It's just being a dick of a day - you know? those days? everyone has them every now and again so I tried to glide calmly through and not to rant *too* much though I wasn't entirely rant-free but James never listens to me anyway so no one was hurt.
Thanks to spammer/ihug/telecom/client/vodafone/ihug/telecom/spammer for injecting irritations into my day. For without irritations there would be nothing to compare the really good things in life to. Like, me getting my own way and, having lots more money in my back account and sitting quietly drinking coffee instead of pounding my fist on the table and inhaling 4 cups. Good on ya mate.
Overheard family fun:
context = talking about reality relying on a belief system: "Van Helsing's real, just like God and the Easter Bunny"
context = fighting over a bowl of orange jelly where the first speaker lost and the second speaker won but is sulking: "you're such a sook" "yeh, but I'm a sook with jelly."

Monday Morning Rain
Eating poached eggs and missing the wonderful french toast experience from yesterday's brunch at Atomic Cafe in Ponsonby. But the really great news is I get to do it again in September when my sister, Joanne, come's up for her annual Sisters' Conference thing [Sunday, October 13, 2002]
It was a very sporty weekend - the Warriors lost to the Broncos and the All Blacks lost to the Australians. League and Union - liked the first live game, sat through the telecast second.
Nice to see the Bronco's Karmichael Hunt in the flesh, so to speak. No, I'm not having thoughts of cradle snatching this athletic 17 year old - mostly because I'd never be able to catch him should he scare and bolt [!!] He's very, very fast. I had to wonder if he kisses his mother with that mouth a few times but then he plays and I realise what a very bright future that young man has. He's fast as lightning, slippery as an eel and appears to *think* which makes his future look all the more promising.
