Act Quickly, Think Slowly

I felt a little lonely this weekend because Victor was away; he went to visit his parents who live in Welkom from Friday night till yesterday morning. He fetched me when he got back this side and we went to Mr. Video and rented Eragon on DVD for us to watch at his place. We smoked some cherry hubbly bubbly too; I like making circles with the smoke, well at least I try to! I felt uneasy while he was gone but I felt a little better when he got back. Some days I just wish that he’s with me all the time and doesn’t have to leave but yeah…

My younger and older sister along with my brother-in-law to be went to the cinema at Key West on Saturday and watched Pirates of The Caribbean: At World’s End. I quite enjoyed it and will be buying the DVD when I can; I like Captain Jack Sparrow… We went to the nine o’clock show that night and walked out the cinema at midnight. The mall was so dead but this town is like that anyway…

Victor called the letting agent today to find out what’s going with our lease application. She said that it is taking longer than she expected and asked Victor to fax a copy of the application and lease agreement to her; apparently the credit department or something lost the first copy that was faxed through… She said that she’ll try to speed up the process and that we shouldn’t worry as she has several of the apartments that are still available.

I haven’t had experience with this before so I don’t know if it’s taking too long or not… Hopefully we get some response this week, whether our application is approved or not. I mean it’s just about a week left till August anyway!

Insert Witty Title Here

The package containing the items that I had purchased recently arrived last week. I now have a new webcam, a Logitech QuickCam® Pro 5000. Its image quality is way better than my old AIM webcam and my father’s old Logitech webcam combined. Even though I have hardly used my new webcam, I am in love with it. I had also purchased three DVDs; The Corpse Bride (I really want to get The Nightmare Before Christmas on DVD too), Queen of the Damned and Sin City…

After watching Sin City I now wonder why I had even purchased it… I had not seen it before and I know that I had bought it just because of that and thought that I would maybe enjoy it… Wrong! My younger sister seemed to have enjoyed it though as she wanted to watch it a second time. I told her that she could have the DVD but she did not want it, she wants Step Up instead…

I bought The Sims 2 Seasons expansion pack too. I still have not gotten to play The Sims 2 on my father’s PC yet… My younger sisters have been hogging it and I honestly do not feel like playing it when it lags so badly. I think my father’s PC may need some more RAM and more disk space… I do not know… My sisters whine when the game lags and they actually pray for it not too. It is kind of annoying when they go on and on about it lagging. I think I will rather play when it is running smoothly, someday…

I had also bought a cookbook, Cupcakes! And on Friday night I had made delicious choc chip cupcakes that my family loved, especially my father. They turned out very moist and spongy and I had thought that they were undercooked when I had tasted a piece. I had done the touch and toothpick test before taking them out of the oven and my mother had assured me that they were in fact properly cooked. I guess that it had been too long since I had such a cupcake…

Crowe* had recently bought me a cookbook by the same author, Big Fat Cookies. It should be delivered soon, I hope… I can not wait to start baking some delicious large cookies! I plan on making a batch of a chocolate chip version of chocolate covered hi-hats on Tuesday night for Wednesday; I am dying to try this combination of cupcakes.

I helped Victor move in to his new place yesterday; he now lives practically up the road from me. This morning he and I went to collect his PC and some other of his belongings in Pretoria, went out for lunch and then went to his place for a little while before heading back to my place. I am really happy that he is living closer, he is happy and I am glad that he does not have to drive far during the night to get back home after visiting me, anything could happen… I worry too much about him…

Die Heat Wave, Die!

Autumn begins next month and I am eagerly awaiting the cold weather because I feel sick of the summer heat… It has been quite hot out lately; way too hot for me. The heat wave has gotten me feeling really sluggish and irritated; I do not think that I will ever get used to the weather of any season. I need an air conditioner or a fan; I think that I am going to buy one sometime…

I had ordered The Passion of The Christ on DVD for my mother last week. It arrived yesterday morning and I sat down to watch it because I was really bored… I had seen once before, shortly after it was available for rental… My mother had rented it out and made me sit down and watch it. At that time I was going through a rough stage with my depression; refused to pray and go to church amongst other things… My mother thought that it would make me change my feelings towards God etc…

Anyway, I cried the first time I had watched the movie and I cried this time too… I do not think that I like that movie. It made me feel a little weird; sad, hurt… I was filled with mixed emotions and it just made me depressed… I do not know exactly why though…
