Eating - Lettuce, homegrown! Now it takes a lot for me to get excited about lettuce (how 'bout you?) but my third attempt at homegrown leaves (first attempt: eaten by evil, nasty slugs; second attempt: went to seed before a single leaf could be harvested) was by far and away the most successful. Crisp, crunchy, tasty, fresh, with an added mineral content due to me not being able to get every speck of dirt of them no matter how much I washed them. I'm off to the garden centre this weekend for my third round of seedlings. Result!

Watching - The Ugly Truth. Cheap new releases from Monday to Wednesdays ($4 instead of the usual $9 overnight) at my local DVD store have inspired me to catch up on our movie viewing (that, and the complete bollocks on telly on Tuesdays). This week I picked this one and expected SO much more out of it. Silly, purile, lame, infeasible (I mean, would Heigl's character honestly flip her whole personality like that in a matter of days? What the!). Even that sexy Scottish lovely Gerard Butler couldn't rescue this meh movie for me.

I give it three chocolate fish out of ten for being a big fat waste of four bucks.





Listening - "The Only Exception" by Paramore. Sweet and simple.

Life According to Lubka.jpg


Reading - Life According to Lubka by Laurie Graham:
Pittsburgh was too small for Beryl Wexler. Barely out of high school, she changed her name to Buzz and set off for the bright lights of London. She never looked back...

Oh joy, a new Laurie Graham! One liners galore, clever dialogue, funny, honest, wonderful characters - it's been too long since her last book! Just when I was about to order it online a copy only goes and turns up on Whangarei Library's shelves. Thank you for saving me $28.99 plus postage and packing, Whangarei Library!

I'm saving this one for my long-lie in on Sunday morning. *Rubs hands with glee*
