. and Emma being Emma just doesn't know how to stop and keeps taking photos coz well she just loves doing such things. Here is a pic of Nemo take refuge on me.. trying to escape the camera.. but as you can clearly see its not working coz Emma keeps on going.. & how big does my nose look in this pic? seriously HUGE! not cool! lol Oh and incase you are wondering.. he is yawning.. I would like to say he was telling Emma off.. but that would be a lie.. but it does look like he is giving her a good telling off! lolSo once again Friday has rolled around.. gotta love Fridays.. being the end of the week in all.. and next Friday, Emma and I will be in Boston dining on more than likely a Friday's Burger! oh hell yeah thats the life I say.. its been since I lived in Melbourne that I have had a Friday's burger.. mmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Awesomeness! I am actually starting to get quite excited about the trip.. I know I am a bit of a delayed reaction kinda girl but it is still a week away before we leave.. and the flight.. I am not looking forward to that.. but I am sure it will all be well.. and hopefully we get some decent airplane food.. as crazy as it sounds.. I actually do like airplane food.. maybe its coz of the whole individually wrapped things.. coming so neatly.. and sometimes just bite sized.. I am a HUGE fan of everything bite sized.. if its bite sized I will love it.. unless its something totally gross.. like Kalles Kaviar.. doesn't matter how many times I try that stuff I still can't take a liking to it.. but hey at least I have given it a try.. I'm always willing to try things a couple of times just to make sure I really don't like it lol

Today is actually a very bright blue day.. not overly warm.. but its not raining so that is at least something. Nemo is snoozingo n the couch.. his spot on the couch coz he is a good boy like that. Its pretty silent in here apart from the clanking of me typing.. I don't have music going coz then I get carried away and always forget to do washing.. which is what I am doing and in 10mins I have to head on down to stick the last load on.. o fun!

So now on that note I shall leave you with a lovely pic of my dial that expresses exactly how I feel about doing washing!! Gosh I really do have some delightful faces huh? lol

7 days to go!

TiredTwins!

I call this...

BABEWATCH!!

and this...

CHEESE!!

There you go Emma.. sorry I forgot all about posting these so very spunky pics of yours truly.. really how could I have forgotten with how tasty I look in them aye? lol

10 days to go!

Once again Emma is calling me a bad little banana boat for not having done a blog in ages.. its not quite a week so really what is she complaining about?

My recap of the week past.. well really nothing exciting to report.. the weekend came and went and I really don't know what all the fuss is about weekends.. really they are just not that fun! We were going to make the trip into Lund to see WALL·E in English but when I checked the website all the really good seats were taken.. & I simply just hate having to sit on the edges.. not cool.. so maybe we will catch it when we are in the states.. or maybe we will just buy the dvd and head over to the parentals when we return and have our own cinema evening on their nice big plasma screen.. we will see how things turn out..

Yesterday our spunky new threadless t-shirts arrived so today I am looking ever so spunky in my 'Do-Re-Mi-Quack' tee! Yes I know you want it.. coz it is simply awesome! I think threadless is going to be my main t-shirt source.. seeing as though the selection here in Sweden is not too crash hot.. threadless is actually cheaper too.. bonus! lol

I haven't felt all that good this week.. yesterday I was kinda dizzy and sickly feeling.. today I am feeling a little better.. so tomorrow I should be at the top of my game.. whichever game that is! Maybe its just the change in weather.. its starting to get colder.. brrrr lol all is good in the hood.. we have our heating elements turned on and thats all we can do.

Ok that is really all I gots.. until next time.. hopefully sooner rather than later.. but at least after I have been to the states I will have loads of stuffs to say and show off..

10 days to go!

Time Will Tell.

Ok so I vented a little on my previous post and I feel betterer.. and thats the point of venting right? Ahh lets see.. well not much happens.. it has meant to rain all week but we have been pretty lucky and it hasn't.. that is until I thought that and looked out the window to discover that it is infact pissing down.. I guess it was only a matter of time huh? and what does it matter I am indoors without a leaky roof. YaY4Me!

A bit of sadness for me.. my threadless T-shirts still have not arrived.. but there is still 2 days of the week left so fingers crossed! Sadder news for me.. Emma's new spunky camper shoes arrived today.. I am so jealous! & something creepy.. just as I typed that the Tegan & Sara - So Jealous song came on... creeepy.. but very good song I must say lol so anyways yeah her shoes arrived and it was a rather funny episode..

..door buzzes.. Nemo rushes to the door barking and growling.. I open the door.. Nemo sees a man.. continues to growl and goes straight for him not only wagging his tail but his whole ass! I pull Nemo back in as the man is laughing at him.. Nemo goes and has a drink coz really when one gets excited one must drink.. I speak english to the man and he gets all tongue tied and doesn't know what to say.. it really was highly amusing.. we finally get the transaction all done after some tongue tied and laughing moments and then the man drops the piece of paper I had to sign as he is about to leave.. he picks it up and looks at me and manages to get out.. "one of those days" before laughing once more and taking off down the stairs.. ahh good times! Its always fun to get funny tongue tied courier delivery men.. it makes me wonder if that happens to my brother.. being a courier himself. lol

But yes.. can I have something delivered everyday coz then I would have something funny happen everyday.. unless it was always the same person.. then it would just become yet another little routine.. which you know what.. it would be coz this would be his area.. hmm maybe not so fun then.

A little more sadness to add.. we had a couple of deaths yesterday.. one of our coloured fish and our shrimp died.. it was a sad moment.. but at the end of the day what can ya do.. when its ya time its ya time.. and sometimes when its not your time it can accidentally become your time.. as Sal nearly found out when Emma tried to decapitate him.. twice I might add! lol ahh fun times! He survived so all is well in the world.. or well in his world anyways.. we are still yet to find out if we are gonna be devoured by a black hole.. time will tell..

crApple!

I am indeed nearly about ready to jump on board and buckle up the I hate Apple bandwagon! Seriously. I don't think I could be more serious. I have never been a fan of iTunes and always put off getting an iPod purely coz I didn't want to have to use iTunes but then Emma got the iPhone so we kinda had to get iTunes to be able to do anything with the iPhone.. so it hasn't helped that now that I am a user of iTunes I hate it even more than before I was a user! Today has totally taken the cake tho.. so we do the update coz.. really you would think that not too much could possibly go wrong with an update.. ok so I should have known betterer.. but I upgraded iTunes to 8 to have my music library flucked over.. it stuffed up album art so I had to spend time fixing that up... but the worst thing was that over half of the music could not be located.. so I had to click on each song and locate it manually.. yes manually! Now you may ask why did I not just delete the music and re-add it all.. well that would be coz I thought it would be less work to just do the tracks.. and before I realised just how much had actually stuffed up I was already really invested in it so I figured I may as well carry on coz deleting and re-adding at that point would take even more time and I would have to go and fix all the album art all over again.. which I might add I have had to do a few too many times since installing iTunes in only July this year.. sad sad state of affairs!

So anyways.. I get iTunes fixed up and start having a loook around it at the so called coolness that makes it deserve the whole point for the upgrade.. only to be yet again disappointed by it.. quite frankly it was just as poo as usual and it seemed slower but that may have been coz of the whole thumbnail thing.. so that shouldn't really be an issue now coz its already loaded in memory as such.. and plus I prolly wont keep it on that view anyways so that really is not such a big deal. As for the big hype they put into the Genius side of iTunes.. well *shrugs* I don't think much of it.. but yeah as I was saying I get it all fixed up and decide to head over to Gizmodo for a relaxing read of geeky news.. and the first thing I am confronted with it the headline...

"iTunes 8 Causing Huge Problems, BSOD for Vista Users"

Now luckily there was no device on hand to plug in coz that apparently is what makes it go from running aok to not.. so now there will be no plugging in of anything until there is a fix.. coz I don't want to have to fix up the music yet a.g.a.i.n!

They say to stop the BSoD you should downgrade and do a clean install of 7.7.. which means... I would have to deal with fixing up the music.. so you can understand why I wanna try and hold off and wait for a solution. It would be nice if it happened quickly and then we can go on to having to see if the new software update for the iPhone fixes all the stupid problems there.. but that really is a whole new issue and rant.. which I wont bore you with.. but just know I am about ready to jump..

"iTunes is Genius." I beg to differ.

What a beaut!

Well it is Monday again.. a very fogging Monday at that.. so foggy in fact that by the time I got home from my morning walk with Nemo I was all dewy and wet and so was Nemo! It wasn't cold at least.. it seems to be ever so muggy lately.. if I didn't know better I would think that it was earthquake weather.. but its not so its all good. It was meant to rain all day today.. but it hasn't.. not that I am complaining but yeah I wish the weather would make up its mind and that the weatherpeoples would actually get it right.. I guess thats too much to ask right?

The weekends weather wasn't much better.. hot, muggy and wet but at least I got to eat cake.. carrot cake.. cupcake.. sandwich cake! Mmmm pure goodness! The only thing that I made was the cupcakes.. with Emma's help and they were nice.. of course but I didn't get any with the frosting on coz by that stage I was over the whole cupcake thing lol

The parentals did however get us 3 big bags of candy and one bag being that of m&m's but sadly not of the peanut variety which are my fave.. but any m&m's are so very fab! Mmm just thinking about them makes me wanna make my way to the fridge and break open the bag.. but I wont.. I want to enjoy them with Emma while watching something great.. possibly WALL·E

Well I shall leave things here with a big I hate iTunes!! and a really pretty pic that Emma took of me.. its just so beaut yeah?

Happy Alone

The hours blend into days and the days blend into weeks and the weeks blend into months and of course the months blend into years and soon enough it will be 2009 and I am still yet to get used to 2008. Why is it when you are a kid.. time goes SO slow and when you are older it goes by SO fast? It really doesn't feel like long enough ago that I was happy about the sunshine coming and waking up in the morning and being able to walk in light instead of darkness.. now its back to the darkness.. at least by the time I arrive home from the walk its light but still.. its so dark and makes me feel like I haven't slept enough when I wake up and its all dark! Dark times ahead. Then darker times and then next thing bloody christmas is pounding on the door again! Christmas is such a chaotic time of year and I can't stand it.

Another thing I can't stand is going a whole week with getting NO mail at all.. not even a single bill.. no junk mail.. no nothing! So sad! Oh wait.. we got the stupid bloody local newspaper thingo that i don't read and I don't actually think Emma reads it either.. so that doesn't really count. I was hoping that my new tees from threadless had arrived.. but sadly that did not happen. Really I should have known it would have been too good to be true that they would arrive this week but I just wanted something exciting to happen! Nothing exciting seems to happen at all at the moment and it is very depressing.

This morning Nemo walked into the coffee table.. it was highly amusing but not exciting and he looked at me like it was all my fault.. which of course made me laugh even more.. I guess he really is getting old.. and grumpier coz by golly his growls are getting more and more and louder and louder too! On that note maybe I should take the grumpy fella for a walk.

My song of the moment...'Happy Alone' by 'Earlimart'

1979

So I am looking through the countless pics that Emma takes and I come across this one of yours truly and can't help but think how cool it is that there is a pic of me with the number 1979.. considering that is the year I was born.. so I figure its good enough to share so here it is!

Chocolately Goodness!

The application...

& now here I am terrified at my own reflection!!

Afterwards though I smelt really good.. chocolately good!!

Skånes Djurpark

On Saturday we headed off to the zoo for the day. It was a beautiful day.. a little long.. a little warm.. a little cold.. but all in all it was a nice day.
Emma's dad and brother went in with the wolves.. they came out alive but a little sunburnt.. I guess coming out sunburnt is much much betterer than coming out with missing limbs! lol
We ate some very fine food.. which didn#t take long to come.. ok it was crap and took ages but when you are hungry and theres nothing else what can one do? Just shut up and eat thats what! There were many enjoyable moments of the day.. like touching the snout of a piggy and Emma getting her finger nipped by the same piggy lol. The crazy mummy hog who didn't like her penmates babies and would chase them and try to eat them.. at one point a baby got tossed into the air.. it was nuts! There was a big wasp that was devouring a smaller wasp.. it was kinda on the interesting side to stand there and watch it getting eating.. in a gross sorta way lol but then all of a sudden it got shy and flew off before it had finished its meal.. rude! Well anyways if you wanna see some pics then head here! --->> Pics in Bebo :-)
