Seriously, they've been screaming (literally) at each other for the past two hours. ENOUGH.
Am working from home today because of the icky, rainy, sleety weather outside. Also am expecting a package from DHL at some point, though who knows when it'll actually get here. Delivery people seem to move at their own pace that's completely different from the rest of the world. Also, I made a batch of chili and it's cooking in the crock pot right now. It smells soooooo good in the apartment. =)
Chloe is cracking me up. She's playing with a little pink mouse (after the death of the purple mouse) and every now and then shakes her head so the mouse flies out of her mouth so she can then go and pounce on it. So cute.
Okay, back to work.

I'm Queensland till I die!
I'm Queensland till I die!
I know I am, I'm sure I am,
I'm Queensland till I die!
<Bad Scottish Accent>
For I'm Queensland crazy,
I'm Queensland mad,
The Queensland Roar have taken away
The little bit o' sense I had,
And it would take a dozen strongmen,
To drag me to the door,
Because I'm a supporter of,
The mighty Queensland Roar.
</Bad Scottish Accent>
Allo' Allo' We are the Queensland boys
Allo' Allo; We are the Queensland boys
And if you are an A.U. fan surrender or you'll die,
Because I follow Queensland....

God I wish I was going to Adelaide tonight rather than Monday morning. Tonight the Mighty Queensland Roar seek to destroy Adelaide United's 6 match undefeated streak and their 4 match winning streak. The Roar are undefeated in 4 matches, taking the full three points away from 2 of them. Adelaide are on top of the table and playing at home, but 3 weeks ago we played the (then) Top-Of-The-Table Central Coast Marriner at home and came home with the win.
GO THE ROAR!!!!! COLOUR ME ORANGE!!!!!

1. A thought for churches that want to hold rock concerts: Just because you have a worship band at your church doesn't mean that your facilities and equipment are suited to a rock show. Even more importantly, just because you have a guy who runs sound for your worship service and it sounds okay doesn't mean he's qualified to do an event like this.
2. A thought for rock bands that want to play in churches: Leave half your amps at home. The room will NOT require it. And, if that is in fact the case... DON'T USE THEM ANYWAYS!
If you don't live in Oz then you've missed one of life's great pleasures. The pleasure isn't about living here, goodness knows it's a dull place at best; no the pleasure is in the wildlife.
I was hanging out the washing today (domestic goddess *strikes a pose* ) and was amused to see a magpie hunting grubs. OK, I know that doesn't sooound like much and that maybe I need to get a life but just wait, there's more to this.
In Spring, magpies go slightly nutsoid. The male's -unsuitable language warning: testicles grow tenfold and they get very aggressive and try to kill pretty much anything. They will dive-bomb humans that walk anywhere near the nests (like, in the same city as) and try to rip off your scalp. The effect on their brains however is much more amusing.
Like over exercised athletes, the added testosterone in the bird's systems makes the magpies twitchy. they go about talking to themselves and chortling, almost as if they're laughing at "the voices."
Back to the magpie that was hunting grubs in my backyard this morning. As I stood there hanging clothes, I heard a strange little voice behind me, chattering. I turned around and saw on the ground about 5 metres away, a small black and white shape. It was a magpie, out for some breakfast. It was walking about as they do, kind of a strutting and talking to itself. It chortled and laughed and even sounded as though it was yelling at times. As I looked at it, the bird stopped in it's tracks, looked up at me and stopped talking. I felt as though I had interrupted his conversation with himself.
This marvelous bird looked for all the world like either a drunk, staggering about talking to unheard voices or a yuppie in a fine, glossy business suit, talking too loudly on his mobile 'phone while shopping for groceries.
Life is good.

"From the inside out!"
FROM THE INSIDE OUT!!!
"God's looking at me!"
GOD'S LOOKING AT ME!!!
"From the inside out!"
FROM THE INSIDE OUT!!!
"I hope he likes what he sees!"
I HOPE HE LIKES WHAT HE SEES!!!
"From the outside I might not look so good
But you might change your mind if only you could
See me from the inside out, inside out."
C is one of my favorite male counselors - just because he loves his kids so much, and you can see it in everything he does with them. Remembering glancing back behind at the guys' cabin, and seeing C bellowing at some random kid on this, both of them trying to out-shout the other. Makes me laugh.
