i freakin' love it when you go to a movie just cos you want to go to a movie (you know, for the experience) and then five minutes into the movie you realise you love it and it is your favourite movie of all time.

cos that is almost what happened to me tonight. i mean with the exception that i didn't go to see sound of music or grease so it wasn't my favourite movie of all time, but it was pretty good. razzle dazzle. it was a journey through dance. and it also showed mockumentaries are funny again. praise be. because frankly i was worried after seeing for your consideration.

but this isn't a movie blog so i'll shut up. mostly cos i can't explain what i do or don't like about movies. i'm like the game and fiddy cent when they collaborate: love it or hate it. speaking of loves i loved loved loved arashi sushi for dinner tonight. although i didn't eat sushi cos yuck. although i can't explain why. i just hate it. instead i had chicken and rice and soy beans and they were delicious. again i offer no explanation.

rather than in explaining, my strength is more in list writing. and this week it is all about recapping a list of things i basically didn't do. i didn't save more. i didn't beat hrc in scrab. i didn't rock the quiz (but only cos i couldn't muster the enthusiasm to go), i didn't walk to work and i didn't find anywhere for my clothes. anywhere except the floor that is. but they look so at home there i don't have the heart to move them.

i did do some stuff though. rotorua was wonderful and i walked around like i owned the place. i even went to the rotovegas pak n save and guess what? worst shopping experience of my life. it was busy and ugly and full of locals talking about how annoying asian people are. as if they themselves are less annoying. seriously, as if. i also got the world's most uncomfortable massage in rotorua. it involved someone watching me shower and then singing me elton john songs. needless to say i didn't feel superrelaxed afterwards. and obviously i'm too repressed to tell people to leave the room and or stop singing sir elton hits already. success also on the shannon front. and on the way i stopped briefly in otaki, outlet shop heaven. anyway i spent the equivalent of my rent on bits and bobs. mostly bits. and white the proto nano also has rihanna's umbrella on it as well as some gym class heroes.

another solid seven out of ten week.

this week i'm aiming sky high. a hundred percent week. i will accordingly set the bar low.

• no credit card purchasing
• 90210 special features at hrcs house
• dancing til dawn at 24 hour party people, and
  
• making my lunch at least one day this week.
  

i think i may meet all these objectives. ten out of ten week here i come....
