so when i'm doing exciting stuff i don't blog. when i spent four hours watching grey's anatomy, however, i'm all over the blogosphere telling everyone about it.

go figure.

anyway, i'm clearly back from vietnam. this is a photo in hanoi. the only place i was cold in vietnam. everywhere else i was so hot i thought i might expire. so it was just as well we were living the high life with swimming pools. returning home was not as cool as i'd hoped. but there were advantages, like my own bed. and cheese.

oh and i have a new job. you might be all like: didn't you just get a new job. and yes, but this is a different one. one i didn't apply for. again, go figure. but i'm embracing it with open arms. after all it means i'm now only seconds away from strongerlight during the working day, and that i get to walk around with a security card WITH MY PHOTO ON IT. life ambition achieved.

one last thing. i hosted a party last night. you might have known about it, in which case you were probably there and are still buzzing from how awesome it was. if you didn't know about it, i blame myself. i was patchy at best on the invites. but all you need to know is that it was a talent quest and it ruled. there were three categories: performance, baking and visual arts. and many more winners. plus my own entry, a lip synch to hayley mills and hayley mills in the Parent Trap, received honourable mention from the judges who were ENTIRELY UNPROMPTED TO DO SO. i'm thinking of taking my act on the road.

that is probably it. there are other events, such as my inability to sleep, which i will probably blog about later. along with how insomnia is not cured by watching episodes of 90210, but it sure is made more awesome by them. for now, i should attempt sleep. i have a big day tomorrow. what with the new job and all.

people are inspiring. first erin represents hilarious life moments in simple drawings. then i decide to write a zine. however, i haven't even read another persons zine yet so for now i'm copying erin's hilarity. i call today's comic strip HOW TO WRITE THE BEST BLOG POST EVER. and it sums up basically how i work my magic. funny cos it is true.
tonight i also drew an hilarious slice of life comic strip moment about the crush of my life duncan and how he is probably madly in love with me. i drew it for my bff at the quiz. but don't ask me about the quiz because even though i'm the world's authority on marty mcfly i didn't freakin even get third place. that's right. i had to settle for 4th. apparently there is no money attached and you could get a hug from the barperson of your choice. but since the man of my dreams is an alcoholic and shouldn't be working at a bar i chose noone.
anyway, the comic strip about duncan was funny cos not only did it ring true re: his likely love for me but also it poked fun of trademe. that's what the public want in their slice of life comics, both topicality and truth. i offer both. i expect my zine to sell like hotcakes.
