Now I don’t have any of last night’s Movember Gala Partae photos avaiable to me yet (There were gold chains and chest hair galore on Rish the mega-sleaze, and I skanked it up in my schoolgirl outfit that I pull together… scary thing for both of us is that all the clothes we were were not costume pieces, rather things that are general parts of our wardrobe. Just not always together), but I can tell you that I was very impressed with the facial hair of Canberra, and the effort everyone put into costumes and for their fundraising for Beyond Blue Depression Initiative and the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
There are some other photos up so far from Adelaide, Brisbane, and even the Canadian Movember Galas here, and the Canberra ones are sure to shortly follow!
I also can’t believe it’s the end of November! t’s December tomorrow! That means- summer! the Christmas tress goes up! I must write my Chrissy cards in earnest! and various other things and thoughts like – Only 3 more weeks of work! (and, seriously, does week ten of term REALLY count? I don’t think so!) I think I’ll do a December First Daily Grind – If I remember to charge my camera battery and to take it everywhere with me :)

Just sitting here, checking my email, and snacking away on a salmon and tomato sandwich. Remembering how much I love canned fish such and tuna and salmon, and how I used to live on tuna or salmon sandwhiches as a kid. With the snackfood of a bowl of lettuce with lemon juice for a snack. Those crazy kids!
Speaking of snackery – I just saw an ad for Cadbury “Singles”… 99 delicious calories of chocolate for the rrp of 99 cents! Not being a good one for having “just one” piece, or saving some for later, this is an awesome idea :) (and if you add in the “just one calorie” in diet coke, you have yourself an awfully un-nutritious but stress-easing 100 calorie snack :p)
My back’s all sticky when I removed the waterproof dressing from over my stitches. The stitches look like a little spider has been squashed onto my shoulder… but they’re feeling alright, though I might cover it again tonight… Especially if I colour my hair, wich I’m thinking of again… but really… I don’t know if I can be bothered… the weekend could be better to turn the bathroom purple! :)
Oh, and because I am extremely glad there are only two days remaining of Movember:
If you’re on facebook, there are more wonderful photos of Rish for movember in his Movember Group…

Tha holiday that I’m so desparately needing/wanting? It’s a month away! :)
Boxing Day (Dec 26th) Rish and I are heading to Queenstown, NZ to have the summer NZ trip we’ve wanted, and the celebrate our 10th anniversay :) *dies*
The flights have been booked for awhile now, but we just haven’t gotten around to the accomodation side of things. Browsing now, I see a few places that could be promising – we don’t want to spend too much, but since it is something special don’t exactly want cheap and nasty! :p
We’re staying with friends for a couple of the nights, and then needing to find someplace for new years and the night after, but are also having a few nights to ourselves… for some much-needed r&r…
I’m getting excited just typing about it!

Unconscious Mutterings 251…
- Filthy :: whore
- Therapist :: speech
- Duck :: goose!
- Slant :: slide
- Artist :: paintbrushes
- Lease :: loan
- Wish :: list
- Doormat :: walk over
- Global :: connections
- Apartment :: flat
I saw an ad on tv where they deliberately said “free” instread of “three”. And then someone was lisping in an interview. They made me tense up on my elliptical trainer.
I think I need a holiday.

The election is over. Obviously the Senate still has to play out. But John Howard is gone, Kevid Rudd’s Labor is in. And now we just have to see how Rudd will actually play out, and see what we really have voted for here.
Bring on the next 3 years!

I did my thing at around 9 this morning, toddled off to the primary school down the street, discregarded the “how to vote” cards I was handed, and was pleasantly surprised at there being only 4 names on the House of Representatives ballot paper, which I quickly numbered through, and only 16 below the line for the Senate paper.. so with that one I took my time, mostly just so I didn’t stuff up my numbered, and for the first time did the below the line vote. That way I don’t have to worry that my preferences will flow to some Fred Nile group person (not that I saw them there for the ACT) or to Family First, wh I don’t remember being there either. Maybe they’ve given up on Canberra, and realise that there’s no point standing here as the PPP (politics, pornography and pyrotechnics) have long taken hold and really, we have no “family values” that they speak of left. :) Such a shame. It made figuring out who went last really quite hard.
I bit dissapointed at the attempted “cake stall” at the school. A couple of trays of rocky road… where were the lamingtons and toffee? Why did I even get up this morning?
It’s out my hands now. In about 8 hours I’ll have dragged out the tv (or be camped out in front of it on the bike at the gym) watching the start of the count. It could well be a close one, and that makes me nervous. I’m not really sure that I want Labor and Kevin Rudd in, but I know I don’t want John Howard’s Liberals around anymore. I so hope he loses Bennelong.
We shall see.
edit: Nikkiana was perplexed by our preferential voting system, so I shared for her this how to vote link (sound required). Here’s the how to not vote one, too. I don’t know if it helped her any, but she tells me the Australian male voice is enthralling.
