^ I just ate porridge... And i put chocolate chips in it, LOL errmm, not the most amazing thing but good nonetheless... Too sweet for my liking...
 
^ooooh that sounds good!!

Man, I am so tired and my coffee was strong but I guess not strong enough!
I could zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz on you all at any moment and I just woke up!!!!

oh and I did more cheese last night! :)
More of the Dubliner, some spreadable Black Diamond Aged white Cheddar, some pickles, crackers and carrots with ranch. Tasty tasty!!
 
^^Sounds delicious. I love good cheese, although I usually stick to the big discount blocks.
 
^Live like peasants, Dine like Kings!! ;)



Just ate some goats cheese with these Crackers...the cheese obsession continues...:)

Pissed off by the unbelievable tackiness of the Qld flood coverage here.

The names of those who died were released yesterday so every network showed a montage of pictures of those people. One network chose Overcome by Live as background music. These are the lyrics to the chorus they played :

I am overcome
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs
Holy water, holy water
I am overcome

Beautiful drowning
This beautiful drowning
This holy water
This holy water, is in my lungs
And I am overcome
I am overcome, yeah
Heh, i, heh, i, heh, I am overcome
I am overcome lord
 
^Thats awful, tactless too -bloody Media will romanticise anything they can for ratings. 8):(
 
Bacon + goat cheese burgers are my favorite.

And yeah that is a shockingly bad choice of a song...
 
Tacky, sentimental, whatever. It is quite possibly the worst poetry that I've ever read. I wrote better stuff than that in grade four. It reads like something that an overworked technical intern threw together two minutes before it was being recorded.

Not to belittle the horrible damage caused by the flooding, but I just can't get over that poem. Ugh.
 
I'll never forget when katrina hit and I would hear people with their songs about how god was judging america for its sinful ways etc etc ...

made me think of some pretty sinful things to do to those fucking idiots.

welcome to fucking global warming 101 - read a fucking chapter. The earth is always changing.
 
lol who cares about what fuckwit news channels do. Of course they're going to use this to their advantages and pull all the sob stories out, and ask people blatantly obvious questions like "So how did you feel when seeing your entire family get swept away by an 8m floodwave? Devastating i imagine?"

....

Just dont watch tv. I don't want to see that crap. I avoid news on this flood. Pretty obvious what's happening anyway.
 
I also need to stop reading the news :| I am starting to get really adversely affected. Problem is that I am a bit of a news junkie and always have been.

If I see the mugshot of that creepy lunatic who shot the Arizona congresswoman one more time I think I may finally throw up.

My <3 goes out to all of you in Aus, especially those who were affected... but whomever chose that song for a news segment on massive flooding needs to be sacked. Yikes :(
 
^ OMFG the mugshot of that dude was in a newspaper i was reading the other week! Man... He looked fucking psycho...

I just cant believe everywhere is flooding. Like, everywhere. A country town 5 minutes from my mum's country house has flooded. Mental. (Her house is chill).

i notice this shit too, marketing and advertising is endlessly interesting to me, but plain evil. watching it, whats noticed mostly are things like manipulating out a shocking/riveting story from a traumatized person/subject; the targeting of commercials; aiming at people overwhelmed, or lonely, impulsive, wanting a need, or something to come along and "change your life", or promise essentially money, sex, or the easiest way to do anything; even if its to entertain and educate your children, w/o even having to try!!
the last time i turned on the tv for myself was several months ago, hoping to find a movie, then it went off. the longest i went w/o watching television was around 3 years i think.
