Birdy

Chef at Home rocks! Love that guy.

Had a steak bbq for lunch at work, four vodka sodas and four jello shooters. Now i'm home and about to take my first official nap of the holidays! YAY!

haha... i was just about to say... i was so bored that i contemplated. than i opened it up.

I think i needed a pre-warning, to your warning Ollie!

Note to all: drinking at work, and then stopping, blows! I feel like crawling under my desk and dying.

I'm at work, currently downing my second coffee with Baileys and plotting how to escape early.

I read the coroner sent away the results of the autopsy for toxicology tests, and it will be 4-6 weeks until they're back. But rumour has it, large amounts of prescription drugs were found at her house, which I'm sure if taken in excess could have caused her to go into cardiac arrest.

I'm not the hugest Brittany Murphy fan... but as a girl, and general fan of girl-y movies, I did think she was kinda cute. I've been reading the 'star' responses to her death, and a whole whack of them say that she was a little piece of sunshine. And I thought so too... from her roles, and all. So it is sad. I like little pieces of sunshine.

Whoa! Brittany Murphy died at age 32 of full cardiac arrest.

Way harsh.

Rumour had it this weekend the CFAS show is not happening this year. But that's just what's going around... who knows!

Seems like a perfect gig for Backbacon.
