What do I want for Christmas?

October 31, 2006

I’m serious. I never know what I want. I usually say “nothing” and truly mean it. Of course, by the same token, that doesn’t mean I don’t get that same thrill of opening presents as the next person. This year, Adam has said to me, “Write a list of at least twenty things you want [...]

The curse of the Ad jingle

October 30, 2006

(Warning: this will not make any sense to non-Australians!) There’s an ad on TV at the moment, which I partly love and partly hate. It’s for soho Delites (savoury biscuits) It’s set in an office. The girl takes a bite and pretty soon everyone’s joining in and the tune it set to “Afternoon Delights”. “…sky [...]

What movie are we watching again?

October 29, 2006

I finally sat down and watched all of Batman Begins on the weekend. I enjoyed it, although the script left a lot to be desired. It looked amazing. The visuals were wonderful. Yet, when it came to the climax… (Spoilers, if you haven’t seen it) …where Christian Bale and Liam Neeson are fighting it out [...]

Early shift short straw on daylight savings day

October 28, 2006

I remember working early shifts at McDonalds the day daylight savings begins. Being a teenager, you resent getting out of bed anyway; especially when you lose another hour on top of that. I kind of feel like that this morning because Riley was a ratbag last night and he wanted to get up early. Go [...]

October 27, 2006

I’ve had this written up for a while, but have been distracted this week. Enjoy! Or, if not, have a good laugh at my expense. 1) I love tornadoes Naturally, if I lived in the US mid-west I’d probably have different feelings about them, but I could watch one for hours. There’s just something about [...]

Opinions on the obvious design changes

October 26, 2006

I’ve walked the walk; now I’ve got the t-shirt

October 25, 2006

This arrived for me in mail yesterday: (Available here) After putting it on and realising it was too big for me – thus confirming why I hate buying clothes online – Adam assured me it looks good. What do you all think? Am I a certifiable geek now? Or tre’ cool?

Out of the mouths of babes

October 25, 2006

I am tempted to put Keira’s photo in the celebrity look-alike program. Maybe get a prediction of what she’ll look like in 30 years. Poor Adam, he did NOT bode well in the test, so I will forgoe putting his results up. However, he should be happy. Yesterday we were watching Entertainment Tonight and an [...]

Boost for my self-esteem

October 24, 2006

http://www.myheritage.com I could go on doing these all day! Does this mean I only look 75% like Paris Hilton – – or she only looks 75% like me? I think that ‘missing’ 25% in any case is probably my body fat!
