While procrastinating (I should be writing an essay on the origins of modern democracy and socialism), I discovered these Mr Potato Heads available from thinkgeek.com.

Coolest things ever Y/N?

Today was pretty slow and uneventful. _tiana_  wrote a new LoVe fic which was cool. Went food shopping with mum. Finally saw the finale of 'Frasier' because Nine is stupid and made us wait this long. Made a stir fry for tea: was yum. Dad got a new vehicle for work, a ute. Found half a Star Warsy crispy M&M on my desk: score!

In other news, I love Ricky Gervais. But then who doesn't love Ricky? Well Americans don't love Ricky because they felt the need re-do 'The Office' when the original was perfection personified. Schtupid Americans. Yeah.

Can't really be bothered to write any more. Gonna go check my fanfic sites then go to bed.

Had work this morning and I didn't want to faint so that's an improvement. However it was super busy which sucked. And we ran out of 'Star Wars' crispy M&M's! (I work at a supermarket) So sad. I was forced to buy Kit Kat Bites instead and they aren't the least bit Star Warsy. They do sort of taste the same though.

Yesterday I was going to recap, for your entertainment and mine, the movie "The African Queen" starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn and directed by John Huston. However, I hadn't seen it before and it was hard to type and watch the movie at the same time so I stopped. After two minutes. (What? It was hard recapping the sound of the jungle. Shut up!)

So now I'll tell you of the things I learned while watching this movie.

1. It is easy to make torpedoes (My only experience with making explosive devices is when we made sparkler bombs at a couple of neighbourhood barbecues but they wern't that great. Oh and there was the time I blew up a barbecue (except I didn't really blow it up, parts of it that wern't supposed to be on fire just caught on fire. It was windy that day. There was really no need to call the fire department. And I don't think it was really my fault. Hello? There was totally no parental supervision. And I was, like, 10))

2. It is easy to fix a broken propeller

3. Capsised boats will rise to the surface at just the right moment in order to blow up a German ship

4. Just before you are about to be hanged, your German captors will marry you to your fellow captee. Which is very bizarrely nice of them. Well though they were German, they wern't Nazis so that might explain it.

5. It is easy to blow up a German ship

6. When dragging your boat through the reeds as you walk in chest high water, the worst that will happen is that leaches will latch onto you. You won't be attacked by crocodiles or hippos or poisonous snakes.

7. It is really easy for an alcoholic to give up gin cold turkey. Really!

8. Humphrey Bogart had crooked teeth. Hadn't noticed this before. (I have perfect teeth and my sister is always having dental dramas because the morning of an inter-school carnival she and my brother started fighting in the play room and she fell on the floor and chipped her tooth on the tiles. Ever since then it had been dental drama after dental drama. She even hurt her tooth when we were in Phuket! (also while fighting with my brother. Noticing a patten? I have) Anyway because of all this (and the dental dramas another one of my friends had (they had to break her jaw in order to correct her over-bite) I tend to notice dental imperfections fairly quickly)

9. It is seriously hard to guess Katharine Hepburn's age. I kind of always knew this one but it was really apparent in this movie.


Dinner is ready. Will be back later.
