Head Lists


I need a way to manage my head lists.

All day I add things to different lists I have in my head and I would love an easy way to add/delete/order/display these lists.

Here are items which I added to my lists today/lately.


Things which annoy me

- Guys (mostly 17-30) who wear thongs in the city/mall. I hate the stupid sound thongs make as they slap against the back of their feet and the god awful walk that is the result of wearing thongs. Your walk automatically becomes 5x shitter when you put on thongs.

- Round black lensed glasses. I have seen 2 guys in town wearing these and both times they looked terrible.


- Any fruit which requires you to spit out the seed

- Super Walls/Fun Walls on facebook. They are ugly, cluttering, inane and if you have one you are guaranteed to get messages/images analogous to horrible email forwards.

- Any tv show with single character narration especially when an "echo" is added to said narration for "realism". Shows which come to mind are Scrubs, Sex in The City, Grey's Fucking Anatomy which also gets the prize for worst named tv show ever, ever. Single character narration should have ended with "The Wonder Years".


Things I like

- The word analogous

- The excellent formatting of tv shows: S00E00 (S01E12)

- $5 Fruit Salad Tubs (when they don't contain fruit with seeds)

- The sound Azureus makes when a download has finished

- JavaScript

- Over using the forward slash in blog posts/IM conversations.

- Listening to callers on talkback radio talk about trivial things which make them happy.



Words that have appeared a lot in DIGG lately

- Waterboarding
- Ron Paul

Only place 17-30 y/o males can get away with thongs is around the house or the beach. Definitely with you on that. Though, if I was the dude, I'd rather thongs and a 5x worse walk than sweaty, smelly feet... =)


Hehe, love your use of the name "Grey's Anatomy". Made me laugh.

Dude, when you said "thong" i thought you meant as in underwear!...i was thinking "what? 17-30 year old GUYS wearing thongs??!". Over here we just call those "thong" footwear sandals or flip flops!

That geek picture is cool too haha...the Apple Geek reminds me of one of my lecturers at college.

Haha, are you sure, Craig? I also understand thong as "underwear", but the footwear comes to mind first. I've been "over here" for 24 years now... ;)



Don't ask Matthias though. He'll pull the "jandal" on ya! Hahaha

Craig: :) Yeah we also call them flip flops and well sandals to a certain extent although over here that usually implies more top covering, more than just a tiny piece of rubber anyway.

Yeah that 54 geeks thing rules! Haha, you should show your lecturer that someone drew a cartoon of him.

Hey,

Thanks for the comment. Sorry you didn't hear sooner, I sent an email to you but must have sent it to an old email address of yours. Keep a look out for parts 2 and 3 soon.....
