So far, so good.

I wish I had a spare $65. If anyone does, and they are roughly the same height/weight as me, go to the Salvos store on Bourke st near Parliament in the city, there is a beautiful long double-breasted coat in the window, and it looks and feels divine, so if you need a coat go get it!

My job continues to go well, I have downloaded the entire Chronicles of Narnia to listen to while doing my job. Unfortunately it's read by Kenneth Branaugh, but we can't have everything.

In bad news, two of my friends have been victims of theft, and this sucks hardcore. Guys, I suggest on Saturday we dig out our old Roman Religion or Greek and Roman Magic readers and find some really good curses to use on the theives, preferably after we've drunk a bit.

In good news, [livejournal.com profile] jpom40 has very sweetly asked me to fill the position of "best man" at his wedding. This makes me happy. This also means I get to plan a party... probably not for a while since the wedding is in April, but still, fun to think about. :-)

And tomorrow [livejournal.com profile] mc_shamo and I will head to IKEA after work and buy a bed. Hooray for bed!

Lastly (because you all want to know) DivaCup rocks a ridiculous amount. I want to go back in time so I can buy one earlier.

Over and out.

Send me an SMS when you arrive or leave ikea - I'll probably be across the road at the Flow Cafe having a drink :)

I need a new coat!

Oh. Wait a minute.

We did not forget, we heeded the warnings. :-)

So how *does* a female go about arranging a bucks night? Sounds like one of those things that could hurt a brain if handled 'traditionally'

Which is why it won't be. ;-P

Curses!!!!!!! As for the bucks night, I can't see James wanting strippers somehow.

Cricket should be involved, though.

I believe I can quote him nearly word for word; "I don't want strippers, and I don't want to wake up naked and chained to a pole in front of Union House"

Other than that I've got free reign :-)

He will forever be Gilderoy Lockhart to me, regardless of anything he has done before or since...

Good call, but didn't they tend to lean towards the animal sacrifice version of magic? I like my fire ant curse. I thought that was pretty good.

DivaCup rocks a ridiculous amount

I second this, and "w00t" in response.

I also need a coat, but I'm not sure I'll have time to check in at the Salvos today...

Er, also, I strongly strongly suggest not buying a bed from IKEA. Go to the nice cheap furniture store at Highpoint! I will drive you!

Too late :-)

My last bed was an IKEA bed, and it served well for five years, having been taken apart and put back together on no less than three occasions and... having led a rather active life *hemhem*

This one is far less likely to be moved about so often, and is sturdier than my last one.

However, i may take you up on your offer sometime as the couches at IKEA were seventeen million different kinds of UGLY.

...and expensive... and uncomfortable :)

James is getting married? Wow, the things you don't know when you live on the other side of the world... Cool.

He announced it a while ago on his lj, but it does seem to have gone under the radar a bit.
