the dark knight

Posted on August 18th, 2008 by Tracey

Regan and I went to the movies on Saturday night as part of his birthday present (yes, going to the movies is a gift to us 😛 ) and we finally saw The Dark Knight.

I won’t spoil it for the 1 or 2 people in the world who haven’t seen it – but the only thing I want to say is

WHAT IS WITH BATMAN’S VOICE?
lol. I giggled the first 5 minutes because I couldn’t understand a word he was saying.

If he ever came to my rescue and was telling me something, it would go something like this :

Me – Batman, thank you for saving me!
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – Sorry, what did you say?
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – You’ll have to speak up
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – Nope, didn’t catch that ..
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – The what?
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – Huh?
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – Do you need something?
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – Who’s that?
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – Nope, not getting anything you’re saying here
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – Are you ok?
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – I think I’m going to go now
Batman – mumblemumblemumble
Me – …

And so on and so on .. 😛

holy smokes!

so i thought i would make use of some free time before Jasper arrived home from grandma’s, and bake some bread.

i’m happily admiring how well my mixmaster with the bread kneading prongs has made my bread dough nice and .. well, mixed – when it suddenly feels a bit hot next to me. i look down to my immediate right, to the pre-heating oven next to me and see a sudden flash of flames – and i drop everything and scream SH** !!!

smoke immediately fills the entire downstairs level (there’s no doors, it’s one giant room) and the smoke alarm goes off – Regan runs down to find me hurrying around opening windows and doors.

ugh, i hate kitchen fires! we’ve had one before – but this one was really bad because of the smell – lots of bad smelling smoke, and worst of all – even after power cleaning it because we thought it was our bad-cleaning that set it alight – we don’t know what is causing all the smoke still…

luckily Jasper’s room doesn’t smell so bad so i feel ok putting him to sleep in this place, luckily it’s not as bad and there’s no damage. and more importantly, luckily, my leggings protected my legs! my thermals are slightly melted on top – how terrible is that!

p.s. i won’t be baking for a while. LOL.

shoes, on.

for the past 2 years or so, i’ve worn nothing but my thongs.

even in the winter, even in the rain, they were on my feet. i blame pregnancy 😛 my thongs were the only comfortable pair of shoes i had, so i wore them throughout the whole 9 months. but then i gave birth to Jasper, and the thongs stayed on because it was summer and it was hot.

but what happened when it got colder? why didn’t i take them off? who knows …

enough was enough last night when i had to venture out into the cold and rain. i’ve got a cough and i know i have to stay warm, so i pulled out my chucks and laced them up.

shoes on

like a baby learning to walk, it was awkward, lol. i’ll keep at it – life’s too short to be wearing just thongs year round 😉

if you see me and i’m wearing SHOES, pat me on the back or hand me a cookie (i prefer cookies) because i’m most likely dying inside, wanting to throw them across the room and put on my thongs.
