The nervous rants of a uni student

Monday, December 18, 2006

Well I've not had the greatest weekend, my little rabbit who was a elderly 8yrs (old in rabbit terms) passed away. She died on the Friday which as fate would have it was the same day my grandma died last year. Lets just say there were a few tears. She was buried next to her little friend Flopsy who died about 2 years ago and will sadly be missed. Although my dad can now have whatever plant he wishes in the garden. Last year he must have planted over a hundred plants and was only left with Lobeilla. Which she obviously didn't like.

Seven days and counting until Xmas and the hording of food has already started. We went into the local tescos on Saturday and although there was still over a week to go people where already starting to pile stuff in the trolleys. It amazes me how because the shops are closed one day everybody fears that the world will end and everyone will have to live off the food stores they have. I suppose this is what 24 hour everything will do to you. You become reliant on it and presumably some people come out in cold sweats if there are unable to walk under the artificial lights and hear the familiar bleep of the check out.

Have to work the dreaded second to last day for christmas shopping, oh the joy I shall have. I rather doubt that we will be at all busy as everyone who was stupid enough to leave it until the last minute will be rushing round places like the trafford centre buying the good old favourite perfume. Hopefully for certain people there will be a much wanted item still left on the shelves of the alcohol section, sparkling like a shining beacon, shimmering green and begging that person to buy it. And no I don't mean the new special edition Doodley's, perhaps this special treasure may be found on the shelf below he he.

I have become obsessed with the Film Happy Feet, I have found a wall paper on the bbc website of a emperor penguin baby and have set it as my wallpaper. I know it is a kids film and it went off at a bit of a tangent at the end but the characters and the music was really good. It is clever that all the song are well known human ones.
