If Music Be

The divine and sassified Nilsa at SoMi Speaks posted a pet peeves list today and it really got me thinking about my pet peeves…so much so in fact that i thought i would do a list of my very own.

~ ithings. I have an iPod, i like the tech that goes into Mac products but for goodness sake i don’t care about every sneeze that Steve Jobs makes at a press conference. It seems like any social media ‘maven’ worth their salt has to cream over all things Apple or risk being thrown out of the ‘club’.

~ similarly those Windows 7 adverts where all the people claim Windows 7 was their idea

~ companies on twitter who don’t follow you back even though they have competitions that ask for DM’s (you can’t DM unless someone follows you) to enter

~ again, similarly, marketing bullshit on twitter. Autofollow is the bane of my life

~ forced contributions to collections for people at work who i don’t know. Especially being stared at when i say i don’t know the person and won’t be contributing and/or going to clap at their presentation (today when the applause started i may have said ‘congratulations you got knocked up, here’s a gift’ in earshot of a lot of people)

~ a million TV shows all starting in January that i love to watch. I am running out of hours in the day and i have study to do dammit

I could go on and on but i will save some for another time.

What are your pet peeves? Tell me, it’ll make you feel better

Too many projects keep cropping up to fit in around my work and none of them are inspiring me at all. They’re all things i need to get done so that other things get progressed but i still don’t have the inclination to do them.

Today on the way home from work i decided to go to the supermarket a few stops past mine on the bus so i could re-stock on cat food. Of course i forgot the road is closed to all but retail park traffic so i had to go on a detour. Which was fine except the bus windows were open and it was freezing and then i had to wait for the bus to get back to the supermarket again for 20 minutes. Shopping failure, big time.

I’m tired all the time but still find myself incapable of actually going to bed at a reasonable hour

Ooh the phone is ringing and i still don’t know that number so i am still going to screen it

and those are your vignettes for the day (i love that word)

Because i’m too brain dead to post today you’re getting the list of my celeb crushes so far this year

Ian Somerhalder

Zachary Quinto

Nigel Barker

Lauren Conrad

Jeremy Sheffield

Jessica Stroup

Who are your favourite celebs?

the lovely Kirses just reminded me

Alexander Skarsgard

The ever lovely Smidge commented yesterday that maybe i’m not feeling the drama because i’m in a good place in my life. You know what, i think she’s right!

Sure i have major financial meltdowns every day or so and i want a promotion and my house to stop leaking but i think in myself i really am in a good place.

I am over the dickhead ex, i am happy with myself and i just need a bit of fine tuning to get myself into brilliant mode

Bring it on

Synopsis from Waterstones: Jessica and Max are finally going to tie the knot, and Jessica is determined to have the biggest, best wedding ever. The only problem is, recently Max has been evasive – and when Jessica follows him and sees him in an apparent tryst with an attractive woman, it’s the last straw. The next thing she knows, she’s drunk at a bar, cosying up to the top rival of Max’s firm, and letting some top-secret work details slip…details that could cost Max everything. The next morning Jessica is deeply ashamed of her actions, and when a series of events leads her to discover an important truth about her past, she realises she shouldn’t have doubted the only man she’s ever loved. But as evidence of her own indiscretion surfaces, she knows that the same can’t be said about her. Is her Big Day, as well as her job and reputation in jeopardy?

Review: My goodness what a vapid, predictable and dull book this was. From the outset i hated that character of Jess; she was everything that’s annoying about a chick-lit ‘heroine’, paranoid, wedding obsessed and exceptionally self centered. The endless pointless sagas just went on and on and the ‘twist’ near the beginning was ridiculous. By the time i got to the end i wanted the world to come crashing down around her.

Not a good read, at all for me
