I want to see the zoo she said, I want to see the zoo…

Last night we watched Nuts in May which is an excellent film, but now the song about the zoo is in my head and I can’t seem to remove it. We also watched The Cable Guy and then I watched Underworld which is utter gash. In case you’ve never seen it, I came up with the following equation:
(Kate Beckinsdale + man/werewolf/vampire) vs. (vampires vs. werewolves) = Underworld
It’s not very good. I’m sure a lot of men enjoy it because of Kate Beckinsdale carrying guns and wearing a rather disturbing PVC catsuit, but that is no grounds for quality cinema in my opinion.

I also cleaned out my kitchen cupboards in an attempt to get rid of the ants which have moved into our house, but they’re still there unfortunately. I made carrot cake muffins as well which were pretty fit.

The end.

That’s not really funny…

Hobbes

This is Hobbes. After being completely adamant that I was getting a rescue cat that no-one else wanted, I have somehow caved to Duncan and got a kitten. He is the cutest thing in the world though. At the moment he’s clawing my leg, which is not so cute.

As you may have guessed I’m still jobless. I have applied for a job in a deli though, which I really really want. I’d be able to work with food all day! Also, I’m thinking I might want to own my own deli when I’m older so it would be good experience. And if I hate it then that’s another career option I can cross off the list. I’m beginning to think I should have an actual list and not a metaphorical one…

Hiss, you’ve hissed your last!

Jonic and I went to Leeds on Thursday, which was nice. I mention it because we went to Wagamama for some dinner. It’s a Japanese noodle-bar which we’ve been planning to go to for some time. I would highly recommend it; the waiting staff are really chilled out and friendly, the food is excellent, the atmosphere is relaxed and to top it all it’s not too badly priced. If only we could have one in York.

Nothing much else of note has happened recently. I’ve applied for a couple of generic admin jobs. I tried to get a job at Lush, but they aren’t hiring at the moment which is disappointing. Anyone fancy giving me a job?

I’m writing this whilst watching the Disney Robin Hood (the best one, in my opinion) so apologies if it’s a bit stilted. I keep getting distracted by Robin Hood’s sexy voice. Shame he’s a cartoon fox eh? He’s a bit irresponsible though - he just gave a child a bow and arrow.

I’m getting a cat soon! He currently belongs to the brother of someone Duncan works with. He’s moving to New Zealand and Bob (the cat) can’t go with him, so he’s coming to live with me in a few weeks. My parents don’t know yet and since they’re my landlords I’m going to have to pluck up the courage to tell them at some point. I’m going to change his name from Bob to either Oscar or Hobbes. He’s a big fat ginger cat, so I think Oscar would be best but I can’t decide. Does anyone have any preferences or other ideas?

Who are you working for?!

Jonic told me last night that I have nine subscribers to my blog. Nine! I thought only about 4 people were reading it, so I’m a bit chuffed about that.

I am also interested to know who finds me interesting enough to stick around, so if you don’t mind I’d love a comment or two. Obviously if you wish to remain anonymous I won’t hold it against you; it’s just to satisfy my curiosity.

My ice -cream maker hasn’t arrived yet, but I await it eagerly. I also ordered a Be-Ro cookery book (a British institution, for those who don’t know), which I’m very excited about. It only cost £1.50, which was nice.

Jonic and I watched 6 episodes of 24 last night. We’re on series 5, episode 13 now. Obviously it would be cruel of me to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it, so I won’t. All I will say is that it is absolutely brutal, much more so than any other series. It’s incredible though, as usual.

Something pretty fucking huge happened to me last night as well, which I think is blogworthy (despite being pretty personal, something I’m not too keen on this blog being for fear of alienating those who don’t really know me). I think I’m going to give it a few days to sink in first before blogging about it though. Suffice it to say, after recieving said news I drank quite a lot of vodka and smoked about a million cigarettes.

More on that story later.

I am currently downloading Day of the Tentacle, which I couldn’t be more excited about. I haven’t played it since I was pretty young, I hope my fond memories turn out to be accurate and it’s not actually a big pile of shit.

I’m also compiling a list of video games I have yet to complete/start playing:

  • Twilight Princess (I’m on the last dungeon!)
  • Disgeaea
  • Final Fantasy XII (which I have yet to buy, but am very excited about)
  • Final Fantasy X & X2
  • Kingdom Hearts I & II
  • A lot of Pokemon games for various consoles
  • Golden Sun

I think that’s all of them for now, but I’m going to be pretty busy. I doubt I’ll have time for a job, so I’m going to have to start taking donations. Envelopes of money sent to my house would be much appreciated, as would food parcels and free clothes.

Oooh!

Also, I won an ice-cream maker on e-bay for £12 inc. P&P! How exciting. Soon I will be able to make my very own Dime bar ice-cream.
