thank you for your interest in the poll in the previous entry. i actually came home, made some notes about the vid, rewatched the good bits of final cut (ie, the bits with pilots), and then watched rome.

*

speaking of rome, i've just watched the first episode. it was interesting.

show of hands who liked it, please? i can't decide. which is unusual, as usually i'm either yes! or no! about it, not this wishy-washy indecisiveness.

there's this vid floating around, and it uses a song called 'consider this.' can someone upload it (the song) for me? please?

i'm tired and feeling blah and actually feeling pretty emo too, so before i attempt to be creative, i'm going to list some things that make me happy, because there's some sort of meme going around.

OMG.

TimTams are like crack, baby. Incredible, edible crack.

They're a sandwich cookie, chocolate biscuits with chocolate creme and a chocolate coating, and they come in really good flavors like Mocha, Black Forest, etc.

Mmm. Sadly, I ate the last of my birthday TimTams last week.

So they are edible. And they sound delicious! :)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your description of Tim Tams. It is totally accurate, and yet also weird. Because to describe Tim Tams, I would be flailing all over the place going, "well, they're Tim Tams. They're chocolate." Actually I don't like the new flavours. I'm a classic Tim Tam eater. And you can bite off the corners and suck your hot chocolate up through it like a straw, which is fun.

Okay, I've worked out my problem with your description. Because you said they're 'a sandwich cookie.' The problem here is that we say biscuit, and Tim Tams are Australian and therefore must be described using Aussie terms. Yes.

I never said I was sane, but I make my own crazy kind of sense.

Who sent you Tim Tams?

Aha. My apologies. They are biscuits, yes.

I noticed, actually, that the new flavors are much more American-tasting. If that makes sense. I still like the older ones, but I have a think for cherry. And, er, it's chocolate.

And my TimTam fairy is named acetal. He's one of deathpixie's deputies.
