My Favorite Things - Part 3

This time there is a sort of theme going on. Food/Confectionary.


Fish and Chips - classic fingerfood. I'm a big fan of the flake and chips. With the added potato cake..or 2,3..depending. Course the quality varies like all takeaway foods. You get some really nice stuff down by the beach.


Betty Crocker Choc chip cookies - the best version of cookies to bake from a box. They're chunky, not dry and brittle, and break your teeth when you try to eat them.


Curly Wurly - a very retro chocolate covered caramel twist thing. Used to be very cheap..but now is close to $1.



Berri Orange Juice - I am very picky when it comes to OJ. My sister and I have decided that the Berri one is the best. no pulp, no added sugar. Great for a sore throat, or to revive you during a cold.


Bertie Beetles - Like the curly wurly, used to be cheap and is a big chocoholic fave. Dark choc with little pieces of violet crumble. Course the ones that you find in stores nowadays aren't the same, and often are not even dark choc. But I guess something is better than nothing.


Dark Choc and Raspberry TimTams - A fancy version of the good old aussie fave chocolate biscuit. Just like a regular choc timtam but with a raspberry center.

Bored Now

I have found it amazing how much time one can waste at uni on the internet. Today I have an hour and a half to kill till my tute, and almost halfway through my break, I have already run out of the usual things to do, and have had to find new things to entertain my time with.

-don't say, uniwork. I'm doing a bit of that...but my brain is far too dead for that now anyhoo. I haven't had my coffee yet.

So far today, I have read and posted on the imdb messageboard for Wicked. Looked up all the tv talk shows I watch to see if anyone I like is on this week. -I have also copied all the links so I can keep track in the future. I have read the lastest imdb news, researched last years emmys and compared a few catagories to this years emmys, done a Pushing Daisies quiz, updated my comment on facebook, checked and written emails, read articles about certain tv personalities, and other random info.

I'm too tired to come up with another 'Favorite Things' post today, maybe tomorrow. Plus I'm starting to run out of ideas. Maybe I should just do one every month or every few weeks or something.


However....because the desks for the computers here are so damm high, my fingers are getting very cold and losing circulation a little...which is bad.

My Favourite Things Part 2

Here are a few more of my fave things. (I started this last week, took me a little while to finish it. lol)


RENT Movie soundtrack - I'm obsessed with the film version of RENT (the only version I've ever seen). Since I'm currently banning myself from listening to the OBC recording of Wicked, I need another musical fix.....what I'll listen to when I ban myself from RENT I have no idea. I don't know why they would even make a selections soundtrack...I love all the songs and it wouldn't be right only having half of them.



Sony 2GB Micro Vault Flashdrive - With the extinction of floppy disks and later versions. I'm so glad that they finally made decent sized USB drives. Back near the start of the year I bought a new USB, my old one didn't hold much content and with my YouTube obession (particularly saving vids) I needed something that could move more stuff between my laptop and the family PC. I love my sony usb not only cause I can put at least 5 eps of tv on it (no more burning rewritable dvds just to watch 1 ep of something) and put a whole load of other media on there and it compresses it to make more space. Plus they're very cheap for what they do, and seem to be made to hold more, while also getting cheaper.



Starbucks Cafe Mocha - Keeps me going through my days at Uni. My mum bought me a Starbucks card for Christmas, which I went through rather quickly. Instead of buying food during my 2-2.5 hour breaks at Uni, I just get a Tall Mocha which keeps my stomach from whinging, and saves me a bit of money, cause with an 8:30 Friday morning start, by midday my mind is so dead I need coffee to wake me up.



IMDB.com - what would I do without IMDB.com?! Since I have WAY too many different shows and movies that I watch...I of course start to recognise people and then have to wonder where I know them from. IMDB is my saviour....
Its also got plenty of news and updates on what certain people are up to, which is mighty handy.



Pushing Daisies - I admit it, I'm totally addicted to Pushing Daisies. For some unknown reason in all the drama over the last year with tv shows, I'd forgotten about checking it out. Finally in July I got around to seeing all the eps and have now watched them multiple times. Its just so entertaining and different from anything else. Its musical, a little scary, silly, hilarious, and totally crazy all at the same time. Can't wait for October to bring around season 2!




Smiggle Mini Stapler, Staples and Highlighter set - I love Smiggle stuff, it's handy, compact, colorful and easy to take with you. I find this mini stapler very handy to take to uni if I need to hand in assignments and I haven't stapled it together yet. Plus I love jazzing it up a little with pink metallic staples. I am a big supporter of the color pink.

My Favourite Things - Part 1

I copied this idea from Chad Darnell's blog....I thought it was something interesting to do.



Dove Pro-Age Shampoo and Conditioner - I have very very fine hair and even though my body is young, all the chemicals over the years have made it kinda old. So I have a very hard time giving my hair any volume. I've found this stuff works wonders and also leaves my hair pretty soft too.




Shea Bodybutter from The Body Shop - My friend got me into bodybutter, and I decided on the Shea nut variety. It has a nice, but not overpowering scent and leaves my hands feeling nice and soft, instead of dry, cracked and sore.



Extra Professional Mints - I used to be a TicTacs fan (Spearmint only) but I started to get really sore teeth while I was at work cause I'd taken too many. I gave Extra Professional Mints (pepermint) a try and was hooked! I also love that they come in a recycleable tin.



Arnotts Malt-o-milk biscuits - I've had a cold for the last week and these biscuits are one of the few things that hasn't hurt my cold! -Especially nice to eat with orange juice!



Chemists Own Dry Cough medicine - A miracle elixer! This damm cold I've got has resulted in me coughing like crazy for the last few days, and Friday night I got barely any sleep at all from not being able to stop coughing. Saturday night (and every night since) I have gotten a decent sleep thanks to my yellow medicine!




Vicks Liquid Centre Vapodrops - Thank god for vapodrops. I wouldn't have gotten through my lectures without coughing non-stop without them. Makes having a cold just a little bit easier.
