:LOL: Sounds entertaining. The review I saw gave it 4/5 stars and said it had everything a blockbuster disaster movie should have, were they right?

I watched 'the boat that rocked' last night. It wasn't bad, got a few giggles out of it.

Oh I really want to see that with my Dad, when we saw the ads for it it looks like it was loosely based on the story of Radio Caroline. Not sure if it actually is, but radio Caroline was a radio station in the 60's that broadcasted from a boat outside of British waters. Apparently the government owned all the radio stations and controlled what people were allowed to listen to, so the only way a new radio station that was a bit 'out there' could play was to broadcast from outside of England.

It was a big hoo ha at the time and so it became a big part of radio history.

That review has made me really want to see this movie. I can't wait. :LOL:

So the sun comes out in Christchurch on the day I leave, and I get back to Auckland and it's raining. :indiff:

I really loved it, I think as long as you don't go into it expecting too much then it's totally enjoyable.

Poo to the rain! I wanted to go for a big walk with the dog, but really don't want to go out in that, so I'm going to watch Harry Potter instead :)

How was the rest of your hoilday?

chips!!!!! Or potatoes, yum, and a massive salad. Give me a few hours Jo, I'll be over for dinner :)

JoBear

15-11-2009, 04:20 AM

was thinking of maybe quartering some potatoes and baking them...salad would be a good idea but lettuce is still pretty expensive and looks disgusting. one day our porch lettuce will be ready to eat!

oh that sounds awesome! It pisses me off how expensive lettuce gets when it's just LEAVES!!!
I had loads in my garden but I didn't pick enough of it and a lot of it got burnt in the sun.

I have epic spring onions though. I must leave them in too long because they are the size of cucumbers. GIANT!!
And they taste awesome, so I have no idea why they don't let the ones in the supermarket get like that.Because the supermarkets focus on making every single fruit and vege look exactly the same size/shape/colour and ignore the fact that TASTE is like, the most important bit :chuckle:

We have a shit tonne of silverbeet in our garden atm, and tomatoes and grapes and apples which'll be ready in like the next couple of months. The strawberries are my favourites though :happy:

JoBear

15-11-2009, 05:52 AM

before i went to the UK, i lived in a flat that had this massive lemon tree out the front and it had massive lemons on it. it's just across the road from this flat actually, have been there to steal some once but there were none. but they were so huge and i made lots of lemon meringue pie. :awesome:

the mushroom sauce was so delicious and so easy too!

Tacticalkat

15-11-2009, 07:07 AM

Yum! One of the things I love about Summer is all the fruit and veg that spring up!
Loads of people at work bring their excess from their gardens into work and my lunches get far more exciting!
Got avocados and tomatoes at the moment! YUM!

JoBear

15-11-2009, 07:15 AM

wish we had a proper place and we had a garden. i'd love to plant potatoes and peas. i always remember as kids getting told off for eating the peas so we'd shell them leaving the pods on the plant or we'd throw the pods over to the neighbours. we've got radishes, a lettuce mix, coriander and two peppers on our wee porch.

in such a cooking mood tonight, just put some peanut brownies in the oven.

I saw my brother in a close up in the crowd, so I taped the final moments to tease him about later.

Was he doing anything embarrassing or being over enthusiastic? :LOL:

I didn't watch it, had a family outing to the movies (always a palavar) and saw 2012. It was the most cheesy over the top thing I have ever seen. At one point it was so so ridiculous that I had tears of laughter runnning down my cheeks and the whole theatre was in an uproar.
The effects were incredible, so I would reccommend it but not with too high expectations or anything! It was very funny!

This is a rhetorical question as I don't want it spoiled, but I don't understand how that movie could have any sort of resolution. Its like, the world is ending, everyone dies, the end? I just don't get it. I suppose I'll have to see the film to find out :LOL:

Yeah, it was pretty much the same here too. My dad told me Hauraki started as pirates to bring all the rock'n roll to NZ :\mm/:

This is true :happy:

I went to town today to try and find a certain book I wanted, since I couldn't find it at the local Whitcoulls. So I went downtown (on my last $5 of petrol) and looked for Dymocks, which resulted in somehow getting inside a tower and going in a lift and ending up on Queen Street :erm: Then I went to Whitcoulls in town and couldn't find it there either. And they've put the scary Santa back up but for some reason its face is all wrapped up! Which makes it even scarier! :LOL: Anyway I went to Borders in defeat, with the parking meter ticking, and it turns out they were having a 3 for 2 fiction sale because it was their birthday celebrations! So I got 3 books for the price of 2, and didn't even have to pay for them because I had vouchers! :happy: SCORE. Aaaand I could have gotten a free coffee from the cafe with my receipt but there was a line so I couldn't be bothered waiting. I didn't get the book I went there for, but it doesn't matter because it was a total deal anyway!

My friend isn't feeling well and doesn't want to go, and it's kind of pointless for me to go on my own because it's on the coast.
Wow you did nothing? Sounds like heaven!! I had five arms today, and then when we finished those they gave us an extra one off the acute board as a reward. DOH.

My day has been extremely lazy. I've done...nothing. :LOL:

Same here. I've been sitting at the computer all afternoon and I'm not sure how the time has flown by so fast, but I guess I have been doing bits and pieces plus deleting a whole lot of old e-mails. I'm looking forward to going out with a friend on Thursday :happy:

Today the air conditioning at work was not working, and even on a moderately warm day it's amazing how hot big buildings like that can get. Actually maybe it isn't that amazing since it's essentially a big concrete block so the heat retention thing is pretty obvious. Still, it was pretty brutal, and I was totally drowsy and unproductive.

Oh dear! That sounds rough as.

swiss ball is fun though i missed my class on saturday as i had to get up at 4am to take my parents to the airport and by the time i got back to sleep it was time to go to class....and that wasn't happening.

work was pretty good today, went a lot faster than normal work!

Omg an actual swiss ball class? I would die!
They make us use them at boxing, you have to lean on one against the wall and basically roll it down the wall and do squats of various heights while punching the crap out of the pads. Death, I tell you!

I bought mine with the full intention of doing pilates and other excercise on it. But I've had it about a year and all I ever do on it is roly polys and try to frog hop on it......

The class isn't too bad. We do alot of squats and lunges with them. The toning we do with them can be the worse part, squeezing between your legs while lying over top of it or just doing pushups overtop of the ball. Actually, think the leg sets are the worse when you have a step and use the ball to balance yourself on your side and lift your leg up, then down and side to side without touching the ground. PAIN.

Richard can attest that my swiss ball at home is mainly used as a foot rest.

EW I just looked down to see a giant white tip spider crawl over my hand. I screamed the house down it gave me such a fright, and I thought it was a scorpian, lol.

My family thought I was being murdered, good old Dad saved me from it.

I'm not usually a girl who screams over bugs but holy crap it was big, and it touched meee! :eek:

I loved my flat on the dixon street steps (about 2 minutes from vic), and my flattie. I only met her on the doorstep as I was moving in but we hit it off. She heard me playing muse and interpol, when I was organising my bedroom and the rest was history.

I probably can't due to lack of funds. Extreme lack of funds :( Still searching for a job. I have about $2 worth of petrol in my car and today my mum asked if I had any change to buy some milk with. She's going for a job interview soon so hopefully we will both be employed soon!

Sweet. :happy:

Haha, heaps of my Facebook friends have suddenly become fans of the All Whites. Bunch of bandwagoners.

Same :LOL: They are moochers.

I once had a big moth flap against the window when I was in the bathroom, scared the beejebus out of me. To this day I still glance at that window in dreadful anticipation when I'm in there :LOL:

I can't wait to go flatting! I'm so ready to move out. I just need money (ofc). Basically none of my friends are ready to go flatting yet though which is really annoying. I want to move out of home and start living a proper student life but they're all into staying at home and spending the weekends hanging out at someone's house rather than going out partying!

Usually, yeah. I figure the beeping of the phone will alert them to my messages, and the only way to make it beep more is to send more messages. I'd probably recommend keeping it to people you know well enough to get away with it though- if you can't send them a message saying 'oi bitch txt me' then you don't know them well enough :LOL:

yeah i had a really bad experience flatting with a friend. only time i did. otherwise i've flatted with randoms, my sister (interesting times...) and of course oren. :LOL:

don't get couples with live with other people - wouldn't you want your own place and space? there's two of you to share costs afterall.

I don't get it either. My friends who just got married live with another girl, that would drive me mental! I could not live with a married couple, yeugh!
I'm fine being single, but having it rubbed in my face everyday would not be fun!

It wasn't a bitey one, very small fangs. It was a flat, grey one. I found it quite cute when it lifted one of its front legs higher so it looked like it was tilting its head and thinking 'what the f**k is going on here?' :LOL:

Yeah I know what you mean :( Moths are very difficult to handle. When I had a friend over she got a bit freaked when a big one came flying around the lounge. I eventually got it safely in my hands to let it outside.

Oh I don't mind cute ones that don't try and bite! I like those cute spiney ones that look like a bird has pooed on them :)

I could imagine fights and stuff being really awkward if you were the other person.

Was it a Raukatauri? One of the massive green ones whose english name I don't know?

I love those. I hate it when my cat decides they're fair game. They're really rather beautiful.

Argh I have to write this horrendously awkward letter tomorrow asking for my dad's name suppression to please not be lifted because it would have an adverse effect on me if it was. Eloquently. Fudgesicles.

Oh fark dude that sounds massive. Hope that it goes well for you, I can't believe they would even try and lift it!!!

I probably can't due to lack of funds. Extreme lack of funds :( Still searching for a job. I have about $2 worth of petrol in my car and today my mum asked if I had any change to buy some milk with. She's going for a job interview soon so hopefully we will both be employed soon!

I have 33 messages on my Facebook :stunned:

I am more than happy to buy you a drink, if you can get there! Would be nice to have you there!

It is even more disappointing when its notifications from apps.

This. Drives me mental when I see five notifications, get excited and then see not a single one is from a real person!

Which is why I just left a message on my friend's facebook :happy: But usually when I message people, a certain friend in particular always does this, they never message me back. I'm like 'its give and take here people!'. It's particularly annoying when you leave a link and then wait with enthusiasm for them to watch it.

Man I hate that, and like the one I just got, a friend in Aus that I don't talk to often put pics of her kids up, I messaged her to tell her how gorgeous they are and that I hope her and the family are well. The reply I got made me wonder why I bother "oh so you ARE still alive? I haven't heard from you in so long thought you had fallen off the face of the earth"

I remembered why I don't keep in touch too much, the last time I called her she was all like "hello stranger" and I realised this has happened the last four times I made contact. Um hello? She could call or message me? She doesn't work at all, so surely she could find five mins when the kids are napping to message me?

Grrrr.

Come in when it starts? Stay all day? Various stages?

It's all one day. The main stage I think starts at 12 and goes until 10:30 (Muse will play last and for the longest), but the other stages (there are 3 others) start earlier and finish later.

You can turn up any time, but it's quicker to get in if you get there early.

Quick question for everyone - how would you spell w(h)ackjob? H or no h? Two words or one word?

Just asking because it's a word used to describe Sarah Palin in a news story about her I'm typing up. :chuckle: Others are knucklehead (which is in the dictionary!), joke, strange breed and confused.

Hmmmm, I imagine that it is probably meant to be spelt 'whackjob' but I think I would spell it 'wack job' like "WOAH THIS SHIT IS WACK!"

LOL How did you spell it?

_Ed_

17-11-2009, 08:09 AM

Went for whack job in the end - BBC.co.uk spelt it that way. It's not too late to change it if someone comes and makes a convincing argument though!

That depends on who the security person is. Some are pretty lax and some are really thorough. But I wouldn't risk it.

Tickets are between $130 and $140. Can't remember exactly.

i used to be so strict on best before and expiry dates but now i'm always seduced by the "clearance" signs at supermarkets which is usually date related or end of line stock.

one time i was drinking milk and realised it was 3 days out of date, disgusted i got out another bottle and that tasted worse and was 3 days in. so i drunk the out of date stuff.

my hall at uni was the best, we had a milk bladder in a machine which kept it ice cold. i miss it. ice cold milk is the best milk.:yesey:

I've always been told it's best to buy the cheeses that are reduced - like, if you're buying the fancy shmancy ones - because older cheeses are yummier. Then I saw that what's really in our food show about cheese...

When I was 15 my brother told me to "be nicer" to my aunts because I upset them when I was a bitch to them. If they weren't so horrible to my mum, I wouldn't be a bitch though. Seriously, Goneril and Regan comparisons have been made by outside observers. And I'm so over family.

Last night my brother announced he never wants to hear from any of us ever again. He's suffering from illusions of Stepford suburban grandeur now that he's all grown up and has a girlfriend who plays bagpipes :rolleyes:

Blah. Sorry for the rant! I kinda went on an organisation/holiday tangent...

The Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow! :awesome:

So I'm going to a party next week with a music videos theme. That should provide loads of possibilities, but I'm really struggling to come up with good ideas. Any suggestions?

Kanye West in any of his videos? :erm:

Goneril is such an ugly name. We had to study that play in 7th form and seriously every time someone in class would be like 'that name is ugly'.

We went to King Lear when the Royal Shakespeare Comp came to NZ in like 2008. It was pretty damn epic, though given the startled barks of laughter the audience gave when they recognised something familiar - yet completely out of context with what was happening in the story - I kinda think most people just went to see Ian McKellen in the buff :facepalm:

A penis costume, then?:LOL:

Damn it I'm tired. But I only managed to sleep between 7 and 11 this morning, so...

:awesome:

I officially finish work at 7, but if I'm not doing the news I could sneak out early. You, Michelle and Kitty (if we can coerce her into joining us!) could aim for 6:30 or so maybe? And I could come and join you whenever I get away - my work is only about a 5 min walk away.

Sounds good to me. Just looking at train timetable again I realised the train doesn't come out my way on Sunday's. I asked my mum if they'll take me and she didn't say no, so I'll just take that as a yes.

I made maple walnut icecream (technically a frozen parfait though...) and meringues with the left over egg whites this afternoon. There are so many meringues though.

Rove was a bit sad though since it was the last one.
Oh really? Didn't know that. That's a shame.

My ankle pain became more defined after walking around yesterday so I better use it as an excuse to sit down and do my assignment this weekend :rolleyes:
Probably. Ankle pain sounds nasty. What caused that?

Oh really? Didn't know that. That's a shame.

Yeah, basically Rove was the one who decided he'd had enough.

Probably. Ankle pain sounds nasty. What caused that?

I think it must be the ankle I twisted on my last field trip, but for some reason I thought it was the other one. But anyway, it just randomly went sore when exercising Monday night, then when walking home last night there was more pain in the back of the ankle when bending it. So I think it is probably the lower part of the achilles tendon or something in that region and now I walk slightly retarded so I don't bend my foot when walking :rolleyes:

Huh. What a sticky day for baking. I had a teaspoon of icecream to try and it was good, but I think most of the walnuts have sunk to the bottom. I'll blame my mum since she was the one chopping them up :chuckle:

Anyway, good night everyone. Hope you all have a good weekend! :)

JoBear

20-11-2009, 10:25 AM

oh dear, i iced the cake and its quite warm still and the icing has all slid off the cake. lucky the plate its sitting on is lipped so it isn't all over the bench.

20-11-2009, 11:18 AM

Ooh, interesting. Wish I had Discovery Channel. It's been a quiet night of tv for myself too. Rove was a bit sad though since it was the last one. Tv got dull though so came to the computer but I'm not making much progress with slow internet.

My ankle pain became more defined after walking around yesterday so I better use it as an excuse to sit down and do my assignment this weekend :rolleyes: Good thing I bandaged it today though else it would be covered in teeth and claw marks from my mum provoking the cat at my grandma's resthome with my shoe laces.

And meringue fail. Recipe said to take them out before going brown but they weren't cooked properly and stuck to the baking paper. I put them back in on a lower temermature for ages so hopefully when I get them out of the oven tomorrow they'll be better..Damn. Sorry about your ankle. Hope the meringues work out!

oh dear, i iced the cake and its quite warm still and the icing has all slid off the cake. lucky the plate its sitting on is lipped so it isn't all over the bench.This ALWAYS happens to me because my family get superbly impatient when cakes are baked, so I ice them too early because otherwise people in my house tend to hack into un-iced, unattended, freshly baked cakes with spoons :facepalm:

Argh. I'm feeling kind of vile tonight because I didn't get to sleep until 7am today, and woke up at 11, and it's 1am and I'm still up and urgh.

On the bright side I've just watched The Darjeeling Limited which is just made of win :happy:

Sucky. Hope you sleep soon!

I refused to drive 20km to the shops today (I've started driving properly! :awesome:) because I felt tired, and thought I might sleep, but it didn't happen. It wasn't like we needed anything urgently. I didn't, anyway. I don't smoke and so hadn't run out of cigarettes :cool:

My mum is often like this :LOL: If I hear her going to the bathroom or something my typing slows down as I attempt to be quiet, and then speeds up again when she's gone back to bed :LOL: I think she can probably hear me later at like 3am when I put the cats outside and brush my teeth and stuff :LOL:

Nice work with the baking Jo! And I hope Michelle's meringues work out. I would have no idea how to make a frozen treat like that. My mum made muffins the other day only it was a different recipe than usual so they didn't rise very much and ended up being quite dense :chuckle:

Ugghh!
But you made banana cake! YUM!

I went out with some girlfriends to celebrate my exam win, first time I've drunk anything for about four months, so I was a total lightweight and we bought cocktails ! :LOL:

I bumped into my long time ex who I haven't seen since we broke up over two years ago, which was weird. And then he sat down with us and started chatting like nothing ever happened, which was weird! And we ended up having to leave and he seemed to want to come with us, noooo!
It was strange seeing him because he seemed exactly the same, but I felt like a totally different person to who I was when I was with him, and I couldn't see what I used to see in him.
I got home at 4 am, how disgusting!!!!

Sucks about your ankle! Though hopefully it's not as bad as you think?

Yeah, it probably isn't that bad but I bet it'll just randomly pop up sometimes to annoy the crap out of me. It's not so sore today, just feels weird. It was clicking last night though after testing it out without the bandage :erm:

Hopefully it'll be alright as it looks like I will be going to see my dotterels from Thursday to Friday to see how it is all setup and where the nests are. :happy:

Aww that's sweet of you. My grandma only gives extra flowers to other residents if they have been good :LOL:

My meringues are better now and the icecream is good. I was right in that most of the nuts were clumped near the bottom. I remembered while eating it that on the tv program they toasted the walnuts before chucking them in, we did not. Will need to adjust the recipe print out.

This was one of the youtube comments, which I quite like.

Don't you people get it? This video is just a parody on R&B music. The wires mean that the music is not real, it's fake or mostly computer programmed.
The girl represents all the stupid girls who dance in R&B videos and look like they're prostitutes.
The lyrics in the background show how much the R&B scene lacks of imagination. Everything is done explicitly instead of there being a greater meaning to it.
Overall great song

That's fair enough. Maybe we might do something else before BDO, and you could come along then...a Shadows night, maybe? :D I know they're open for most of the summer break. That avoids financial issues too. :LOL:

I'm good thanks. I just had my break, bought a coffee and listened to such songs as Uprising and MK Ultra. I am now extremely alert. :LOL:

I'm fine thanks. Ended up watching Indiana Jones (newest one) this afternoon during lunch, a long lunch :LOL:.

It's cold though. Australia is still hogging the heatwave to itself.

Neither did I, until this year. But then I had an exam one morning after only about 5 hours of sleep, so I was desperate for some sort of boost, and it worked brilliantly - got an A-. Now I'm hooked!

Haha, She-Hulk. Herlk? Femulk?

i'm just doing a allyson gofton recipe with the tried and true red wine. we had a small bottle for ages that my brother gave me. i don't drink red willingly so good to finally do something with it.

my parents bought me two bottles of white wine from brother up last week as a thank you then bought me stuff yesterday, including putting petrol in my car. they can stay anytime. i did take them out for lunch earlier, went to a cafe that smokes its own meats. the whole place smelt delicious and smoky.

You know, just a little while ago, I was a firmly committed non-user of that awesome face. But it's just so appropriate so often.

Yeah, in one of the ads they are trying to make meat without animals and the guy to taste it didn't look impressed when they asked if it tasted like beef :chuckle:

Wine is suppose to be good for marinades too.

That cafe sounds good too!

That is true, but there might be some real-life situations in which it might be quite inappropriate.

Michelle

22-11-2009, 03:35 AM

the marinade is just red wine, garlic cloves crushed, cracked paper and mustard. just frying some mushrooms in butter, might add bit of wine to that as well for fun. don't feel bad experimenting when its just me eating it. i'm always worried if i'm cooking for oren too he'll hate it.

Sounds good, I usually just put teryaki marinade on my steak. Lately I have been marinating chicken for kebabs with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, honey and mustard from a recipe my mum found, it's pretty good.

Captain America is the opposite of Wonder Woman. And Catwoman was a villain so she doesn't need a male equivalent- only heroes need someone similar of the opposite gender :LOL:

Eww on foodinaminute, the Wattie’s Heat ‘n’ Eat Steakhouse Burger Patties look disgusting. Any frozen that you microwave for 2 minutes is gross. It's not like making burger patties is that hard and probably a hell of a lot cheaper than those.

Oh man, last night when we got back to my friend's place, I took my hair down and it was so matted :LOL: It had been teased and then put up in a bun and when it was out it became like one giant dread :LOL: Me and my friends laughed so hard, it was hysterical. I had a Matthew Bellamy moment in that I tried to say something and then laughed at the end so what I was saying came out as a kind of laughing squeak :LOL:

Edit: have fun you guys! Take pictures! :happy:
