random fanged hotness

We're dipping into the world of True Blood for this week's Random Hotness...

And there really is no shortage of hotness in that show... there's Jason Stackhouse (beautiful, but dumber than a box of hair), Eric Northman (I can't decide whether I liked him better with the long hair from Season 1), Hoyt Fortenberry (who really comes into his own in Season 2 and is just so damn adorable, he makes me smile every time he's on screen) and Lafayette Reynolds (who can wear a turban and a pair of cargo shorts like nobody else).

But when we saw the first flashback of Eric's maker, Godric (played brilliantly by Allen Hyde), my heart did a little flutter... wild and tattooed, bloody-thirsty yet sweet, and rocking the Lost Boy (in the Peter Pan, not the 80's movie sense) vibe, he definitely ticks all the right boxes.

Of course, the modern, cleaned up, version of Godric is pretty damn adorable too...

it's time to talk about the heat

Okay, I've officially reached the point where it's just too hot to even bother having a coherent thought process...

I'm just very grateful that I'm working at present, so at least it means I get to spend the day in the cool.

I'm also grateful for Beast, firstly because he doesn't wheeze in the heat like my old computer and partly because I can happily sit in the lounge room where it's at least a few degrees cooler. Of course, the fact that there is this heat emanating from the front of the case where I'd usually put my hands isn't ideal...

And of course, because the Weather Bureau just occasionally guesses about stuff, the cool change isn't coming in until Sunday instead of Saturday as they were previously forecasting.

The fact that it's going to be 39°C on Friday when we're having drinks after work is a little in the good column and a little in the bad column... drinks are good... walking to the pub after work could be less so (I'm assuming the pub has air-conditioning... and if anybody tries to make a case for sitting outside in the beer garden they will be told to roll it up and insert it).

Now, if you'll excuse me I think I need to go and soak my head and then sit somewhere other than in my little red bucket chair since it seems to be conspiring with my ass to become some sort of geothermal heat production facility...

from st kilda

Although they look fairly different, these are actually a matched pair of shots from the foreshore at St Kilda. I don't know that I would have necessarily noticed them had there not been another photographer taking shots in the same spot... so on the way back I stopped and tried to see what he'd been seeing. And there's something oddly intriguing about the repeating bike wheels...

You know when you listen to the little voice in your head against your better judgement... I did that instead of opening the house up earlier once the wind had picked up and everything had cooled down a little bit... so now I'm desperately trying to get as much cool air into the house as I can before going to bed.

It's too hot to have any other thought processes...

that fine sexual line

You know something... there's a very fine line between asking for what you want and begging for sex.

I, sadly, don't believe I have that particular knack for the majority of the time, however Slick Willy has it in spades.

I was also going to rant about guys who don't contact you when they say they're going to, or who disappear when you're chatting with them, or who just flat out don't return messages even when they approached you first. But then I realised that I'm actually guilty of all of those things myself... but in my mind, when I do it, it's somehow acceptable.

I'd just prefer it if guys just went "nah, not going to happen", rather than leaving me hanging.

half assed saturday shopping

Okay, so the weather is decidedly unhelpful and we haven't quite gotten our Christmas freak on... so that should pretty much tell you exactly what kind of half assed shopping experience we had today.

It was Ma's turn for a Haircut Day, so it was something of a slow start to the day... I ended up going to meet her at the supermarket, which was something of a pointless exercise, but saved a little bit of time I guess.

With the weather forecast for next week being "foul followed by ick", I didn't end up getting a lot... there's no point really, I won't be doing any really cooking, so I'm better off buying whatever salad or fresh stuff I need as I go along.

So once we were done with the shopping, we came back here, did the unpacking thing while watching part of an old Audrey Hepburn movie on one of the digital channels (oddly, I really wanted to say "on cable" then... I'm not sure if there's actually a generic term like that for the whole digital television thing), then headed down to the Gepps Cross Homemaker Centre.

And... yeah... there is a fairly decent JB HiFi down there (and I ran into, but mutually ignored a guy who works on the same floor as me... and I was certain he was a big homo, but he was there with a woman and another couple, so unless there was some big complex dynamic going on, maybe he is straight... but he so isn't, even if he is)... and we went and looked at the puppies and the kittens (awwwww). The main reason for the little trip was to check out the new Toys R Us store to see if they had the little bunny that I'm looking for in stock... no such luck.

I also bought a new towel... a big, king size one... I have a number of smaller ones, but only a couple of big ones... plus it's bright green, which none of my other towels are.

It's also kind of weird to be wandering around shopping in the approximate location where I once took photos of a model in nothing but his underwear... to be honest, I think the exact spot is probably in the middle of the carpark, but it was still slightly odd.

Once we'd had enough we headed back to my place, but I swung past Atlantic DVD on the way back and we wandered around for a good long while before coming away with a couple of bits and pieces.

Not an overly exciting day out...

photo friday: toy alley

This photo is the street art equivalent of today... some interesting elements, but a bit of a mess overall.

Actually I knew today was not going to go well when I got in to work, switched on my computer and it screamed at me that the keyboard wasn't plugged in... which is appeared to be... so after enduring the screaming a second time I unplugged the keyboard, plugged it back in and it seemed happy with that.

But then just before lunch we discovered that something had been sent out with incorrect information (and not by us), so we had to scramble (well, not me so much as Sugarmonkey, but I was scramble adjacent) to make sure that it would actually work.

There was also the email that made my blood boil, which fortunately I didn't have to answer, but I did have a big whinge about... especially since it would have taken longer for the person to write the email than it would have done do actually go and do what they needed to do. Grrr...

Thank fuck it's Friday!
