Anyone else remember that movie Splash?

Cause i watched it today. Tom Hanks in his uber-thin days. Not that i didn't enjoy it as much as i did when i was like 12. I'm lovin' Daryl Hannah's hair though - so mermaid-esque. If only my hair was as mermaid-like as Daryl's.





So, things I've done this weekend. It began with me scamming multiple glasses of champagne and various other cocktails (...alright, and dinner too...) from my good friend Milo. Hey, he owed me anyway. (let me justify it...) And being the generally good bloke he is, he did let me milk it as much as i possibly could, and being the (sometimes) excessive drinker i am, i certainly did. I should point out that Miles has a disturbingly free and easy relationship with my mother, which he has met once. On that occasion, they discussed porn, as you do. My mother thinks him to be very handsome, and they have flirted with each other over the phone and in my presence on more than once occasion. I know. Gross. Apparently it's all in good fun. But still. Ew. Whatever rocks your socks Mum.





Alrighty, moving along. Saturday i did not manage to arise before 12.30pm due to the previous nights excesses. However, i did have to drag myself up eventually because we were playing hosts that evening to my cousins Daniel and Romina (and bean!). So, shopping was in order, or we would have nothing to feed them. It was such a beautiful, sunny day, perfect weather for a late afternoon BBQ, which we all enjoyed. There is nothing like eating outside on a Summer evening, even though it's not technically Summer. Then we retired inside to watch New Zealand make it through to the soccer World Cup for only the second time in their history, which was very exciting for Jo. Watch out world! New Zealand is coming!





And today? Today, i did nothing but watch 80s movies and read. Actually i am reading a very interesting book about Hurricane Katrina right now, so that's kept me going a number of hours. We did go for a drive with the intention of going to the beach, but the nice weather had everyone else thinking the same thing, so it was way too busy to bother finding a parking spot. Plus, i have now officially finished watching season 10 of SVU and i have 7 episodes of season 11 awaiting me! How exciting (for noone but me...)




So. I have noooo other news. Oh wait, here is some news - I'm putting up Christmas trees at my parents place AND here at our place next weekend! Ohhhh the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in our little household my friends, and there will be pictures of holiday fun for you to enjoy soon enough. I have already bought Jack's Christmas presents, and i have a long list of others to buy too - i am determined to get in early this year (this will not happen.) But the stores are ablaze with lights and trees and decorations, and David Jones have their Christmas window displays up and running, which Leah and I checked out last week. Or the week before. I can't remember, but anyway, there they were. Martin Place is having their Christmas Tree lighting festival in the next week or two too. See peeps? So much Christmas fun to be had! Stay tuned for yuletide updates from next weekend. It IS the most wonderful time of the year, after all.
