I just had to do the 'take a sip of water and swallow while bent upside down' thing to get rid of hiccups. Loki got his footing upright on the back of my shoulder at first, then dutifully hung upside down with me. D'awwwww.

06:32 pm - Pleased
Know what that is? That, ladies and gentlemen, is the first on-panel romantic kiss between two men in the Marvel universe. Welcome to the 21st century, Marvel. It only took how many years?

If anyone's interested in the Max '2 pairs of jeans for $99' sale but can only find one pair they like let me know - I got two pairs already (with a voucher I had it was even cheaper WIN), but I'm in love with one of the pairs I got so much I wouldn't mind getting it in the other colour. So I'm happy to go halves on the deal with someone :-)

I heart Obama so hard, I won't deny it. I was just watching the Colbert Report filmed in Iraq, and Colbert was interviewing a Major, who told him if he wanted to be a real soldier he'd have to shave his head. Colbert protested, saying "I'm not taking that from no mere four star general!". There was a buzzing noise, then President Obama appeared on the big screen behind them:
Obama: Steven! I heard you don't want to shave your head like a real soldier!
Colbert: What?! Hang on! Are you telling me your spy satellites are really *that* powerful?!
Obama: Nope, my ears are really that big.
LOVE. SO. HARD.

08:30 am - Where in the world and when in time is Stephen Colbert going to be in...
... IRAQ!

Honestly, I'm surprised he's genuinely going to the Persian Gulf. I assumed there would be hilarious green-screen action, not the genuine article.

I have to say, when I read the headline my first thought was "... Horatio?!", but no, Bill.

It's that time again, ladies and gents. I just had to tell my little Loki, my baby, light of my life, to stop masturbating on me. *Sigh*.

"No, if he thought like me he'd have realised that living in misery is marginally better than dying in it"
Aaaand House is dealing with suicide this episode, including finding the body. Fabulous. Boston Legal had better be hilarious.

06:51 pm - I am utterly torn on all aspects of this.

On the one hand OH NO YOU DON'T. On the other hand Russell Brand. On the third hand NO NO NO ARE YOU INSANE?! On the fourth hand it does sound like it's being done with love. And I do love 'Beetlejuice'. I just... I just don't know.

I just had butter chicken for the first time in my life that I can remember. I wasn't impressed. Why is it sweet?

Hey all, I need a vote. Do I want to dance at Cafe Istanbul on my birthday? It's Saturday the 6th of Jun (we do the roster 2 months in advance). Would people be interested in having a big group dinner at Cafe Istanbul that night, with me slipping off at one point and becoming the entertainment, or would you guys prefer I ask NOT to be rostered on that night, and we all go somewhere else? Or should think of something else entirely to do?

07:45 am - Finally someone said it!
The Good Morning hosts are talking to Josh Kronfeld and partner, as the latest couple to be eliminated from Dancing with the Stars. Paul Henry just asked Josh if he found his partner's costumes distracting (this is after making a crack earlier in the progamme about the partner's 'top two' helping them get into the top three). Josh Kronfeld looked surprised at the question, then said "Mate, you really are a bit of a dickhead, you know that? That's an awful question. Anyway, look at some of the shit *I* had to wear!!"
a) Live TV is awesome
b) FINALLY someone called Paul on his shit.

Moved. Everything went smoothly, but even so I'm sore all over and so tired I can't focus on reading my flist. To be expected, I guess.

07:12 am - Didn't sleep well.
Moving Day is today. I hope to be posting again from my new place tonight, not because I'll have anything interesting to say, but because if I can get on the 'net it'll mean my phone line was switched over with no problems. The upside of Moving Day is Mum has promised to bring a care package down, and I do believe it will contain gefilte fish. That will go nicely with the chrain (horesradish sauce) Dad mailed me, along with matzah and matzah ball mix. Yeah, that man's a bit odd :-P
Loki has developed a habit of insisting I open the curtains behind me when I'm on my laptop so that he can see out. The curtains are actually broken, so I've been hooking one side behind my chair. I've told him that from later today he'll have a nearly 360* view, but being a parrot he has no concept of that (no, I'm not quite *that* insane). Oh well, it's nice knowing it'll make him happy, even if the actual moving will stress him.
And for all those still hanging on my every word, I am pleased to report that both my orchid and peace lily were hand-transferred yesterday with no problems. Your life has been enriched - go forth and spread the word.

Gddamn you, Boston Legal, you're supposed to be funny and thought-provoking, not absolutely heart-wrenching.

06:44 pm - I HEART STEPHEN COLBERT
Some New Agey prat trying to make money off 9/11: "Are you ready? Are you ready to feel the way you felt the day after 9/11? ARE YOU READY TO FEEL THE WAY YOU FELT ON 9/12?!
Stephen Colbert: *jumping up from behind his desk wearing a gas mask and an adult diaper, and holding a shot-gun*: READY!!!

07:09 am - Trade Me Wars
The epic battle was fought, and I emerged victorious, and minus a fortnight's clothing allowance. Meet the latest addition to my family:
Technically they're half an size too small, but either a) they'll fit (36s sometimes do) or b) it's so worth getting them stretched. HAPPY :-)
NO. MORE. BOOTS. BAD TARYN.

04:04 pm - UPDATE 4 LYFE
I take possession on Friday, then have a week to transfer delicate stuff myself before Moving Day. Getting close, and it's getting hard to move in here with all the boxes and bags. Logic dictates that as you pack the boxes take up the space the possessions did before, so there should be little to no loss of living space. LOGIC IS BULLSHIT.
Loki is wondering why I'm not letting him share my drink. That would be because the drink in question is an experimental concotion of peacherines soaked overnight in spiced rum, with ginger beer. Yep, it's as good as it sounds. Next time I may even drink it with other people around. It's more classy that way.
Also, I've been indulging in my favourite weekend past-time of veging out in front of endless Food TV. The net result is tonight's dinner will be lamb knuckle (on special from New World ILU bright orange 'quick sale' sticker), marinated in a mix of usweetened natural yoghurt, coriander, spring onion, garlic and lime juice then roasted, with Morroccan roast pumpkin, homemade flat bread, and left-over marinade on the side. And possibly more of Mummy's Special Drink. Yus. The fruit explodes into ethanol in my mouth. Being tipsy is distracting me from the flu, which is dancing around the edge of my immune system with its underwear on its head.
Remember kiddies, Legend of the Seeker starts tonight on Prime! The greatest Evil man has ever faced is... CRAIG PARKER. Terry Goodkind, always loltastic.

06:36 pm - You're a beard with an idiot hanging off it.
Right you 'orrible lot, who's coming to Dylan Moran in May? Tickets must be bought!
(Wayne Brady's also coming, let me know if you're interested, I wouldn't mind going to that too.)

02:34 pm - Shitty packing is shitty
I'm allergic to dust. Feeling pretty crap right now. Ugh, packing.
Also, I was reading a magazine earlier, and there was an ad from Partridge Jewellers with a picture of a ring with a MASSIVE stone, and the slogan 'Men moved mountains for these stones. All you have to do is move a man.'
FUCK. OFF.
Also also hey Rosie! I bought the frock coat from Max yesterday. Mmmm warm and cuddly and Lestat-ish.
