i had a post a few days ago about someone's passing out parade, and for the benefit of those who haven't attended one, i even posted a few pics of it. mostly, it consisted of little boys running about like moving shrubs. it was quite cute really, for the beginning part, but after a while the boys and shrubs got a bit repetitive, and plus i was getting a bit annoyed because it was impossible to spot someone/anyone from the clone army. but anyway, as luck would have it, blogger and www.tinypic.com were both being totally uncooperative, so maybe we'll just see that draft when the servers decide to stop acting screwy.

had lunch yesterday with darryl walker and feifei, where most of our conversations consisted of mark suanning them, and thereafter them gripping their cutlery very tightly. there were also a lot of incredulous looks my way and questions of 'how do you put up with him?'. i think it's amusing how everyone thinks that we survive only through mutual insults and fights. we can be nice people too, you know ;)

anyway the other major event is that i've had a change of heart about uni and i think law might not be my first choice after all. we're both doing a job shadowing now which is turning out to be better than expected, and i think that i might actually be able to do to it as a long-term thing and not kill anybody. the chance that my application will get through is like 0.1% though, so this is probably of no consequence. at least as a lawyer i'd get to act hoity toity and have an excuse to be in bitch mood 24/7, and that would definitely be an enjoyable career.

the rest of the week was actually moderately depressing for various reasons, but that's what chocolates and ice cream are for. the other day i discovered this box of handmade belgium pralines in the fridge, and with great cunning and stealth, i have made good progress with them. and things picked up on friday when my girls absolutely thrashed their opponents. they were actually pretty unprepared for the debate because i had been calling in sick (with food poisoning!) for half the week so i was especially proud to see that all my lecturing and black faces had made a difference. then they made me this little collage thingy filled with magazine cuttings, pics, and personal notes cos it was our last session during season, and when they gave it to me i thought i was going to cry! omg it was definitely a near emotional moment there, something which i had totally not expected. i guess this whole coaching deal has actually made me a more mature person, and i do actually think i'll miss the girls.

lastly, movie review!

date movie- totally slapstick, over the top, but a hilarious spoof of all the recent lovey movies. there's a bit of bridget jones, my big fat greek wedding, the wedding planner, hitch, king kong, wedding crashers... and even this pseudo bachelor segment in which the bachelor literally eliminates the girls. the plot may not have been great or even fluent, and there were way too many unbelievable stunts, but all in all it was definitely an enjoyable watch. nothing better for brainless sunday afternoon entertainment!
