Sorry I'm late, guys!

Hey there everyone! (Well actually, hey there Scorpy!) Sorry I haven't bloggerized for a little while, I came down with a really nasty, head-spinny virus. Yuck! Had to hang on to the wall everytime the spins came on, it was horrible! Generally only happened when I was laying down in bed or on the couch though. At least I didn't see orange blobby things or creepy crawlies like with other flu bugs I've had. Still, it lasted longer than I would have liked. Also, I have a new favourite guitar hero; Orianthi Panagaris! She was supposed to be Michael Jackson's lead guitarist for his farewell tour, which he never got to do. Anyway, saw her on the news doing her stuff and she absolutely blew me away! I've heard a lot of guitarists, but her style really hits something in me. She is absolutely bloody fabulous! I spent hours downloading every guitar solo of hers that I could find on you tube. Needless to say, my ears were extremely happy! And, one of the best things about her is that she is an Adelaide girl! Woo hoo!!!! I was floored when I found that out! She even got Carlos Santana's blessing! That is so damn cool! Anyway, the weather down here has taken a sharp turn for the boiling hot! Bloody hell! I think we're getting something hideous like four straight days of 37 degree heat. Blecch! I really don't need that. I want to go to the Adelaide Horse Trials next weekend, but won't if I'm going to be roasting in my own juices! If it's too damn hot they probably won't let the horses compete anyway. Anyhow, I'm tired all of a sudden (I think typing does that to me now, since I spent so much time doing it when I was studying), perhaps I need some more cookies to push my blood sugar levels back up! See ya later! (Hopefully not too much later!)

Fleetwood Mac are coming!!!!!!!!

Fleetwood Mac are coming to Australia to do a bunch of concerts in December! Aaaaagh!!!Aaaaagh!!!!!!!!! (my demonstration of a high-pitched girly scream). I've wanted to see them in concert forever! I watched their 25th reunion concert on tv about 12 or so years ago. But alas like so many other great bands, they are bypassing dear, old Adelaide (sigh). I've only been to two concerts here involving a reasonably high profile band, and both of those were Metallica concerts. (I'm no longer a heavy-metal fan, by the way. I figure I had to stop being the angry teenager and grow up some time!) Hope nobody holds that against me! The last concert I saw was the Doobie Brothers, over in Perth with a couple of older friends. They were kind of surprised that I even knew about the Doobies, let alone liked them. (An advantage of having a much older, music-loving brother!) I grew up with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and so on. And I loved all of it. Aaaahh, the seventies. A combination of good music and crap music. Although I do admit, (and please don't laugh), I actually liked some of the disco stuff that was around at the time, too. It all seemed to be party, party, party in the seventies. (Well, the neighbours certainly partied hard!) The atmosphere was totally different, then. Seemed more relaxed, to me. Speaking of relaxing, I think I'll go off and do some, right now! Cheers!

Moan!

Hi there all you bloggerers, bloggerettes and bloggles (I think that's the term for non-bloggers, can't be sure though). Not feeling my usual nutty self today, as it would have been my 10th wedding aniversary had I stayed married. Feel like crap. Thank god I got to go do my volunteer work, it helped being with other people. But now I'm all by my little self at present, with only you guys to moan to. Not that that's a bad thing, better than having no one to moan to. Blast, I used hanging particibles for the endings of both of those sentences; In the academic world, definitely a no-no, and will cost you a bunch of points off your written assignments. Anyway, back to the subject at hand. It was a crappy marriage, and certainly better that I left it; but it doesn't make me feel any better. I suppose because it was my second marriage, and I considered it to be my last shot. What ever happened to all the good marriages? You know, the kind where people actually manage to stay happily married for fifty years? Why the hell couldn't I have that? Where the heck is mine? If someone has some answers out there, please let me know. I may be a bit of a loon, but I am an old-fashioned, romantic loon. To me, something as important as marriage is supposed to be a great experience (A bit of Aquarian idealism slipping in there). Anyway, that's enough moaning from me, and hopefully, I'll be better by next post, See ya!

Well, here goes!

Hi there! Well, this is all new to me. I've regularly read the blogs of others, but I never thought that I'd start my own! Then, upon recent encouragement by a regular blogger(fallen Scorpio) I thought, what the heck! You only live once, right! (At least in this body, anyway! Who knows, I may opt to be a horse if there is a next time, or maybe a monkey??!) However, before I reincarnate as either a horse or a monkey, (perhaps both, you never know where science is headed!) or start acting lilke one, I should probably put down a few words as to who the heck I am. I just turned 38 a few months back, (sigh! Becoming a monkey may occur sooner than I think!) and I am basically beginning yet another new chapter in my life. I recently graduated in a Social Science Bachelor, and am now out trawling the streets, newspapers, and ringing up and bugging potential employers for a job. (If anyone else out there is looking for a similar position, you may meet up with me in the same space. I'll be the one noshing on a banana yelling from the back of the line, "Pick me, pick me! I'm good!!) Sometimes that's what I feel like doing; times sure are tough! Maybe I should join the guy on the Anzac Highway median strip in Adelaide, and set my own desk up! Seriously though, the older you get, the more they don't seem to want you. Which is a real bugger, because I think older people have a lot to offer. Never mind! I'll get there! (Alternatively, I could join the circus and train monkeys! I'm sure I could do that, I have a bunch of stuff in common with them! I have been known to swing off of things!) I've also been single for roughly eight years, and am hoping that will change soon. Perhaps I should look for a guy swinging from a lampost! (Is that how you spell that? I can never tell.) Anyway, that's enough for a first I think, I'll go and join the other monkeys now, and maybe watch a bit of Bugs Bunny before bed! Ta ta, all!
