This week was an interesting week in my musical choiceyniss. First of all, i discovered the joys of The Sunshine Underground's fucking catchy and beatastical Put You In Your Place. It says i have listened to it 9 times this week, that doesn't count my iPod plays.

Now Goo Goo Dolls still on top of the artist lists, Nickelback somehow came up...i think i must have been asleep during that. Kiev, the little band that could is back up there, and Johnny Cash's Personal Jesus cover has put him on the Top Ten. I feel sad that Muse is so low...i blame nickelback for tricking their way onto the list.

Ok now onto other musical news that is self orientated. Mika...who is this man? No one knows, but theories suggests that he is an extremely tall hobbit that escaped from Peter Jackson's Weta Prison Camp, and travelled to England to start a musical career. This theory seems to make sense to me, so it shall now be TRUTH! Well who ever this tall hobbit is, he sure makes...hypnotic music. I dont want to admit that i like his song Grace Kelly, but ...*looks around*i do *sobs*. Its so strange and catchy, i bet he mixes his songs with subliminal messages to love him...DAMN YOU HOBBIT MAGIC!

Well that was this weeks musical jamboree, stay tuned until next week where i will interview My Chemical Romance . FOR REAL.

Time: 6pm Saturday
Location: Work
Mood: Me was bored.

It was six pm on a moderately moderate Saturday, and i was bored as hell at work. I tried to bemuse myself with the entertainment that was available to me: the jet blaster, the autowrapper, and the chemical adhesieve remover (although you need to sniff this to have any enjoyment effect take place). After 5 minutes i had become bored of all three, each laid discarded somewhere inside the premises.

My brain sparked, this could be a brilliant oppertunity to use THE LIST *thunderclap*. But which one? Well there was one which i really wanted to do, just because the looks it could inspire would be tremendously awesome. #39- Males:Buy packet of extra extra small condoms. I thought about where i could do this, i could try at my own work, but i didnt want the cashiers to get the wrong impression.

So i headed off to New Lynn, where there was bound to be an abundant supply of extra extra small condoms. My minion Adam tagged along, he was camera operator.We entered the store and searched for the condoms of an XXSmall nature. But alas, New Lynn Foodtown was quite lacking in the extra extra small department, but thinking on my feet i picked up the strangest box there (A life style box containing 4 chocolate, 4 bananas, 2 ribbed, and even 2 glow in the darks), i went striaght to the first lady employee i could see, and asked her "Excuse me, but do these come in any smaller sizes? Im looking for extra extra smalls."
The lady then took the box, looked over it, and finally it dawned on her face that she was holding a box of edible and glowing condoms. She looked at the box, then at me, then at the box and said "Umm..i...arh....i have to go now" she turned around and walked away.

Now i thought my mate had this all recorded on his phone at the time. I went to the cashier to buy it, his name was James, and he went to my school. Infact his tutor group was 5m away from mine. First thing i asked him "Im sure YOU would know if these come in anything smaller right?" he kind of blushed then scanned it. I asked if i could use my Onecard, got about 5 onecard reward points and left. On the way out i saw the lady i asked before about the condoms, she looked at me , turned around and kept walking.

Adam by this time was winded from all the laughing, and i went to look at the footage. It was all good until i went up to the lady, and then all his laughter shook the camera and nothing came out good. Stupid Adam. But atleast i came away one top, and with 2 new people who would never look at me the same way again.



Do The One Oh One!

                                     Before                                                                   After

My Attempt for choco-coating mayhem. And yes, that is is chocolate and not some other brown substance. Poor Magic 8-Ball, no longer shall it tell the future. But atleast it will taste better then it did before (not that i tried to eat my magic 8-ball....)

My original idea was to choco-coat my nefew or niece...but for some reason my sister-in-law wouldn't let me :(
          

So I was craving a major ice creamy crave, and i left the abode of my home for the hazards of the local corner dairy. I walk up the gentle slope, wishing it was slightly gentler, and arrive infront of the dairy. I enter and hear the familiar ding ding ding dong, of the chime. I make my way to the ice cream...cupboard? Pick up a Choc-Bar (my fave icey cream) and head over to the counter to engage the shop owner in a conversation which usually involves 3 basic themes :

1. The weather
2. My parents health
3. How the weather is affecting my parents health

I hand the man some coins, thinking i had enough i begin to leave, but a very strong indian accent calls to me "Oi, you no give me enough!" Thinking the slick buisness man that is the Local Dairy Owner was trying to scam me out of my hard earned money, i went over to tell him off. Then i looked at the coins and realised....CRAP i was like $1.20 off, i gave him 4 20 cents instead of 4 50 cents. I went home, came back, paid the man his money, and then took my then soggy ice cream back.

All this has taught me one thing, New Zealand coins are crap. I mean they were crap before when they were a tonne in weight, but now they are light they are just as bad. NZ just sucks at currency, kind of ironic considering that our high dollar is why 101 people are being laid off at a timber mill in southland. Another of lifes fucked upidys.

This slice of live was brought to you by Imperial Dairy: "Where our prices are reasonable to those who can afford it"

The other day, whilst in my Fortress of Solitude (which is handily located in my bedroom), my arch nemesis boredom decided to show his ugly face. We wrestled and dueled, fighting for supremacy. He threw a yawn at me, and i countered by turning on the tv. Being the dastardly genius that he was, he had forseen this, and planted infomercials on every channel. I was doomed, and sucummed to his evil might, i was...BORED.

Boredom has one good side to it, it inspires. And this boredom inspired me to do something fun, initially i wanted to do 101 Most Geeky Things i could possibly do, and i told my good friend and confedante Sarah. She enjoyed the idea, and wanted to do 101 of her own things, but needed a theme. So we set to work, 3 days later i remembered all this and started writing down 101 things we could do that could be quite fun, and definatly more interesting than watching an infomercial (Most likely a Proactive(tm) one). And born from all that was mentioned in the crap that was the rest of this journal entry, was The 101 List, more lovingly referred to as The 101.

Well i think you should check it out, i mean youve already spent 7 minutes of your life reading this, why not waste a few more on something else?
