So many lovely people are on the blogger gig nowadays (including my fave new blogger, Chloe Alexandra) so I've updated my profile somewhat so I don't seem like a total knob.

Also, to clarify, I'm at http://www.LRKane.com.

i've tried really, really hard to love Blogger. Honest. But I can do more of what I want with WordPress on my server.

i've moved back.

what's wrong with me??

so while the train disaster hit sydney yesterday, i decided to make the most of it and trotted to a co-workers apartment after work to prepare for a PR party. by prepare, i mean we drank about 5 shots of various alcoholic concoctions, including cock sucking cowboys and cherry ripes. and we did this within about 10 minutes, while singing along to songs on robbie's escapology album.

and we turned up to the PR party — as boring as it was — but i was totally not drunk (amazing considering i'm usually a cadbury (glass and a half) kinda gal. but my drinking buddy was all over the joint, and i loved it.

it's nice getting back into the socialite scene sometimes :)

in other news... um, don't think i have any. but i'm thinking of ditching blogger and going back to movable type on my .com. at least mt is more customisable and since i'm already paying for my .com... i dunno, i'll think about it over the weekend. i kinda don't wanna move shit around again, because i do it so often. meh, i'll see.

we're so romantic

so we just got home from dinner (i don't know how we managed to walk out of the place, we totally ate SO MUCH), and dan's downstairs adding new stuff to his bike and i'm up here, in my PJs, trying to find out if heather's had her baby yet.

at the cafe where we had dinner i asked dan if we could change our usual plan of playing "happy couples" to playing "lovey dovey couples" at the cafe, just for tonight. instead he suggested that we look at the fake statue thingy of a nude, headless guy and try to work out if the missing penis was deliberate or not. after much debate, we decided that we couldn't decide.

so just as soon as i finish my msn convo with a kind-of-superior at work about how many times we rubbed boobs today (another story? i'll save it for next time), i'm off to find my boyfriend and the low-fat chocolate icecream and the latest episode of CSI: Miami. go horatio! :)

i'm a lucky girl

today dan and i are celebrating our THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. i can't believe it's been three and a bit years since we first met. and to spin me out even more, dan got me flowers for the first time since our 1st anniversary (well, he got made reduandant on the same day, so i understand why!). but he didn't get all dumb and spend heaps of money, he got me three red roses. awwww, i'm a lucky girl. and dan's being cute today too. :) tonight we're going out for dinner and mayyyybe a moofie, but we'll see.

i've been busying myself with my new role as helper for anthony and his aussie blogs tracker. it's a nice little job approving changes and whatnot, and it's not that hard considering i check out the tracker a fair bit anyways. i've been looking for a project like that, so i'm content now that i have one :)

next month it looks like i'm going on a road trip out to western NSW with my best bud from work, cathy. she's never been out that way, so i'm gonna take her to dubbo zoo and check out the bogan sites sights.

OH! i've been listening to george michael's soon-to-be-released single, and no joke, i've had it on repeat at work since yesterday morning. it's awesome, i love it. it's classic george, he's finally returned! *happy dance*

in denial

haven't exercised properly in almost a week (even though i've increased my "incidental" exercise — whoop-de-doo), and i think we're getting KFC for dinner. insert lots of "you're sabotaging yourself"-type comments here, cause i'm really good at it. while i'm not really being good, i'm getting myself into good habits and my intake of chips, chocolate and fizzy drinks is definitely decreasing. even with KFC or maccas, i rarely eat ALL of my order now, which i see as a great improvement. just have to exercise. i'll get there.

so when we got home from work tonight (and almost immediately jumped on the PCs to get online — how tragic), bear decided to fall asleep on our adsl modem. he's so totally fucking adorable, that i had to take a photo and show you:



in the 15 minutes since i repeatedly annoyed bear by taking photos of him with the flash on, he has managed to stretch his body across the whole of our messy desk, knocking pens and calorie counters every which way. but he's just so totally KO'd and it's so totally cute, dan and i keep looking at him and saying in our best pumba voice "awww, he's so cute and little... can we keep 'im?"

and since i'd gone to the effort of photoshopping the pic of bear, i thought i'd show off the view from our roof garden yesterday arvo during Yet Another Storm in sydney.



it was so weird to have blue skies and sunshine in the west, a big-ass storm brewing in the east, and this awesome rainbow just down the road. i so totally love rainbows, but there's a long-winded story attached to that, so i'll save it for a day when i can't be bothered cleaning the cat's litter tray or something.

and since elvis is such a cranky pants, i figured i should post a pic of him on australia day, hanging out in the backyard. while bear is dan's favourite cat in the whole wide world, i spend all my time fighting the urge to agree because while elvis is grumpy, anti-social and loves scratching 2 year old's faces on christmas day... he's my first pet as an adult and i love him regardless. and while he acts all stand-offish during the week, i know that he secretly loves how i watch the Will & Grace marathon on sundays and he can lie on me and get his weeks worth of human attention. i love my kitty.



doesn't he look handsome?

okay, so now bear's fast asleep in my lap like a newborn baby and dan's playing some new game on his pc. all while i'm so hungry, i actually WANT to eat kfc.

let's eat!

another belated friday five

At this moment, what is your favorite...

1. ...song?
i don't really think i have one at the moment since Shut up is fading away a bit... i guess it'd be Let me entertain you on robbie's live cd cause it reminds me of being at the concert :( i miss robbie!!

2. ...food?
i'm trying to convice myself that i love vegetables but i could really go a packet of salt and vinegar chips right now.... mmmmm, chippies!

3. ...tv show?
will and grace! i can't get through sunday without my 5 in a row marathon on arena!

4. ...scent?
the smell of bear's fur. creepy i know, but he smells so... bear-ish!

5. ...quote?
"YA MUM!"... just another one of those silly phases at work

ask me how i spent the australia day long weekend

besides visiting my sister and her kids, i spent most of sunday on the couch. i watched the will and grace marathon and then the red carpet awards thingo on mtv. i was in my pjs until 3.30 — YAY ME!

but i ate mcdonalds, so that was BAD. i also had my weekly weight in and i've put a kilo back on (back up to 95kg). BAD RAH! but we ate so much shit food last week and i had the flu thing, so they're my excuses for it. lame, huh?

stupidest thing rah did on the long weekend: yet another attempt at waxing the eyebrows. i really REALLY should know better by now... but i thought i'd give it another go, even though i've had so many disasters before. this time was a doozy. i fucked up the wax placement and when i tried to remove the wax, the wax didn't want to budge, did it? FUCKER! in the end, my eyelashes were sticking to my eyelid, i had bits of toilet paper stuck on my forehead and bits of fluff from my face washer. so i jumped in the shower and steamed myself up and used my exfoliating buffer thing and rubbed at my face until the wax was gone. oh boy, was it gone. i also managed to rub off a few too many layers of skin, so now the areas around my eyes are kinda red and puffy. so it's either back to the tweezers or to the beautician again. i'll have to wait for the very very faint scabs (eww) to heal on the sides of my head.

told you i'm a doofus! learn from me and NEVER attempt to wax your own eyebrows unless you're a professional.

and if you're a professional, wanna come 'round and teach me waxing without fucking up?

feeling a bit poorly

ever since i started taking multi-vitamins again, i've been consistently feeling under the weather. first it was a head-cold-type thing that disappeared after a couple of days and now i've been with this cough and snot problem for the better part of this week. BOO.

so my healthy eating and exercise regime has been fucked over for another week. partially because i'm feeling shitty, partially because my best friend from high school has been in town but really because i don't have as much willpower as i really really need. i've started telling myself that i'm sabotaging myself as i eat oporto or pizza hut, and i think it's working.

today has been such a fun day at work (to an extent)... all these old tv hits-type magazines turned up and i scored an indecent obesssion poster (oh how i loved david dixon so), plus john stamos/full house (it even has kimmy in it!) as well as dean cain, jonathan brandis, take that (young robbie! whee!) and colour me badd. it's fucking hillarious! my glass wall in my office looks like my bedroom back when i was 14. YAY!

i was thinking this morning about some milestones that are popping up in the next few weeks. besides my eldest nephew starting year 10 and my youngest starting kindy (*sniff*), my man turns *gasp* 26 soon, and just before that, we celebrate our three year anniversary.

WOW. three years. that's a lot. and it's a gazillion times better because i'm with a man who isn't a closet gayboy or a dud root or emotionally retarded. thank god those days are behind me.

friday five

in the process of checking out the nominees for the bloggies, i rediscovered the friday five!

1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
at work? my title, web site URLs, phone numbers and whatever. at home? usually some funny quote like "e-i-e-i-o is a gross misspelling of the word farm"

2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?
we didn't get a yearbook because helen mezzina took all our money and did a runner. no shit. we got no yearbook, but she scored ten bucks off each of us. whore.

3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?
i'd love to have RAH or something like that. none of this business with initials and birthdates though.

4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?
i got a bracelet a few years back with "la vie boheme" engraved on it. i love it. the quote is from RENT.

5. What would you like your epitaph to be?
"You're standing on my big toe"
