Look! It's Alleliua!

I'm not using the internet at home at the moment in an attempt for my grandparents to have internet of a decent speed 'til the end of the month. And can I remember to blog at uni? Well, how many posts have I posted this week? That'd be no, I can't remember.


I won a sims2 competition! Go me! I had completely convinced myself I was going to place last.
(That's my avi as proof.) This is my fave pic from the entry, except the one in the top right of this page. And let me tell you, I'm proud. It took some photoshoppin', especially her waist and feet. (Hopefully you can't see it, though.)So. This week I went and ate Dad's Famous Lentil Patties at the cousins', and hid out in Stu's room while he and Trent played... umm... forgot name of 'puter game, and I started reading Lian Hearn's The Harsh Cry of the Heron, but I left it there on purpose because I've got maths games to be a-making.
Also
I desperately want to see Once which is out in cinemas today - I've had some music from it on my MP3 player for months which I really like - but I'm too poor. So I'll have to wait a whole week and pray it doesn't disappear.

Monkey on the lam

Tacos at the rellies last night. Tall cousin has got himself a Very Fine Hat. I checked out Stu's oral on 'The Picture of Dorian Grey' (snaps for using the word 'decadent' in the first twenty seconds) and we watched the Colbert Report and had a money fight (with, not about btw.)

As of last Thursday when I finished reading Eric, I've read every single one of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, from The Colour of Magic to Wintersmith. There's over thirty, so it feels like an achievement.

Also, random Sims skills are relevant to the real world: taking good screencaps and knowing about online file-hosting are both going to be very useful for my next assignment (a group presentation on digital stories.)

kidnappings and such

So. I had a lovely Easter weekend, as I was unexpectedly kidnapped by my cousins and made to eat chocolate and go shopping and watch movies. We made white chocolate and orange truffles, and I ate too many, and then I sat on the couch and watched Breakfast at Tiffany's and felt quietly sick.
