Last night I ventured out of my tiny apartment, *gasp* wait for it... twice.*no gasp, because you just died of surprise.* Firstly, I had a romantic date with myself at the movies seeing Into the Woods, both because I really wanted to see it, and because I couldn't take another uneventful day. I loved it. And that's pretty much the entire story. It's a good one, huh?
Secondly, I headed into Newtown to watch some of the Short and Sweet Top 80 plays. and I even braved the trains full of Drunk Soccer fans decked out in green and gold. I got to see a giant tarp full of water imitating the ocean, and then get splashed by it, a fully grown black man dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz with a rubber chicken instead of a dog, and a guy wearing a suit and horn rimmed glasses attempt to eat a raw fish. It was a good night, followed by Nutella pizza that as of last year,(according to a sign pushed behind an old family picture,) was among the 20 best in Sydney, 10 of which were in Newtown. I suppose if I get really bored, I can try to hunt down all 10 this year. Which would also motivate me into an intense gym routine and take up a LOT of time. I'm just saying, the option is there,
Today I went underwear shopping just to get myself out of the house again, and managed to spend an hour and a half doing it, despite only buying two sets. Window shopping may be another avenue that I should pursue. I then came home to bake another loaf of bread, had a conversation with my mum on the phone during which the only way I could get reception was to hang upside down (before I realised towards the end of the call that I could just turn the phone upside down instead,) and then I made a batch of redskin fudge, which you will be pleased/surprised to know that I have not eaten a single piece of. Yet.
Currently I am watching British comedy, and am having issues with the people who program the ads in between shows. I just saw one for the Sports bra brand Berlei, which used Serena Williams to convince ladies that these bras - very necessarily - control and eliminate bounce (because even a B cup can bounce up to 8cm during exercise,) and this was followed by a Priceline ad beginning with the phrase "Get your bounce back this summer." Who didn't realise that this would be a bad idea? I mean, it's not like it's offensive or anything, and I doubt the companies are going to sue the channel, but it just makes the programmer look stupid. Or maybe it makes people like me look stupid for even caring, but guess what? I don't mind, because I need to keep my brain from rusting somehow.

Little Duck
