I know it's futile, but I must again point out: there is no dragon.
Futile. Getting my husband to agree with me is futile.
We rent. I'd rather own, but that's a different entry.
We have a yard. It's fucking HUGE. I hate the edging. I hate how weedy and gross it looks. Anna's amazing BF has agreed to fix it. I will pay him.
Part of the reason WHY I want it fixed is that my crazy neighbour leans over my fence and cuts our trees. NOT ALLOWED, DICKFACE!
When I mentioned this to G a while back, his response was "He can cut trees overlapping into his yard and dump the cuttings in ours". Great. HOWEVER, he is not cutting said trees at the fenceline. HE IS LEANING OVER a good foot and cutting. NOT ON, DUDE!
When I mentioned tonight to G that I wanted to sort shit out with the neighbour, he got all high and mighty and "are you sure that is a hill you wanna die on" crap with me. My neighbour is doing the wrong thing and because I want to right it, *I* am in the wrong??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????????
Just once, just once, I want my husband to back me 100% and not question it. I'm tired of his excuses. "We have to live next to these people". "Dana is living here and you're not, so better the devil I know". "What do you expect to accomplish by starting this feud?"
JFC MAN! I AM YOUR WIFE! BACK ME THE FUCK UP!!!!
I am so so so so so so so sick of passive aggressive shit. Two of the teachers at my work double PA teamed me in the last 2 weeks and I really want their balls on a platter. Fucking dicks. SEND ME THE EMAILS. I can fix a problem WITH ME sooner than anyone else can. Fucking. WIMPS.
My neighbour is getting a letter. I'm tired of him cutting MY trees in my yard. I am sick of his perving over my fence. I sick of laying down and taking it because G doesn't want the fight. Fuck you. I'm standing up for what is right. When I said that to G, he ADMITTED I am right but what does that accomplish? FUCK YOU, I AM RIGHT!
Homer, are you okay? I'm fine. It's my feelings that are mad.
In other news, and the reason I have all the mad feels today, is our
former neighbours, Tia and Polly. They are the lesbian couple that Phil
kicked out IN SEPTEMBER 2012, the week before we had our car accident.
Since then, we've had their stuff (some of their stuff) under our house.
It's not that we don't have the space, but after almost 9 months,
enough is enough is enough. I have SMSd them repeatedly to come get
their stuff. They don't reply.
I SMSd this Wednesday night and said please come get your stuff bc we're up for lease renewal and might be moving. LIES. We've already re-signed our lease BUT I WANT THEIR STUFF GONE!!!
No reply. I talked to Tony up the road and he said he has a mate who works for Salvos and he'd come get it on Monday. Awesome.
Saturday, Tony came down just as the fridge guy came. JUST as Tony is coming back for load 2, which was almost the end of the girl's stuff, my phone buzzes. GUESS WHO??? Fucking Polly. ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME?????? No. Oh fuck no. NO. NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what she said (this is going to hurt me to type it, you have to try to read it as I did):
hey T, its polly, sory hav tkn so lng in getn bak 2 u, havn't had fone. We r bak in Melbourne at the mo wld b bak by fri latest. If thats 2 late let me knw & we wil try organis som1 to cum get stuff. Sory to inconvenience u.
MY EYES! BRAIN! BURSTS! OUCH! JFC you can type out Melbourne and inconvenience but not KNOW or TO??? BLARGH! As Anna asked when I sent this to her "What language is that?" She's not wrong.
EVERYONE told me I was being too nice. Their stuff had been there for almost 9 months. Enough time to have a baby, as Steve pointed out. :P Tony said after 3 months, it's mine and I can do with it as I please. The RTA says 30 days (if it's worth less than $1500). A box of their papers was more or less ruined through the rains this year. Some of their stuff, we went through and it was just old pens and crap, so we binned it.
Tia SMSs me yesterday and says PLEASE do not take it to the Salvos. Ok. Fine. She asked if the paper box we chucked had photos in it. HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOW??
They are apparently in Melbourne. Can't find a place to live in Brisbane but they can fly all over the country? WTF???
People keep telling me I am too nice. I feel like a chump.
I'm giving them til this weekend. Then, I am binning it all. I don't need this shit. I don't need their crap cluttering up my life. UGH. JUST NO. NO. They have MAYBE one car load of stuff to move.
This is all Phil's fault. I blame him 100%. CUNT.
Had a great time at Clare's yesterday. DID NOT want to come to work today. At all. It should be a long weekend, goddammit!! Met some cool new people, so that's good. Drank great beer, had good food and lots of laughs. I do adore Alan and Clare.

Smithers: Sir, the actors are here to audition for the part of you. Burns: Excellent.
SPOILERS!
I need to get this off my chest about Hannibal.
First episode PISSED ME OFF. Will Graham is NOT 'on the spectrum'. He's just really fucking good at his job. Being good at something =/= autism/idiot savant.
Laurence Fishburne as Crawford? Oh please.
Freddie Loundes as a woman? OH PLEASE X 10.
Mads as Hannibal. GIMME MORE!
My problem lies in that this TV series is all meant to take place BEFORE Hannibal is caught and yet, there are so many references to Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs that I just can't. You can't reference a movie/book where Hannibal is in jail and then use it in a TV series before he is even caught.
Are the directors doing this so we can 'relate'? ANYONE who has seen the movies or read the books knows that a lot of the lines being spoken were shared between Graham and Hannibal while Hannibal was in prison. BLARGH!
Freddie Loundes is really pissing me off. If they are trying to make her a love interest, I will lose my collective shit. She deserves to be set on fire and sent through a parking garage. Just saying.
The more the show goes on, the more Hannibal I see, the more I like it. MORE HANNIBAL, less Graham.
The last episode (#6 for those up to date) felt like the biggest rip off of Silence of the Lambs EVER. While I liked the idea of Eddie Izzard as a baddie, it was not some random who attacked a nurse. Ok, I'll give him creativity points for the way he killed her, unlike the mere eating of her face that Hannibal gave her in the books/movies. The killing of the Junior Clarice pissed me off. If she was as smart as Crawford made her out to be, she's not have been killed. Again, total rip off of the books, only done badly. Hannibal stabbed Graham when he put the pieces together. Graham lived.
Am loving watching Hannibal feed people, especially Crawford and Graham. I don't care what he says, he's feeding them humans. It's awesome.
I can't stop watching but at the same time, I wish they would leave the fucking books/movies alone. This should have all taken place BEFORE Hannibal's capture (AKA: GET YOUR OWN STORY FOR THE TV SHOW). There's not been a book written about that. There are references in the others. I do love the Mason Verger story in the book 'Hannibal'.
Also, for those of you watching The Following, can I just say WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT LAST EPISODE?!?!?!? How do they expect me to wait another 12 months to resolve this one????!!!!!! Love The Following. LOVE IT.
Hannibal...you better pick your socks up before Joe Carroll becomes my new favourite sociopath.

Wagaya Japanese food
This place is AMAZING. I love the ordering system of the ipad at the end of the table. WARNING! You may order more than you can eat.
The tuna sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
The grilled eel, which I have never liked anywhere else I have tried it, will make me try it other places. The sauce on the eel is gorgeous and the eel melts in your mouth.
The rolls could do with less mayo, but that might be my dislike of Japanese mayo.
The gyoza is perfect, soft and well pan-fried with awesome flavour.
They seem to love grapfruit juice in their cocktails. I was somewhat disappointed that the cocktail menu was not clearer as to what was in each drink.
The green tea cheesecake is disgusting. DO NOT ORDER IT. It's as if someone just smashed dried green tea into a day-old cheesecake and re-formed it. AVOID!!
Despite a weird cocktail and a bad taste of someone's dessert, I would highly highly recommend Wagaya to anyone who loves Japanese food.

Haveli Indian food
Have been to Haveli twice now. Loved it each time we were there. The
curries are well worth the drive from Brisbane to Vic Point.
The onion and spinach pakoras are my fave starters. Their tandoori chicken is beautifully tender and very flavourful. The tugh tikka is amazing. Would highly recommend it. The banquet for 2 feeds at least 3 people, so be VERY hungry when you order.
The curries are really rich in flavour and you can really taste the love and care that they put into making them. The chicken sabji had a great rich flavour with just the right touch of cilantro to make it extra special. The goat curry is a really rich, flavourful serve as well and the meat is exceptionally tender. The mango lamb was delicious with a nice sweet sauce.
The decor of the restaurant is entertaining as well, with private booths if you want a little romantic dinner.
My only concern is the wait staff. They seem less than attentive and their ability to bring out all the necessary items at the right time is less than wonderful. Who eats papadams without the sauces?
