I felt it was time for someone to point out the attractiveness of Andy Ellis. I can't put a picture up because I don't know how, but there's an excellent one on the All Blacks website in the player diaries.
I love player diaries, full of wonderful irrelevancies like "I had a small lunch of half a chicken" and "I got up at 7AM and ate some cereal". Brilliant.
Sout Africa look threatening for the world cup. 36 - 0 against England. The Portugese looked like lovely fellas and they tried really hard... but it's not really the best build up. |

I got All Black autographs! I missed the bus home and was going to wait for the next bus at the library. I was walking there when I saw this huge crowd of people. Naturally, I went to see what they were looking at. It was the All Blacks signing. So I stayed and got autographs. I got Nick Evans (He smiled at me *swoon*), Leon McDonald, Anton Oliver, and Greg Rawlinson (I didn't even know who he was, but he signed my card before I could stop him). Oh, and Dan Carter :D
I went to the All Blacks vs Canada game. The first half was a little stressful (at one stage it was 12-10). The second half was a beautiful try-fest. Proper, flowing rugby is a beautiful thing.
The security people at the gates made us chuck out an unopened pack of Mallowpuffs. I was so angry - they're just doing that to make money, and if they didn't want people to take food in it should have said on the tickets in big red capitals NO FOOD OR DRINK OF ANY TYPE< OPENED OR UNOPENED MAY BE TAKEN INTO THE STADIUM.
Did You know that there are 867 different languages in Papua New Guinea.
I find tutoring frustrating. I'm sorry, but the girl I am tutoring is just plain stupid. There is no other word for it.

My word Tamati Ellison is attractive... he runs... he kicks with both feet... he steps... he passes... and he is ridiculously good-looking, particularly for a Rugby player. That is all I have to say.
Oh, except GO ALL BLACKS!!!!! |

We're losing the rugby! TO IRELAND! This is not right. The All Blacks aren't meant to lose! I can't watch. I'm hoping that by not watching I'll cause the All Blacks to do something wonderful. It's not the real All Blacks anyway, not the team for the world cup. It's a development squad. But we can't lose to Ireland! We need SuperCarter to fly in and save us.
In happier news, I have 6 House MD DVDs. It cost $89.95 for the boxed set at Whitcoulls, or $44.99 for the boxed set at Te Ware Whare. I decided against buying it at Whitcoulls. |

RATS! The All Blacks v. Ireland match at Waikato Stadium is sold out, except 1 seat that costs $105 and the general admission places behind the goal posts. I'm sad.
The Super 14 final was a farce. It was just silly to expect them to play in that fog. You couldn't even see what was going on on the TV.
I'm Happy! I have my ball gown! I couldn't wear the other one, even though it was lovely, because I found some stains on it. But I went shopping for a ball dress yesterday, with E. There was suprisingly little that was nice. I tried on 5 dresses, and went absolutely wild in the shoe warehouse. I found some lovely sandals that I wanted so badly, but I didn't get, because they wouldn't go with my dress. Later on I tried on shoes and dress together and realised that you can't even see the shoes.
Anyway, I'm the proud owner of a dark green strapless ball gown and extremely impractical strappy black sandals. The sandals will ensure that I cannot walk at all by the end of the ball. The dress is so incredibly beautiful! I tried it on in the shop and wasn't particularly impressed. It didn't feel secure, and it looked a bit funny. When I took it off I realised I'd been wearing it sideways. I'm just glad i realised myself and didn't have to be told by the shop lady! It was hilarious and mortifying at the same time. So I tried it on again, the right way round this time and WOW!
It has to be taken up a little bit though, because I have unnaturally short legs.
I am making Dad watch 'Dancing with the Stars'. TeeHee.
My maths teacher is a complete psycho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

You have to watch yourself when you sing along to songs. I was singing along to My Sharona, by The Knack (an awesome song, by the way) when I realised I was singing "I'm such a dirty man, I always get it up, for the touch of... My Sharona..." Oh dear.
The young man in the Speights ads looks scarily like Brendon McCullum.
I can't believe it. The Crusaders DREW with the bottom of the table Western Force last night. NOOOO! I bet John Mitchell's dancing.
I went to the book fair today. I bought 2 Richard Hadlee books, 1 book of interesting cricket stories, and one extremely amusing annual from 1980 called 'Oh Boy'. It has pictures of men they thought were hot (a bit like Cosmopolitan etc. have). One of them has a monobrow. How wrong.
I was watching a tape of the news from 1999 (the tape said it had a movie on it, but it didn't). They interviewed Chris Harris. He had hair. He looked strange. |
