Default arrrrgh

In less than 24hours I am due to be getting on a plane to Sydney! I haven't packed one little scrap of clothing or anything, the suitcase aint even out of the wardrobe... why am I procrastinating?? who knows...

I am tired I just want to go to sleep... so what do I do?? I sit on the computer posting on NZB! about not packing no less!

That's not quite as bad as picturing blocks falling into place, hoping the lines would dissapear everytime you close your eyes.

I'm thinking you should go and see a doctor Mr Fenix, that is a problem!

Hey, there is absolutely nothing abnormal about Tetris dreams. They are a perfectly natural occurence after a seven hour tetris session!

Indeed, luckily I have gotten over my Tetris phase. I am now on my Zuma phase *shoots colored balls at people*

On a side note. Penny I am a doctor. Gynacologist of the Stars!

Ah yes, Tetris dreams.

Been there. Done that. In fact I used to play tetris so much (back in the day when it was about the only decent game to play on my computer at work) that I when I walked around outside I would imagine things falling and fitting into each other (oh, that sounds a bit rude doesn't it?). NOT IN A RUDE WAY ..... oh, I don't think I can explain it ... anyone who plays tetris should know what I'm talking about.

Hamilton Zoo is even better.... you see I always thought Auckalnd was a rip off, If I wanted to go tothe zoo often I'd go to hamilton, still very good Zoo, only $8 per adult(last time I went) it is great.

But now I think I'll probably find Auckland quite resonable!
