I re found the bus!

Hahahah oh hilarity. Last week.. actually the past few weeks, have been god awful shitful and I've had the most awesomely hilarious (omg sarcasm?) life recently..

Anyway, friday morning I slept in - I'd only had like 2 hours sleep anyway.. so I kind of woke up a bit more than what I already was.. so I was late for work. I get onto the freeway and see a blue stationwagon that looks vaguely like my old car.. hmm.. nah, no way that's the bus. I make a mental note to double check if it's still there on my way home from work.

HOLY FUCKING BATSHIT BATMAN

On the way home, I pull up behind the car that's still there and it's the bus. Don't believe me?

here's a video to prove it.



SEE?! I TOLD YOU!!

Enjoy our trip :)

Oh and I've been in the mood for home decorating this weekend. I finally lost it last nite (ie: nearly had a nervous breakdown AGAIN) about the state of this place, and today I spent all day outside hanging up pretty new bamboo blinds.

My camera AND my phone are both dead, hence the lack of photos. Solly velly muchings. When I re-charge, i shall take pics and upload. I'm hiring a skip this week, and I've basically told EvilMe and B "If I can see it, it's going into the skip" so yeah, they'll be helping to make sure I don't throw everything away.

I've also put up chiffon tab top curtains in B's room - did that today also. When her room is totally finished, you shall definitely get pics.

I have a lot of catching up to do, I think i gotta stop playing mobwars damn you Niko!

Gardening sucks..

Okay, so the flowers are nearly dead outside in their pots (thanks IGA for selling me dodgy plants.. yeah it's their fault not mine i didn't kill them.. serious!) but I bought more, and I'm keeping them inside for now just until they're ready to plant in my back yard.

Anyway, today I decided to go out and use my new $15 whipper snipper Bunnings Bargain.

I managed to kill it in under 5 minutes.

I rule!

In the 5 minutes it took me to kill my bargain snipper, I managed to lose the spring that makes the circle thing with the wire that cuts the bits and go bouncy bouncy, make the whole fucking bottom bit fall off and go skidding across the back yard, whack a couple of dozen weeds and clip my forehead with some flying shrapnel (I now have a nice big red welt on my forehead which EvilMe kissed better, but it's still sore).

I got my $15 dollars worth of backyard entertainment (heheh this thing is originally worth $90, I did pretty well).

And yes, I know that I've not updated all week and I've been slack. This would be because I've been working long shifts all week since just after the easter break. Starting at 10am and finishing at 8pm is not my fucking friend, let me tell you.

Which reminds me, I need to do my timesheet! Gah! (okay, I just opened the link for it, watch me forget to do it).

How many days has it been since I updated? 13? Yeah.. something like that.. hmm.. should I do a slideshow of 13 Daily Urbans for Jay? Yeah I probably should.. So here, my dear, is a fortnights of .. dum da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Jay's
Daily (erp.. a fortnight's worth of daily's at least..)
Urbannnnnnnnnn!

100th Post!

Oer this is my 100th post for this edition of my blog. How cool is that? Okay so it's pretty sad, but hey c'mon - I started blogging um, 3 years ago? I dunno.. I've managed to kill 1 blog, completely forget about my MySpace page, sometimes update my LiveJournal (and even then, that place is identical to this one simply because I copy paste and am too lazy to come up with something different to post!

Anyway, enough about me, lets talk about plants.

I'm hopeless at plants - no seriously - I look at them and they wither and die. The only plants I am successful at growing, and that is without any supervision whatsoever, are plants that people already have planted for me, or weeds. I'm good at weeds (plural, not weed you idiots). Ask Jay - How pretty was my backyard when it got all done up 2 years ago, and how er.. not pretty is it now? Sometimes it's pretty, it's strange - it grows grass in winter, and weeds in summer - it's kind of like it's making a deal that it'll look pretty when it wants to, and then compromise with shit awful ugly weeds in the summertime. The only bonus about that is if i let the weeds grow big enough, and then run them over with the lawnmower (which I did last weekend) all of the weeds will die until next summer. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Weed killer does not work in my garden, I have mutant weeds.

Anyway, B and I planted some plants today - we bought 4 punnets of seedlings, and stuck them into 3 seperate pots - one of each seedling per pot (3 seedlings per punnet) and then B planted some seeds that BigPong decided we needed. Not that I remember what they're called lol. Oh and I also found some half dead er... Idunnos..I think that's their species name.. but they're still growable so I'll give it a burl - if they drop dead oh wells, they cost me $0.50c so who cares right?

Anyway, here's the potted plants and the 4 punnets with the BigPong seeds in them



and here are the labels for the original punnets



I can actually tell the difference between all 4 of the plants I bought - I specifically bought 4 plants that look pretty, but are all different looking, just so I can look intelligent when people ask me what they are.

These guys are going into a mini garden I've decided I'm going to create outside my kitchen window. It might encourage me to stand at the sink more often if I can see something other than well.. weeds and rocks lol. I figure my hands will automatically start washing dishes by association if I'm just standing there admiring the view.

Oh, I also have some um.. what're those plants that are really good for summertime coz they don't need to be watered often? (No, not weeds, get lost).. I also have some of them in my backyard, and I know that they're easy to plant - Take some pieces off the already established bits, put in ground. It does the rest. No seriously, that's how i managed to actually grow some of the plants in my backyard. My landlady gave me a shopping bag (we do things classily in the western suburbs here) full of offcuts of the squishy plants that grow by sticking them in the ground.. and that's exactly what I did. So now, it's time to move some of them over to the other bit.

Yeah, I need a hobby. I suck at everything I do most days lol but maybe, just maybe, I wont suck too much at this.

(Didn't I say that last time?)
