so anyway if you are my facebook friend you probably realise by now i'm like obsessed with scrab. which is a shame because i suck at it. for every game i win i lose two. how that happened i don't know.

not that it should bother me. because hello this time next week i'll be parasailing in waikiki. or at the don ho show. or something awesome anyway. currently getting a buzz from telling people in meetings i won't see them for five weeks. suckers.

maybe i'll move to the states. i mean, it would increase the likelihood of me seeing interpol live. i will do a pro con list on the flight home from LA. that is if i have time - in between picking between the sixty movies on offer. and as an aside thanks qantas dot com for knowing that the only info i need about my flight is what movies are playing. info like how to smuggle wine into the USA would have been totally superfluous.

tonight, in addition to watching an amusing figwit doco, i read lots of guidebooks. mostly for nyc. if i sleep in nyc it will be time wasted.

also guess what? i am still waiting to be an aunt again. my sister is still pregnant. and i still await anxiously the arrival of my new toy. i have outfits all selected (for both him and me) and can't wait to dress him up and cuddle him and smell him. holy heck babies rule.

and so do holidays.

as i've said before so does my life. rules that is.

my joy yesterday was getting togs in the mail. they are the most awesome togs ever and everyone in waikiki will be jealous as i snorkel and all-i-can-drink soda with the dolphins. although i haven't yet figured out how i can swim AND wear the matching sunglasses that i just know i will find for $15 from equip if i look hard enough. but really that is a detail.

my other joy was listening to guns of brixton on my nano. it is now one of my top five songs on facebook dot com. and i know what you're thinking: didn't you just join facebook dot com on friday. and before that weren't you all like part of the bebo gang? and yes, that's true. but the bebo gang is for my teenager side. so my top rated song is lil mamma's lip gloss cos that bubble gum is poppin'. facebook dot com is where the matureds hang out. i can in express myself in full words and sentences and what not. but other than that i don't truly fit in. i mean you're reading the blog of a girl who was IDed at every bar she went in over the weekend. THAT'S RIGHT I LOOK 17. it's the oil olay.

which reminds me that a bouncer was totally trying to flirt with me on saturday. reeeow. hence the IDing i guess. and the conversation about my scarf. but then my scarf is awesome. it was my first ever crochet project. which was like a year ago when i went to adelaide and spent the afternoon in a heatwave lying on a couch in my hotel room learning to chochet with hels. that was the time when i lost my passport and had to pay through the nose for a new one and missed a plane only to find my lost passport in the drawer where i'd left it. ah memories. but just in case, i might go now and double check my passport. i want none of those mess ups with waikiki.
