So my Mum, sis and I were watching Gossip Girl (don't judge)
Scene: Dan, Lily and Rufus are at home talking over breakfast.
Mum: WOW, he's REALLY starting to look old!...
Me: Who? - Dan??
Mum: NO! The son!!!
Me: ...Dan IS the son. -_-
*laughter ensues*
Most conversations with my mother are of this nature...and by 'nature' I mean lacking any sense whatsoever. I should also note that we're all watched the show since it started.

noise making horse toys that function despite being decapitated
Cat lovers and owners, I'd like to ask you a question.
Is it normal to collect/keep your cat's whiskers after they have fallen out?
I ask this as while I was at the Salvos today I was talking to a friend who does this. (and thinks it is perfectly normal to do so) Maybe, as someone who does not own a cat, I am just uniformed on this matter, however it struck me as pretty odd.
She was also telling me how her soon to be mother-in-law is an EXCELLENT gift giver - recent gifts to her son include a box of 'magic tricks', a toy dinosaur egg (or that's what it looked like at least) and coloured pencils. (he is 26 or somewhere there abouts) I found this amusing. We also bonded over our mutual distaste for Supre.
In other news, I picked up some reservations from the library this morning. I was particularly looking forward to the Beatles Yellow Submarine CD. After lunch I open the case to find NO DISC. It was just plain cruel. I'm thinking it could be a conspiracy because it was isn't a legit CD case (one that appeared as you would purchase it from the store) it just had what I now realise to be a PICTURE of the disc as the front cover - VERY SUSPICIOUS (initially I assumed it was just a clear case and you could see the disc through it)
So I wonder, plot of former borrower to steal the original Beatles CD (finding an empty case and scanning a picture of the CD to slide into the front to go unoticed)? Or simple mistake of forgetting to put the disc back in the case prior to returning it? If not for the library stickers/barcode I would be sure it was the former. Now I must go back on Monday, hopefully they will not suspect I am the fiend who misplaced the disc!

Memorable moments.
Yesterday I ate a kebab.
Did I think this kebab was excellent? Indeed I did.
Was I pleased? Very.
Was it the highlight of my week?Definitely Of course not, my life is far too exciting.
A large falafel kebab with lettuce, tomato and tabouli.
I like how at this place they toasted the kebab after assembling it. This made the pita bread nice and crisp and prevented it from falling apart. Also, it was not dry at all, however the sauce did not accumulate at the bottom of the kebab, making if soggy. (as opposed to usual)
I will stop talking about thisglorious kebab now. (I need to get a life)

I ain't raisin no babies.
So my sister has gone out with some friends today. We were leaving the house (so she could go catch the bus and so we could do some grocery shopping) as we start to walk down the street, my mother says something to my sister along the lines of 'Can't you wear something more decent?! Can you change into something else, so your boobs aren't hanging out everywhere?!'
...OK, so my sister was wearing black tight high waisted shorts with tights (shorts are quite short, but the tights make them better) and a black tight racerback singlet. (neckline was borderline acceptable, but as mother said 'it looks like it'll keep slipping down all day') So with grunts and noises of complaint we head back to the house (we're still on our street) and she changes (admittedly she looks A LOT nicer in the casual button up shirt she replaced the singlet with). My sis had made complaints (was quite moody after this as is often the case when my Mum complains about the way she dresses) and at one point my mother said something like 'well I'm sorry I don't want my daughter going out dressed like a hooker'.
*le sigh*
Lately I have started to wear dresses and shorts (SCREW IT, you must now be exposed to my stretch mark-ridden, less than firm, pasty white thighs - excuse the graphic description) However, when I wear said dresses, before I leave the house my Mum always says 'I hope you're wearing shorts under that'. Personally, I would wear shorts even if she didn't care, I really don't mind, saves me from having to be too cautious...up until today I never thought she was really serious, but now I'm not so sure.
Every time one of us does something with guy friends, or wears a top with a semi-low neckline (and you guys know I don't parade my [lack of] goodies around) she will look at us and say 'remember, I ain't raisin no babies'. For those of you unfamiliar to the show 'Everybody hates Chris' this is one of recurring lines of Rochelle (Chris's crazy mother), that my Mother has adopted into her vocabulary. (I wanted to find a clip of this, but I fail at youtube)
I mean, personally I'm not too affected by this (as compared to my sis) so I'm not really bothered. But it raises the question, are anyone else's parents like this?

first world problems.
Was totes disappointed that we couldn't get reception for the new ep of Modern Family and New Girl. My life is over lol jk I'll just have to try watch it online. Life is so hard.
Alas, do not fear, my night was not completely entertainment-less as we watched Back to the Future II. 80s movies are the best, so full of character, entertaining storylines, less formulaic (or it at least seems that way) than modern flicks. It also gave me valuable insight into what the year 2015 may be like (within the next few years everyone will be driving hover crafts and WOW the fashion/style/trends are going to change dramatically!)I cannot wait. I pretty much don't think I could dislike anything starring Michael J Fox.
Enough excitement for one day, I'm off to slumber (cannot believe I was regularly doing uni work til 3am during semester, considering the past couple of weeks I've been getting drowsy by 8:30 - what is this?!?! CAN I ATTRIBUTE IT TO THE WEATHER?!?! Or am I just aging very prematurely?)

let's see how long I can keep this up for.
Yo homies, I will begin blogging once I have something (moderately) interesting to say. To give you a little of taste of what may be to come, I finished a dinner of leftover blackbean tofu/noodles with salad about 0.5 hours ago (RIVETING stuff!). I spent most of my day reading (IT by Stephen King - I've surpassed 800 pages and shiz is about to get INTENSE) and shortly I will watch Back to the Future with my family. (I bet you'll all be coming back for more with that AMAZING preview into my life!)
Peace out.
