Numerous anecdotes.

I know there have been numerous times since my last post that I thought “Hmm, I should post on my blog about that before I forget”… Let’s see how I do. This may not come out in order and I will definitely forget stuff.

On Friday night, Emily and Merodie wanted to have a girls night, so politely asked me if I could have something else to do. I went and saw Stealth with Mark and Hobbs – David?, followed by a vanilla frappacino at Starbucks, which wasn’t very good. In fact it was kind of like vanilla and ice, which has led me to the conclusion that Vanilla Ice knew exactly what he was doing when he named himself that. (Calling himself crappy) The experience was somewhat improved by eating the cream off the top using a couple of straws as chopsticks. We then proceeded into town and played pool at iconic for an hour or so. I had some great shots and also some really bad shots. My consistency was not fantastic. Apparently I arrived home about 5 seconds after the girls had gone to bed, which was quite good timing. Stealth was better than I expected, although it will never be called an amazing movie.

Saturday morning we cranked out the singstar, which was probably painful for anybody listening when it was my turn. At one point in the proceedings I thought I was doing awesomely for about half the song, thrashing Emily completely, before realising that I had been looking at her bar and was in fact failing dismally. 🙁 I think I did some washing too.

Watched Frida in the afternoon. I’m really not sure how it managed to pull off an R13 rating. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

Me and Craig watched Life on tv in the evening, which was interesting, although it did drag on a little. Emily’s Scottish friends came back again too. – Not sure if I’ve mentioned them previously, and we cranked out the Singstar again. There was a large range of talent…

On Sunday I went to church in the morning, and saw Debz which was cool. Merodie and me decided to go get some chelsea buns from the bakery for lunch and Mike wanted a custard scroll. We walked to KB’s which had crap stuff, but we bought some anyway, just in case we missed out at other bakeries. Then we went home got our bikes and biked to Couplands and got some much better chelsea buns. We then realised we were short one custard scroll and biked to bakers delight. We ended up with a lot of baked stuff…

We watched HHGTTG in the late afternoon and then Mike and me watched Walking Tall while we made tea, which was quite late, but that was fine because we’d eaten quite a lot in the afternoon – Pork roast with apple sauce and roast yams and roast kumara and roast potatoes and broccoli and beans. – Awesome!

Oh, I haven’t had any coffee for a week and a half and I feel great. I had a coke somewhere in the piece and I actually felt quite messed up afterwards…
