Looking good. Feeling fabulous!

I have to say, I am officially a HUGE fan of mood altering drugs!
I am now back to my normal, happy self after an absence of smiles and joy for about four years.

I am also looking good thanks to the loss of appetite from said drugs and the petty cash I got from work to buy myself some pretty new work clothes! I knew shopping was wonderful, but the whole experience takes on a whole new kind of fabulousness when you get to go shopping with someone else's moolah!

Anyway, it definately helps make up for the last awful week at work where we had NO COMPUTERS. AT ALL!!!! One fibre optic cable (look at me using technical jargon)! crapped out and brought down the whole of Rialto. We had no registers, no signage, no printer, no email and no precious, precious internet to keep Neeny occupied! Of course, while most customers were sympathetic and understanding, there were a few who thought that the whole thing was one big conspiracy just to annoy them. Dumbasses.

Anyway, a WEEK later! (If we were in Auckland, it would have been fixed pronto), we are now up and running again, and I am back to blogging. I know I could easilly blog from home, but I prefer to do it at work, where I need things to do and where we have the pretty, pretty broadband! Very zoom zoom.

So, first topic today: SEX!

On Tuesday, Miss LilyBelle is losing hers. At 5.5 months old, she has reached puberty and the awful teenage stroppiness that goes with it. She is extremely anti-social and is not looking like she will ever be able to join me at parties as a fairy bunny. She just does not like people! Not even her lovely aunties! She loves me, and she loves Mum, but no one else! She is actually quite rude to visitors and I am earning a reputation as a bad Mum who doesn't discipline or control her spoilt brat daughter!
She has also decided that using her litter box is optional and has become very, very close (if you know what I mean)! to the soft bunny toy I bought to keep her company. My darling little girl is a horny trollope :(
I am actually a little worried about the operation...I know there's no need to be, but I have grown very attached to my little ball of white fluff with the long pink, floppy ears!

OK, time for some movie and trailer reviews!
First of all, how excited was I when I saw the Sex and the City trailer?! VERY! I believe I actually squealed. This is the one I have been waiting for. However, is it just me, or did the trailer appear to give an awful lot away? I was kinda annoyed at that, but we'll see.
I'm thinking, Hamilton ladies, that we should all meet up on Thursday 5th May, in gorgeous little dresses, cute shoes, watch the movie and then go for cosmopolitans in town. Who's in?! Let me know, and I will organise. Friends of friends are welcome to join us, the more the merrier!
Did I mention I'm excited?

Second exciting trailer is Indiana Jones and the Search for the Crystal Skull. Now unless you know me really well, you will wonder how a girly girl like me can be so excited about a "boy film". Well, I am just nuts about archaeology. I nearly ended up going to Auckland Uni to do an archaeology degree instead of Theatre at Waikato! So, yes, I am a big fan of the Indy movies. Can't wait! And it's released Mayy 22nd (the day before my birthday, hint, hint, nudge, nudge)!!!

Ok, films.
Definately, Maybe. A little predictable, but a great chick flick. Abigail Breslin, as always, is fabulous. She is going to go a long way, the little talent. The guy....can't remember his name, was nice eye candy, and Rachel Weisz was, as always, also fabulous.
And Jess was right, best opening dialogue ever! I haven't heard the word "penis" used that much apart from a shift with my dear Jessticles!

On an Abigail Breslin theme, Nim's Island. Cute kid, cute animals and a very hunky, wet and shirtless Gerard Butler. Nuff said.

The Spiderwick Chronicles. I had no idea what this movie was about, but the Shambles wanted to see it, so I went along, and WOW! I loved it! It has fairies! Ok, not many fairies compared to the ogres and goblins, but gorgeous wee fairies having tea on the porch with Aunt Lucinda in the crazy house! (All agreed that this was "my" character in the film haha). And the fabulous Dame Joan Plowright was in it too! I loved, loved, loved it, and the next day I went out and bought the first two books of the series. However, even though I count Leo the Lop as one of my favourite ever books, this series is just a little too young for my liking.

Now yesterday, I realised that there are actually films where you will get funny looks if you are not accompanied by a short person! I saw Horton Hears a Who, and boy, the looks I got from adults and kids alike was quite amusing. Yes, I was the only grown up there voluntarilly and alone.
I'm not a Jim Carrey fan at all, but I did enjoy this one. WAY better than The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, that's for sure! Very cute and very funny. Remember, "a person's a person, no matter how small". I like that. I also like Katie, the weird, orange creature of indeterminable species: "On my world, everyone's a pony and they eat rainbows and poop butterflies"! LOVE IT!

Plans are slowly underway for my birthday expedition to Auckland to see Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I am a bit slack in the organisation, but I will get it sorted, I promise!
I also got a very exciting email from Ticketek or some such, announcing that Phantom of the Opera is coming to NZ in October! Yay! It's one stage show I have always wanted to see but have never got the chance. So I will be there with bells on! Any joiners?

Well, faithfull readers, that's all for this time. But as there are still 5 odd hours left of work, and I have done all my jobs for the day already, I may be back later with a Friday Five or something!
