HQ: perfect venue for a loud, fabulous and highly entertaining bash It’s quite something that I am up and about and rather perky at just after 7am on a Saturday morning, but then again it wasn’t such a late one yesterday – that’s one bonus of office lunches, you get started early and have all day! Ours was at Headquarters, been there when it’s a club but hadn’t eaten there so was interested to see how it looked by day. …
If today being one day away from Friday wasn’t enough, it’s also been a pretty darn good day – I am super excited about the weekend ahead, and there is just so much to process right now I can hardly sit still. Here are some of the highlights… * It’s our office bash tomorrow. At HQ, at lunchtime. We get to dress up, and the copywriters have something special planned. It’s going to be awesome, I can’t wait! Now just …
This has been a strange week alright. The mystery of my unexplained puddles of water in my lounge was solved last night when it began to rain from my ceiling – the detergent smell and noise upstairs tells me that maybe it’s a bust washing machine or such. I don’t know, I will tell me landlord and stick a note on the flat upstairs’ door; beyond that it is just not my issue and damned if I’m going to have …
Day After Tomorrow wolves: so faux, so cheesy I was kinda half watching the bore fest that is The Day After Tomorrow, which was on etv last night. I’ve seen it before, and it didn’t really rank up there as movies I enjoy – disaster movies are second only to period war dramas or epic biopics in terms of boreville to me. Still, there wasn’t much else on and I was tired enough to sit through most of it anyway. …
“But who can say what’s best? That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.” ~ Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood) It’s starting to sink in at last. Things that have been …
There is something to be said about breaking up with your boyfriend just before a weekend, on a payday, at the start of summer. If my heart weren’t so broken, I may even have said that the timing was some sort of consolation. I haven’t really quite gotten used to the fact that I am single again. Heartbreak is a funny thing. Emotions, just chemicals in our brain and yet they have the power to make us feel so utterly …
As my zen levels fade quicker than Nivea sunless bronzer, my taste in music gets more and more along the mope zone. This has been a long and mostly stressful month, I am tired beyond belief and today has just been hard on so many levels. James Taylor came on Oprah today and reminded me what a beautiful voice he has, and how awesome music was back in the 70′s – especially alongside his former wife Carly Simon (one of …
Loving it… * Nando’s chips for lunch * Red toenails * Fabulous Sundays * Johnny Cash * Green tea and jasmine * Hot summer’s mornings * The farm smell in my road * Family * Brandy and coke out of plastic cups * Fires * Laughing * Kissing * Swimming in cool dams Annoying me… * Rude people * Faulty lounge lights * Feeling tired * Guilt tripping over Nando’s chip lunch * Headaches * Taking debates too seriously * …
It’s hard to believe that Saturday is here at last, after a very long and draining week of minimal sleep, deadlines, manic work and far too much coffee it’s taken a while for the reality to kick in. A lot of random thoughts, because with less than five hours sleep last night I am still operating on a somewhat different zone today… * Organisation, or pitiful attempts thereof… After reading @Brazen’s post on organisation, and then watching an insert on …
I’m not quite sure how it happened, but the weekend is just around the corner yet again. And I have to admit, I haven’t been looking forward to a week ending this much in a while. Life is been pretty manic this week, and with minimal off time, extra over-time each day, freelance work up to my ears and busy workdays in the daytime, I’m starting to feel like quite the workaholic. The thing is though, compared to last month, …
