Shenanigans!

The IT guys are playing funny buggers with the system today, with their usual notice, ie NONE. So I've been booted out of the work system, and I'm expecing the Net and Lotus to follow shortly. Which makes it hard to, you know, work. Bah. I just hope I saved the last part of the finding I was writing before it happened. House fire, arson by the drama queen woman who lived there who didn't realise pretending to set the house on fire sometimes results in fire and smoke inhalation and dying. *shakes head* No wonder I have no patience these days with hissy fits. Including mine.

Still, free lunch today - there was a function on to celebrate the new scanner that's been donated, one of those nifty gizmoes that takes pictures from all angles. And much with the food. So stuffed right now...

Haircut tonight. This is a very good thing, since I'm much of the straggly at the moment. I'm going into one of the fancy places on Fitzroy Street in an effort to get hair counselling, since I'm totally confused about what actually looks all right. So, hopefully I shall come out with somthing fabulous. That doesn't need three hours of a morning to style.

For the Aussies...

Especially those who missed the advance screenings of Serenity *WOE!* Release date here is September 29th at Hoyts.

I think you can guess where I'll be that day...

Computer's back up and working, and I only lost five lines of the finding, not the entire paragraph. And I've got time for one more, making my total of findings written today four. Go me.

Paying for quality...

Counting down the time before Mel gets here - about an hour and a half to go. *happydances*

Hair appointment today at Toni and Guy on Fitzroy Street. With a hair consultant, no less. Okay, yeah, sounds wanky, but sometimes you have to go for the wanky - ever since I decided to grow my hair out, I've had a series of 'eh' haircuts that haven't really been that good, So, in an effort to get some decent advice, I paid the bigger bucks and got the consultant. The result? One very happy Rossi. Apparently my natural wave is back in style, and it's apparently allowed for me to not use a hairdryer of a morning - tousled is a good thing.

There may be photos at some point, given I have a digital camera and a bunch of people here for the weekend.

Went to the gym tonight too, and feel much better for it. I've been cranky and out of sorts all week, with that damn headache of mine still making the odd appearance even today.

And walking home I got caught in one of Melbourne's spring rainstorms. The air was warm, the rain cold against my shoulders, the drops huge and heavy. I was wet through in moments, but I didn't mind - there might have even been a bit of extra jumping in puddles. There's something so clean about being washed by rain.

Oh, and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]? I know the White Lotus well. *grins* Used to go there with the karate club for dinners a lot.
