late? again? ALSO: DUCKS!

Posted on July 21, 2011 by Andie|

ok, so i’m not going to try and kid anyone into thinking i’ve been up all night. i just woke up, i know i should have blogged before i went to sleep, but i was having this whole existential crisis thing and it just got put on the back burner for  a bit.

Anyhow, i had planned another photo post, seeing as the lake just round the lane from my work has babyducks and babycoots and stuffs. stopped by yesterday (CAST AS TODAY) and took some photos.

Exercise? WTF?

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Andie|

so.. for those who don’t know what i look like, i’m a little overweight… well according to my doctor obese, but i have much distaste for the BMI scale that i’m not going to go in to right now.

i know i’d be healthier if i lost weight, the problem however is that i like eating and don’t like exercising.. show me a form of exercise that is enjoyable rather than painful and i’ll show you a calorific food that everyone hates.

i did 10 minutes on the exercise bike tonight, mostly to apease my mother, but additionally to make my legs ache and my throat hurt, ok, so those weren’t my intentions, but they were still the end results.

i know i’m not alone in my distaste for exercise. i just wish i could work out how to enjoy it better.

oneaday day #8 – ikea

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Andie|

So hands up who loves Ikea, i know i do, to the extent where i will just go to Ikea for a wander if i’m in its locale. Don’t get me wrong, i am aware ikea is selling furniture for college kids and divorced men. (c/o Jonathan Coulton)

That said, i love their tables, cheap chairs, silly storage solutions that are completely impractical for anyone who cannot drill lots of holes in their walls, their TV units that only fit certain TVs, their chairs that…. well, i’d say they’re uncomfortable for anyone of average weight, but actually, they’re uncomfortable for everyone, aren’t they?

My favourite part of ikea is the kids section, i have a wooden train set and bowls and glasses from there. also a lil stuffed toy who is called rawr and lives on my desk.

in conclusion though, i’m sorry i said ikea sucks….

apprentices

Posted on July 17, 2011 by Andie|

So i’ve been watching the apprentice this year, I do enjoy it, not from a business perspective, or anything like that. just because it’s silly, reality TV and really shouldn’t be taken any other way.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not exactly “the only way is essex” territory, but take it at face value and it’s really all a big show, the keeping in of ‘annoying’ people (remember Stuart Baggs) the subtle cultivation then ignoration of relationships between contestants, the pulling people up against people that the know they won’t get on with. Actually thinking about that it’s like a mega version of Wife Swap.

Incidentally I used to love Wife Swap, but then they had that annoying one with that Lizzie lady or something? That put me off the whole idea.

Anyhow, i’ll continue watching The Apprentice You’re Hired. Night guys and gals.

donkeys, they have the best ears in the world…

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Andie|

I have always been an aficionado of fluffeh things. Kittens, hamsters, llamas, guinea pics etc. I find however that an oft forgetten category of fluffeh is Donkeys.

Donkeys have the best ears in the world, they turn like all the way around… not like a cat’s ears that just kinda flinch… proper rotation action…. In addition to the awesome ear thing… donkeys just don’t give a shit.. you poke a donkey…it’ll glare at you for 30 seconds then go back to eating grass… let’s face it, if donkeys drove instead of people… there really would be no road rage.

I once went to the donkey sanctury in Sidmouth. It were ace. I recommend it. Donkeys are the SHIT. :-D

Addictive gaming news.

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Andie|

i was all set up to write a lengthy article about how rubbish geese are tonight, but then i crawled into bed and it was comfy and i forgot and there was carcassonne (on iPhone!) and stuff and it all seemed to get rather ahead of me so naps seemend appropriate.

Anyhow, back to point. I (heart) iPhone games, they’re probably one of the best reasons as to why I will be getting an iPhone 4/4G/4Gs/5/whatever at the next launch date, some of my favourites include…

Carcassonne: The awesome board game converted to iPhone… yes please!

Words With Friends: C’mon… you love it really… ps, if you want to play me my username is nnubeh. :P

Hanging With Friends: Despite the morbid concept, rather enjoyable.

Tiny Tower: I can’t really work out why I keep playing  this, but it’s still enjoyable and stuffs so I shall keep going.

Facebook: what? that’s not a game? really?

Plants Vs. Zombies: I totally heart this game, not sure why, but i’ve played it through like at least 5-6 times.

 

That’s all I can think of for now, blame the sleepytiredness.

Someone at work called me Pickle today, i like that. So goodnight Pickles.

so, more about lego eh?

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Andie|

so, i guess in supplement to yesterday’s post. i thought i’d let y’all know how much i really do like lego.

i read some while back a statistic that said that kids who play with lego are more likely to go into engineering or IT and generally have higher IQ levels, i can’t vouch for the validity of that but it seems like something that would be true.

i mean, should I ever be unfortunate enough to procreate i would really want a kid whose first toy love (after blocks and putting shapes into holes and shit) was mechano, or lego even kinnex would be acceptable.

So I guess what i’m trying to say is… What’s a normal. amount of lego for a 26 year old lady (ok, i’m not that much of a lady, but give me some artistic license) to have? i’m sure i have more, so nyah, my lego collection OWNZ you other 26 year old ladies. :-)
