It’s 25 minutes past 3pm and it’s 9 degrees Celcius. Awesome. At least the frequent rain might help the poor Murray River down here. A lil hard to do washing with this kinda weather though. If you hang your clothes out for a few days, it might get dry after awhile but the weak sun can still power out a few rays enough to bleach your clothes if left out for too long. Or you’d get that white line on your black t-shirt on the area where it folds on the clothesline. Here’s a helpful tip for everyone: Always wash and hang out/tumble dry your clothes inside out, unless you want the right side of your clothes to look faded, battered, and off-color.
Right now I have a cuddly polar bear cub purring himself to sleep next to me. I could rub his back and wake him up, but he might get all cranky and growl if I move him around too much. Ah, the joys of robotics! WiKKiD bought Blizzard for me to keep me company while he’s at work, and I feel less cold now looking at that fuzz ball being all comfy.
In other news, WiKKiD and I were invited to a party in September where the theme’s ‘Heroes and Villains’. You have no idea how excited I am about it — I’ve never been to a costume party! Naturally my geeky boyfriend and his friends decided it would be freaking sweet to go as Marvel comics characters (they are huge fans)… and X-Men characters to be precise.
Admittedly, already being somewhat of a geek myself, their influence rubbed off on me easily, and I’m currently looking for the perfect character. There were a few suggested for me, X-Men or not; Shadowcat, Lady Deathstrike, Psylocke, Jubilee, and Lady Punisher, but I’m pretty sure there are plenty other characters for me to contemplate.
WiKKiD decided to live up to his reputation of being nicknamed Wolverine for the past 8 years. He’s going all out to be Wolverine, from the clothes to even custom-making the metal blades. If it wasn’t for his resemblance, I think WiKKiD would’ve chosen to be a villainous character. Suffice to say that we’ve both gotta tone up a lil bit before then, and I think it’s a pretty good excuse to want to look good as a superhero type! After all, Hancock learned the hard way.
Hey, I was just passing through and found your site.
Just wanted to say, X-Men for the win!!!! If you post pictures of the costumes in September, I will be SO excited. I will be sure to return and check on that!…
From one geeky wolf to another.
