Locker Room Breakdown

My gorgeous James has started his own blog. Basically, I kind of got tired of listening to him talk about sports all the time, and he's a great writer, so he is now writing about sports...so that I don't have to listen to as much. He covers sports that he loves, like Premier League, FIFA World Cup, F1, Cricket, American Football, and when the Super XV starts that'll be covered too. So, if you have a friend or boyfriend who is also sport crazy, let them have a little look. :)

It's called Locker Room Breakdown, and I think it's pretty awesome.

Sesame Street - Glee

You may have to actually watch Glee to get some of the jokes in this, but this is a spot on spoof. It is also very educational about the letter "G".

Always Welcome

I wish these little guys would visiting more often, I love them.

In other news, I can now officially say I have lived in Australia for more than 2 years!

Sesame Street - Don't Give Up

In my opinion, this isn't as good as the Will.i.am song, but I still enjoy it. :)

Fudgesicles

The other day, on my walk in to work, I thought I had left my purse at home, my purse containing my swipe card to get into work. My initial reaction to this realisation was "Sugarpuffs", and this somewhat shocked me.

Most people that know me well can tell you that swear words are very unlikely to come out of my mouth. I don't know what it is about them, I just feel uncomfortable saying them, with the occasional exception for varieties of the word 'poo' (which to be honest are so common in most peoples day to day speech, and are much better at describing a bad day or situation). Despite knowing this about myself I was still shocked, that in a park, on my own, with no one around, my response was "Sugarpuffs".

Where does 'Fudgesicles' come into this? Well, I then started thinking about what words I do use in place of your typical swear words, and my list consists of: Fudgesicles, Fiddlesticks and Sugarpuffs. The first two are my preferred substitutes.

Anyone else have words they use in place of swearing?

Sony BRAVIA

I was browsing Pinterest and came across some images from the Sony BRAVIA bouncy ball ad...and that lead me to finding all of Sony BRAVIA's awesome ads. They are seriously some of the coolest ads ever made.

The bouncy balls and exploding paint are my favourites, what are yours?

Sesame Street - Celebrity Lullabies with Ricky Gervais

I am so torn about whether I like Ricky Gervais or not, he seems like such a prick, but then I watch video's of him and Elmo and he doesn't seem so bad...this video is hilarious.

Blog on my Mind

If I blogged posts as much as I thought about blogging posts this blog would have a lot more posts. Got your head round that one yet?

I spend so much time going "This would make a good blog post" and then narrating it in my head. I then forget all about it and sit at home in the evening thinking "What was that thing I thought was blog-worthy?"

I do this at least 3 times a week.

Why Must You Do This To Us?

It's that time of the year again, where people start making you cry with their Christmas ads. In Australia we don't get as many sad Christmas ads, so I'm not subjected to being made to cry every time I watch TV. However, through my Strictly Come Dancing following I discovered that John Lewis had started to show their Christmas ad, and curiously looked it up. I'm not entirely sure why I looked it up, they are notorious for making people cry about Christmas, and I am one big cry baby, but I did and I cried.
If you don't want to watch the ad, it's basically about a bear who has to hibernate through Christmas. The bear and his hare friend seem pretty sad about this. So, for Christmas the hare gives his bear friend an alarm clock so he can wake up for Christmas and enjoy it with his friends. This should be a happy and sweet story, but they do it to the song "Somewhere only we know" and that seems to make it super sad.

Why do British Christmas ads have to be so sad?

Michael McIntyre FINALLY in Australia

Yesterday James woke up at the same time as me, and we both sat at our computers as we woke up for the day ahead. James then read an article titled "Michael McIntyre: the biggest comedy star you've never heard of", yeah, we know, what? Excitement ensued. We looked up tickets. Limited tickets left. Eeeek! We booked. We're going. We're excited.

For those of you who don't know who he is, here's a video (if you do know who he is, enjoy anyways):

PS: Parents, I know you like Michael McIntyre on Facebook, and he mentioned his visit all the way back in September...why did you not tell me????? Seriously? We are disappointed in you.
