Eight things that made me happy today:
+ I got an award at work!!
+ It's Friday!
+ Only 2 more days of work for the year!
+ The weather is gorgeous (it's currently about 23 degrees Celsius, with a lovely blue sky, and only a few fluffy white clouds)
+ Did I mention that the weekend is almost here!?
+ We went to another Christmas lunch, and I had fun laughing at the stupid jokes in the crackers. I find that sort of "dad humour" more amusing than I probably should!!
+ I have the coolest, prettiest, smartest, most awesome dog in the world!
+ I received an email saying that they've shipping my Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog dvd! :)

By the way, everyone should do this meme. I think its therapeutic to have to focus on the things that make you happy.

I'm doing the 8 things that make me happy in 8 days meme. Here's day one:

+ I got petrol for only 89.7 cents a litre! Compared to the 1.70 a litre that it was a while ago, that's fricken awesome!!
+ We had cake for morning tea.
+ The stats that I'm doing at the moment are significant!! YAY!
+ I've been rewatching season 3 of Due South again. I absolutely love it. Oh Callum and Paul, how are you so awesome?
+ I'm re-reading Twilight again. It's my kind of crack!
+ fawkesielady_ed sent me 5 cds of music! (Thanks again hon!)
+ I've finally finished paying off my credit cards and can start saving for my next holiday!
+ I'm going to Sydney in only 38 days!

In other news, where has this year gone? I can't believe it's almost Christmas. I feel so unprepared. I haven't done much shopping yet, and I haven't even thought about Christmas cards. I swear that there must be some kind of crack in the space-time continuum that's making time go quicker for me.

Warning!! - the following information could be the work of the devil - no responsibility is taken by the poster for any misuse!!!

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

( This thing is awesome - it's so quick and easy and very yum - it's a chocolate cake that you make in a mug in the microwave. Seriously! )

Ha!!! Love it!

I have a cold, and I'm feeling pretty crappy. To make myself feel better, I'm watching some comfort TV. Today, my medicine is Buffy. I know, I'm behind on a whole heap of shows, and I should try to catch up, but Buffy is like a nice security blanket when I'm feeling sick.

I'm starting at season 4, and I just watched The Freshman.

Xander: You up for a little reconnaissance?
Buffy: You mean where we all sculpt and paint and stuff?
Xander: No, that was the Renaissance.

Hee! It still makes me laugh!

My Gracey is also a little sick. The poor baby has a skin irritation, which was apparently caused by an allergy. The vet gave her an injection to get rid of the itch, and antibiotics to reduce the irritation. Hopefully she'll be better soon.

SUNDAY: Day 2 of Armageddon

Teasers:


( Commence squeee )

By the way, I have a few videos of Kavan Smith's panel and David Hewlett's panel. If there's a lot of interest, I can upload those for people.

I just got home from my trip to Melbourne for Armageddon. I have no idea where to start. The weekend was just perfect. David Hewlett was everything I hoped he'd be and more, Kavan Smith was gorgeous and fun, and Andee Frizzell and Gary Jones were great too.

I'm going to post a more blow by blow account of the last three days (and photos and maybe even videos), but I'm absolutely exhausted (and have to work tomorrow) so the review probably won't happen tonight.

Before starting to type up my summary insanely long review, I must add that the weekend was made so much more fun thanks to the great company. So, to my lovely Adelaide buddies who made the trek, to my wonderful LJ buddies who I saw again this year and to all of the other random people who I talked to over the weekend, thanks!

Is it too early to start the countdown for next year's Armageddon Expo?

It's been a while since I posted icons. And when I say a while, I mean a LONG time. I've been working on a bunch of text ones lately, but then I watched 5x11 (The Lost Tribe), and had to make icons from THAT scene. You know, the scene near the beginning...

These aren't (in my opinion) spoilery, but I'll put them all behind a cut, just in case.

( 8 icons of THAT scene )

Now I'm going to go shoe shopping! :)
