lethargy: #1 killer of bees... i mean me

Fallujah. While it is a city and admittedly has nothing to do with me or my blog, it just felt right to start with that. Hope you don't mind. Well guys, this muggy Melbourne weather is really taking its toll on me. I have been so lazy lately that at some point over the weekend I would not be surprised to learn that my heart had actually stopped beating momentarily. I was in a state of hibernation like no other. Oh the grandiose plans I had in mind for the weekend... oh how i could go on.. but i won't bore you with the things i WAS going to do, instead i'll surprise you with them another day.

This was pretty much what i did most of the time...

and this...

I went between the two really. I spent more time on the couch though, getting in some quality Mighty Boosh, IT Crowd, The Office (USA version), Arrested Development, and a whooole lot of shitty weekend TV. It. Was. Awesome. Awesome and mind-numbingly boring. My lethargy seemed to seep into everyone around me's lungs and i sort of brought everyone down with me to sleepy town.

*Note: we have two TVs set up cos the little one is for the Nintendo 64 that came to our place along with our new housemates. It's not like we are some sort of Dennis Hopper-esque terrorists watching the progress of a speeding bus on multiple screens. Pssshhh.

I managed to break out of my coma in order to attend a Jungle themed 21st on Saturday night. Josh drove. haha. Anyway as we were leaving, i visited the latrine and on my way out I saw this on the wall...

I presume it is a height chart for multiple children in a family. it is pretty creepy as it is so old, and these children do not live there anymore - or maybe their ghosts do because they all only go up to about 7 years old... yipes! Infanticide is alive and well in Melbourne! Well i guess it's not infanticide of they are 7 right? Just plain old murder. Plainy olde le merdoor. yep. anyway, look at the creepy wall and think long and hard about stuff.

Also, while i was so lazy over the weekend, Hayden bought a new car!! A VW golf :) I got to driiive it, i got to driiive it! So exciting for me, as my car 'Ebi' is fairly old as you can see it the pic:

Poor Hayden had only owned his new car for a few hours when he came back to it and found someone had smashed into the side mirror.... BOOO! I believe he used the word "Berk" to describe the person who wronged him, which i thought was letting them off quite easily. Then he told me he had been looking into Cockney Slang and BERK is shortened from Berkshire Hunt - rhyming slang for cunt. WOW. did not know. I heard them using it on Mighty Boosh and thought it was rather playful so Josh and I began calling eachother Berk all the time. Now that i know what it REALLY means I'm just going to use it more! muahahaaa *I looked up some cockney and i like this one: Chum = Bubble Gum. "How you doin' Bubble Gum?" hehe *

Oh yes, Friday night. Before the lethargy set in, I had grandoise plans as i mentioned, so Josh and I made this vegan "meat" pie for dinner. I'm not going to put up the recipe yet- even though it tasted awesome the consistency was all wrong. So runny! I wanted to put tempeh in it but josh just wanted veggies. Will keep at it, and report back with a workable recipe.

lol @ "rustic" looking pie top. The lethargy set in right before i put the pastry on top obviously!

So, what do i have planned for tonight you ask...? Well it is quite hilarious but i am lookig forward to watching Brokeback Mountain FOR THE FIRST TIME EVAHHHHH, in bed. Oh dear... I am seriously going to swallow my tongue one of these days. Lethargyyy is killing meeee. Hey, I had a super late night last night and had to get up extra early for work today so i am tired! Maybe i will cook something or go for a run or something productive. Seriously I didnt shower for like almost 40 hours over the weekend. Sunday i totally dropped the ball. oh well...

~

Speaking of dropping the ball, it's SUPERBOWL SUNDAY in aMerica today. Here it is Monday obviously but the boys are all at a pub watching it as we speak. I totally wish i was there too, beats work any day. Even though i don't understand the rules of NFL... or any sport for that matter... i think that part of my brain is missing. I dont know how many times Josh has explained to me the rules of Tennis when the Australian Open is on. It is laughable. HAHAHA.

~

You know what else is laughable!? Hayden put a picture on his blog of when i went to help him shift house from Newport to our place. As most of his things were moved out already there were no tools to dis-assemble his bed frame. We thought "hmm it's pretty light, we can totally get it down the stairs!!" So we got it most of the way down before it got wedged between the 2 walls and was hanging suspended a few meters in the air... photo: HERE . Don't ask what I am doing in that photo... my own face frightens me a lot of the time. Anyway in the end we had to go ask a neighbour for a socket set and take the bed apart in mid-air.. haha ridiculous.

~

You know what else is ridiclous?! (man, i am slutting this segway up today) What is ridiculous is that my own cat, Chester, HATES ME NOW! Ever since Maki and Hayden moved in, he has been so distant and doesn't come to me when i click or call his name like he used to. The others have noticed it also. I was clicking so furiously that i am surprised i didnt snap a finger - and Chester just looked at me with hardly any recognition in his eyes. Then hayden did it and he ran over and jumped on his lap. Hayden and Maki both love Chester sleeping on their beds and

in the morning whoever had the pleasure of his company is King in de castle. I have fallen from power. Overthrown. Mutiny. Can't go on... How can i win him back?? You know, the other night he was limping badly so maybe i ran over his foot again? i dont think so though... maybe he just associates limping with me and now hates me for no reason. sigh

Anyway I am starving, and I have some left over Pasta that Hayden made last night. MMM!
Catch!
