This girl’s favourite nephew lives in Melbourne. Truth be told, she’s not met the nephew in person (the last time she visited her cousin was still pregnant, and the last time he visited this girl was ill so she stayed away from the baby.), but her cousin posts his pictures onto a daily blog so [...]

the girl thing
Posted in Life in the Town House, the boy on May 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Its a misnomer that girs don’t like pretty girls. To the contrary, base on this girl’s experience, girls are rather accepting of good looking girls, finding them pleasing to the eye as well. It doesn’t mean we want to go up to them, snog them or sleep with them; but women can appreciate a pretty [...]
the Britain’s got talent hunt

This girl and The Boy love to watch Britain’s Got Talent (on youtube since they don’t get it on TV or cable). Yes, over American Idol- they think America votes stupidly sometimes; and over America’s Got Talent since the show has David Hasselhoff who’s really OTT stupid. So over the weekend, they spent far too [...]

The whole Susan Boyle phenom has taken the world by storm and many are touting that she’d win the latest season of Britain’s got talent. This girl has watched the youtube video of the broad (how English is that word!) when The Boy read about her on a news channel. And truthfully, she’s pretty amazing [...]
a mice tale
Posted in life learnings, tagged celebrity, characters, death, donald duck, mickey, mickey mouse, minnie mouse, voice on May 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
While Mickey Mouse is a childhood icon, this girl was never really a fan of the Hollywood rodent, prefering Donald Duck instead. The underware-less fowl (though he wears a towel to cover his modesty after he takes a bath) is funnier, more absurd and ultimately more entertaining.
Anyway, this girl read a news article that the [...]

This girl has fallen in love with Wordle. As the site says: Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you [...]
lessons from golf

The Parents, The Boy and this girl have a standing arrangement to play golf every Sunday. The Father will book them a slot at one of the five golf courses their clubs own and they’d play couple vs couple with the score pretty even thus far. They are all kind enough to give this girl [...]
tv junkie
Posted in just me, tagged bones, criminal minds, favourites, Jon & Kate plus 8, lie to me, ncis, tv on May 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This girl is a TV junkie; insofar that while she doesn’t clock that much tv air time, she does tend to follow some series rather religiously.
1. Bones
Bones is a essentially a crime fighting show featuring a slightly social inept but highly brilliant forensic anthropologist called Temperance Brennan and her desert Storm veteran, decorated FBI agent [...]
timely intervention
Posted in GOoD things, emo-ments on May 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It was a particularly difficult day today for this girl. No, there’s no particular reason; she’s just feeling like the weight on her shoulders are a little more than she can bare. She did her best to not snap at anyone, to be productive and level headed. She battled a mini meltdown, managed incessant demands [...]
things you learn about life from babies
Posted in GOoD things, adventure, friends, life learnings, new things, tagged friends, kids, life learnings on May 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One supposes that this girl is at the age where her friends are mostly getting engaged, married or having kids. The engagements and weddings are mainly happy, frantic affairs; busy and anxious but rarely overly dramatic. Where kids are concerned, it has been nothing short of heart stopping, breath taking and dramatic; and she’s had [...]
fatigued

She has been trying to sleep earlier these days since she’s feeling an odd bout of tiredness. Work’s pretty much alright; better since this girl has consistently, conscientiously and consciously cutting back and scaling down where work is concerned. Most recently, she gave up a big big six fugure project that would tie her down [...]

Having dropped the car off at the groomers, this girl had an animated discussion with the cab driver that came to pick her who had alot to say about the whole AWARE debacle saga that pervaded over the weekend. Aside from applauding the girl for going by to vote, he had many nasty pointed things [...]
hell hath no fury, Pt II
Posted in adventure, causes, funnies on May 5, 2009 | 4 Comments »
This girl and The Boy spent the day at home battling insipid contractors and entertained themselves at the myriad reports following the AWARE EGM that they attended. And here are a few moments and reports that stood out:
1. The “Shut up and Sit down” moment
(Video here) Near the start of the meeting as the crowd [...]

It was a terribly long and difficult day today and this girl sits here nursing a pounding headache and a deep annoyance at the contractors that are traipsing about her house.
And when she accidently clicked on this, it made her want to cry. It was a photo blog started by The Princess and The Prefect [...]
hell truly hath no fury

This girl (and The Boy) spent last Saturday attending the extraordinary AWARE meeting with some two thousand other women and men. As most from the island nation will know, the saga has been brewing for over a month (you can read about it here) and things finally came to a head in a requisitioned EGM [...]
