Watching Television: Things That Annoy Me As I Watch


Started 7:06PM - Friends / TEN

7:08 - Wizard Home Loans Ad: Guy pronounced "because" as "becores".
7:18 - Australian Idol Promo Ad: Annoying "Can you feel it?" song sung by annoying people, one contestant does that head side-to-side diva move.
7:28 - Tony Fergusson Ad: Girl lying on the couch raises her eyebrows way too much.
7:29 - Star Wars Phantom Menace Promo Ad: Guy narrating the ad sounds like a violent psychopath. Deep voice, weird inflections.
7:37 - So You Think You Can Dance: One of the dancers is named Thayne.
7:48 - Rush Promo Ad: Looks like a really shit Australian cop show. No surprises there.
8:24 - Mamma Mia! The Movie - They refer to it as an unmissable movie experience. The movie looks terrible.
8:28 - So You Think You Can Dance - Getting real antsy. Wanting to do something productive instead of watch tv.
8:37 - Origin Energy - Heart-warming acoustic song gettng on my nerves.
8:49 - So You Think You Can Dance - Celine Dion's voice in a song.. ughhhh. Her accent comes through pretty thick and it is annoying.
9:16 - Libra Tampons Ad - The girl does her best "rock chick" impression as she poses up a storm. The distortion in the guitar riff sounds like something that would come out of a cheap amplifier. Shapes fly in the background. why? Annoying rock chick does not = strong, independent woman.

9:56 - Cunningham Warehouse Ad - The "Cunno's" bit at the end really unsettles me.
10:08 - Still in work clothes, feeling uncomfortable. Got changed and charged laptop.

Finished 10:27PM - Watching the Olympic Ceremony


Sometimes a Facebook status message just isn't enough


So I finally found my missing Nike sock, it was wrapped up in a sock ball with another non-matching Nike sock.
I was excited to find it and then put it on and remembered that they are slightly too small for my feet and angle down at the back.

Apricot Delight is such a great name for the delicious treat. I experience delight every time I eat one of those heaven-sent rectangles of pure bliss.

I hate Nando's. Last night I paid $15 for a crappy burger, fries and bottle of water.
The burger was shit, the stupid peri-peri gimmicky sauce dripped all over my hands, the gourmet lettuce stuck way out of the burger, the bun was hard as tits, the hot sauce was ugghh. Never again. I hate getting burned but when it happens I always hear my Dad saying to me, "Well, as long as you learn something from this, that is the main thing". I have learned to never ever set foot in a Nando's again.


Different Moods and the effect they have on things

Shopping

Mood: Hungry
- Will buy way more then I need, will buy all the delicious snacks I see. Impulsive.

Mood: Normal
- Will only buy what I need. Buy items on special. Good impulse control.

Mood: Tired/Cranky
- Will annoy Sara. Will buy slightly more food than normal. Will buy a V energy drink.


I had lots of dreams last night. Dreams have to be one of the most boring things to listen to. I wish that I had the same dream on a certain day every year. That would be cool.

Right now I am looking around the room and here are things that are in my line of sight.

- Pen or Pin?
- Your bill has been delayed
- InkSaver 2.0
- Work out what folders on my PC need to be backed up
- Giving a yr 7 a wedgie! + being late for class on Friday lunch (a detention I got in yr 8)
- Family Medical Practitioner
