The poshest bottled water ever
Katy and I went shopping at Waitrose on monday night and I came across this:
I just had to get it (but it was only 99p so that's ok). It's Glenlivet bottled water.
From the website: Welcome to Speyside Glenlivet, where we are pleased to share with you some of the fascinating history, background and detail of this very special Scottish Natural Mineral Water. Its unique and natural blend of minerals provides the essence of Speyside Glenlivet's special appeal. Even the most delicate flavours of what you eat and drink are enhanced when they are accompanied by its cool, clean and pure taste. The outstanding quality of this water was the reason why the first whisky distilleries were founded nearby over 200 years ago.
Yes of course this is hello?
Saw this in userpicks. I confess that I couldn't stop watching it and was almost late for work.
I'm weird.
Random blurbs
– What does it say about my LJ habits that I need to browse between 60 and 80 posts a day to keep up with my full friend list?
– Katy and I are going to see a pet-friendly 3-bedroom house in Hinxton tomorrow that we can potentially rent for the same price as our 1-bedroom flat in cambridge.
– I seriously want me one of those: http://www.trek-tech.com/products/
– This picture cracked me up this morning:
– I wrote to two siberian cat breeders in the UK to see when they will have kittens available.
– I'm feeling very bleh today. I don't really know why.
I want me one of those!
Your friends will wonder in which direction your life philosophy has wandered when they see this hand-carved knife block, a prototype by Irene van Gestel of De Meubelmaat, a design group in the Netherlands. This gal must certainly possess a macabre sense of humor. Perhaps this knife caddie, chiseled out of a block of solid limewood, would be an ideal accessory in Cellblock B at Sing-Sing, where those who are looking for an appropriate place to store knives might be inclined to use their bunkmates heads.
March of the penguins
We went to see March of the Penguins last night. It was a fun, light, highly anthropomorphised movie and, though it was mildly perilous (sic), we had fun. My only thought now after seeing that movie is that, man, the noise of that colony must be impressive and furthermore, it must just *mong*!!
Of course, Katy now wants a penguin.
But hey, we all saw that one coming.
Selling fish door to door
I did something new tonight. I bought fish off the back of a running truck: tuna, salmon and halibut.
I've seen this done before, but it's the first time I have the opportunity to do so. I hope I don't live to regret it.
Has anybody ever done something similar in Cambs?
Scented candles
Katy has corrupted me with scented candles from the Pier. We now have an orange-cinnamon one burning in the living room and apple-ginger ones in my zen garden in the bedroom. The smell really, really nice.
I am adequate.
Katy was musing out load at what my extreme make-over would include. Apparently, I need a brow lift, cosmetic dentistry, liposuction and a tailored exercise regime. When I started goofing about the breast enlargement and the brazilian butt lift, she started choking with laughter. When I mentioned the penis enlargemnt kit I got in a spam, she said the words all men yearn to hear: it's adequate. *chuckle* I think we scared my sister with that conversation :D
