I will confess now that after something like 6 years, my fangirlness (if there is such a word) towards JCF isn’t as strong as it once was, and the motivation towards here is lacking. I just need to do something with it! It won’t be some magical spectacular update, it’ll just be an admission that I can’t keep up with it anymore. Possibly scaling it down to the bare bones. (Or just make it look right in Opera! Gah. I use Opera and my own site doesn’t even look properly on there, how sad is that?)

Even as I edge closer towards the big 3-0 (I may not look it as others have told me, but it’s true! HA!) the fangirling doesn’t cease. Is this normal? Or is it “once a fangirl, always a fangirl?” I still feel like posting pics like the one below in my blog! That IS the purpose of this blog I suppose, I don’t believe in revealing “too much” personal stuff on here, or talk about work. Unfortunately when I spend most of my days actually at work, the topics outside it are limited. So here you will see fluff (and dust) - which reminds me, I would like to add more photos here eventually.

bought to you by my mother! She left me an apron on my computer chair - why?

ohh yes that’s my shiny new monitor too! After my old friend also died over the weekend, I couldn’t bear it any longer. Actually, it was either buy a new one or use the really old 14 inch.

Anyway, to answer the question why the apron is there - she believes that the increased viewing space will also increase the radiation emission, so yes, I am supposed to wear an apron to minimise the damage.

And no, I refuse to wear it! I might search for a better solution like one of those screen filters.

It’s almost midnight now and I did have intentions of watching the Spain v Russia match (Euro 2008 football/soccer that is) which is starting at around 2am? Got to love the time difference! But at the same time, I’m a bit annoyed at the Spanish coach’s decision to drop the more experienced players (RAUL!) in favour of the less expected choices. [oh let's be fangirl right here and throw a hissy fit about it!!!] Rationally, just looking at the stats alone, I’m sorry Sergio Garcia - how could they pick you (1 previous cap, no goals) rather than Raul (102 caps, 44 goals). Makes no sense to me!

In other news, I have decided not to fork out any more cash for the Twilight series books and will just get them from the library instead. Unfortunately, I also forgot the password so I can’t logon and reserve it. Of course all the copies are out - gah!

No, I’m not quite on it yet!

I’ll confess now that I haven’t actually read a book for a long time. Before the days of the internet (!!! anyone remember?) I used to read a lot more. Not to say I read a book a week or something, but I would read on the way to and from school, before bed etc. Now that is repleaced by the internet, and motion sickness. Some chemical in my brain must’ve changed as I aged, because now I can’t read on buses anymore, argh.

So after hearing a lot about the Twilight series, I decided to give it a try. I know it exists in the “teenage fiction” section, but initially I thought maybe it’s like Harry Potter. Surely, if it’s such a bestseller then grown ups can read it and enjoy it too? I can’t say I disliked it entirely, but I have a skepticism about the romance between Edward and Bella.

After six months of waiting, I finally got to see Michael Bublé last night!

This is the 2nd time I’ve seen him in concert (my post about the 1st one is here!) and he just gets better and better.

It was held at the Entertainment Centre, which has its pros and cons. Pros - more fans can go, tickets are cheaper. Cons - less intimate, less civilised! I was particularly annoyed when some people screamed when Michael was singing without a microphone, arrgghh!!

Highlights: I TOUCHED HIM AND….havehistowel. He threw it when he was coming out for the encore! Actually, I was not co-ordinated enough to catch the towel, my partner in crime did!!! I have it now since I’m the bigger fan loooool.
