My Snow Globe: Thoughts from the Inside

I'm So Childish

2009-11-10T14:44:00.005Z

I chuckled when my friend bought me these chocs back from Deutschland.

I also chuckled when I was in a bagel shop today and saw that one of their soups was called: 'Cock-Leekie

Chuckle chuckle.

What Happens When Goats Get Scared

2009-11-04T16:36:00.001Z

I forgot how funny this was.

I've wasted a lot of time laughing at this.

Off to wipe away my tears of laughter.

What I Wore On Halloween

2009-11-01T00:49:00.006Z

This is about as Halloween-y as I get.

I'm just in it for the candy.

Cola Shock - Another reason to visit Japan

2009-08-13T23:21:00.004+01:00

Dear Mr or Mrs Kirin, please could we have this genius idea of vodka and cola in a can made available in the UK?

Thanks very much.

Yes you read right - vodka and cola in a can! So simple, why hasn't it been thought of before?

Where has all the time gone?

2009-07-28T23:08:00.003+01:00

Been a bit post-o-rexic over here of late, mainly because I've been working on my side project Left & Write.

I've managed to give it a little makeover - something that this blog desperately needs - I mean I'm still using one of the original patterned templates for goodness sakes!

So if you need something to read and can't find anything new on here - just head on over there.

I'm toying with the idea of giving up this blog *gasp* and just maintaining one - but we'll see. Can I really just give up my first blog?

Anyhoo... was just checking in.

Over and out.

Lunch with the gang - Luella, Marc and Jade

2009-05-13T22:06:00.008+01:00

Lunch was good today. Went with Jade and met with Luella and Marc - you know how it is.

First stop Luella...

Had to stop myself from getting more bow headbands to add to my collection. This was very difficult as they now come in lilac, purple, bright pink and orange - lovely.

There were also a couple of dresses that caught my eye, but due to the failure of winning last weeks Euro Millions; these dresses were ~~slightly~~ a lot out of my price range.

On another Luella note though, her website has finally been re-done to show the correct seasons collection - it's about time! It's a bit weird to use, but I'll persevere to be able to look at nice things.

Anyway I digress... after a short walk we went to visit the new Marc By Marc Jacobs store. Only one world to describe it - overwhelming - but in a good way. Obviously there was lots of stuff I wanted, but I settled on...
USA Tote - Borderline tacky it's amazing! I love it.

All in all, an amazing lunch. Tomorrow lunch time has a lot to live up to.

I want...

2009-05-09T13:51:00.005+01:00

APC strappy chunky wooden heel sandals please.

Just something else to add to the list...

Either colour will do.

Things that Annoy Me about Fringe (Not my haircut, The TV Show)

2009-05-08T14:16:00.000+01:00

1) The company name 'Massive Dynamics' - Lame.

2) Every week; what ever freak event is happening always relates to Bishop's work - but they only seem to realise this half way through the episode when the situation is critical.

3) Walter saying "someone's continued my work blah blah blah..."

4) Astrid's microphone head hair do.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't like the programme, I'm just saying there are a few things that irk me.
I'll still keep watching though.

p.s Something I do like though - Astrid's surname is Farnsworth, just like Professor Farnsworth from Futurama.

More Florals..

2009-04-07T21:47:00.003+01:00

I had such a lovely walk home today taking in the sights and sounds of Regents Park.

Don't believe me? Just look at these pics.

Well anyway, it just hit me as to why I was loving the flowers in full bloom.

It's because they reminded me of this skirt from River Island.

The pics are from a 'trying on' lunch time session - and yes I would wear this floral skirt with my stripy tee.

9021-Oh!

2009-04-03T22:29:00.004+01:00

OMG! This new 90210 is terrible.

This episode just had me thinking- 'what the hell?!'

Silver is a complete nut case! Think high school fatal attraction.

She's not quite Glenn Close, but she's working on those crazy eyes.

I think she is confusing crazy in love, with just plain crazy bananas!

Also, when will Naomi learn to close her mouth and stop doing goldfish impressions?

I say bring back wonky faced Brenda, wonky boobed Donna, and Kelly any day. Throw in some Sweet Valley High and it may just be best teen prog ever!

I'm off to watch more tv....

Fancy feet!

2009-04-03T20:51:00.001+01:00

Today I took my Liberty print Blazers out for the first time. I love them!

That is why I am taking a pic of them to share, and also so I can have an excuse to blog from my iPhone.

I kind of wish I pooped money, that or won the lottery, so that I could have gotten the blue ones too.

Oh well ney mind, can't have it all.

My Feet Are Sad

2009-02-05T17:26:00.003Z

Why?
Because I miss tap dance.

Don't get me wrong, I was no Gregory Hines, but it was fun.

I miss tap tap tapping in my tap shoes; which are not dissimilar to the picture. Cool right?
Anyway... until I can get back to tap. I'll just have to make do with the watching the professionals.

Enjoy!

I Can't Believe It's Primark

2009-01-29T16:24:00.004Z

It's images like this that suck me in and make me go 'I can't believe it's Primark!', and then I get to the shop and realise that I can't be bothered. But you must admit these Spring/Summer '09 images from Primark don't look half bad.

90210

2009-01-25T21:36:00.005Z

OMG! I have recently been watching the first series of Beverly Hills 90210 - the original Aaron Spelling version - and I am loving it!

I picked up the DVD box set and what a good purchase - now I want all the other series.

Watching it now - they all looked so young, even though they were about 30 at the time. It is soooooooo much better than the new version of 90210.

I am loving the fashion - so bad. All big shoulder pads, over sized jackets, patchwork jeans, and resident bad boy Dylan McKay even wore dungarees!
My fave outfit so far must be Kelly Taylor sporting turquoise tights, black and white checked cycling shorts, some sort of half top and a light denim jacket - nice.

Now enough writing, I've got more 90210 to watch.

Pass The Ice Please...

2009-01-25T21:17:00.006Z

Note to all restaurants and other food establishments : Room temperature coke is unacceptable!

How am I meant to get that 'Ahhhh' moment with warm coke?

Please put it in the fridge beforehand so that it is suitably chilled, or at least give me a glass filled with ice, not one lonely lame looking ice cube that does nothing.

Take heed.

Damn Euro Gold!

2009-01-12T21:40:00.004Z

How much do I want this dress? A lot. It is currently on sale for 210 Euros, but the damn conversion rate at the moment is a major spanner in the financial works.

So I will have to make do with just oogling this Ashish wool bow dress online; at least that's free.

Actually, knowing my luck I'll probably get charged for just looking!

Damn that Euro gold!

Christmas is Officially Over!

2009-01-05T14:30:00.002Z

Boo hoo... I think this picture says it all.

Christmas Has Come To Town

2008-12-12T00:05:00.009Z

More accurately and specifically Christmas has come to my desk at work. I'm drunk on festive spirit and have festooned my computer screen with some USB fairy lights. Now I also want the USB flashing Christmas tree. It may seem a bit much, but I love it!

Now what goes with all of this Christmas cheer? Christmas music of course!

On a totally unrelated note, as I was snapping away at my fairy lights, my friend decided it would be a good idea to take a pic of my lovely Luella Bow - she was right! Look you can even see my fairy lights on computer screen.

Therapy Now Needed

2008-12-07T13:19:00.004Z

This may be one of the most disturbing pictures I have ever seen.

Image From: Woordenaar

Innocently browsing through my google reader at the posts from Digital Photography School, I came across their Fun lego photo post. Arrrrrgggh! May I just say the pic above is not fun, it is traumatising!

Sick.

2008-11-25T21:02:00.004Z

Aaaa-chhhooo! The germs have finally got me. All I can say is thank goodness for the interweb and laptops. Now pass the Vicks vapour rub please.

Thank You For The Music...

2008-11-17T22:57:00.005Z

Working for Urban Outfitters certainly has it perks. But when I look at the US U.O website I always find stuff that I wish we had here.

Currently at the top of my 'U.O I want... list is:

Library AV Retro Turntable

Plays vinyl and you can hook it up to your mac (and PC - yuck!)

iPod Boom Box

Not much more I can say other than - OMG! I want. Breakin' 2: Electric Bugaloo

Pass The Dunce Hat Please

2008-11-09T12:03:00.005Z

This photo by Arthur Tress pretty much sums up how I felt yesterday.

Two of my friends got married and normally my problem is that I'll forget to charge the camera, and after two pictures my photo taking fun will be over.

So, this time I thought I'd be prepared and make sure that the battery was fully charged, and I did. Yey me!

Only problem was when we got to the registry office, I found I had forgotten to put the memory card in!

So pass the dunce hat please...

We've Officially Run Out Of Music

2008-11-03T20:56:00.004Z

Well that can be the only reason I can think of for this tragic compilation...

I Want To Write Good Thoughts On A Card To My Beloved

2008-10-28T23:41:00.004Z

Ahhh... I haven't gone all mushy on you. The title of this post is what someone actually typed into google and by some random algorithm - ended up at my blog.

I feel kinda bad, as I don't think my blog had anything that would have helped them. Oh well.

World's Funniest Baby Has Been Born

2008-10-26T23:06:00.002Z

Live From New York , Amy Poehler gives birth! Don't worry, not live; but yes the world's funniest baby has arrived. I am talking about the offspring of Amy Poehler and Will Arnett - Archie Arnett.

I know this happened the other day, but I'm only getting round to writing about it now... so what are you going to do? Anyway...

With parents of that comedic calibre little Archie is bound to be funny right? The only way he could get any funnier would be if they spliced a dash of Tina Fey's eggs and Steve Carrell's sperm, and threw it into the mix.
Now that would be one funny looking baby!
