i didnt know they had costco in Britain

Is Costco American? Most things we have here are American now, like Burger King and Starbucks and Skoolmunkee. We have Walmart too but they call it Asda here, because Walmart sounds like a place where you buy walls, or walm art…which would be sculptures made from elephant dung…or I dunno.

i get a holiday on monday! hooray for federal holidays! i don't know what i'd do without them.

blech, i woke up to go pee, 3 minutes before my alarm was scheduled to go off. if there's anything in this world that i truly hate, it's waking up just a few minutes before my alarm.

you know? because you realize how soon it is, and you have two options, go ahead and stay up, or just lay down until the buzzer sounds….neither of which involve sleeping (my favorite activity).

I would have thought buying massive amounts of food in a warehouse setting was about as American as you can get. Not to mention the £1.50 hotdogs.

I spent way too much there today, but I can't pass up 2kg bags of premium atlantic prawns, 20-packs of chicken breast, aberdeen angus beef, and inexpensive hard-anodised aluminum cookware. Let alone all the other stuff I bought. After a costco trip I always consider buying a separate freezer. I just have nowhere to put one.



Craaaaaap I forgot to do the newspost! Well, I'm starving, it will have to wait til after belated lunch. T_T

Bk hamburgers are the biggest from the fast food chains here, i can barely get half-way through a whopper and they have even bigger ones on the menu@_@. That's why i like wendys and in-and-out burgers, small and yummy.

Back when I was an art student, I'd buy a hamburger for lunch every day from Hungry Jacks (Aussie Burger King). I really fancied one of the girls behind the counter… But I was too shy to ask her out. :(

Then I stopped eating burgers every day because they were fricken disgusting and stared eating apples instead. >:|

——————————–

Speaking of eating, my cat is addicted to cream now. I've got some left over and thought he might like some. Turns out he LOVES it, better than milk!
He's such a picky little carnivore that it's always amazing when I find that he actually has a real taste for something.

That's not true :P

It depends on the cat and probably the milk if truth be told. But as a statement it's no more true than the old idea that they all love milk: it's a generalisation based on instances where it was true, but it's not a universally consistent fact.

-The first cat I ever had would puke if she drank milk. But not other milk products

-A few years later on with later cats, some would puke, some wouldn't… But the ones that puked only did it with milk and no other dairy product

-Still later, not one single one would puke, even cats who would formally years ago. All liked dairy products of all sorts and none had any stomach trouble what so ever.

And that's been the same ever since. SO… was it the cats, or the milk?
I have a suspicion that it was the milk, or at least the type of processing used on it. But I don't know.

It's a mystery, but cream makes a nice treat for him :)

The more fat in milk, the less lactose. so cream is better than milk (and skim milk would be worst?). I don't think cheese is a problem because things have been done to it, dunno about yogurts. OK, not all cats are lactose-intolerant, but a large percentage are. I'm just sayin', it's safer to assume it's NOT ok to feed something than to assume it is.

your cat spends most of the time outside anyway, how do you know he's not throwing up or having runny poops outside huh huuuuuuuuuuh

He wouldn't notice because he only has eyes for the girl at the fruit stall who sells him his apples every day.

Come on Ozone, ask the girl out; what's the worst that could happen? Don't spend your old age beautifully dressed and nobody to straighten your collar.:(

Burger type sandwiches… I prefer to grill mine. They're not soaked in cheap greasy oil and I can put whatever toppings I want and not worry what's in them (because I'll know what's in them. Any one know what's inside the Big Mac's special sauce?). Of course, too many burgers would be bad for you…

They blocked DD at my school! I swear a few days ago I could go on it just fine. Now it's blocked under “games” of all things.
Now what the heck will I do in Digital Multimedia? ;)

Weird! Sometimes things at our school are blocked for “humour”.
No laughing at school, kids!

And then there was the time I couldn't get to the lyrics of Happiness is a Warm Gun(for a school project) because it was blocked under “weapons”. Think I managed to get past that one though.

The funny thing about those blockers is that I've seen students spend just as much time trying to get past it onto the site as they would have spent on the site had it not been blocked.

Oh don't tell me you're one of those who can't tell the difference. It's simple.

Austria.

One day you'll go to school and find every site on the internet blocked, and only the webpages at your school will be accessible… Of course, when that happens someone up in the office ranks of your school has issues…

I don't doubt it! Seems they're always blocking more sites for more reasons. And really, students always find a way to play Tetris on the school computers. Blocking every single site would probably be the only solution.

@ This whole silly things my school blocks conversation.

My school was a k-12, and one day some 5th graders accidently came across some porn on the interwebs, so over the weekend the school installed this freakishly sensitive barracuda blocker.

It blocked google for a whole week because those kids found the porn via google image search.

Fun times!

One time a friend of mine was doing a book report on Lolita, but the school blocked searching for the word lolita. Also I discovered when wanting to reference a swastika for a school assignment, that they block searching for swastikas. Luckily DD is still not blocked at my school. Good thing they know what is important!

It's like how you do a bio project and “anus” is blocked. On images too… :( (:P)

I am almost done reading another book, Go Ask Alice, and it's okay. I believe that somethings were either added or changed though, cause it doesn't always seem to be true. :(

Gonna read Cirque Du Freak:The Vampire's Assistant next just to make my sister shut the hell up.

Has anyone else noticed that the new WiiFit Plus commercial uses the same public domain music that the Zoo Books commerical with the FREE TIGER POSTER used for, like, 12 years?

It both confuses and bothers me. >>;

And, yeah, congrats 1337~
