You'd better shape up pretty darn toot suite, you hear?

Monday was pretty high on the annoyance scale - just one of those days that the Foul-Up Fairy decided to stick around for the times when people weren't just adding more and more to my plate (which I couldn't handball as I was on my lonesome).

Tuesday opens with a letter to the bus driver: if there's a lane you can go in that will save 20 minutes off the trip in construction and wet weather traffic, USE IT!! Our crowded bus was overtaken by the next two of our bus, and three of the ones I wanted to transfer to. Thanks mate, let me know how futile it is trying to get in at a decent time.

As I get in, my phone starts ringing the moment I approach. It's Mum, to tell me that Dad's in Royal Perth Hospital. He's doing better than he said from how he described when he got in last night. I went in after work to get him a few papers (luckily the little newsagent had a couple of the UK papers, although I'd already printed out the football scores, Dad likes to hear about what's happening back home) and to set up his phone/tv stuff. Anyway, he's getting treatment now and can't wait to build up his strength again - I won't say what he's in for, but he needs to get some appetite back to build up some energy again.

So yeah. This week has done little to recommend itself, and needs to copy some of the awesome bits of last week pronto!

Oops, once more I've been a bit quiet on the ol' LJ front... well, some notes from the last couple of weeks.

I was lucky enough to find a source for a couple of obituaries for a couple of members of my family who were physicians in New Zealand; I was kindly sent the scans of their pages the same day.

So I was on the bus the other day, and I was noticing how many people had earphones in. It really reminded me of that scene in... a certain ep of the new season of Doctor Who (won't mention which one due to spoilers) with all the people just standing stock still listening to their ear buds. Then I checked my volume and started my MP3 player...

Last week the news had a story about a group of arseholes driving around hassling people from their car, including one kid who was too scared to go out, or even to sleep, and they weren't charged because "it was just a prank." Yes, the driver actually turned himself in to the cops, but because "it was just a prank" they're off scot-free! How ridiculous. What if they'd decided to go further huh? At what point does the "prank" stop being so forgivable?

Hmm, what shall I do tomorrow, go to work, or go have a happyfun joke with the people at the bank? Prank robbery, with a prank-twelve-guage... surely there'll be no harm in it, just a little fun get rich quick scheme!

Hooray, great find! I was in Borders on Friday, armed with a 20% off any CD voucher (I get their emails each Friday), and there in the music section I make a discovery. What should I find but the soundtrack of a little movie from the eighties... Ghostbusters!

Whoa! I was just about to go to bed, when suddenly on the tv I hear "Previously on Enterprise"... it's back with no warning, no fanfare, at midnight on Sunday! Wow, I knew Australian channels love to bury sci-fi, but they've outdone themselves!
Heh. "And you must be T'Pol."
"If I must, I must. Personally I'd rather be Meryl Streep, but then wouldn't we all?"
I watched too much Ghostbusters when I was a kid...

A little 30-question something, for it's been a while. )

And now, to bed. Night all!
