a good long weekend

So far, it’s been a good long weekend - for those of you reading overseas, it’s the Queen’s (of England) Birthday weekend here, celebrated in early/mid-June. I chose not to go away for the weekend with the in-laws to the seaside (not such crash-hot weather, given that it’s winter here and all) and have been at home, relaxing.

As I type, I’m over halfway through Anne of Green Gables - the list I previously posted having inspired me to read. Ralenth, if you’re reading this, I expect a full report on how many of those titles you’ve read (probably heaps, I wager). I’ve been through the list a few more times realising that I didn’t highlight a few books I’d read, so you might want to check over it again as I’ve edited it.

Last night, thanks to a good friend letting me know, I stayed up and caught my pop idol guest presenting on Rage (a video clip programme on [Australian] TV channel ABC). Oh my god, I totally forgot how much I loved Pulp - got to see fabbo clips of some of their older hits which totally blew me away. God, Jarvis is such a sexy bloke. He chose some awesome stuff, I was totally blown away and stayed up till 4am watching. And Pulp were not a one-album wonder as my mate J-P thinks. I’m listening to Last.fm right now and they’re playing Jarvis covering a Leonard Cohen song. Golden.

The other things I’ve done this weekend have been eating yummy food (I don’t remember enjoying food this much…weird), playing World of Warcraft (my human warrior is finally levelled up to 20! yea! Check my character out here) and…the pièce de résistance…I learnt to lace myself into my corset. Still not perfectly, but getting there!
