I hang out with a four-year-old and a few other salacious things happen.

Four-year-olds are farkin’ hilarious. If you ever get a chance to hang out with one, you should.

Today, my friend and her son came out to my place for a swim and cheesecake. The swim was absolute bliss, because the temperature was something like 32 today. Uncomfortable.

Anyway, the four-year-old just has so much energy, it’s ridiculous. He gets one idea in his head and he has to do it, regardless of what his mother says. He also has no fear of water. It was actually a nightmare trying to keep him away from the pool, which is way over his head, until we were ready to go in with him.

He then has this thing he likes to do called Run Rabbit. Basically, it’s the song Run Rabbit and he takes a massive run up and jumps into the pool. Also, does anybody remember noodles? They’re like these long foam things that you take in the pool, quite good for flotation. Some of the ones we have, have holes through them and the four-year-old quickly discovered that you can get water in it and then blow one end and aim it at someone. He’s a fast learner. Needless to say, we got wet.

However, after spending only a few minutes in the pool, the four-year-old got quite cold, he is quite scrawny and short for his age, so we had to get out of the pool. Being after Christmas and New Years, there were still a few treats in the cupboard. So I offered him a few biscuits, chocolate among them, and he picks the plain ones – like shortbread. What four-year-old doesn’t go for the chocolate biscuits?

What a weird child.

Anyway, Friend and I took him to his Grandmother’s to stay, so we could hang out a bit more. While she was getting him sorted for an overnight stay, I took to twitter. Massive conversations ensued.

Firstly, I had a dream about twitter people last night. One in particular and that is all I’m going to say here. Got lots of advice from people, still undecided.

But when you start dreaming about people you have never met, maybe it is time for a break? This weekend, I aim to spend less time on twitter. If any at all.

The other conversation that ensued was something that Friend brought up. Why do guys like boobs? They have a purpose to provide milk to babies etc, but what is the fascination that guys have with them?

Needless to say, a lot of people had an opinion. The consensus was that they are, in fact, awesome. But getting down to the specifics, they have been highly sexualised in our culture and it is a sub-conscious thought for most guys.

So ladies, you’re walking down the street, it’s pretty much guaranteed every dude is looking at your chest.

Many people brought up the fact that a nice pair is an indicator of good fertility. So it really does come back to that basic principle that the male sex is looking for the best partner to carry on their seed. Which brings in those, mostly, African cultures. Boobs are not sexualised at all. They are milk tankers and nothing else. In these cultures, they are also lacking in bras, so they tend to sag quickly and are not “nice” like ours.

WHAT A FASCINATING CONVERSATION. THANKS TWITTER.

So after dropping off the four-year-old, friend and I did a mish to the supermarket, where we had a few “hot boy” moments. There was one stocking the fizzy drinks, then there was a man in uniform, a cop to be exact.

Today really turned into frisky Friday. I blame Friend.

After eating dinner, we watched I Love You, Man. The funny thing was, that I cannot for the life of me remember when I had seen it, but I definitely have. Is totally going to bug me now. Totes McGoats.

So wasn’t that a fun filled day, aye?

Anyway, soz for the super long post… lataz on the menjayyyyyyyyy.

I pronounce myself as MAJOR AWESOME *salutes*

Today has been rather hectic.

I made a cheesecake – caramel and chocolate for dessert tonight and also three salads, which kept me in the kitchen most of the day.

I even discussed with @mitchyyyyy about sending him a cake. He was worried their courier would eat it, but I suggested hiding it in a book. This plan will come to fruition. Mitchyyyyy-moo will get his cake. Honest.

I am quite exhausted and all gross because of that whole sweating while cooking thing. I’ll tell you, boiling potatoes in 28 degree heat is really unpleasant.

I would totes make someone a good wife, the only thing I ask of you is to remove me from this hell hole I call Hastings. Seriously. Any takers?

I was even a good granddaughter and went and retrieved my grandparents from Napier airport because they returned today from two weeks in Sydney.

AM I AWESOME OR WHAT?

However, I did break the cardinal rule of fashion and wore leggings as pants today. Not for exercise, but out in public. You should shun me, honestly shuuuuun, shuuuuuuu-uuu-uuuuun. But, a slight reprieve, I had a long glassons singlet on and my long collar shirt – they tend to cover everything worth flashing. I kept my dignity. I’m a lady.

So finally, I am able to sit down. I’ve just been go-go-go all day. Although not as busy as I would be if I was working, it was a busy day for this unemployed schmuck.

But now, I have to put my brain in gear and write some cover letters. JOY OF JOYS.

Rule 34.

Last night we discovered there is Captain Planet porn. Yes there really is. I’m not going to put it on here, but you’re quite welcome to google it for yourself.


This just really does confirm Rule 34, which I also learned last night.


Urban Dictionary describes it as: “generally accepted internet rule that states that pornography or sexually related material exists for any conceivable subject.


I did a lot of learning didn’t I? THANKS TWITTER.


I ventured into town today, went to the hairdresser to go buy my GHD straightener, but they were a bit more than I planned for – $359. However, it does come with a travel hairdryer and this really cool antique looking mirror. So I might just take the plunge and buy it. Which means I have to pull $59 out of my ass.


Fingers crossed for that job aye! Which I had the interview confirmed today. One job interview in Wellington on Monday. Yippee!


Then went to Pak’n’sav and I have to say, love the self check-outs. Although the check-out people are there to do it for you, they make awkward small talk, which I really didn’t have the time for, or care for.
So I slipped through the self check-out and didn’t have to talk to a single soul in the supermarket. I’d classify that as a win. Everybody in supermarkets annoy me.


Got my marks back for my photography assignment – 7/10. On to the next one then!


Went for a walk and played nice with some of the local mongel mob that were sifting round the streets of Flaxmere.
So here I am, sitting around like a lazy bum again watching Two and a half Men, which I can’t for the life of me, figure out why.


But tonight, I’m going to get some more job applications done, just in case, yanno. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket type thing and possible hit up some more photography. Also contemplating watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, because apparently TVNZ are not playing it on Sunday, but skipping straight to Goblet of Fire.


You must watch them in order! So says the God that is JK Rowling.


And according to Rule 34, there must be Harry Potter porn. Think about that one.


Ew.

Warning: shutter bug approaching.

Today, today. What have I done today? Is it weird that I don’t really remember?

I don’t remember what time I got up, all I know is it was after midday. Absolutely shocking.

What I did do, and spent most of the afternoon/evening on (until now, when I’m writing this thrilling review of my day) was finally dig out my photography notes and get the camera going.
I managed to complete another module. *happy claps*

It’s only taken me several months. I’m not going to tell you the exact number because that is far too embarrassing.
However, my job was to blame. Didn’t have much free time to do it when I was working, but now I’m not so I have the time. Also thinking that if I’m to get another job, I’ll not have the time again so I need to try and get through as much as possible before that said thing happens.

So this week is a week full of photography. Good oh.

I’m going to take a mental picture of you all. *click*

You can look at my photos if you know where to go. *cough* tumblr *cough*

The end is nigh.

It has been 12 years, seven books and seven movies. Come July, it will be eight, with part two of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

I finally got to see part one last week and it was better than I could ever have imagined. There was just something about it, that made it so much better than the previous six. It could have been the pacing of not having to rush and able to put more detail in, because of the split into two movies, or it could have been the much improved acting. Or, not being stuck within Hogwarts.

I think on this one David Yates was able to be a bit more creative with the set and locations and he seems to be one of the better directors the movies have had. Also playing a part, was probably JK Rowling being a producer on the film – the first she has actively been involved in.

All in all, it is a fantastic start to the finish of a series of movies which have defined our generation.

July cannot come fast enough.
