I'm kinda bored. I'm just not filled with enthusiasm for work today (could have something to do with only just getting off the net by midnight, but I'm not casting blame... *g*)

I am, however, enjoying my new boots. Black ankle-length, low-heeled, leather boots that I bought on Saturday for $50 and are really, really comfortable (with my arch supports inside). So, yay.

Yeah, I don't really have anything to say. It's raining outside so I don't want to go out for lunch, and I didn't bring a book. Unfortunately, I do have to call Centrelink, so I'll do that now.

*sigh* I also have Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk running through my head. (I blame dammitcarl. I'm sure she mentioned it.) As nice a song as it is, it's not exactly energising or filling me with enthusiasm to do anything...

I'm also tossing up whether I want to keep my Welcome icon. I like it, a lot, but it's not really fandom related, and I could dump it and replace it with slodwick's (I think - tell me if I'm wrong) Giles ("My fandom was always picked last for gym class"). But... It's a toss up between a pretty boy, who was really good when I saw Caberet, and my very own Slodicon.

Yeah, even my LJ entry's pretty half-hearted. ^.^

Okay, it's official. Bid goodbye to my lovely little boyband Emcee. He's no longer Welcome (sorry, coldn't resist the pun!).

Long live Giles!

And I now know that this is a GIP...

I love my city rambling...

Okay, how can we tell I have the house to myself again? Three buttered rolls, a peppermint creme and a banana is considered a well-balanced meal! *g*

Well, I'm just online to keep myself awake until QaF starts, but I'm pretty stuffed. Got out of work at 5pm (I came late this morning due to cancelled trains, but couldn't be stuffed staying back tonight to make up for it...) and then wandered around the city in bookstores and music stores, and bought hair-accessory type thingies.

You know, sometimes when I walk through Melbourne I wonder how anybody doesn't love the city. At times I really am very fond of Melbourne, I care for it as my city, in a way that I never really connected with Canberra. It's fairly strange, but I really do like it. I like the conservatism that pervades the workers, and the alternative types/uni students wandering around. I like the combination of old and new buildings, and the practicality underlying the structure of the city (all squares and mainly straight lines). I like the fact that after days of a low level of rain, we can still have nights that are fairly warm and very pleasing.

So really, I had an evening of walking around for an hour or so wandering through shops and loving my city. It's very strange to me that I am so fond of a place. I mean, seriously, the number of people I know here is fairly small, and the number of people I consider friends is tiny. My immediate family is now all in Canberra, and will be for the short and foreseeable future, but I have no real wish to go back with them. When I moved back to Canberra a few years ago, I went because Mum was moving back (and then she decided to stay in Geelong, and I stayed up basically next-door to my dad and brother). If something happened, I wouldn't have any actual trouble moving back, I'm just fairly happy with where I am.

It's just very odd that someone who lives so firmly in her own bedroom, and I do, should feel an attachment to an area. I mean, transport my bed, TV, VCR and a computer with 'net connection to any room anywhere, and I'll still be extremely content But still, I love Melbourne.

I couldn't help wondering if this is how Lex feels about Metropolis, that sense of it being your city, of having a genuine connection to the buildings and the atmosphere around you. Or if he's travelled so much, and lived in so many places, that it's all much of a muchness, and it's Clark that's made Metropolis his home. Because either way you slice it, one or both of them must feel pretty strongly about the city to stay there, when they both have the opportunity to be anywhere.

Yeah, I'm rambling, but I'm tired and pretty content. Hey, tboy, when does QaF start?

(no subject)

QaF is starting... and I haven't caught up on LJ Friends...

Hmmm... time for taping and multitasking!

I'm tired. I would have loved to stay online and discussed (bitched about) Justin and Brian, and bitchy Micheal, but I'm stuffed.

I'm going offline, and I'm sure the commentary will keep until tomorrow night.
