It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

The LFoD is a wonderful house full of slightly insane people and a truly insane feline. Said feline will leap around the room in seconds, sprint through the living room and jump off the couch ala The Matrix and then roll on the ground and demand pets. She's adorable, slightly demented, and not all that brilliantly bright. She had a treat on her leg for twenty minutes today and didn't notice it. But she's my darling. And yesterday Alison showed me a comic that reminded me of her so much.

( Comic behind cut because it's HUGE apparently )

That face in the final frame is SO Ariadne! Wolveradne!

( SO HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF MY CAT AND YOU WILL ENJOY THEM! )

And that's my cray-cray girl!

Oh my god. I just watched Stardust. I am in love. Neil Gaiman, why are you so goddamn lovely? Why do you write the most awesome things?

Oh right. Because you are the most awesome. True fax.

In the end of the movie I yelled "BUT WHO IS GOING TO SHINE UP THERE" and then my question was answered and I'm so gosh darn HEARTWARMED I could heat...a...cold place. And then the three of us giggled because we quoted Boosh. "Look at them shine! Look at them shinin'. Look at them shine!"

No, but seriously. Love. And Henry Cavill had twat hair in it and then he made SEX EYES at ROBERT DE NIRO who was the most fabulous person who ever fabuloused... Henry Cavill was supposed to be with Sienna Miller but he winked at Robert who is a MUCH BETTER CHOICE yes he is. I approve. Go make fabulous sex.

Also, Charlie Cox DOES = Peter Rodgers when he gets a makeover. It was pretty awesome.

Why did I wait until now to see this movie? It's been out forever, and I love Gaiman. *sigh* But now I have seen it and I can go to sleep with a warmed heart. All together now. "D'awwwwww!"

On a lighter note, if you want hours of fun, here's a game what plays music! Bill Bailey had one of these at his stand up show in Christchurch! Of course, his wasn't on a computer. He had someone put their hand on it and it played a song. It was awesome.

( Musical Squares )

"That's okay, I am the coolest person in the apocalypse, you know!"

It's nice to know that even in other people's dreams, I am still me. Even in Alison's epic zombie apocalypse dream I managed to get out of the breeding program because I was a scientist with massive brains. I love that a little too much.

Hey, I saved Neil Gaiman in the dream. Respect!

Today I had a test I did not appreciate, though I did fine. And I gave my presentation which had a Tim Minchin song at the beginning and that was awesome. Now I need to finish my essay for tomorrow. Aughaughaugh this term is trying to kill me.

Ali: "I am not good at verbal book reviews." *awkward silence* ..... ... .. ..... "Or...speaking..."

Alison ♥

My exercycle is awesome. It is in my room and I've already used it twice. Woot took me to get it and Alison came along and getting it into the car was...interesting. I did not help. Woot did it all. And then we went to the BeAcH and we had SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM FROM A VAN and then I FROLICKED IN THE OCEAN UNTIL MY JEANS WERE SOAKED AND I COULDN'T FEEL MY FEET. No, you seriously do not understand how excited this makes me.

...I'm 29. *cough*

Anyway, my presentation on prejudice is nearly finished and I have consumed an entire clove of baked garlic as well as chicken and wedges. Alison should always cook. Garliiiiiccccccc.

And coffee. But not together.

I might be slightly hyper since I spent the entire day studying instead of on the internet (except for the break in the middle with beaches...not the movie though I do love that Bette Midler) and now I can't stop wiggling and giving Alison funny looks which make her be silent awkwardly.

YAY!

Today:

I won an exercycle off of Trade Me which I find WAY TOO EXCITING FOR WORDS OKAY because it's blue and I WON SOMETHING

It is my niece's birthday here (even if it isn't in the US yet) and she is wonderful :D

I got a Magritte userhead for this LJ. YES this is amazing. It's Magritte even if you can't really see that there's an apple in front of the thing. I love it!

Now I get to make a PowerPoint for a presentation which I get to use the Tim Minchin song 'Prejudice' for. Which is pretty damn awesome, I have to say.

I love my friends. And risotto. And moscato, which has made me quite a little tipsy wheee sparkling wine. And now Ali and Alina are watching Coraline and the Neil Gaimaness is making me smile. And I am going to Leah come to Vienna with me some day despite what she says. Just as an aside.

Coraline's hair is blue and that's awesome.

My cat is silly.

Oh maaaaan my head is floaty :D Which clearly means I should write a bunch of scenes...

You know what's awesome after having an emotional day and not sleeping for three nights? Awesome friends on AIM and a wonderfully weird housemate who narrates her kitchen-skills in a French accent.

Circe in the kitchen:

"I pour you on to ze potatoes like we are old friends and you have just returned from Versailles."

"Now I put zem in ze OVEN where it eez HOT like between mah LEGS."

"I will surVIVE. Like an ox. Or...a leettle marmoset with beeg arms!"

BLESS YOU! This was for a scene where Peter and Aly were trying to forget they were going to do war the next day. It was ominous and I ♥

(Though I did get DAN LOSER BROWN for a Templar scene, but since it analyses words, I protest that this is simply because of the similarities in subject, ie secrets within the Catholic Church. Screw you, Dan Brown. Screw you.)

EDIT: LEAH JUST SHOVED A BUNCH OF CABBAGE IN HER MOUTH SO IT HUNG OUT LIKE TENTACLES AND THEN TOLD ME SHE WAS CTHULHU!!! I believe this is because she tested her writing and got HP Lovecraft.

I live in the best houuuussseeee!

I JUST GOT THE AWESOMEST BIRTHDAY PRESENTS FROM LEWI! Including Season 2 of True Blood and Season 4 of Supernatural. AND SIMS games! Do you know, Honey, when you were all "do you have all the stuff packs" I had NO idea you were trying to grill me for presents. I am so amused. So much so that when I opened the box, I was all "dude, did I have mansion and garden stuff and I left it in Australia?" I am so amused. And now I need a guide for Ambitions, because he got me the latest expansion for SIMS 3 too :D And I got Paranormal Activity. Which I am terrified of. And no one here will watch it with me. Which means I will watch it at night in my room and then die of fright. YAY! Scarymoviesyayomg! +Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, which I love not only because it was Heath's last movie, but because it has Johnny Depp, and Flynn Jude Law and it's weird as hell.

Happy Lara :D And my birthday isn't for two weeks MUAHAHHAHAHAA!!! Thank you, Baby! (And I transferred you the shipping money this morning ;))

I got some more of my things as well (which is why I paid for the shipping!), meaning mostly my Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. Any NZers want to play me (I'M HAN SOLO AND NO YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!)

Yes. I am a nerd.
