Another Year Older

Yesterday I turned 26. By no means a moumental occasion; as a friend puts it, "this year we are closer to 30 than to 20". I wish I could say that I went out and did lots of fun things but the truth is, I was stuck at work. At least I actually managed to get a lunchbreak. Which I spent shopping. Alone. I did meet 2 pairs of shoes though. They liked me enough to want to come home with me.

Scott had roses and a bday balloon delivered to my work. Till then, no one else knew it was my bday, and I was happy enough for them not to know. Got home and while Peps and Kimi clamoured round the flowers and balloon, Smudge runs off and looks at me like I'm purposely bringing in these horrible things just to scare the bejesus out of him.

It was nice yesterday. Rainy (I got caught in the rain as well) but elatively warm. Unlike today; its gray, windy and decidedly cooler. Was craving either Chinese or kebabs so wound up getting Chinese buffet takeaway with Jane. Am now back at work, dying for the day to be over. Going to see Superman Returns tonight. And maybe this weekend (or next Tues) will be Pirates of the Carribean. I want to see The Devil Wears Prada, which is already open in the US, but upon checking the coming attractions here, there's no sight of it, not even well into October. Stupid, useless Aussie cinemas!
