Disney!

Most of the time I have itunes on shuffle - I got most of my music from other people and their computers, so periodically stuff I don't know I have turns up. That being said, the Hannah Montana soundtrack was a bit of a shock.

I was somewhat surprised to see Disney's High School Musical dolls and Hannah Montana dolls in the Barbie isle at the Warehouse. I didn't know they existed. But they look better than the Bratz do.

I bought useful things today (a replacement alarm clock, a clock for the lounge, draft stopper tape to go in the windows, a breadboard), pretty thing (another cup from T-Leaf T) and a book. The book makes me happiest, because it's been out in the US for a month, month and a half or so, and I've been looking for it in Dymocks every time I go in.

House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones, a third book set in the Howl's Moving Castle universe. It starts off slowly and is increasingly awesome by the end. tamarillow has Mates and Lovers, a book about gay sex in New Zealand out of the uni library at the moment and I'm looking forward to reading that too.

And it's 8.30pm now, so we need to do dishes. Oh, joy.

EDIT: Dishes done. And farewell to my old alarm clock. It gave me a decade or so of relatively faithful service. I wonder if I'll miss it.
