• Bought an iPhone, much fun to be had, so far proving to be exactly what I wanted – not quite the implant of my dreams but slightly closer. 1G/month data plan looks like it will suffice
• Pilates; instructor sadly informed us the class timetable is changing – exactly in time to allow me to continue to keep going once Uni starts \o/
• Braces rewired; was a lot less painful than the first time, still feels weird, still waking up with a dry tongue because I can’t quite sleep with my mouth shut
• Breakfast with Pop, well, yoghurt, he doesn’t stock a lot of food, talked about rendering (external walls) and about having the energy to engage with people who you can maybe teach something to and how to value that
• Lunch with fred_mouse in which we trialled the sugar cane plantation then spat out a lot of delicious wood fibre and talked about anything and everything – how groups make decisions and how much of it is role based and whether how I feel about rockmelon counts as synesthesia
  
• "Where are all the men bloggers?" made me laugh a lot
• Better off Ted; finished on a high note, loved the last two episodes.
• Leverage; 2x05 made me cringe a few times but 2x06 was fun
• MBA orientation day; enjoyed it, feeling good about the course so far.
• Chai in Subi with cupidsbow and grouchiegrrl, was great to catch up
• AD&T meeting rounding off a very busy day (in which I may have flailed a bit – sorry again people!)
• Sunday ended up being some serious sleeping and mooching around in which I refused to do anything but cuddle the woofer and read

We had to give pentapus back but not before we made her watch all of Better off Ted. She then drew this adorable picture as a parting gift! *loves* (incredibly mild spoiler for 1x06)

( whee! )

Despite clearly stated goals of sleeping + resting the long weekend didn’t quite work out as planned.

Saturday:

• Beach with woofer: chocolate croissant from Abhi’s bakery, men with cameras stalk woofer in the surf (yes he is that pretty)
• Fremantle Markets: am reminded again why I hate crowds, fail to acquire tree-frog leadlight sticker or a copy of the Skinner's Box book.
• Visit brothers: provide snack food, receive appreciation. Watch football, be saddened by team, I’m surprised WCE lost by only 18 points. Baby brother has broken his foot falling out of a tree and is in a half cast up to his knee, mother has apparently been fetching things for him all week, no-one told *me*. Am not allowed to illustrate cast, take photos instead :p
• Do laundry: clean room, admire ceiling, vacuum ceiling, vacuum feather boa accidentally – can’t quite believe it just ate the whole thing, didn’t know you could do that.

Sunday:

• All OTW monthly meeting: arrive 5 mins late (7:05 am Sunday), deliver AD&T report, and celebrate progress
• Cut grass: kill mower, buy whipptersnippter, cut grass more, rake, get blister (have perfectly circular sore on my thumb, looks like someone stubbed a cigarette out on me), throw ball for woofer into flowering bush, woofer covered in little blue flowers – knew it had a purpose (flowering bush, not woofer).
• Slashgropers: loan Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to… everyone? Pimp Better Off Ted (made of awesome, go watch it, really), see remade Sanctuary pilot (not awesome) and pilot for The Unusuals (which is looking pretty decent)
• Download Adam Lambert performances from American Idol – yes I know :(

Monday:

• OTW – do unspecified *things* mostly involving the next code deploy, designs for Collections and Challenges and pondering an Admin interface re-design.
• Coffee: spend an afternoon with girliejones for coffee – win!
• Dinner: spend evening with flamebyrd and S.O. and maharetr starting with Indian food and followed by icecream. Meet pentapus, take pentapus home (bootleg American smuggling operation)
• Made maharetr and pentapus watch Better Off Ted 1x01 & 1x02

Tuesday:

• Froze neck, stayed home, read and slept.
• Didn’t have to *make* anyone watch Better Off Ted 1x03 & 1x04 *grins*
