I will marry Geoffrey Rush.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in Australia in our fabulous Shack.
		We will have 4 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a Black Batmobile.
		I will spend my days as a Kitchen Assistant, and live happily ever after.

I went to see shadou44's mum, Helen, briefly yesterday because she's looking after my Phoenix-boy until I move in with my friend next week. (It's all very hectic!) She's so cool - she shows far more of an interest in my Rushie adventures than my own family. She asked me about New York when I drove there yesterday afternoon, so I told her about the weather, the people, the sights and all that, and then she gives me a significant look and says "And Geoffrey...?" LOL. So I then rambled for a couple of minutes about the wonder that is Mr. Rush and she couldn't believe it - and her husband, who heard a little of the exchange from the living room, said "What's that?" and Helen replied, "It's Geoffrey, the love of her life!" At which point the 7-year-old son goes "wooo" in that suggestive playground-love way. LOLz. Yes, guilty as charged.

Photobucket is not playing today so I'm uploading a selection of my photos to another image site - I'll share the link shortly. I'll also do my best to get a kind of report uploaded to "cRUSH" within the next few days before I am overtaken once more by work, moving house and dog training.

Eeee - still so excited! I can't believe this all happened a week ago already!!! ♥ Love you all and love you Geoffrey. ♥

I have jet lag again... damn it. I hardly slept throughout the journey home so I'm really tired now. It didn't help that there was congestion on the runway at JFK airport so we were sat on a motionless plane for 1 hour and 40 minutes after scheduled take-off time. But I got home safely, and the only other thing that went wrong was that my bottle of body-wash leaked into my bag. Fortunately nothing Geoffy-related was damaged, and the suitcase does at least smell of lavender now. I was also wise enough to keep my plushy fox in my carry-on luggage so he received no damage. (I bought a huge plushy fox from NY, for those of you who don't know - I think he's going to have to be called Geoffrey in honour of this famous guy I occasionally mention, and also to commemorate the big Rushie Meet this week. Heheh.)

So it's back to reality tomorrow. Work, dog training, commissions, British weather, pounds and pennies, and driving on the left-hand side of the road. ;) Miss all you wonderful Rushies already -- and Mr. Rush, too. I hope his final performance of "Exit the King" today goes well! It's a cracking little show and I'm so glad I have been privileged enough to see it.

OMFG - it was AMAZING! Will write it all up when I get home... You ROCK Mr. Rush! ♥ ♥ ♥ And so do you Rushies!!! Love you all! *hugs*

I'm in New York! :D Going to see "Exit the King" and teh Geofferz later! Woot!

And damn it's humid here! We had a massive thunderstorm last night - I'm so glad I'm not on a top floor!

Oooh, nearly forgot... it's 11.08pm... ^^;

Happy 87^th Birthday to Christopher Lee! You rock!

Ooooo - Grace liked Star Trek lots! :D ( A few little Trek film spoilers ) T'was a good film overall! I might have to see it again once I have time. (Or just wait for the DVD since they come out so quickly these days and cost just a bit more than a cinema ticket.)

This will be the film which draws in new people to the Trek franchise, I think, in a similar way to how Russell T. Davies' new Doctor Who introduced a whole new generation of fans to the show - and a whole different type of fan, as well.

Now off to work... damn you, Bank Holiday Monday! I wouldn't have a shift to do otherwise... :(

What is this contraption I see before me? Ah, t'is a computer and, what's that? Is it "Livejournal"? Hmmm... why does this feel familiar?

:D

Yeah, sorry for my looooooooong absence - I'm nearing the end of my university struggle, though! Finally! My 4000 project went in last Friday (*phew*) and now all that's left are two exams (the week before I fly to NY!), then it's the uni' ball (I'm going to a ball! Shite...) and NY ahoy! I still love you all, and love you Geoff, but I've been so stupidly busy -- then when I haven't been busy I've either been at work, or zig-zagging across the East Midlands in my car going to see my dog in Derby, or... just doing nothing because it's too much effort to do something. :) (I have been keeping up on Facebook but that's easy - you just type in your status box then leave again.)

I have US dollars to get (still) and 6 doggy art commissions due Friday (eep!), then revision to get on with so I may disappear for at least the next fortnight before I become a regular again. (I'm totally not ready for New York but maybe it'll be more fun because of that!)

One last question, though: I've never had the inclination to watch Star Trek ever in my life (I've been happy with Star Wars and the first series of the new Doctor Who and what-not) but I've just seen the third trailer for the shiny-new Star Trek film and it looks pretty good - has anyone seen it? I wanna know if it's worth my throwing £8.00 away to go and see it. (I might just go anyway - not been to the cinema since I was in Oz and I like to go once in a while. Wonder if I can persuade anyone to go with me...?)

Oh US exchange rate, I hate thee! If I was going to Oz again, I'd get more than $2 to a pound - and apparently I'd be stinking rich in New Zealand with $2.60 dollars to the pound! But no, Grace is going to the US where she'll be luck to get more than $1.44 for a pound.

So... should I wait to buy US dollars or are things not likely to get better by June? And how much money am I going to need? I'm trying to work out a budget... Need to pay for food, hotel, travel, touristy stuff, souvenirs, etc, etc. Argh, head hurts!

Meanwhile, sunny weather ahoy! It's so warm here today! Lovin' it! Sunny warm weather makes me happy. And I've spoken to Robert Axelrod via Facebook. Yay.

I am STRESSED! But smiling! Having a bit of a crazy month, I think. :D There's two essays needing to be done by Friday, there's a project needing a bit of TLC and concentration, I has work tonight, tomorrow, and the night after, followed by uni' on Friday, and my brain is full of Star Wars and I don't know why! I just wanna watch Episode III over and over and laugh at its overblown but total fun-ness. Argh! *headbutts teh wall*

Did you know... in July, it will be TEN YEARS since I saw "The Phantom Menace". Am a little scared by that. Ten years?! Ach. I might write a bit of SW fic next week, if my essays get done... I'm feeling creative. And I really want to give "Attack of the Clones" a total makeover.

And yay for Simone (cohonslove)! Saw your pics from NY on Facebook! Another Rushie has met teh Geofferz! Oh yeah! Not long for us June NY nomads now.
