American Sweetness

So, at this moment in time, I am watching The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and this is the first Bluray that I have watched on the Xbox One and with the fancy TV. I have never personally seen any different with quality, on TV for example, Amy always watched the HD channels where available and I never really noticed.. Whereas, with this, as soon as it got to the title screen - dang you HD! It was like the first time I went to the cinema after they had upgraded the projectors.. I was surprised to notice any difference. Glad I did. Just a shame that Bluray hasn't become more of a commercial choice yet because this is what will make the prices go down! I think anyway.. I am guessing and stuff, don't mistake this babble for market based knowledge.

Gogglebox was really good today, they introduced another new family which at the moment.. Well.. Meh. I am not too bothered, they didn't get much screen time and when they did it was for intellectual sections, as they are older people who are artists in a little cottage. So I guess some of the more generic programmes wouldn't interest them - but hey, maybe they do. The thing I like a lot about the show, is that it really makes you have the complete range of emotions that the TV wants to extract from you, because you are watching it on other people as well.. It makes you empathise more. If you can see a lot of people experience the desired effect, you sort of can't help but do it anyway. Interesting social dynamics. Imagine my knowledge-fully scratching my beard whilst reading this, totes works.

Amy is strange - she likes being told what is going to happen in the film. She also thinks it is a nice train - she also has no idea I am writing this, wuhaha.

Day 625 & 626
So, I was fancying a snack. And I was rummaging through the cupboard and I thought I would delve into our American stock, as we haven't touched too much of it still. In the end, we have started two packets. One of which I was terribly unhappy to taste and am glad that I will never had the displeasure of eating again.. Which is this first picture here..

Peeps are basically these marshmallows with some sort of cream in them, peppered in sugar. These ones were strawberry flavoured and.. I popped one in my mouth.. And it just made me shudder with displeasure. I really can't describe it, sometimes you just don't like something but this I really hated, the face I pulled, I could feel it was some sort of distorted anguish. They are also shaped like birds - that is pretty cute. Although.. Where they were in the suit case.. They are all squashed in on themselves.

See now, I am pretty sure these aren't actually available for general sale in England, I assume you would be able to get them in the special shops that import American sweets and then charge an arm and a leg - of course I can't recommend them to you. Just the thought.. Oh dear.

Cheeky little Apple TV remote in the back.

Now these next lovelies, I really do enjoy these ones.

You may know what normal life savers are, they are basically fruity polos. These ones however, are gummy ones sort of like Haribo but with fruity flavours. It is really strange because, the gummy consistency is really different in comparison to anything available in England.. I can't describe it. I really can't. It is just different - but good different. They also smell amazing!

For now I am going to enjoy the rest of the film, and you are going to enjoy the rest of your night.
