all is good. I'm sitting in front of the fire (it's getting flippin brr here!), eating edamame (yom yom), the mighty Canes have beaten the Warratahs and are into the Super 14 Finals for the 1st time ever, people are getting their bum's tatooed on rove live.

*new blog format

Looks like my sidebar should say "blog ONLY VIEWABLE with firefox/safari"...sorry for those with internet explorer and my horrendously large font. I will endeavour to fix it up...mostly likely this weekend when I should be studying for my upcoming last week of exams EVER! yey!

*fun at work

A couple of weeks ago our team got an email from our 2IC that went something along these lines: "Please email me ideas on how to make our workplace more fun - deadline is this time next week." Running through my mind at this time - hmm yes, I am definitely back working in NZ!!!

Earlier today at our Freaky Food morning tea I won the most disgusting food award for my pumpkin, coriander, peanut butter, apple sauce and white and dark chocolate muffins...mmm ....oops nearly killed my boss and HR manager (and myself). Next week we have our "decorate/pimp your desk" competition ...yeeeess... how can that not be good for work productivity!

*bork bork bork

"hellu my freeend, I leeke-a tu iet reece-a pooddeeng und chuculete-a mooffffeens und I cun speek svedeesh leeke-a zee cheff"

I have discovered the encheferizer - you too can speak chef swedish!

*nice shirt

I loved the magnetic poetry we had on our el palacio fridge.

*word

If you're the type of person who likes to know useless random facts, word to ya bro - here are (apparently) the 86,800 most commonly used English words:


*the law of 3's

I'm finding things are always coming up in 3's. I'm born on the 3rd, my last name has 3 letters, I have 3 things on tomorrow night. I didn't know whether it was necessary to get gifts for an engagement party, but after work decided it was a good night for shopping...I am muy excited about the DIY gift ...ooh and that's a 3 letter acronymn

*postnote: heehee and here's the DIY present: matching underwear (cher cher to huffer's 3 dots) modelled (almost) by our lovely meat-loving Nanda and Nanda-loving Nalaka!!!


*the horseshoe nail

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the war was lost.
For want of a war the kingdom was lost.
All for the want of a horseshoe nail.

...ah the horseshoe nail.
