so one thing i love about my current living situation: realising that the basket of washing that's been sitting on my computer chair (in my bedroom) for like a week can be moved to the middle of my living room floor. and there's noone to yell at me :)

the tragic part of this story is that, again, i am the only one who does the washing up around here. ugh. can't even believe the injustice of it all...

in other news, i'm trying life without capitals.

i've also decided that proshy 09 is not for me. which was a really hard decision to make, and i was quite disappointed. howevs as soon as i let that "want" float off into the enternal sea of helium baloons lost in the sky, i decided to take a week of annual leave (previously hoarded in case of urgent b'desh trip).

best. decision. ever.

things have taken a decidedly fantastical turn for the better :o)

p.s. plus sarah is pregnant, which is super-awesome!! Congratulations S&H - i would even break my capitals rule for this kind of celebration (albeit a temporary one)! i love knowing that there's a teeny tiny jellybean of a person in her tummy - a whole entire complex beautiful amazing person planned, known and loved by god. and we haven't even met them yet!

Proshy...what?

Proshikkon. Adventures with Bible story-telling - in Bangladesh!! I was made aware of Proshikkon some time ago; Quite a cruel thing, to wave the hope of another B'desh trip under one's nose. *sigh* I hope by God's grace hurdles will be overcome and I can go visit our persevering brothers and sisters in beloved B'desh. Lots of prayer and thoughtful consideration to be done.

Last time things happened so quickly, it all seemed so spur of the moment, I made a huge decision on a whim (an unfortunate habit of mine!) amongst a flurry of hurried uni work, many hours labouring at a fortuidous casual Easter job, the operations on my wrists. I was terribly sick during and for a long time after, I missed my friends and my family, it was hot and sweaty and rainy and what one would generally consider to be miserable weather. But I loved every minute. It was so right. Especially meeting Jami, who was so desparately in need of encouragement and solid christian fellowship when the eight of us flooded into the guest house. She is a joy to know, and no doubt an enduring friend. It was God's work in His time for eternal purposes. I can only hope that this turns out to be another call!

Choose your own adventure

Tonight I sat on my couch and systematically picked through the plot chasms encountered during the first pre-ad break section of the hit Disney "movie" Cats and Dogs.




Then I realised what I was doing. At this time Alias seemed like a much better option. Cue: an awesomely choreographed fight scene and the poetic beauty of Sidney's outfit perfectly matching the monochromatic golden hues of her escape route.


Then I got mad at Will for just not letting Danny's death go - I mean, she told you to leave it alone, so just leave it alone!! Now that blonde agent it going to die and all because stoopid "i'm going follow my gut and be an investigatory journalist" Will. Not that I like the blonde agent, she's a bit flakey and not a good character at all, but still: I hate that guy. and NO: he is NOT good looking so that doesn't even make up for him being so stoopid. ugh.


I can't even see Francie as "good" anymore - not after what we went through in Season Two. She'll always be crazy double girl now. Which isn't so sad because she's kind of whingey and self-absorbed anyway, so in the end I'm content to dislike her character too. I think that might be why I like Season 3 so much - no more Will and Francie. But then Sid's sister turns up and she's kind of all "ooh - I'm such a free spirit. Ain't nobody gonna chain me down to no CIA or chair so they can inject green jelly into my arm to enable me to relay Rambaldi's secret message encoded on my DNA" yeah. That's a plausible storyline.


(I felt so ripped off at the end of the new Indiana Jones btw - but won't talk about it now cos a know people haven't had a chance to see it yet and might get mad for "ruining" the "ending")


At the end of the day I really only like Sidney and Vaughn. and Weiss. I'm glad Weiss got into Heroes. Might work on seeing season two of that once my current Alias re-visit is done. I'm really tempted to skip to season 3 now actually. Just remembered it's really annoying with her mum and the violins playing all the time in S2. hmm... i'll probably just plod on through most of it though, skipping the boring parts - like when you're trying to watch the BBC P&P in a short amount of time - aside from ffwd through Mr Darcy's first proposal and Mr Collins' you can also just skip the entire Wickham/Lydia sub-plot and you can practically cut out like two hours! Plus you get the added benefit of pretending neither Wickham or Lydia ever actually ever existed! Although Darcy's help in redeeming the scandal of their elopement does kind of add an essential depth to his character... hmm... anyway, I'm off to bed to read my copy of "Create your own Jane Austen Adventure". Definite contender for best present ever - Cheesy attempt at "bringing literature alive" meets Austen.


Will you escape from the ghost-infested theme-park with scary hall of mirrors and broken roller coasters? Will you ever find you way out of the haunted forest full of bears and lunatic park rangers and booby traps? Will you be able to manouver your way through your suddenly zombie-invested high school which for some reason you're visting on the night of a full moon? Will you make it to the dirt-biking championships? Take control. Be Elizabeth Bennet.

The Comeback

The last week or so I've been dying to blog. So here I am. I had questions, but now I've forgotten. I have lots going on, but too much to tell. Perhaps some prose shall do for now; just some nothing words to break the silence.
