Lady K's contribution to world affairs

This is not my wonderful creative genius shining through, but my sister's:

"I have to have a Tupperware party. Its a long stpry (sic), I'm not going into it. However, I need to rebel against it in my own little way, so I constructed an invitation about gender based consumption and guilt marketing but thought it might be a little harsh. Then, in a rare sober moment, I started to think of taglines for Tupperware. Here are a few, you can join in the fun:

- Tupperware. Just Seal It.

- Got a secret? Tupperware. The only airtight seal with a lifetime guarantee.*

and my personal favourite:

- Tupperware and How to Win Friends and Influence People. See mutual exclusivity live and in techni-colour.

Anyway. So as I was thinking of these I thought I missed my blog, then I thought I should just get you or Zosia to post them on my behalf. But I think this is a happy compromise.

*This works for Swine Flu instead of secrets but I think the colour will date."

If you like, K, you could join up as a member of my blog and just add a post or two when the mood takes you. It's llike having your own blog but without the responsibility. (Which I think might suit you) ;)

Quick movie review

I saw 'The Hangover' last night and it was fantastic!
Truly excellent and I know that it was good because I spotted a juxtaposition or two in there and if there are techniques like that in a film, it's clearly something worth studying in an English lesson.

That said, it might not be something for the faint hearted. There's a lot of swearing, a few car crashes, some strippers and everything else you'd expect in Vegas. (and a bit more) But there are are some excellent lines, the actors do a great job and you really believe all of what's going on

I heartily recommend it. Four stars. :)

I can't seem to post the actual video on here, but if you follow this link:

there's a quick preview.

Customer of the day #8

Goes to...



The little boy who decided to do star jumps in the doorway of the ladies' toilets.

You know that feeling you get when something has taken over your mind and you just know that you have to blog about it? Well, I don't seem to have that at the moment.

Yippee

So it looks like I'l be getting my computer back soon. Yay! We found a place who'll fit it with a new hard drive and retrieve my data and put in all the updates that I have so far been too lazy to put in myself. Yay!

In the meantime I'm making do with the uni computers and I can't say that I like the keyboards at all. They're all just so clunky! I'm constatly re-typing things. Bah.

Anyway, can't stay for long today because I have a History tut to go to. Bye for now. I'll be back soon.

Pfffffffffffffft

I am posting this at the library because my hard drive crashed last night.
Sigh, yes. I took it to the shop today and they can't find out exactly what's wrong with for 7-9 business days.
If it is the hard drive and it's stuffed then I'll have to get someone to retrieve all my data or buy a new hard drive and lose everything. Losing everything seems to be the cheaper option by about $800.

I didn't realise just how much of my life was on that computer. I really liked that computer too, I felt awful leaving it at the shop. Espeically since I knew there probably wasn't anything they could do and I might lose everything.

I've got all my photos on there, my resume, stories that I haven't finished writing and uni work. I think I'll have to talk to the people at uni because I have History and Politics work due next week.

Well, my session is about to end so I'd best be going and I'll see you all later.

Baby's first pub crawl

I made notes on the evening (because that's how I do things) and they seem to have got a little less coherent as the night went on.

First off, with my blog in mind, I made a note of some of the arcade games I saw in the corner at pub number one:
"Deer Hunter 2: A hunter meets his match"

"Mars needs cows"

I saw some people playing this one. The aim is to shoot down the flying saucers and save Earth's precious beef. The cows don't seem too bothered by the situation though, they continued to peacefully chew cud as they were lifted by saucer beams to infinity and beyond.

Then I have a quote from some girls who were talking about boyfriends:
"Once you change your facebook status, it's official."
General consensus was that until you've changed your facebook status, none of it really counted one way or the other.

The next few notes are definitely mine but I can't give you much explanation on them:

"No one studies molecular biology"

"9 in the afternoon - unison"

"Dizzy"

A fun night all round, really.
