Pih… so bored….

Mood: Soooo bored
Listening to: Sweeney Todd – A little priest  *sings*

*pretends to be dancing gingerly around* THEN WHO ARE WE TO DENY IT IN HEEEERE!!! (with cool english accent)

Yes, I am so very very bored. Not that I listen to Sweeney Todd only when I’m bored… it’s like the means to my unboredness…because I find really pleasure in listening to it. Especially the accents. They are the best. My problem is.. my english is kinda posh… but I try to unposh it.

And I’m so tired. Woke up at a little after 4am… sweating my eyeballs out… so I opened the door, went back to bed and couldn’t sleep. So I went to the toilet..went back to bed… still couldn’t sleep. At 4:45 am Jan woke up and went to work.. and right after he left I found out he forgot his cellphone because it was calling out to him, hoping to wake him up.. So after it had been calling three or four times I went down and threw a few pillows over it so I wouldn’t hear it… Went back to bed and sleep was nowhere to be found, so I read. Around 6am I finally fell back to sleep. Woke up at 7:45 am, took my pill and went back to sleep… Woke up again a little after 9 am…

“I’ll come again when you have judge on the menue *growl*”

So yeah… it’s been a long day…
AND one of the horses in one of the paddocs next to our house got out… ran about for a bit, sparred with another horse and then ran up to the garden belonging to the jail… and from there onto the road… and that’s the last I saw of it…
I’m pretty sure they found it, tho… they are good at their job, them people.. them hooorse people…

And then there’s the online movie thingie…
G, the movie putter-upper, has been putting up loads of movies lately, and I’ve had visitors and stuff… Well, my dad, but its still visit.. So now I’m finally caught up… and last weekend he put up movies even when he had said he wouldn’t… AND NOW!!! THIS weekend… no movie… typical… especially when I need it. Your fault, G… I’m bored.. I needed a movie… But it must be said that he is great! He found one of the movies I wanted to see… so I felt pretty special when he did that.. lol. Haven’t seen “Maximum Overdrive” in AAAAAAAGES… and poof… there is was…
The only thing I remembered from it was a green fogmist thing and a truck with a green clownface….
I had even forgotten that Emilio Estevez was in it…

“And are you beautiful and pale with yellow hair, like her…. blah… JOHAAAAAAAAANNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~”

Oh… and the scarf… I’m still working on it.  I just think I need a little more yarn and then I’m done…
Contemplating weather to get 4 or 5 balls of yarn each of the colours. I can always sell it back to the yarn lady..
And I got some other yarn I can sell back… I just hope I gots the reciept… heh… *sweats*
And its getting so long… last I tried it on it went from the floor, around my neck, down to my thighs and over my shoulder again… and like midway down my waist…
One thing is for sure… I won’t be cold this coming winter XD
I’ll be all cool and wrapped up like a mummy…

OOOH!!! Another new thing…
I bought a new shampoo and conditionar… schwazcopf (sp?) and some other person… it’s called Syoss…
I got the volume one… and my GOD!!!! It smells heavenly <3 and yeah… so far my hair is more poofy… but it might be my imagination… idk. It smells great and it works… like.. make my hair all clean, and that’s always a plus in a shampoo, yeah?

But now I can see the minute hand… on the digital clock on my computer ( -_- ) is 11 past 10.. which means… I can finally go to bed =D
Yes, I know it’s early, but I play Animal Crossing and then read, so time passes like poof… and when I finally do fall asleep it’s almost like midnight… What can I say.. I love my bed :3
And I need to brush my teef and stuff. So that takes a little time too… and well… I want to go to bed… Starting to freeze my toes off…

Anyways… I’m sure I’ll write again when I’m bored or have something else to write/bitch about… :3

Night night

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, hopefully not gonna be pinged silly….

Mood: Splendid
Listening to: …well…. Die Hard on TV….

Yeah, I just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince…
To be honest, it was a good movie… although, of course, WB couldn’t help but change things… Oh, and before I go on… SPOLER ALERT!!!!!!

WB cockup… They did actually do a good job of following the book…. but… the Weasly house… WHY, and I do mean WHYYYYYYY did they blow the house up? It had NO meaning… There was absolutely NO point to it what so ever!!!!
My guess is that they had a period in the movie filled with no action time and decided “Meh, boring here… we need action… let’s burn the house down…” “Yeah, that’ll work…”
No, it doesn’t… it’s just annoying… This means that the house will either be miraculously restored for the next movie when the wedding happens OR the Weasley’s move somewhere without a forwarding adress..
I think that WB didn’t think about how Ron will be able to go on the advanture thingie with Harry… He’s supposed to be home from school.. having Dragon Pox or something… but he tought the house moaning spirit thingie to imirate him or whatever… if the house has been burned to the ground, the spirit thingie is gone too…
Anyways…
I guess I’m being way to chritical… this is the wizarding world we are speaking of, after all… lol.. anything can happen..

The best part, by far, to me, was when Ron was all lovestruck… Ruphert Grint is a very underastimated actor… He is good…

But now I am off to bed… Animal Crossing can’t play itself, you know…
Oh, excitement there too… I caught every bug there is in town not too long ago… I was very happy… lol

Lene

erm… ello…

Mood: oh, just fine
Listening to: nothing…

I really don’t get you.. not you, but you… you who spam.. Do you really think I am interested in Viagra?
I have no use for it… so, please stop!

In other news…
It’s hotter here than it is… where it’s usually very hot… Outside the coast of Africa… Las Palmas and those kind of places…
It’s so hot here my teeth are sweating…
But I’m not complaining.. I’m sure I was begging for heat this winter.. lol
Well, thanks… just what I wanted… ^_^

I’ve also taken a knitting hiatus… in this heat I don’t feel it very tempting to knit.. So sorry, Tom Baker, but I will get the scarf done by fall… I will be wearing the lovely scarf later this year…
However, I know that the colours are all wrong, but I don’t care… it was the colours I had, so that’s what I’m using…
It’s still very late 70’s early 80’s feel to it.. and that’s what matters.

But if you excuse me, I’ll go cut my legs of and put them in the freezer..
Update coming later at some point..

Lene

WTH?

Mood: Good, but puzzles..
Listening to: Nothing..

So yeah…
I tried to update the blog entry about my Doctor Who scarf with pictures and stuff, but the “add an image” button isn’t working.
I so hope this isn’t going to be a trend… that it’s a tiny glitch… I just updated the thing, so they had better fix!

So… for now we’ll have to live without pictures… D=

And… over to something else.
I was watching Rachael Ray, as I often do… I find her program very entertaining and informative… anyways… for some reason she had Mariah Carey on… I’ve never really liked her… I don’t know why. Something about her that rubs me the wrong way. But I will say that she is a pretty woman… well, used to be… when she could move her face.
Honestly, I’m almost positive she had either been in an accident and couldn’t move beacuse she had a body cast under her clothes, but they were very tight fitting so I doubt that.
She had O.D’d on botox and been to the chiropractor and snapped her spine…
or she was hungover… on booze and pills… she seemed out of it..
I’m not saying this because I hate her guts, but she WAS weird. She hardly smiled, she hardly laughed, and when she did she sounded like a half dead seagul, and her body was so rigid you’d think she had a stick up her butt…
She was just weird… Surely she couldn’t be nervous… I don’t know anyone as down to earth as Rachael Ray… of course I’d do a fangirl squeel if I saw her, but I wouldn’t go all emotionless and look like a deer in headlights.
When you consider all the stars visiting RR, it was so painful to watch her talk to Carey…
My heart goes out to you, RR…

Anyways… I’ve ranted enough…
Now all I have to do is wait for the picture thingie to work again…
Hope it happens soon…

Doctor Who scarf

Mood: Pretty good… I feel like I’ve accomplished something today… We painted one wall of the garage…
Listening to: Dango Daikazoku

So yeah…
A new project.  I have long said that I would knit a Doctor Who scarf, and finally I’ve started. You’ll find the original recipe for which one I want to make here.  Of course I couldn’t find the right yarn, or the right colours, so I made do with what I found…  Here you can see what they used, both yarn and colour, and you get some smashing pointers if you want to be a bit more extravagant.
You’ll also find, here, how you have to knit the scarf to make it correct… and my lord is it.. well, not complex… but… bothersome.. but the result is cool :3

I found this:

The yarn I’m using is called “easy” and it’s 100% Australian merino wool…The knitting needle is, according to the yarn band thingie, supposed to be 8-9… but I’m using a 7.. but the lady in the yarn store said it’d be fine… and she’s a pro, so I’m totally trusting her… AND I’ve seen how the knitting looks, and it looks gooood… XD

There are pictures, but seeing as my blog is being a douche right now, I’m going to post them later…

With the colour number etc…

Burgandy. Colour number 4219

Purple. Colour number 4855

Orange. Colour number 3619

As you can see the last picture taken was on june 21st… and I had knitted some…

and HEY!!!! Finally I can add pictures again XD
Finally… And it means I can picture update what I’ve done…
Gosh, I wish I had been a good girl and taken pictuers…. oh well…

I just took this picture… so this is about a months work… Not diligently working my fingers to the bone a months work, but a few hours here and a few hours there.
If you look closely you can see the horrors of not getting all your yarn in one go, but even if you do get it all in one go, you might still get colour differences. There are patches of slightly darker orange, but I seriously didn’t notise it till I was well past it (darkly lit room) and I couldn’t be bothered to rip it all up to change it. I’ve already had to rip up some of my work. I knitted the wrong colour, which can happen… but it was only that one time, and I am NOT planning on doing that again…
I’ve only got a few days work left now.. I’ll take a picture again when I’m all done… well… with the knitting itself… and again when I’ve attached the tassles.

Update will be heading this way…

Lene

Update:
It’s quite a while since I finished the scarf itself. It’s looking very nice. And I’ve spent weeks not bothring to put the tassles on because someone was making fun of it… *scowls*
But since I have good friend who back me and my rediculous ideas up, I finally tassled up the scarf last night.

I first started with them like 4 inches long… and tied them quite tight/close together… but the I read somewhere that they was supposed to be 12 inches long, so I undid everything I had done… and when I had started to make the 12 inch long tasslets, I found out that the 4 inch ones was right after all… but I had already started with the 12 inch ones, and I thought they look better than the 4 inch ones… so this is it…
Tom Baker, I hope you like XD

Waiting for mother

Mood: Good, but my back hurts… (Please, blessed painkiller, work thy maic!!!)
Listetning to: Mike Row… Dirty Jobs…

So yeah…
My mother is coming to visit. It’s only a few days… Leaving on Sunday.
We were expecting them to come somewhat late, but appearently they left early, so Jan and I suddenly got one hell of a short time to clean the floors and so forth.
It’s all done now, tho… so that’s good… I’m expecting them any minute.

In other news…
I read that President Obama is getting yelled at for killing a fly on live tv… A FLY, PEOPLE!!! A FUCKING FLY!!!! Like, there is none left in the world… *scowl* At least Obama managed to KILL the darn thing and not knock himself out in the attempt!

Well, I should go do somthing, I guess…
Talk to you later…

Yay, I got The Sims 3

Mood: Tired and cold… even though cold isn’t a mood… But it does do something to my mood.. like.. drain me and give me headache and get me all pissy and stuff…
Listening to: Nothing at the moment… the music is dead…

So yes..
I gots me The Sims 3.
Not played that much, but I have made some people, built a few houses… gotten jobs etc..
One thing that bugs me about the whole thing is that the house building mode is fucking with my head… I want the good old “slide with the mouse” thing, but here you have to rotate and zoom in or out.. and it never goes where you want it to go… *sighs* Maybe my problem is that I make too large houses…
And if you were wondering… the Motherlode cheat works… =D
Other than that I really don’t know what else I can tell you about Sims 3…

My Venus Flytrap… I think I killed it even before I planted the poor thing.. I’ve been waiting for.. what… 4 and a half weeks.. and nothing…
I don’t think I was meant to grow anything this year… which is fine, I think…

Did I tell you I got my old job back?
If I haven’t told you before: ZOMG! I KNOW XD
If I have told you before: Never mind…

Well… I should go… do something or something…. but I am super bored today… *hangs head*
And I got a headache so I don’t think siming is a good idea right now…
Maybe some food and water will help…

Creaking houses and dentists

Mood: Happy
Listening to: LA Ink on tv…

So.. I just got back from the dentist.. And I had no cavities XD
So yeah, I’m super happy about that.. And he was well chaffed that I had quit smoking and was flossing and stuff so yeah.. Happy dentist makes Lene happy too… and he really didn’t do a whole lot.. just removed some plack (or whatever it’s called) took some x-rays of my teeth and it cost me a small fortune. Luckily Jan offered to pay it for me.
He’s going to Germany tomorrow… I hope he has a good time.

Oh yeah… Creaking houses.
I was talking to my bud, Ellie… she’s home alone, and she got all upset about her house making weird noises. It is true.
I’ve notised the same thing with my house when Jan is working nights.
It always creaks a little more and louder when he’s not around..
Why is that???

Anyways…
I’ll write when I have something more to write about…

Lene

It had to happen…

Mood: Slighty pissed off
Listening to: Nothing, not in the mood…

We finally found out if Jan got the job or not…. He didn’t… Why?
Because the one who got the job will need Jan as his right hand man… And that Jan was the best right hand man they had there. And that with all the changes in store he’d need all the help he could get.
I know.. it’s totally fucked up.

I, personally, think that Jan didn’t get the job because he’s been working there for too long and he’d make too much money. The “kid” who got the job is younger than ME!
I know, I know… “How can Lene know that the guy isn’t the right guy for the job? The people who work there must know what they are talking about…”
I’ll have you know that I’ve worked at the factory, I’ve worked with the dude… and even though I haven’t worked with him for over 4 years, I don’t think he’d the right dude for the job.And the people who work there haven’t got a clue…
By them not hiring Jan is a clear example of how inept they are at hiring people… By hiring Jan’s foreman (the one that’s there now.. not the new one) they show how inept they are at hiring people.
And by keeping so so so many people who shouldn’t even BE at the factory shows how inept they are at the whole running a well oiled machinery thing.

They fire people who shouldn’t be fired and keeping/hire people who have no business there.
And before you guys start giving me crap about “oh, she’s just pissed she got fired”
I didn’t get fired.. As a temp I was just.. not used… But I had been working there for three years and I SHOULD have been hired. I would have done a damned good job too.  But they, again, fucked up by hiring people who shouldn’t be hired… and I got screwed over for it.
But on the other hand… If they hadn’t stopped using me I wouldn’t have gotten the job I had last summer.. the best job in the world…

Anyways… I’ve made buns today…
I didn’t make them yesterday… I had a bad case of lazy…

My Buns

My Buns

But on the bright side… they didn’t hire the other dick face OR the chick. So they were right there. I’ll give them that.
And I have to say they were delicious.
I have never made buns that big before.  And even though I screwed up a little with the kneading and stuff before it got the 50 min of rest to swell… they turned out great… =D
So at least something good came out of this..

Anyways… I just needed to vent…
Although, I have been venting to everyone who wants to listen… and so far it’s only Jan, Camilla and Ellie…
Jan vent back just as much, understandably… Camilla is.. well… idk… upset that he didn’t get the job, but not like it’s gonna ruin her life… as it shouldn’t.. lol
And Ellie agrees with me. He should have gotten the job.. Especially since her dad didn’t get the job he applied for.
But then Carma is a bitch, and things will come back to bite people in the ass…
We’ll see how good a choice they made… I know they made a poor one… I hope for their sake I’m wrong, but I know I’m not…

Its not growing!!!!

Mood: Oh, so goooood…
Listening to: Watching tv… so it’s an australian lady working for the Australian Boadercontroll.. the show… you know… if you don’t then… too bad for you… It’s a good show.. very interesting…

My Venus Flytrap isn’t growing…
I planted the seeds like two weeks ago, and I haven’t seen anything yet… 🙁
It should start to buud soon, I hope…
I know that it says that it’ll take 4-6 weeks… but I should see some kinda of sign of life… right?
Ugh, I suck at growing things…
The groing house thingie I had… I planted, as I’ve said before, strawberries and herbs… The bloody thing blew over right as my basil started to bud, and  haven’t picked it up yet..
I really should, tho.. because I need parcley and koriander/celanthro…

Well.. *sighs*
Since last time nothing really major has happened…
Well, apart from my friend Matt had his bday..
so… HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!
I told him on his bday too.. but it’s always nice to REMEMBER things like that… *cough*

I also have plans of making rolls today.. .
And f I do I will post a picture.

Oh, and Jan, my beloved, was supposed to go to Germany on a work thingie today. He got a emergency passport and everything… yesterday he asked the guys he was traveling with if they should travel toether to work and then travel on to the airport, and that’s when he found out that the trip has been postponed. Till NEXT wedensday.
So yeah… all the plans I made for lounging around in my Spa towel has been postponed till wedensday next week… and that’s fine.
Gives me, also, more time to charge my camera.. Jan is borrowing it when he goes, and stuff.
And here we were stressing to get everything he need to travel.. Even got his doctor to write out a thingie for his hip… he later called the hospital he had his last check up on the hip and asked if they could send him a more professional looking thingie for his hip to show costumes or the metal detector thingie at the airport.. In norway it’s easy to show.. in germany it’s harder since the note is in norwegian… but there shouldn’t be a problem saying “I have a false hip joint” and show them the scar.
AAAND!!! His work is looking for a new foreman for his shift.. and he did apply… yesterday he had his second interview.
To be honest. If he doesn’t get it there is something wrong with the people who decides. He is clearly the best choise. Especially if they pick the chick from the confection department. She, I believe, has no idea what he mashines downstairs in the main factory area does. They need someone who knows, and Jan does. He even knows how to operate the mashines in the confection area… And he usually doesn’t work up there.
Well… They’ll deside who gets the job this week… and I know who it should be.
He was passed over before and a butt licking YES man got the job instead.
He’s the kind of guy who favours some people and spend the whole working day talking to them instead of actally working. And goes to sleep in the middle of a night shift.
Oh well.. not my problem…

Anyways.. I should get dressed…
Post picture later if I bake…
