-> Thuderstorms are cool, but better if you're home. Since I'm not, this is slightly suckful.
-> I sometimes forget that my Dad was in the Army, up until we're discussing grenades when I'm visiting for dinner (yes, okay, not sure how we got on that topic) and he says with a kind of snorfle -
"You see those guys pulling pins with their teeth in the movies and pins were hard to pull out so it's not really the best thing to do, plus, I wouldn't put a grenade that close to my face."
Yeah, I get most of my dryness from my dad.
-> I'm listening to a song on the computer that I want to dance to but I'm at work... so probably not a good idea.
-> Looooong weekend. Woo!
-> Watching Lost series 1 and it's kinda hi-larious how the aussie accent sounds when you hear it on an US show.

Re: Aussie accents on US tv. I feel your pain. They show old British sitcoms on Public Television on Saturday nights, and there are several BBC miniseries that are popular over here (mostly mystery series, such as Poirot and Inspector Morse, though a few others such as Sharpe and Pride and Prejudice get run as well). Hearing what they think of as an American accent ... is kind of weird. They never get the "r"s right. Never.
