Hard to keep still

I think I must have put my dancing feet on this morning by mistake. I've been bouncing around in my chair all morning, toes tapping, head bobbing, indulging in the occasional spin in my chair when no-one's watching (I hope)... I'm not interested in work on the best of days, but today I ought to be outside.

It's enough to make me quit my job and go off and pick fruit somewhere in Queensland. *grins*

Part of the fizzy feeling is probably X-Men related. Off to see the film tonight, which is looking better and better, especially after the SBS Movie Show gave it three and a half stars - from both David and Margaret. For them to a) agree, adn b) give more than 2 stars to something as blatantly Hollywood as X-2, well, it has to be something pretty cool.

Speaking of coolness, the Matrix sequels are premiering here on the 16th of May. And after seeing the trailer last night on the (part) episode of Buffy I taped, I'm excited all over again. After seeing the fight scenes, I don't really care if the script is no more than Dick and Jane quality, I'm still going to go see it. Possibly not the weekend it comes out, since Amanda will be here and there are Other Plans for that, but the weekend after, which actually doesn't have anything planned yet. Which, considering the state of my social calender for May, is pretty amazing. :) Busy birthday month for me! :)

The blood test went great last night - not even a bruise this morning, and the most painful moment was when I took the tape holding the cotton wool over the hole off last night. Ouch! The results will be through late Friday, so I must remember to call the doctor. Here's hoping it's not all in my head. ;)

Hmm, lessee, what else can I talk about to delay my having to do work... *grins* Hmm, movie fun, doctor's appointment... We're having a wine and beer night tomorrow night after work, which could either be a lot of fun or a lot of damage, or both. ;) And Saturday I'm getting a house call from my friendly local bike mechanic - BRM is dropping in on his way to his parents' place for the weekend. In return for a statutory declaration he needs for work, Cecil gets a service. Which is probably well-needed after some of the nasty bumps I've been hitting lately. Damn tram tracks near the corner of William and La Trobe Streets...

Okay, better do something useful now. Or at least get offline before I get a cautionary email. You lot all know my work email - distract a public servant today!

I think I've done someting like this before...

...but Doqz was asking why people didn't say more positive things about their own countries. So, for you, Umberto. ;)


What It Means To Be Aussie

1. The bigger the hat , the smaller the farm.
2. The shorter the nickname, the more they like you.
3. Whether it's the opening of Parliament, or the launch of a new art gallery, there is no Australian event that cannot be improved by a sausage sizzle.
4. If the guy next to you is swearing like a wharfie he's probably a media billionaire. Or on the other hand, he may be a wharfie.
5. There is no food that cannot be improved by the application of tomato sauce.
6. On the beach, all Australians hide their keys and wallets by placing them inside their sandshoes. No thief has ever worked this out.
7. Industrial design knows of no article more useful than the plastic milk crate.
8. All our best heroes are losers.
9. The alpha male in any group is he who takes the barbecue tongs from the hands of the host and blithely begins turning the snags.
10. It's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to hold.
11. It is proper to refer to your best friend as "a total bastard". By contrast, your worst enemy is "a bit of a bastard".
12. If it can't be fixed with pantyhose and fencing wire, it's not worth fixing.
13. The most popular and widely praised family in any street is the one that has the swimming pool.
14. It's considered better to be down on your luck than up yourself.
15. The phrase "we've got a great lifestyle" means everyone in the family drinks too much.
16. If invited to a party, you should take cheap red wine and then spend all night drinking the host's beer. (Don't worry, he'll have catered for it).
17. The phrase "a simple picnic" is not known. You should take everything you own. If you don't need to make three trips back to the car, you're not trying.
18. On picnics, the Esky is always too small, creating a food versus grog battle that can only ever be resolved by leaving the salad at home.
19. Unless ethnic or a Pom, you are not permitted to sit down in your front yard, or on your front porch Pottering about, gardening or leaning on the fence is acceptable. Just don't sit. That's what backyards are for.
20. When on a country holiday, the neon sign advertising the Motel's pool will always be slightly larger than the pool itself.
21. There comes a time in every Australian's life when he/she realises that the Aerogard is worse than the mozzies.
