Life of Crime, Books

Mum and I went shopping today.

We originally went to go get some library books I had reserved.

I bought a yellow top and two boob tubes.

I also bought a new purse, which nearly matched my red hand bag.

I couldn't believe how many people were going into Strandbags.

Mum and I got a blueberry muffin and juice for morning tea.

We then went to Suzanne Grae.

We spent so long in there, as Mum kept trying on different pieces of clothing, some of which I picked out and they suited her.

The ladies working in the shop we trying to remember where a certain piece of clothing was to be put in the store and even though it was first time there, I knew where it was supposed to go.

We then bought Chinese food for lunch.

We got to the library, where Mum got her own card (well a new one because her other one was too old) and I picked up my ten reserved items; CSI: and CSI: Miami books, James Bond books and two CSI: Season 4 DVD's.

I wandered around the library while Mum sat and read.

We ended up getting home and 2 o'clock only to realise that the security locking system on the DVD's hadn't been opened.

After dinner, Dad and I went back to the library, where the lady who had served me before recognised me, and opened the DVD's in two seconds.

Heat Wave

For the last year, I have been looking for the CSI: Miami books. Today when I went to the library, I found some. I originally went to go find Mermaids by Patty Dann (the book based on the movie Mermaids) but they didn't have it. I ended up getting out a CSI: and CSI:Miami book and a book that Mum wanted to get out. I signed up to get a library card as well.

After that, my family and I did some general shopping, including getting some digital photos put in.

I went home and I made some Potato and Leek soup, which I haven't made in such a long time, but with a different recipe. I had to blend it when it was cooked. I put it all in, put my hand over the cover and turned it on. The cover then came off and a little flew out. Mum then told me not to push on the lid because I am putting pressure on the motor. I told her we have to hold the cover. Mum turned it on and the cover flew off and soup went everywhere! It went all over Mum's clothes, the bench and the floor. Luckily for me, none got on me, but unfortunate for Mum, she burnt herself on the hot soup.

I started reading the CSI: Miami book called Heat Wave. The book is set before Speedle dies. The characters act exactly the same, way like on the show with Eric and Speedle joking around and Horatio acting like he usual does (the whole hands on hips, I'm in control gig) . What is strange though is that it is set when it is raining. It hardly ever rains on the show...

Banned

SA:MP = San Andreas Multiplayer
Stephen got our IP address banned. He used a rocket launcher from a minigame to kill people which is (apparently) against the rules. So we are banned for two days, even though I did nothing.

Didn't do that much today. Played some SA:MP before Stephen got us banned, watched some CSI :Miami and cleaned my room...

How interesting...

The Escort

Listening to (Exchange) by Massive Attack

Today was a more fulfilling today compared to the rest of the week. With the last Chemistry topic long gone, we practised naming and writing out the structural formulas of certain organic compounds which was quite enjoyable.

Religion was spent with the class listening to the rest of the class and their songs about freedom.

For English, we were going to do an essay question on viewing images and I had planned my essay on the questions she had already given us, but then she changed the question to one that had words I didn't understand. Once I found out what they meant, it was quite enjoyable to write seeing as I had a lot to say, but seeing as it was only a practise essay, lots of people were talking to it was hard to concentrate.

I had a double period of Applicable Maths, which we continued to work on the Poisson Distrubution chapter and I got quite a lot done seeing as I was talking quite a bit.

At lunch, Ms Perks called for me. I was thinking, "What have I done wrong?" but all she wanted Wilson and I to do was to escort two women to the Staff Room. I came to the conclusion that they were English teachers and that they were here for a meeting, most likely for moderating. They asked us questions about the school and they also asked if we were Prefects, seeing as we were escorting them. That made me feel important.

In Art we continued to make our jewellery.

In my free period, we played cards again, but in the library in front of the Year 10's who had to do their Religion Assignment research on the computers.

When I got home I watched two more episodes of CSI: Miami. "Slow Burn" was amazing. It was the second time that I saw Alexx and Eric nearly die from being caught in an Everglade fire. A very good episode.

Tomorrow Never Comes Until It's Too Late

Listening to No W by Ministry

Today was my Chemistry test. Not too hard and not too easy, but quite good.

I felt like I was falling asleep in Human Biology again. It must be something about that room.

English consisted of us analysing the representations of gender in visual texts. In a Pepsi ad, Blair suggested that the picture had a sexual message to it, so the class was spilt in a battle of whether the woman in the picture was trying to be seductive or she angry. The discussion lasted for at least ten minutes.

The free period was again spent playing cards.

In religion, we had a man come out to talk about his life at a seminary. The talk was actually an hour spent asking him questions, some of which were not exactly appropriate. By the end of it, I noticed a lot of people were losing interest because it was mostly the guys in the front row asking the questions and the people in the back rows were unable to hear.

At lunch I was explaining to people what makes a fruit a fruit and they were so surprised to find out that a capsicum was a fruit. We were also discussing the unusual shortened versions of names that don't sound anything like the full name like Dick is short for Richard. We also tried to find a boys name that started with U. If anybody knows, please leave me a comment.

Art was spent with us picking out the beads we wanted to use for our jewellery piece and I started making a ring out of copper wire.

In Applicable Maths, we learnt about Poisson Distribution. Ms Vivian gave us another applet for our calculators which are so helpful and quick for finding the answers.

When I got home, I made my own copper wire ring whilst watching CSI: Miami. I have watched fourteen episodes so far.

Just Another Day...

Listening to Everywhen by Massive Attack

Not much happened today. In art, I drew designs of what I wanted my pendant to be and I also curled wire, which was quite fun.

My free Chemistry period involved us playing 13 for an hour instead of doing any work.

I got my in-class essay results back and I got a 6M (equivalent to 75%). That is the first level 6 I have received for an in-class essay and the first A grade I received all year in English. I was so suprised that I got such a high mark seeing as I thought I would have only got a level 5H at the most.

See? Not very interesting was it? Probably the most interesting part of the day was watching two more episodes of CSI: Miami and eatting cupcakes.

Yesterday and Today

Listening to Maria from West Side Story.

After waiting more than a year from it to come out in the shops, I finally purchased the CSI: Miami Season 2 box set. I watched six of the episodes yesterday, five of which I know the story to very well and one of which I had only watched once. I was talking to Diem on the phone just an hour ago and she told me that Emily had said I hadn't talked about CSI: Miami in a while. While that is quite true, seeing as I had stopped watching it on TV for two reasons: that Channel 9 moved CSI: Miami to a different time slot and that the story line wasn't as good as those of the earlier seasons. Well now I have more reason to talk about CSI: Miami again.

Yesterday was Babcia's 70th birthday party which we hosted. Everybody from Mum's side of the family came except for Uncle Martin, Griffin, Austin and Justin since they live on the other side of the country. It was great to see Aunty Leonnie again after such a long time. We had a great arrangement of food such a pierogies (a Polish pasta dish with a potato and cheese filling), kapusta (a Polish cabbage dish with mixed in sausage), sausage rolls, pies, open sandwiches and mini pizzas. We purchased her birthday cake from a Polish shop in Sorrento called Chopin. The cake was made of chocolate mousse and covered with large chocolate shavings. It also had a chocolate plaque with "Happy Birthday Mum" written in Polish. It tasted delicious!

The day consisted of eatting, talking and the cousins playing the Nintendo 64. Stephen was unbeatten in Diddy Kong Racing for a while, until I took over and then he took over me again. I also spent a good 5 minutes arguing with Jason about whether GoldenEye was a better game than Perfect Dark on the Nitendo 64. We also played Battle in Mario Kart. After playing for a good 3 hours, all of us had become sleepy from staring at the bright lights coming fromn the TV in a darken room.

I tried Champagne for the first time. I don't like beer or wine at all, but now I found a liking to champagne. It was "Bella" by Yellowglen and it was pink and fruity. I want a bottle for my 18th now!

Today I have spent my time doing Applicable homework and watching more CSI: Miami episodes. Not very fun.
