  • Hypnotherapy

    I went to meet a hypnotherapist this morning. No, REALLY. It’s just that I’ve kinda lost my “oomph” with regards to the weight loss, you know? It was easy at the beginning when it was all a novelty, but now I’m all, “Ehhh, I’m bored” and I’m starting to think about food again all the time. And I still lack the ability to stop eating when I’m full. So I looked at a bunch of websites and contacted the one that looked the least creepy. She turned out to be extremely professional and nice, and she thinks that I’d be an “ideal candidate” for the process. (And no, she doesn’t tell everybody that; I made her tell me about people who *wouldn’t* be right for it.) So I think I’m gonna give it a go. First session is next Friday. (What, you think I’m gonna do it before the candy extravaganza that is tomorrow night? No way!)

    Hank is giving away two copies of a new book about Degrassi Junior High, so head over there if you’re interested. I reserve the right to mock your lameness, though, if you do.

  • New HP Scene

    My cousin Jenny just e-mailed me a heads-up that there’s a new Goblet of Fire scene available online. It shows the chaos at the Quidditch World Cup and ends with…… who the hell is that conjuring the Dark Mark? I thought Winky was the one who did it. (Or rather it was the invisible Barty Crouch Jr. with Harry’s wand, but Winky took the fall for it.) Are they cutting Winky out entirely? Who’s that guy? This is a pretty major plot point they’re messing with. That said, the Dark Mark looks pretty kewl.

  • Fugged

    Heh. Rupert “Ron Weasley” Grint got fugged, but it was pretty good-natured. I thought the hair was weird myself, but then I rediscovered my teenage girl crush on boys with long locks. *sigh*

  • Cut-Up Cakes

    Cut-Up Cakes – an old cookbook that shows women how to turn ordinary sheet cakes into dyed coconut monstrosities. It’s like baking a tangram. Who wants to eat a swan? And “Fanny the Fish” is just wrong in any culture…

  • Russ’s Music

    The Australian iTMS features a Celebrity Playlist from Russell Crowe. And get this – he put “Closer to Fine” by the Indigo Girls on there! I nearly fell out of my chair.

  • Oz iTMS

    According to ZDNet, the Australian iTunes Music store has officially launched! Snookums is home sick so I’m trying to get him to sign us up so we can have a look. I have to say I’m not thrilled about AUD $1.69 a song though. Once you work out the exchange rate, that’s more than the US! What’s the rationale there? Sure, Aussies are used to paying more for stuff that has to be shipped in, but we’re talking about bits and bytes here. I suppose I should just be glad it’s not as bad as the UK…

    Later: I have just purchased my first song. It was “Move This” by Technotronic. I love that song.

  • Knitty Calendar

    Knitty Calendar 2006Woohoo! The Knitty Calendar is available for ordering! Now you can hang me on your wall.

    Later: Okay, now that I’ve looked at all the other images I can really see where ours fits in. They’re all so colourful and kooky!

    Much later: The Honorable Mentions Gallery is now up, and both of our other photos were selected!

    It’s always fun to find yourself being discussed on the Internet, especially when people are trying to schedule things around your Halloween Party because it’s obviously becoming the SYDNEY SOCIAL EVENT OF THE SPRING. Except for that whole horse racing thing next week.

    In related party news, things are coming down to the wire as usual. My costume is about 40% finished. (I still have to make pants.) The trial batch of Wilton Milk-Chocolate Cupcakes with a Peanut Butter Candy Filling were a dismal failure. And did I mention that the Snook has come down with a cold? Poor baby may have to stay home tomorrow.
