Day 215

Look at these rather yummy food devices. Mozzarella sticks and BBQ chicken wings.. Courtesy of Pimmyz. It's so good. They didn't last long..

Sneeze

Day 214

So I know this has nothing to with sneezes and by this - I mean the picture. But I am currently battling a cold and the last couple of times I've been driving.. A sneeze creeps up on me and then sneaks away.. Makes my eyes water.. And nothing happens. And sneezing is scary when you're driving anyway because it's impossible not to blink. Just scary. Anyway - this is a doggie pencil sharpener. Totally linked because.. Dogs can sneeze.

Ill

Day 213

Don't feel all too good today.. All bunged up mans coughing. Blergh. Here's the other glowstick jar thingy, I showed you the more successful one which lasted twice as long as this but.. This only lasted  a couple if minutes so double that isn't much more impressive..

Lifesavers

Day 212

Amy bought these sweets from the American sweet stand in Bluewater yesterday, we used to sell them in the UK but for whatever reason.. They disappeared. They are just like polls but really nice and fruity rather than mint. Yummy stuffs.

Dalek.. Cake

Day 211

So were were at Bluewater today planning to eat at Ed's because they are still offering 50% off all food.. Turns out the Bluewater one is shut. Nando's is a viable replacement. We then had a look around Lakeland afterwards and there was this awesome dalek cake just sitting there. And I managed not to eat it so that's always an added bonus. There was also a load of other Dr Who based cake decorations and what not. Bow ties are cool.

Suit

Day 210

I'm suiting up. Courtesy of Barney Stinson.

21st!

Day 209 

I'm at a party so yeah. I knicked the wifi though.

Dalek?

Day 208

So everyone has their private bills that no one else is supposed to get their hands on. Shredding is okay but if they want it enough they can piece it back together - the answer? - fire! My dad has a bonfire every now and then and recently built this one out of some spare bricks laying around. The old bin literally had split itself in half.. It looks pretty awesome in the picture and once it gone down to embers it started to look like a Dalek even more so.. Seriously.

Hemlock Grove

Day 207

I recently found myself with nothing to watch after finishing Breaking Bad and like Dexter - I found the ending a little meh.. A little anti climatic compared to some of the other story lines. I came across Hemlock Grove, I watched the trailer and thought I would give it a go. Is it good? Well I watched about 12 hours in 3 days - I got hooked on it instantly. I am a terrible binge watched when I find something I like and this is definitely one of them times. I would describe it as a strong horror drama with a supernatural take. I like the ideas used because they deviate away from the other supernatural ideas surrounding the creatures in the program. I am avoiding saying what creatures because I want you to go and see it for yourself because you have to work a lot of stuff out for yourself. It is a program that really doesn't give you anything solid to make judgements off of, just bits of the puzzle. It's a Netflix original so it's only available on Netflix and it's all made available at once when the series is complete. There is only one series at the moment so probably best to make it last longer than I did.. Kind of regret it now because I really liked it. I will warn you that it is very graphic and contains strong themes - hence the 18 rating but something's will make some people more uncomfortable than others so.. Yeah. Check it out. 

By the way.. I had to create this post twice.. The blogger app appears to have a bug which crashes the app when trying to add a picture.. I always forget to save a draft before I try.

Butter Cup

Day 206

So a pretty well known fact about me is that I love ice cream. I am the type of person you'll see at McDonalds in the winter with a McFlurry rather than a hot chocolate. So usually I don't need a reason to try a new flavour of Ben & Jerry's but I had many recommendations about the Peanut Butter Cup flavour. It's peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter cups in it - like Reese's if you have tried them before. It was pretty good but it's not my favourite. Cow Power for the win!

Bwark

Day 205

That's supposed to be the noise a chicken makes. I was at Nando's so I didn't hear that noise.. Yeah.. Anyway. Bluewater Nando's is awesome, we prefer the one in the food court and it's just tasty. I want more already..

First

Day 204

Bit of a blast from the last this but this picture is the very first I ever took with this phone. As you can maybe tell we had both just got our iPhones so we wanted to play with them. I chose to mess around with the camera first and I never deleted this picture. Amy likes it and said I could use it so thanks to her, and yes she does sit like that all the time. We were laughing at it because a lot of the stuff in the background is no longer there or has completely different things upon it. Then again this picture is about two years old..

Glittery

Day 203

So Amy saw this interesting looking thing to try on the interwebs and we thought we'd give it a try today. What you do is cut open some glow sticks and empty the liquid into a clear jar - quick tip - cut off both ends and it will all empty quickly. Breaks the vacuum and stuff. After that you add some glitter - as much as you like. Then put the lid on and shake like crazy! The more the better. Then show whoever you want and take a picture because the glowing effect doesn't last very long outside of the stick; I'm presuming because there's not as much of the activating agent left and what not. The effects are really cool and depending on the quality of the glowstick you'll get a brighter glow and a longer effect. We made two. The first was with 4 pink standard size ones which worked okay, the second was with a real chunky wilderness glowstick which was awesome - that's the picture I've included. They're really cool so give then a try.

Burgers

Day 202

So we made the burger things today from Tofucute and they were really cool to make. It didn't go anywhere near as smoothly as the videos or what the box shows.. But it got there eventually. One of them turned out much better than the others - more photogenic so to say. The fizzy actually fizzed. We somehow managed to burn the chips in the microwave? Well just a little bit but yeah.. It didn't taste fantastic. We don't think it was supposed to taste fantastic, just the novelty of a tiny burger. I would definitely try it again to make it better and recommend it to other people - much fun to be had.

Accept?

Day 201

This post did have a nice description about the picture but I've had no luck getting it onto Blogger thanks to my connection. So I will leave it going and hope it accepts! At least it's the day after 200 or that would have been worse me thinks. By the way, this is the long jump at the Paralympics. They run alongside and jump when their partner tells them to. It's crazy the amount f trust they must have for each other.

200

Day 200

So today marks 200 days where I have posted something every day. Pretty happy with that. Also puts into perspective how long I've been doing this blog, it's accumulate over 10,000 views recently as well so thanks for that. High fives all round. As for a picture - some strange popcorn that tastes rather nice in all honesty. Worcester sauce and tomato - I know it sounds like crazy talk but it's good stuff this!

Gingerbread

Day 199

So it's not Christmas anymore.. Well done me for pointing that out. That just means that shops are selling of Christmas stuff nice and cheap, usually 75% off. Amy got this gingerbread Christmas tree kit thing to make as it was only £1. It's really heavy for a little box so I have a feeling it'll be awesome. 

I, Frankenstein

Day 198

So this film was just chucked in my face when I went to watch a YouTube video an my oh my.. I want to see that. It's interesting to turn Mary Shelly's monster in what appears to be a monster hunter but.. Ahh it looks awesome. Just remind me of Abraham Linkoln - Vampire Hunter. That was dang awesome.

Tofucute

Day 197

This may ring a bell for some people as Tofucute products are very popular with YouTubers it would appear. They like to make videos of them watching a video and making these things alongside.. They're really awesome. The ones at the back of the picture are kits to make burgers with fries, sushi and then another one which you can just mess with.. They are powders which you are water to and become.. Tiny foods. Minatures. Edible and strange. Can't wait to try them out, apparently they smell just like the food they are supposed to be emulating so I wonder what they'll taste like! The middle ones are like Mikado but proper ones.. They taste like a hot chocolate to me. On a stick. The front things are little panda biscuit type things with little pandas doing stuff on the front, filled with smooth chocolate. Google Tofucute and you'll find the site if you're interested. Asian stuff is awesomely odd.

Building

Day 196

This is one of the buildings in Maidstone, I took it when I first got my phone and I really remember being quite impressed with it. No idea why. This is also back when I actually used Instagram. I know I should use it more but I never think to post stuff so.. Yeah.

OJ?

Day 195

So Amy likes orange juice. A lot of it. As it is only 45p for 3 she likes to stock up on it.. 12 in all. I know there aren't 12 there but some are elsewhere. Juice. At least it's healthy. As is diet coke. 'Healthy.'

Front

Day 194

Something random from the Harry Potter studios. These are two fake houses used for some bits and bobs even though a lot of filming was done on a real street. Extravagant props eh?

Smart Wax

Day 193

Here is the wax work of Stephen Hawking, a ridiculously smart man. I think the most impressive thing about him is that his disability didn't stop him, he still works today and is a leading scientist in his field. He's friggin' awesome.

Chicken Boat

Day 192

So it's just a really cool egg holder. I keep calling it the chicken boat when it's really not but oh well. It's awesome. I like it.

Spot The Cat

Day 191

All cats have their own personalities and mine is a little eccentric to say the least. He's the type that gets scared of everything but things that should scare him - not so much. So for whatever reason I turned round today and saw him where he is in the picture. The flash made him a lot easier to spot but couldn't help but think this was a little bit creepy. He's watching. How cute.

Great?

Day 190

So classic Christmas presents are smellies. Generic items which are always useful and always nice to get. I got two box set type things from somewhere for Christmas by FCUK and they came with body sprays. It smells nice and I've used it every day since I've opened them so that's always good. I just find it really funny what it says on the tin. Have a look.

First Star

Day 189

These are the very first pair of conversers I bought myself. I'd had a pair before from my sister but I really liked these and whipped them up. I like that they came right up above the ankle, not really sure why but yeah. Still got them, still in great condition - just take a rather unhealthy amount of time to put on.

Fake

Day 188

It's done with a ballpoint pen but it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I drew it on Amy's arm and I cannot remember what it meant now as this was about 2 years ago.. I drew some on myself as well but I didn't take pictures of them for some reason. I like drawing on hands, I used to do it at school all the time. Fun.

New Sheets

Day 186

New sheets from Christmas! They're really comfy!

On And Off

Day 185

So the power has been crazy all day, pretty sure it's cut out on about 3 separate occasions. Thankfully Amy loves candles so we aren't short of a light source whenever such an event occurs. Also I have my new extendable 57cm magnetic torch from Amy's grandparents for Christmas. It's awesome. I play with it way too much but it makes the little models from Tiger dance if you remember them. Yeah.

Free

Day 184

So games with good just paid out with a game which I have been told is really rather good. Sleeping Dogs, no idea what it's about but it's by Square Ennix so it should be awesome. Free game is a free game at the end of the day whether it's good or not!
