It's Friday! It's Friday! Yay!
No, it's not really. I'm lying through my uneven teeth. It's only Thursday, but it's the last day of the working week for me, much yayness!
However, there is a downside to all the joy... As of tomorrow morning, I will be six desperate hours away from any PC that I can do work on via the 'net. Nooooooo! [insert much wailing and gnashing of teeth here] I'm heading to the god-awful town/village/shithole of Mildura for a couple dog shows with Nessa. I'm looking forward to the drive. Nessa and I always have fun getting there and getting home again, it's just the bits in between those times that I don't like.
Unfortunately, I'm going to be three days in close proximity with Mima, my nazi bitch of a grandmother. Argh. It's going to be painful for me. Do not think that this trip will be fun. Noooo. It wont be. I'm not looking forward to being IN Mildura THAT close to the old hag.
On the plus side however, I'm doing my thang ringside and I've got a spiffy business t-shirt (go me!) that Mum made (go Mum!). I can also go wandering over to Danni's house (my other aunt, the middle child of my mothers sibling set) and say hello to the horses - and yell at her for leasing out mah baby Kahlima. Kahlima was the first daughter of the umpteenth horse (Rahma) that belonged to Danni all those years ago. She's a sweet natured and loveable horse, very pretty too. But Danni leased her out to another family!!! *wail* Not fair.
Anyway. I've got a laptop (an old brick of a thing for which SK paid $100, but it comes with all the bells and whistles and is probably just as powerful as my desk PC) which I'm taking with me so I can work some more on my story with Nessa (that Taeda thingie). She'll be wanting to see how much I've actually worked on it - which is not much of late, so she's not going to be pleased. But hell, I think I can come up with something in a 12 collective-hour drive. I hope.
Ooohh... aparently Chari from Techfluid love's my hat (see the previous entry for pics). *L* Everyone loves that hat. It's shrunk though. Don't ask me how it shrunk, but it shrunk in certain spots and I can't wear it. I'll get another one. They're great wet-weather hats. Tip, if you own the Great Australian Foldable Hat, DON'T put it anywhere warm when it's wet. It shrinks. So no heaters or the back seats of warm cars (like silly me did). SK's got one too, but his hasn't shrunk. How annoying. I can't steal his. He's got a bigger head than me.
Now, I am not expecting SK to do anything while I am away. Nothing. I can guarantee that the house will still be a pigsty when I get home. He might deign to wash most of the dishes, but the cleaning of anything else? Yeah right. Not. Maybe he'll surprise me. I will however give him a list of stuff to do, and I'll give Mum full permission to bug him about it to help me out with him. SK's just a lazy shit who's used to his mother cleaning up after him. That doesn't work for me sorry, I am no one's bloody housemaid. It's bad enough cleaning up after the animals let alone him. Fortunately I did most of the washing through the week so it's only a few things on the floor that can wait until I get back.
On another subject - I did that Google thing that everyone seems to be doing at the moment, and as I expected, most of the stuff that I got was for Ren & Stimpy. *unimpressed* However, I did in fact pull out a few good ones.
Ren is...a television station!
Ren is...The Renaissance Transgender Assoc., Inc.
Ren is...a tea manufacturer!
Ren is... an education network!
Ren ... own's a horror DVD & VHS movie store.
Heh. Go figure.
