Proof that I really oughtn't change my username.
I have just picked up a slightly heavy A4 box of supplies for my students. I come to the fire doors and notice a colleague coming up with a gurney.
Without thinking I let go of the box to open the door. I did manage to catch it before it hit the ground as I seem to possess l33t ninja skills.
And things were going so well. I have already broken my 'stop doing ditzy stuff resolution'...
I do have a reason for this new-found ditziness though. We have started a men we think are too sexy collection on the cupboards behind us.
How can we be expected to concentrate when these are some of the people we have to stare at???
     
We need many more though. There are plenty of spaces where we can see cupboard! I feel like we're mising someone obvious...
*sigh*
Why are all the hot men not in my vicinity?
And why don't I have my own castle?

When you are still feeling crummy, and are half asleep, even the simplest of work queries take a while (and a lot of glazed blinking) to get processed:
Karolina, could you stick this in your hole as mine is too small?
But anyhoo...
This.
This has to be the best thing I've heard all year (so far). And can I say I would like to be the first to volunteer for any trials in the UK. Hear that Dr Rupf? PICK ME!
It's no secret how I loathe going to the dentist. Especially as one botched up visit resulted in me being on three types of painkillers, two types of antibiotics, going to a meth clinic for even stronger painkillers and finally culminating in wisdom tooth extraction (early last year).
As a result in recent months I have been refusing to go to the dentist, even though they bothced up my filling again. Instead I have been... well... it was causing me so much pain that I forced it out myself and re-inserted it where it was less painful. Some might squeal at the thought of doing that, others might think I've gone mad, but bottom line - I saved a couple of hundred pounds, omitted having to go to the dentist and have no toothache.
Now if only I could find a way of curing narcolepsy.
Oh... and has anyone else been watching CBB? Stephen Baldwin is a loon.
But I've saved the most important till last.
Dress 1 or
Dress 2 ?
I am still getting the 50s latex dress, but need a little extra something...

[15 Jan 2010|12:22pm] |
My mother has sent me a weird text message - perhaps it's time you've gotten yourself a new coat? I made a New Year's resolution to shop less and she's positively encouraging me to go out there and spend money. But that's OK - I have got my eye on the Dorothy Perkins Military Coats.
And of course I'm putting money towards an electric blue/white 50s latex dress.
And some DM heels as for once DM's aren't looking so bad...
If I am alive after tonight I feel a small shopping spree happening tomorrow... And I've been invited to dinner in the King's Rd by the girl I met last Friday so that would be a perfect way to end the hard task of spending money :)
In other news I am becomming a Celebrity Big Brother obsessive. I have never thought this would happen, but gosh am I loving Vinnie Jones. There's one thing I'll never understand. If you have a bf in the outside world why with a zillion cameras filming your every move would you climb into bed with another man? Does she think her bf won't notice? It never fails to surprise what people wouldn't do in front of a camera for a splash of fame...
In final news this is the reason I don't want to get a Wii. And ashamedly we all smirked on reading that article.
Roll on the weekend; there's havoc to be created!
If anyone's free tonight they are welcome to come barring with us. The more cleavage to get free shots the better :)

So ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) madwitch, the mob has spoken. The only way we can make this relationship work is if you get surgery to look like Mr Downey. And even then we'll need to hide it from certain people.
It's not even midday and I'm already on the sugar shakes. My colleague bought me these as apparently with my new haircut I look exactly like the girl in the logo. Well if I look 15 I'll have even less trouble pulling 18-year-olds won't I....
But anyhoo, I have made one proper New Year's resolution (aside from joining the gym) - to read 50 books in 2010. I'm quite a slow reader (if I'm really enjoying a book I love daydreaming over it for hours) and I'm not sure how I'll manage, but with deadlyrhythm being one of the people cracking the whip over me I could make it. I'm going to keep a post on top of LJ and keep track of progress (as well as warnings of any direness I come across).
So this is the point where I do the really predictable thing:
Suggestions for books to read please!
Oh and a daft question. What do you count as a book? I mean would something like Art Spiegelman's Maus count?

[06 Jan 2010|01:28pm] |
My work colleague has given all of our team Christmas cards. For a bit of fun in each of these she placed a National Lottery scratchcard.
As I left for my holiday, over a fortnight before our office shut for Christmas, the girls couldn't resist temptation and on the last day opened my card to see whether I had a winning ticket.
Sadly they won zilch and bought a replacement scratchcard so that I wouldn't notice.
I got back and did the scratchcard thing. And...
Guess who has won money on the replacement!?
I didn't understand the dagger looks I was getting from them till they told me what they had done. I love it when things come together so well!
So now that my stroke of good luck is out of the way I am almost certain I am going to be snowed in the office tonight.
But in other news does anyone want to come and see Sherlock Holmes with me? Robert Downey Jr is looking hot!

| Budget: A method for going broke methodically. |
[05 Jan 2010|12:02pm] |
I'm a creature of comfort and only if no other options are available will I fly budget. My friend and I decided to fly to Poland over Christmas. I flew with my beloved Polish airlines LOT, he chose Easyjet.
It is no secret that I hate flying. I get claustrophobic and always have an unstoppable urge to open a window circa hour 4/5 of any flight. Thus I always get the first flight of the day as I am so out of it I don't care whether I'm up in the air or not. I also like my flights going as smoothly as possible.
Here’s how LOT operated.
Go online. Book ticket. Reserve seat that you wish to sit in. Pay monies.
Go to airport. Show passport only. Receive ticket.
Get on plane. Queues to fly-out from Heathrow even at that time of the morning are huge so spend about 30/45 mins just going round the terminals and down the lanes. Finally take-off and somewhere in the air make up the time so that you land only 15 mins late, despite all the snow and fog covering the runways of Warsaw.
Baggage arrives and is in one piece (including the china I packed in there).
All this for £380.
Here's how Easyjet operated.
Bar reserving the seat you wish to sit in the first two lines are the same as in LOT.
But....
Arrive at airport. Get directed towards plane going to Madrid. Tell the staff that this looks like the wrong plane. Get told that the sign says Madrid, but the plane really is for Poland. Board, get ready for take-off only to be told you have to get off as the plane... really is heading to Madrid.
Finally get put on the right plane. Get ready for take-off, but then get told that the plane cannot fly as it is now too heavy. (They have an X number of seats with each passenger allowed an X number of weight, so how can a plane be too heavy?) As a result sit in plane as luggage is removed. What next? Well two planes are now flying to Poland - one with the passengers, the other with luggage. How pointless.
But now all that is sorted you can take-off, right? Sure... you get on the runway, the plane does its speed up and all of a sudden hits the brakes. The pilot informs you that you cannot take-off. What now? The engines have frozen from all that faffing...
All this fun for a mere £350(!).
That is just £30 quid less than me flying non-budget.
madwitch just a heads up - I am not flying Easyjet to Corfu. If I have to I will drive us there. Even if I kill us.
I have heard far too many stories in recent weeks on how bad they are. I particularly don't like the 'flights getting canceled last minute for no apparent reasoni thing. Although I have heard that Ryanair is worse for that...
Off topic, we are currently looking for free runners. If anyone knows of any could you give me a shout?

Hope your New Year has started with a bang!
I greeted mine with frostbite. But I guess that's what you get for believing in the power of alcohol to protect you against -10degreeC cold whilst hugging strangers in the street in a T-shirt. Clearly I just didn't drink enough...
I admit, I thoroughly enjoyed my time away - I flew in yesterday and now am having severe trouble falling back into a routine. In a swift few hours I have transformed from an extreme Lady of Leisure into Karo, the Mousehunter (mice have taken over our office in our absence).
Sadly with limited access in Poland I haven't been able to keep up with all your fabulous lives, so do dish!! :D
I might start watching Celeb BB... but only to fit in with the girls at work.

[11 Dec 2009|11:31am] |
Suddenly it got colder overnight. I blame it (and maybe to some extent last night's partying) for my lack of attention span at the train station this morning, which resulted in me having to get my leg X-rayed.
I have declared war on the cold and like the cat in the cartoon below it will be my mission to vanquish any signs of it getting worse. Oh yes, it is ON!
So, anyways... Facebook has decided to throw out its privacy settings (well at least some aspects of them) out the window. It seems you can no longer have a grip of who will see what where.

[10 Dec 2009|11:51am] |
I have the opportunity to buy Cirque du soleil tickets for end of July 2010.
Has anyone seen it before and would recommend it?
Anyone would like to go?
I would also like to go to Sonisphere 30 July - 1 August @ Knebworth Park
Check out the confirmed acts already!
Iron Maiden
Rammstein
Alice Cooper
Anthrax
The Cult
Iggy & the Stooges
Slayer
Someone agree to go with me!!! I'm ever so good!
I've already gone ticket mad and bought:
Friday 7th May - La Roux @ Brixton with j_u_d_a_s
Thursday 13th May - Kiss @ Wembley Arena with vilenspotens
Friday 28th May - Joe Bonamassa @ Hammersmith Apollo with karohemd
Saturday 11th September - Muse @ Wembley Stadium with medusa_nw
Trying to my hands on Rammstein for February too.
Anyone else going to any of the above?
Any other gigs happening I should check out (or that you might be going to)? Frankly I prefer smaller venues (and will travel :)).
I think I'm one of those people maybe has more money than sense... which is exactly why today I am finishing work early (Christmas Lunch) and am heading over to gatecrash medusa_nw's work Christmas party to sit on Santa's lap.

[09 Dec 2009|11:57am] |
After a strange exchange with davywavy last night he vowed to get me a Team Edward T-shirt. Clearly the fan in me needs it so very, very much(!) It's OK, you can be jealous of me when you see me strutting my stuff down the street ;)
Mind you I have had some bizarre Twilight conversations recently. And suggestions of doing a little role-play, where I was going to be Bella, an LJ-buddy (if he's brave enough to admit to it) was going to be Edward, followed by TMI, TMI, some more TMI and then I'm dead. Not really so appealing that one...
I am considering reading the books, but I admit I'm rather scared... What if.. what if I end up enjoying them and lose myself in a world where the only way to get a partner is to stalk them until they cave? Tell me -

Anyways, looks like I'm still going to Poland on Monday morning. madwitch, who may or may not know it yet, has volunteered to drop me off at the airport for my 6.30am flight. She is a much needed accessory as she won't let me sleep-in (or through my alarm) and like an angel of death looms over my bed until I get up.
I decided to ask Mystic Pig about my flight. Kind of wish I hadn't.
Not in the way you expect.

Have you ever woken up in the morning and realised that somehow/somewhere overnight you've managed to do a complete 180 on your opinion of someone?
Let me explain in the most appropriate macro (courtesy of pretzelcoatl):
And now I am not sure how to deal with this.
I've reacquainted myself with a new emotion too. Pettiness. Out of curiosity I've decided to take a look at my ex's FB and watching a desperate man make bad attempts at picking up equally desperate women somehow put a smile on my face. To be quite honest I'm not sure why. Maybe the saying really is true - we relish watching other peoples setbacks and dysfunctions to make us feel better about our own. But then again I just gain pleasure from watching people I don't like fail/fall.
In less morbid news last night I completed/unlocked all of Tekken 6 on the Xbox (due to a silly crush). And then kicked souldestruction's arse afterwards to prove it wasn't a fluke. Next up - Borderlands.
Currently I am fascinated by our binmen who are all wearing suits. I feel so under-dressed in comparison.
Under-dressed and ill. My cold of last week is getting worse. Probably due to spending the weekend running around semi-naked in Knightsbridge. Mainly here: http://www.the-berkeley.co.uk. Although I was hesitant in going at first I ended up having a fantastic time. And we ended up being the naughty table in the restaurant we were laughing so hard.
I have a few more days left in the UK this year before I'm flying back home on a tiny plane. Well in theory anyway.
ETA: Although I am willing to make an exception and fly on this thing - http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20091208/video/vuk-branson-unveils-virgin-spaceship-49bfa63.html
Is it just me or is Richard Branson not looking too bad?
I probably ought to get out more...

| On Secret Santas |
[02 Dec 2009|10:10am] |
I've been at my job for three years now and this is the first time I will be actually joining my colleagues for Christmas lunch/evening wankering and all other booze fueled activities.
Unfortunately one of the things we're all to participate in is Secret Santa. Well I'm sure there was an option of not partaking, but if I had declined I would've been known as the office Scrooge, not a team player, mean(er) blah blah blah.
To make life less simple we are having two Secret Santas - one for the entire office and the other just for our team. In both instances we didn't choose names - we'll be doing a Yankee Santa.
But here's the thing. I've never EVER in my entirety of work life participated in a Secret Santa; I've always managed to skip the country well before then. This makes me at a loss as to what people actually get others for this. Food? Books? Shower gel? Novelty gifts?
To make things worse we have themes....
Green, mean and clean for the office.
Stars and stripes for the team.
Each gift can be no more than a fiver (10 bucks).
So here's the question. What the hell do I get? Are there websites that sell crap for a fiver?
And what is the dud gift that I should avoid by all means?
I've never heard of anyone rioting over Secret Santa gifts gone wrong, but it's always a possibility.

| On wave and cards |
[27 Nov 2009|11:19am] |
Oh asthma how I loathe thee. I almost wanna stab myself in the chest just to create an extra breathing hole. Apparently the majority of the best athletes have asthma. I'm afraid I possess as much skill and usefulness as an Oompa Loompa doing the high jump.
But anyhoo. Three things:
1/ Last call for Christmas cards as Sunday looks like my card writing day (post Motorhead recovery day that could only allow me to venture as far as King's Rd - although sending might take an extra fortnight). So if you'd like a card lerave your addy here :)
http://ditzy-pole.livejournal.com/228152.html
2/ I have a few google wave invites, so if you already haven't succumbed to everyone else giving theirs away you're free to take mine. Just PM me your gmail addy.
In case anyone wishes to add me I'm: rubyvelveteen@googlewave.com
For those who don't know what this is, it's like a cross between gmail and MSN, with easier file sharing.
3/ I am still laughing at this:
And I'm not particularly liking the culprit who had sent this to me at work... Although it was much needed laughter after making me watch the most awful Sarah Palin video in existence.
I've made an excutive decision last night to rewatch all the cartoons I've watched whilst younger to see how much more smut and innuendo I've missed.... or didn't understand...
How did the writers get away with so much of it?
I've been reminded of Mighty Mouse last night, which was particularly low brow at times. I can't tell you how much I'd love to get my hands on the episodes.
But lets see. In order to rewatch everything it'll probably be circa 6 hours of TV a day/7 days a week - I will look so good afterwards! No wonder I don't have bad wrinkles - the TV zombification process has aided my aging, or lack of.
Sadly it has also aided my mental development. But hanging out with some of the people that I do it's not really that noticeable ;)

| Music is a safe kind of high.... maybe not |
[26 Nov 2009|11:11am] |
This year I have seen some fantastic gigs - Orbital (so good I saw them twice), Peaches, Muse, Regina Spektor to name a few. I danced till near exhaustion at some and sang till I couldn't speak at others. Motorhead and Placebo coming up look promising too.
I've realised that I've missed going to live gigs and now I've persuaded my brain that it's unlikely I'll fracture my ribs, split my head open or collapse again, I'm determined to go to more. I've already got Muse, Joe Bonamossa and La Roux* bought. Today I may have also accidently bought tickets for KISS next year...
So in order to survive these (& for maximum enjoyment) I give you Karo's guide to gigs:
1/ You are required to go WOOOOO!!! (or make any other animalistic sounds) as soon as the lights go down - after all it's tradition dating back to midsummer festivals at Stonehenge.
2/ Don't cheer the first person to walk on stage, it's almost certain to be a roadie who waits till the lights to go down to come out, just so he gets thousands of people cheering at him.
3/ Don't stand by the front barriers as the main act is just about to come on. The passing out due to fracturing ribs from the crush is not worth missing half the gig for.
4/ Use a lit cigarette as a means of burning through the clothes of people who pretend on walking past, but really are just being a dick and standing in front of you so their ass touches your front. Sadly this now is only applicable to outdoor gigs.
5/ Remember to applaud loudly whenever the band get a few bars into a song you've never heard of, as people around you will think you know more of the band's material than they do.
6/ Be careful with guitar solos, as they reveal you as a failed or struggling musician.
7/ Remember there is a difference between crowd surfing and stage diving; about 7 days in hospital.
8/ If you make it alive to the front of the stage, look straight into the eye of any of the musicians and nod appreciatively, to show you are as serious about music as they are.
9/ Don't eat the mystery meat burgers.
10/ Always make friends with security - they are the guys with passes to everywhere and if you are lucky enough you will be too.
Anything else?
My worst gig was Sisters of Mercy a few years ago where there was so much fake smoke it took 20 mins to spot Eldritch properly. Plus the sound was atrocious.
My worst injury was at Slipknot when I got elbowed in the side of the head in the mosh pit. I didn't think there was anything wrong till I went to wipe away the hair sticking to my face to then realise my palm was covered in blood. I fainted on the spot and woke up in the emergency room with stitches being glued into my head.
My best gig.... fuck that's way too had to pick! I can pick out the really good gigs - Antiproduct, MSI, MCR, MM, Muse, Orbital - they all do really good shows.
So what is yours best/worst gig and related injury?
*I went to see La Roux last night and I have to admit I was a little disappointed. This could be because a/ the vocalist was ill and b/ this was their first major show, so they don't have the touring experience. I hope by May there will be a visible contrast to how they are now.

| A series of non-sensical barely-related thoughts |
[18 Nov 2009|12:08pm] |
1/ So Katie Price has been chosen for the third time to do a challenge in I'm a celebrity. As retaliation she has come up with a unique punishment for the viewers who are making her suffer - she will not strip naked. You heard! She's going to keep her clothes on.
Erm... how is that a threat exactly?
2/ I feel a little sorry for the robber who was told he was too ugly to commit crime. Our attitudes to beauty really are spiraling out of control... But does this mean if you're a troll you can get away with murder?
3/ Speaking of beauty... I NEED, WANT, COVET these shoes.
4/ On the subject of murder these last couple of nights I've felt, for the first time, the downside of living alone. The dark has been playing tricks on me. To the point where I've been seeing people other than me in my flat.
5/ Names still keep on surprising me. And it's unfortunate how a completely innocent name can sound incredibly bad in the UK. How would you pronounce Ufuk Koc?
6/ I want to check this comic out: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Spandex-Comic/137375331859. It's my innate curiosity talking. I've noticed my graphic novel collection is slowly on the rise (although it's mainly composed of Batman – I need to branch out some more).
And for the postie who nicked my Batman Hush I hope you get covered in paper-cuts and then touch salt.
7/ I might have also developed a gaming addiction. In three days time I will be the owner of L4D2, Saw and Assassin's Creed 2 on the 360. I'd love to get my hands on Rabbids Go Home on the DSi too, but there seems to be no release for it (yet). Why are video games so addictive? Actually more accurately – why do I keep buying them and then allow for them to collect dust on my shelves??
8/ I fancy doing something completely mad. I was thinking of heading down to the airport and putting myself on standby for the first flight available – just to get out of London for a weekend. It worked in the past...
9/ I'm getting Muse tickets tomorrow on presale for their Wembley Stadium gig next September – is anyone else going? Tomorrow is also the day when I'm going to Harry Hill's show taping.
10/ I've just been challanged to walk-off in my office. Just for saying that I'd have Tyson Beckford over David Bowie.
But right now I need more coffee. And champagne. I feel like celebrating.
So how are you doing?

Papa Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair.
He looks into his big bowl and it is also empty.

In other news the weekend was too good for words. Three parties - Friday on terra firma, Saturday in a roof garden and Sunday on a boat (I can't believe how I've missed some people). Too much alcohol and too little sleep results in a moderately grumpy Polish woman who dreams of tea and her nice warm bed.
And for those of you who are aware of my Twitter messages about the random text messages/phone calls I was getting last night - bottom line - no matter how many times they call/text I still don't know where the fuck Chris is.

[11 Nov 2009|11:30am] |
A friend of mine once sent me a post card with a picture of the entire planet Earth taken from space. On the back it said Wish you were here.
But I'm not here to talk about post cards, but Christmas cards. Yes, I realise that Christmas is quite a way away, but I will be jumping country early(ish) December and I doubt I'll possess the ability to write whilst abroad.
So... why not now?
If you'd like a Christmas card please leave your address below (even if you think I have it or should know it by now).

In other news I'm trying to arrange an appointment with my lawyer before I leave. I've suddenly decided that I need/have to change my Will. The only person to really benefit from my death on my flist is madwitch and I'm thinking that's gotta change. Too much temptation there.

| Question Time |
[23 Oct 2009|10:23am] |
No matter what people say I approve of Nick Griffin's appearance on Question Time last night. Not just because of Freedom of Speech, but also because I doubt he could win voters over with the complete diatribe he utters. I've seen and re-read some of the comments. Mr Griffin needs some lessons on British law - for starters Holocaust denial isn't even illegal in this country, so him saying he wasn't convicted of it is a moot point...
Baroness Warsi summed his appearance up perfectly:
"I think if this programme has managed in some way to expose the ugly face of extremism and show him for what he and his party are then it may actually achieve some good.
"Let's be clear about this. The BNP do not, as such, have any policies and he, as such, does not have any political views other than a hatred for certain groups of people, so there wasn't that much he could really have explained in detail about his policy agenda."
In short he's a twat.
But now all of you can get a better idea of why I don't want to go back to Poland. A Griffin clone as President and the major ruling party, although the Tic Tac of evil in comparison to BNP, still evil.
I will be ethnically cleansing the population of inner London double tonight.
ETA: I need a holiday. I've just dozed off on my arm at my desk :/ Being angry and going out around is exhausting!
How apt in relation to my weekend plans:
