Rain. It hadn't rained for almost two weeks and I was starting to get worried that winter was coming to an end but the rain graced us with its presence tonight : ). However is was rather brief and it is very dark outside so I wasn't able to get a photograph of it but I will share a wonderful one that I found in Google images and that I'm sure the rain tonight looked very similar to.

New Found Glory which is a rather delightful punk-pop band from South Florida. I am most fond of the song Too Good To Be, which over the past 3ish weeks I have played 300+ times with the rest of the album's play count coming in close to that.

There is just something about it that I keep on coming back to. Every time that I put another band on I get fed up with it pretty quickly and put New Found Glory on again - even Fall Out Boy, who I have had a long living love affair with.

Htebazile Nodsdoh

. . . is my Jedi name.

This morning, on the radio, they were asking what everyone's Chinese Olympic name was (in complete bad taste I thought but still mildly amusing) - the first three letters of the street you live on and then the first 3 letters of your mother's maiden name - and I got to thinking about all of the others, like Rock Star name and Stripper name, and I came across a website that listed a heap of different ones. I'm rather fond of my Soap Opera name - Elizabeth Lawley.

Anyway, I can't even remember the point of this post so I guess I'm just going to have to leave it there.

Oh wait, I remember now.

And I saw the Jedi one and fell completely in love.

The End.

Dresses from Mod Cloth. Such as this wonderfully loverly Georgia Peach Dress. It truly is loverly.











and this equally loverly Marmalade Cat Dress. It truly is loverly also.

"C-3PO: He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you.

Han Solo: Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3PO: But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.

Han Solo: That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.

Chewbacca: Grrf.

C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win."


Is my favorite beyond favorite Star Wars quote, I even very nearly once got it printed on a t-shirt.

I was reading this post by quietmilk the other day and while I don't agree with her about not liking Star Wars - "I find your lack of faith disturbing." - , as I am a long time lover, I now have a desperate craving for some Star Wars Bubble Gum.

Flickr Favorites III

I appoligise for the lack of posting of late but would like to share with you some more of my Flickr favorites.
I kind of went crazy the other day and went on a faving spree - mainly of the same person as well. Oh well, it's always nice to appreciate good art.
