Just came downstairs to get online and was greeted by the biggest mosquito I have ever had the displeasure of seeing AND then a cockroach ran past my chair and has now hidden itself under the fridge. What is my house to all you little bastards?! The frickin' WWF?! The RSCPA?! Stay in your bloody habitat and leave me to mine as I'm extremely xenophobic about entomological creatures...
With that said and done, Chris and I won $10, 000 today!!! We will receive the money on December 24 when our names are announced as the winners of the ABC store's Kath and Kim competition - the prize is to have a $10, 000 shopping spree at Fountaingate. We are pretty stoked as we just happened to enter on our way from Toowoomba to Brisbane this afternoon about, hmmmmm, seven times. You had to make up your own Kath and Kim type phrases, and within our first few TXT entries we had declared ourselves as the rightful winners, knowing without a doubt that no one could top our knowledge and grasp of suburbian vernacular.
After we realized we were the winners, we decided on how we would spend our prize money. We are making a pretty fancy schmancy list and here's what I have so far:
Wanky surplas home appliances that you only use once but are cool to have just sitting around; I really want a futon; an artsy fartsy water jug like the one at Star Cafe in Gardentown which provided us with our water at today's lunch; copious dinner sets - I want the white square asian looking ones, some really grandma/anne of green gables/flowery/southern american/quaint/tea-and-cucumber-sandwich-under-guise-of-a-lace-parisol looking ones, and then another set which would hopefully look like David Arquette's dress sense in dinnerware for my funky ones; a tranquil water fountain with bamboo shoots, bonsai trees and the whole she-bang; a kennel incase I get a dog; some foreign language tapes so I can improve on my German then learn French, Spanish and Norwegian; some good steak knives; a fancy birdcage that can simply hang redundantly on a verandah making any premises I habitate seem lived-in, rustic and nostalgic; and finally a brother p-touch if they still exist. I asked for one for Christmas when I was 10 and never got it, and I have a feeling that it could be responsible for all the voids in my life.
I just love to label, you know how it is!
Will certainly be adding some more as they come to mind, because I ain't even scratched two grand with that line up. This is me, $10 000 richer and signing off.
Oh and I want an electric piano too, just thought of it then!
