Plushieee

Saw Shane today, woOo! Watched the Gadget Show and Primeval! Both were very good. On the Gadget Show, they were showing how good Twitter is for getting people to events. I guess you have to be pretty popular in the first place though!

I wanna buy some new cool things online to spruce up my room. I would like a Viva PiƱata Plush toy! I don’t think they exist though. =( I’ve googled and I can’t see anything. Others that I’m thinking of getting are a Monster inc. Mike Wazowksi, or a Nemo from Finding Nemo. Any other idea’s for a cool plush toy?

I think my friend Debbie might like these! http://animalcrossing.planets.gamespy.com/images/products/plush3.gif

Summer Approaches!

uWell we're in May already. Gosh! I don't know about you but it doesn't seem 5 minutes since I was at my sister's Christmas party making Playdoh Mr. Potato Head's with my 5 yr old niece and younger nephews haha!

Time is indeed moving on and most noticeably by the fact that my hair is now touching my shoulders. I intend to grow it longer though. I'm also wanting to go blonde. I would love to be a natural light blonde. I just can't afford the maintence at the moment. I don't trust box colours, especially as I've just been told that my hair has an underlying pigment of gold. I don't want it to go brassy. If I got it professionally coloured, it's about £22 every 6 weeks for a root touch-up. (You can get a contract phone for that much.) If you don't get the roots done though, it's gonna look really odd. Especially with the contrast of my mousey brown against a really light blond. Maybe highlights would be OK though!

So now hair's been discussed, what else is there? Shane and I plan to go Alton Towers this week so I'm gonna check the weather for that in a mo. I've got to go the job centre this week. Argh. lol. The jobsearch points (more like motherships) I go on seem to have problems recently. For example, one that I used, you press Continue to go on to the next page of available jobs and it just wasn't having any of it. You can bash away at it til next year but that new page isn't going to show. Little good it would do anyway. Bah! More jobs in food as a kitchen assistant, I noticed. They seemed to be ten a penny, but even those seem to be dwindling down as of late. I can hardly make myself a cup of tea and I have no common sense so I'm not going to be any use in a kitchen, am I?

Next... er, music! I'm starting to get back on track with my music, I think. I'm still kinda disheartened that I've not had anyone go WOW about tracks I have composed recently. Maybe they need to be more original, maybe I need to just spend more time on them. I think I have the potential to write good songs, especially because the track "How 2 Belong" that I wrote and produced with Tommy seems to have alot of fans. I've got a kind of computer-game electropop tinge to my tracks currently, but maybe that's just not cutting the mustard, maybe I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board. I DO know that I'm loving Bat For Lashes' song "Daniel" at the moment. It's such an evocative piece with such smart, elegant lyrics! Her voice rocks too!

Shane's been working today so it's not been like a normal Sunday. I did see him earlier though, which was great! We watched lots of "Just For Laughs" on Fiver. That's a great show, that is! A bit distasteful when this fake cleaner picked up a shovel of fake dog poo and threw it at passers by. Their reactions were priceless though and we laughed out louddddd. Fiver's also showing the Da Vinci Code film next Sunday. My parents are away so Shane will be stopping over and I think we may watch it. I hear the books quite good! I've not heard about the film. I've still got to watch Rugrats in Paris. It was one of my play.com impulse buys. £2.11 free delivery. How can one say no? I loved the first Rugrats Movie, so it had to be done. I'll see if Shane will watch it with me. He best not fall asleep watching it :P

Is there anything else I can talk about? Erm. Oh, I saw this Tamagotchi Music Star thing the other day, and it reminded me of how much I used to LOVE cyber pets. Did you all have them? I had an amazing orange talking cat one. "Talking Nano Kitty" One's for sale online, unopened for £67 o.O I don't know where mine is. =( Obviously it's been used though. Another thing I saw was a COLOUR Tamagotchi! They're only in Japanese and they have a backlit colour screen! The casing was VERY cheap and plain looking though. But anyway, the Tamagotchi Music Star allows you to take the old one to a new level by allowing it to become a music star! It's hardly going to be X Factor, is it? A melodic beep beep noise and a screen with as many pixels as peas on my Sunday lunch. A price tag of £12.49 too. I believe the original was £9.99. I was happy with the cheaper alternatives tbh. Though I did treat myself to the Talking Nano Kitty back in 1997 and I also bought a dalmation one that woofed. It was in the shape of a dog and I bought it from a school friend for £8. Those 2 were the best Cyber Pets, in my opinion.

Wow, this blog has turned into a mini novel. If you're still reading, well done! Or maybe it's well done me for writing something that kept you so hooked! (I wish) lol.

More to come! (Tomorrow, maybe) =P

New look! =)

I have updated the dreary blog! LOL. I think it was a bit too "rainy-day". Did anyone see Britain's Got Talent? The violinist was very good! I thought it was a shame her friend didn't get given another chance to audition solo. She was a good piano pianist and she said she wrote that song herself! I think it was a bit beyond Simon Cowell's comprehension as he called it "indulgent" o.O I think it was worthy of some praise! I also think the audience liked it, and Ant and Dec were shocked when they all buzzered them. But yes, a very good violinist either way! It was a shame to see her friend didn't turn up to wish her well though. If it were my friend, I'd have hoped they'd come to watch me in that situation. Maybe her pride was hurt because she didn't get another chance. =(

I'm looking forward to X Factor. Ooh! Eurovision's on soon too! Cheesy as hell, and SO UNFAIR. It's fun though, and me and my friend Will usually watch it and have a laugh talking about the sheer craziness of some of the acts and all the bad ones! Ha! Do you remember the man with huge shades and dressed up as a Christmas Tree? "Sieben, sieben, aye lu lu, sieben, sieben, eins, zwei!" Arghh! I think that song won! Not sure though. LOL. Will says that Graham Norton is presenting it this year as Terry Wogan has resigned. I think Graham's a good choice! He has the right sense of humour to narrate something like the Eurovision Song Contest. Isn't the song meant to be written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, too? I didn't follow that show, so I'm eager to hear the song and see which person was chosen!

Anyway, I think that's enough for tonight, ha ha. I'll write again soon!

Ding Dong!

Well it's been quite a lazy day today tbh! I have applied for a job at PC World though, woo! Fingers crossed for that. As I write this, Alan Carr's Ding Dong is on in the background, but it's a repeat :( They really need to make a new series!

I've been writing a song that's quite chilled and a bit mellow but I think it sounds nice so I'm gonna work on that more tomorrow!

I want to spruce this blog up a tad because it's a bit plain, so I think I'm going to get the graphics tablet out tomorrow! =P Also my friend Debbie may be doing some cartoon version's of us, so that will be ace.

Bionic Commando Demo - Xbox 360 (First Impressions)

Well, first of all, whoever GRIN is, their company logo is very scary with the horrible, manky teeth thing going on. Got to the main screen. It’s quite basic! I was expecting something dramatic, and now I find it’s Xbox Live only so they’re putting me in a Deathmatch as I type this! I’ve had no say in the specific settings of it or anything, so it’s not very helpful. I know demo's are just meant to be a taster but gosh! The list of players is ready. (God help me cuz I’m crap at these games.)

Well.. I left after 5 minutes. As I expected, I was shot dead within two and the graphics weren't good! It was so dark I could hardly see!. The screenshots before I downloaded looked great! Comic book style superhero jumping around lush green environments but this demo, I think, just sucks!! I’m sure some people out there will love it. Not for me, thank you!

Is anybody out there??

This post is to see if anybody is reading my blogs! I've just made this account, but I can't see a way to socialise, and I was was just wondering if anyone is actually reading this?! LOL. If you have read this, leave me a comment. Introduce yourself :D. Or comment on my other blogs please! Especially the discontinued products one as there must be something you can share there! =P

Discontinued Products! Which Do You Miss?

I bought a pack of Starburst the other day. The fruit chew kind. They’re currently £1.00 for a big bag in Tesco! So, if you like them, I suggest you get down there! But anyway, this got me thinking about products that I’ve enjoyed that we no longer see on the shelves. The one I miss the most….Starburst Joosters! They were the tastiest sweets ever!! There are numerous Facebook groups to bring them back, but so far nothing has surfaced. Apparently, you can get them from Disney Land in Florida and they are now called Starburst Original Jellybeans. Release them in the UK, please!Another of my faves was the Peanut Lion Bar. It was great! If you love peanuts, which I do, (Reece’s Cups, Reece’s Pieces, Reece’s Nutrageous Bar) then the Peanut Lion Bar was great. It was so smooth tasting! The Nutrageous Bar is a worthy alternative but it shall never beat the Peanut Lion Bar!! It seems it may be available in Eastern Europe somewhere, but that’s no good! On Tesco Longton’s shelves ASAP please!

What products do you guys miss?

There must be something.

Let me know via comment! :D
