No repeats of Extreme Makover tonight, in lieu of World Cup Cricket. I usually find cricket soooo boring but now that there's a bit of a murder mystery, it's far more exciting. No disrespect intended to Bob Woolmer.

They did do makeovers tonight on The Biggest Loser. I only caught the end of the show but that Patti chick looked H.O.T. All the blokes' dodgy facial hair was gone. That whingey Courtney guy still has a face like he's sucking on a lemon. Like he's a vagina sucking on a lemon.

I'm being my most charming self tonight.I'm trying to stay up late because I start ward cover nights again tomorrow. Although I do have some plans for tomorrow: visit phlebotomist, return unwanted Stella McCartney for Target clothes (about $500 worth), go to the post office, buy Kathy a birthday pressie, buy lots of crap for the DCR and maybe do some furniture window-shopping (as I'm feeling too lazy to carry anything home/assemble it).

Another whinge: the bank doesn't open until 9.30am! I finished work a bit late the other day and thought I'd go to the bank on the way home. I rocked up to Barrack Street CBA at 8.30am and was trying to figure out when it opened. Then my dad phoned me and informed me that banks don't open until 9.30!!! (That's not what he called me about.) My dad used to work for Commonwealth Bank so was quite defensive of the staff and the hard work they do. Which was not going down to well with me, having just come off night ward cover.

I decided to walk to West Perth CBA yesterday as it was a lovely sunny day. I try to aboid visiting the bank in person because they seem to charge you $10 just for walking through the front door (like St John of God Murdoch Emergency Department, only cheaper). However, the lady on the Netbank helpline told me I had to visit the branch in person. Guess what - I didn't. Grrr. Fortunately, while I was there I got them to fix up something else they had messed up so it wasn't a completely wasted effort.

When I came out of the bank it was pissing down with rain. Whinge. I stopped for a disgusting latte, yummy biscuit and Monday's West Australian (yawn) while I waited for the rain to dry up.

Final whinge for tonight - City West train station is having some pressure cleaning. It is noisy. Even with the windows shut. I may go down to the gym and work out. Even though it's 2am.

Today's whinge

I did night shft on Saturday night/Sunday morning. I worked from 10pm until 8am. I will be paid for a ten hour shift. BUT I WORKED ELEVEN HOURS BECAUSE OF THE DAYLIGHT SAVING ROLLBACK. I didn't get paid for a hour's work. Sheesh. And it was an hour of Sunday penalties (75%). Damn.

Transperth have these new SmartRider cards. Even though travel from my train station to the City or to work is within the free transit zone, I had to buy a SmartRider card ($10) so that I can get on and off the train in the city. Evidently I forgot to swipe off at my station one day. It cost me $4.70 credit off my SmartRider. Dammit.

Enough whinge.

There's a Wife Swap "Partner Edition" on TV. This means that one of the "wives" is a gay man. His new family is a "tradiotional Christian family unit." Dad openly admits that his new gay wife "will have a hard time here because of the hatred that's around in this area towards 'them'." Bigotry at its best. Not as entertaining as Extreme Makeover but should be fun. Fat Mum says, "there's hope the gays can change." Fat Dad's wandered off in the middle of the night to get advice from his Pastor because, "I can't let this get into my home. Having that in my house means that I'm welcoming sin into my house." On the Pastor's advice, he chucked the partner out of the house!

My new sofa arrives tomorrow (assuming that Freedom don't fuck up the delivery). I had it upholstered with custom fabric.

Budget designer label stuff

Even the international media were covering the Stella McCartney for Target mayhem that ensued yesterday. I avoided the 9am store-opening rush but I did head down to Morley Target around 10am to scavenge the few remaining size 10 pieces. Then I headed to Bullcreek in the arvo - they had heaps more stuff than Morley, even at 4.30pm! Anyway, I read an article about how dozens of people are returning their stuff because it's too big (even accounting for Stella's drapey style). I think I'll just return my unwanted pieces - people are selling the stuff on ebay for heaps! And it's target-quality, made in china stuff, after all. I guess those diehard fans overseas are willing to pay a little more (especially in Australian dollars).

Much more fun than the Stella for Target range was the Alice McCall for Target range. I picked up a silk cami in a really cute print IN MY SIZE marked down to $20! I also love my Alba Fan Club skinny jeans - just $15 each from the Jeans West outlet store. Normally I don't go to Jeans West but hey - maybe the good stuff doesn't sell to their usual customers!

Good lord. I'm even more Gen Y now - Kathy made me get a myspace page. It seems like a network for stalkers to me. I mean, aren't you just putting yourself out there for identity theft? Ha - I am fooling them all by pretending I'm a 60cm body builder. No one will ever realise my true identity.
