Hook up the cola, d00d

2009-06-17T09:47:05-06:00

Remember when you were a kid and you asked for a drink, and your mum would be like 'JUST HAVE SOME WATER'? As if I want water, Mum, I'm not being funny. Anyway, whenever my mum said this to me, I'd WISH WISH WISH for, like, coke to be coming out of the tap.

So yeah, if you're asking, then I think the next thing that should be piped into my home is coca cola in the taps. But maybe not Coca Cola now that I'm a bit older, maybe Diet Coke or perhaps some sort of weird fruit-based 'ade' (cherryade, strawberryade, blueberryade). I am actually totally missing a huge trick here. I'd have BEER pumped into my house. Dickhead.

Other than liquid, I think I'd give this wireless electricity a go.

Manchester Piccadilly - freak spotting

2009-06-07T10:23:07-06:00

Train station, innit? I mean, Manchester is totally full of freaks at the best of times, but this place is FREAK INTERCHANGE, especially on a Friday night / Saturday morning.
I've never really seen any drama go down in there, though. No one getting arrested or fighting or anything like that. Am I going down there at the wrong times?
It used to be quite exciting a couple of years back when you stood at platform 13 (North Wales bound) looking down onto where the Star & Garter is and there was loads of prostitutes hanging around. But then I think they got a little scared off because they started building some halls of residence, then they opened a really nice hotel and generally scared everyone off.
The hotel (this one) is all dark glass. I think I'd quite like a job cleaning a couple of the windows now and again.

whoops.

I just answered this and put in a bit about Jade Goody, then Plinky said there had been an error, and deleted my post.
I can't help but think this is fate, and that I possibly shouldn't have mentioned her name. Forgot it was her funeral today, oops!

Don't sit me next to either of these meffs

2009-04-04T09:44:08-06:00

Why are these the only 2 choices? If there was the choice of 'weirdo who falls asleep a bit on your shoulder' I would have gone for that.
I have a serious problem with listening to peoples conversations. They're always so inane, unless they're teenage girls who have INSANE conversations, always really amazing. I don't get to hang around with teenage girls often enough. Anyway.
Yeah, the quiet starer would have to be the one for me, because then I could say 'what the fuck are YOU staring at??', then they'd hopefully stop. If they didn't, I'd probably get up and sit behind them.
Irritating talker... oh boy, totally my hugest pet peeve. There was a woman on the train yesterday who was boring her co worker to death. I presume it was her co worker, because there is no way these 2 people could have possibly been anything but polar opposites outside of work. And I don't care what anyone says, opposites don't attract, they piss each other off and rub each other up the wrong way. Figuratively speaking.
So this woman was hideous. She would not shut up. I don't even think she took breaths between conversation topics, and JESUS CHRIST THEY WERE ALL RUBBISH. She digressed more than I do and she had a massive head, but with a tiny forehead, which just riled me even more. She did that annoying thing where she commented on everything she could see around her, then turned it into a new topic of (one-sided) conversation.
There was a point when she was blethering on to this guy about some woman's hair being bleached so much that it was 'SORT OF GOING IN AT THE BACK OF HER HEAD, LIKE THIS... SHE'S FIXED IT NOW THOUGH.'
The guy looked about ready to derail the train. Bad. I'll take the starer. If he's hot.

I wish I could get a triple scart on the back of the telly

2009-04-04T09:31:38-06:00

Seriously, it drives me insane pissing around with scart leads. What my TV really needs is THREE HOLES for scarts so I can easily switch between TV, Wii and Playstation.
I know what you're thinking... what sort of girl needs 2 games consoles? Me. I'm obsessed with them. It's a good job DS doesn't require scart, otherwise I would be pure fuming.

My ideal Super Bowl halftime show would include Janet Jackson

2009-04-04T09:27:58-06:00

Janet Jackson
Yeah, Bruce Springsteen is never going to win over this. Janet and her nipple. I couldn't see the problem with it, myself, but then I'm not a total prude. Nice one, USA, you bunch of squares. If Jan wants to frame her nipple in a beautiful metal sun design, then I think she should be able to do so with pride. It's just a nipple, what's the problem????

Watch "twins" next time you're home sick

My favourite line from a film

2009-04-04T09:14:39-06:00

I was torn between this and 'put your foot down' from Terminator 2. Love that shit.

Tonight, tonight, tonight is your night, bro... YEAH, you're gonna do it!

Zombies - what to do when they arrive.

2009-04-04T08:56:48-06:00

I think I've watched enough zombie movies to know what to do and what not to do when they finally arrive.
I am definitely taking the stance of MIlla Jovovich in my favourite film, Resident Evil; sexy and hard as fook. There's no zombie-messing with Milla (character name: ALICE), she just goes straight in, boots a-blazing. Her only problem is with HUMANS, who are always getting her down (not Eric Mabius, though), like her HUSBAND, SPENCE! And those guys who take Matt off to the Nemesis Project.
I think I've totally outed myself as a huge fan of the Resident Evil films. Well, guess what? I am. Anything with zombies in. They're going to come, you know - I'll be well prepared when they do. Got myself a nice YSL dress and shiny leather boots to sort them out with. Alternatively, I could be like Frank West, a total fag with a camera taking pictures of womens boobs for points.

Why I gave up on

2009-04-04T08:44:39-06:00

I stopped because it was shit. Actual dogshit. A friend (NINA) gave it to me to read while I was in hospital. I got about 30 pages through it before I had to put it down. Mind numbing CRAP. Don't bother reading it. I started watching the film because I thought that could condense it and I'd get to find out the ending, but that was even worse. They got all the characters wrong. Meryl Streep should have played a coldhearted English woman.
Stupid book.

Flying cars are a bad idea.

2009-04-04T08:37:12-06:00

I just don't really get this. Why would you want a flying car? It would have to be the most sturdy machine around... might as well use a helicopter, it's basically the same thing, or even the old classic; THE AEROPLANE. We have this to fly, we don't need to be messing around flying cars, it would be pandemonium. You can't draw lines in the sky and expect cars to keep in their path. And they'd be getting in the way of birds and aeroplanes and helicopters. And what if they all started to drop out of the sky? Loads of car crashes happen everyday, it would be chaos.
No, sorry, I'm not buying it.
