and my holidays have only been running for 2 days..

i’m getting lazy about many things.. not bothering to reply emails for a few days (which says nothing about the recipient just the sender’s (my own) holiday-induced laziness).. general lethargy.. maybe the ’stress’ of the semester is finally catching up to me.. who knows..

been taking jaz for walks for the past 2 days.. wait, 3.. something like that.. my sister and i took jaz for a walk yesterday but she wasn’t satisfied/tired enough from one lap around the block so after she got to the gate of our house, she stuck her nose in briefly and then decided to keep walking, so i was dragged along for another half lap but successfully navigated (*gasp*) a shortcut that took us back home before both of us had heart attacks.. one of the houses in a neighbouring street had their front fence blown over by the recent winds (i assume) so the owner and his dog were in the front yard doing something.. this dog was a scary german shepherd who, every time jaz walked past (we walked past a few times since jaz was insatiable), would come bounding across the road and start snarling and barking at us.. needless to say jaz was scared but still wanted to play with the german shepherd whose idea of play obviously meant putting as many tooth-shaped holes into a friend as possible..

today we went for a walk around the entire block which took a good 45 minutes (or something, i was too tired to notice the time).. at least the weather wasn’t that hot though.. every time we go around a particular bend on wallalong cresent, i get reminded of the taxi incident.. scary stuff.. i think jaz is getting used to the smells of the roads around our house though because she doesn’t stop to sniff things as much on our usual route - only when we take her on an extended walk does she stop and start.. plus i’ve realised that everyone’s dog is better trained than jaz.. there was this black labrador (i think) who bounded towards jaz on our extended walk today, and after having a friendly sniff or three, was quickly recalled by its owner and actually listened! same with that scary german shepherd actually..

but i guess these incidents are also an indication of the number of retarded owners who don’t properly restrain their dogs and allow them to run after every four legged furry animal that waltzes past their house.. i mean, come on.. i would like to walk jaz without fear of being mauled by a german shepherd or sniffed by an overly excited black labrador..

anyway, today we finally got nash’s presents together and surpried him at his place.. too bad the poor guy has a biochemistry exam tomorrow! we got him a sri lankan jersey with his surname and ‘21′ printed on the back, which he was absolutely stoked about.. and also two stargate boxsets and a stargate keyring.. pretty cool! his two most favourite things.. so now between nash, becky and myself we have most of the 9 seasons of stargate on dvd, just missing a few of the earlier seasons.. but we’ll work on that! and have a week-long stargate fest sometime.. 120hrs of non-stop watching will probably get all of that seen.. well, ’seen’.. but yes, we had a good bludge at chap’s house as well, playing starcraft and foosball.. quite geeky, maybe this should be categorised under g33k stuff.. but it was lots of fun, chap and i laughed too hard (again) about stargate and baz’s balls of death..

why are my blogs so freaking long.. congratulations if you’ve read down to here and have not been placed in a coma.. speaking of comas, i need to go watch house i taped yesterday.. plus what’s with stupid channel 10 advertising next week’s episode as the last episode of the season? it so isn’t!! it’s like (i think at least..) the 5th episode of the 2nd season or something.. just because stupid australian tv channels show it as the last episode in a string of episodes doesn’t make it the ‘must-see shocking final episode of house’.. far out..
