Because It’s Better Out Than In

He’s a dork. He’s too academic. He looks like a dentist. Despite my vote in the opposite direction last November, I think K-Rudd is doing a great job of being Prime Minister.

For all you foreigners, I bet the leader of your country can’t do THIS (Americans: you needn’t bother trying to beat our leader):

Translation:

Yeah I know. Two posts in one day and all that. But I just came across this and couldn’t resist sharing:

Woe blog. It has been suffering lately.

I’ll save you the whole I’m so exhausted and busy with work speech. Maybe I just don’t notice the simple things anymore that make for great blogging. Or quirky at least. I’ve lost my quirk. My spunk.

I went crazy at M.A.C last week (with thanks to all the girlies who left make-up tips last week)… $180 got me a fantastic foundation, lip gloss, blush, eye shadow and some face creams. I’m one of those girls who goes to the counter, admits to knowing bugger all about makeup and lets the assistant make you over. I think they love the fact you know nothing - let’s them feel more creative or important. Or both.

I bought a new dress. And I got my hair dyed again. So I ought to be looking mighty damn fine.

Ian Thorpe was dining at the table next to us while I was out here on Friday night. The DJ was popular amongst my group by being the one to have the nerve to approach Ian for a photo. Do not ask why The DJ was there. Don’t have the energy to get into that story…

Anyway, since I’m so boring and all, I’ll leave you with this. Unless you were so bored that you didn’t even make it this far….

While I was purchasing tickets online recently I discovered just how entertaining security words can be:

I also realised just how unrecognisable some of the supposed words are:

“What do you do for work?”

“You know those annoying words you have to type in when buying stuff over the net?”

“Yeah…”

“Well the guy that makes those up - I’m THAT guy”

End of conversation.

So that last post was popular.

I can’t help it if life has been a little less than ordinary of late.
