Pom bears

Pom bears

The only snack that looks like a little man who was hit by a steamroller and dunked in acid.

They all look like mutants never mind bears.

The film industry's dead. If its not a remake of an old film it's something so bananas you wonder how it got in the tree never mind picked from it...

Christmas Cards!

Honestly
Why do we really bother with Christmas cards!?
Between paying mad prices for things we just throw out after the big day (think of the trees!).

Writing them out is just impossible, remembering names of people you barely know and always trying to guess an acquaintances spouses name...

I've just started and already I've lost one to just bad writing, one injured due to having a licked envelope with no card in it (open letter surgery just saved it with minor scar tissue), another down due to smudge (whatever substance cards are made from it's like a whiteboard, built to easily rub off. but in reality it never rubs off it just smudges allover).

My next challenge is a card from a neighbour (No 24) I have to decipher the handwriting and just hope that my bad writing covers up the fact I just couldn't make out your name in the first place.

Honestly I just go into some kind of writing trance. I once remember sending a card saying "merry christmas from christmas" I'd wrote so many I just replaced my own name with christmas spirit...

I also lack the creativity to write anything meaningful in any card. beyond Merry christmas and a happy new year or any conceivable variant of that phrase. Still I'd love to open a card with MERRY JESUS BIRTHDAY have a nice skyblue cat with jam!

Best keep writing attention is fading.... and I've got card glitter allover my table!

There is a visitor in my garden!!!

Mystery cat needs a name

Outside

It's probably a good job I don't have the time to get out and about much, every trip out into the big wide world seems to end in some strange situation.

The other day me and a friend casually strolled into the nearest Burger King, after waiting inline then trying our hardest not to order a BigMac and Quarter pounder with cheese. We ventured forth to find a table.

Naturally gravitating to the quiet end of a busy restaurant.

Me

"The chairs here look pretty small..."

Him

"yeah I think we're in the kids section"

(FFFUUUUUU)

Me

"Sweet we'll be like giants!"

Him

"Yeah Giant Pricks..."

Ok fair point!

A moment fraught with terror, the famous quote "It's a trap!" springs to mind!. We quickly retreat back into the grown up section to find a more appropriately sized seat. A task made increasingly awkward by the fact we have to back track through the heart of the restaurant and pass everyone waiting in the queue, all along having that awkward moment of "look at those tools headed to the kids section and now are running away".

Such a basic mistake but one that seemingly causes time to stand still and everyone to glare. Do other people have these? Or are some people just cursed with this awkwardness?

Our next stop was to a pet shop to get a basking light for the lizards, a relatively swift and smooth transaction surely... retrieving the appropriate item from the shelf and proceeding to the check out to exchange cash for goods then get out!.

but no, having selected the only item which is the most awkward item for the poor cashier girl to retrieve from behind the counter.

Another awkward moment as she furiously struggles to retrieve the light, meanwhile we stand there holding up the queue for what seems like an eternity, whilst not looking back at the growing line and poor woman struggling with the largest and heaviest bag of dog food...

I'm sure there's a good reason for doing all shopping on the internet.

It did prompt us to have a good conversation into how some people (like us) are cursed with awkward situations, yet some have such cool and grace to just brush it off.

In the end everything worked out for the best, food was consumed and items were purchased.

Till next time!
