Another time waster found!

tetrisAt PlayItOnTheWeb you can play Xeno tower defense games as well as over 8000 other ones, wowsers.

Like I need another site to waste endless hours on, but what can I say I am a complete sucker for these sorts of games and it’s been a long time since I came across a site with so many available for free — they have all the classics like Frogger, Tetris and Mario as well as ones I have never seen before such as Gravitee a game where you launch a ball through gravity fields and loops.

When I have some more time tomorrow I am really going to get my teeth sunk in :)

 

24

24I have enjoyed the first five episodes a lot, 24 for me is one of the few American drama type shows that has maintained its initial appeal. Every thing else seems to lose the plot, literally, after the first few seasons.

I can’t wait to see how it pans out.

 

Drug Testing

drugsMy lovely fiance has to get a drug test done, on a saliva sample, in a few days time because of a job he’s applied for with the police — he’s not applied to be an actual policeman, just work with them via the CCTV units, so it seems a bit overkill to me, but hey ho.

He joked that even if he was a druggie he’d lay a bet that you could find a site that would help you pass any drug test in this day and age, you can get information and products for 1000s of random things online so why not this also?

He was right of course, we quickly came across Online Detox Store which claims to be able to do just that.

 

Susan you little devil!

cheerleaderI was laughing so hard at Susan and Karl on Neighbours the other day, their little cheerleader roll play was hilarious.

Why did they ever make these two split up, who ever had that bright idea needs sacking…and whoever decided they needed to get back together deserves a raise.

She’s such a little minx.

 

Home is where the heart is

houseOur new house that we are moving into in Febrary…had I already mentioned about out new house? I think I just may have done you know, once…maybe twice…maybe 100 times ;) Well it’s not a new house, not by any means, in fact I think it was built back in the 1970s so it’s pretty old by current standards — I am fine with that, obviously there are benefits to owning a fancy newly built home but in todays climate any house is a great house.

Schumacher Homes is a Louisiana based company that builds beautiful top quality family homes. I’ve just been looking at some of their stunning properties online and, well, I can only dream that one day I will be able to live somewhere like that. You can find more Schumacher Homes Information direct from the site.

 

Lost, lost the plot!

lostI am about 30 minutes into the first episode of Lost and…meh.

Time Travel huh? The laziest and most unimaginative plot device known to man, how dull.

I have given up for now because it was annoying me. Don’t get me wrong, I am not ditching Lost completely — I am dedicated to the shows I like even after the turn to crap, I will watch the rest of the episode and indeed the rest of the season.

But not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even within the next month. It’s simply not that interesting any more.

 

Current Project

barI am currently helping a friend set up a bar, and it is sooooo exciting. It means that I get to play at interior design — something that I have wanted to do since I was a teenager and I get to design a bar without actually being the one risking all my money, which is also something I have always wanted to do but never thought I would be able to.

Best of all is that he’s paying me to do it! We’re not talking a proper interior designers wage here…since, well obviously I am not a proper interior designer….but I’d be happy to do it for free to be honest so any money is a bonus :)

The next thing on the list we need super fast is bar rails and hand rails for the stairs, so I was searching around a while ago trying to find somewhere local we could go pick them up and I came across Buy Railings, they really do have an extensive range of rails including every thing we currently need! He gets the final say on every thing so I don’t know if we will end up ordering from there — but I am definitely be going to show him some of the items I have picked out and recommending we do!

 

..and another thing

scalesI was just reminded of the previews for next weeks episode of The Biggest Loser, where they basically told us which two were going to be under the yellow line next week.

What now?

You want me to sit through two hours of working out, temptations and weighing when I already know the outcome?

I go out of my way to avoid spoilers for all TV shows, they totally ruin it for me.

Of course it is possible they were bluffing — it seems to be The Biggest Losers editors favourite trick, but either way I will be watching the episode with a preconceived idea of how it’s going to end, and a 2 second ‘Oh, they were lying…SHOCK!!’ moment wouldn’t make up for 2 hours of thinking I knew what was coming.

Please don’t do that again editing monkeys.

 

Must Have List

toasterWhen we move into the new place in a few weeks time, we will need a lot of stuff. We are starting from new basically — but I have compiled a list of urgent things:

Kettle — Can’t be without cups of tea
toaster – Toast is my breakfast every day
Plates & Cutlery — No explanation needed!
Iron — Can’t be having creases.
Linen & Towels — For, well obvious reasons.

I am sure there’s a lot of stuff I have forgotten, but those are things we need on the first day.
