Yes, I am talking about ice-cream: the only food that punishes you for eating it too fast. Naturally the best ice-cream is from New Zealand, in particular the brand Tip Top. You can buy a huge cone of it for $1.50 which is extremely cheap considering I bought a 2 scoop cup of ice-cream from Baskin and Robbins this afternoon for $5.50. I wanted this really cool sundae, but it was $6.70. No way. However I now have 3 favorite ice-creameries. Is that how you spell that? I dunno. Baskin and Robbins Albany Creek, Cold Rock anywhere and this place at Coolum near the Coffee Club. It literally has the best sorbets and gelatis you have ever tasted. They’ve won awards for it.
My recommendation for the best ice-cream: Toppa Hokey Pokey. Go to Woolworths (it’s exclusive to them), its in the ice cream section (duh) and buy it. It comes in a blue tub and has the big words saying hokey pokey on them. It’s high quality ice-cream.
Now, onto one of my best topics. TV. I watch it, dream about it, live it. I’m currently watching Dexter, which is playing at the moment. I’m blogging through the ads. It’s premiered tonight and I expected better. It’s not
your average serial killer show, he has the cunningness of Jigsaw but doesn’t deliver on the intestity of it. He’s too friken calm! Sure thats what serial killers are supposed to be like; strong, confident and skilled. But seriously have some passion! He has the same thing, the addiction to killing, just like Micheal Keaton did in Mr. Brooks. But at least Mr. Brooks seemed to have passion! Back to the Jigsaw thing, the only real way he is similar to him is the way he narrates the show. Everything that we see as one thing he changes into something different. Only he narrates the show, Jigsaw told the person all this on the little tapes before they got hacked to pieces.
Another thing is the characters in general, the only real one I can see is the Mexican cop guy. Or what nationality he actually is I dunno. He seems to be the only real life guy. The others are like all oddities, and they just happen to work in the same place. WTF. The sister; she swears uncontrollably and yet when shes around other people she has like this split personality and becomes some nervous breakdown loon. The Lieutenant is like a black paris hilton and the other black guy seems to swear uncontrollably too, and is the total stereotypical tough guy. He’s like a crazy army guy or something. And serial killers wanting to play?!? How the hell did this other killer even find out about Dexter? Is he an actual killer or is he an addict like Dexter? Will this create conflict between the two? Hopefully the show finishes a complete season so I find out, then the show can be cut. I’m not quite sure how many episodes there are, I know theres going to be a complete season because I can watch it on the internet if I want to and Channel Ten wouldn’t air a show that only has half a season. Although, anyone remember Journeyman?
I show I did enjoy a little however is Private Practice, the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off with Kate Walsh. I liked it better when she was on Grey’s. If she’s doing a spin-off show with the same kinda thing why didn’t she just stay on Grey’s? Her character was awesome. Her character still is awesome, although now shes become some lovey dovey hippy lets get back to nature and dance naked chick. Which I don’t really like too much. But its still an overall good show even if Grey’s Anatomy is better. But that’ll return later in the year, or perhaps next year, I don’t know. But The Chief did a cameo in its pilot! I was like LOL don’t try to distant yourself too far from Seattle Grace. The series would have to become unique then. She even made references to Seattle Grace throughout the show. In my book, Rule #1 is when making a spin-off show try to distant yourself as much as you can from the original show. Otherwise its like getting half of the original. Hopefully they won’t keep making these mistakes. I reckon the show has a future.
I’m seeing Hancock on tuesday, and again wednesday. It’s for Jessica’s – one of my closest friends, I know all her secrets and vice versa, best friend ever – birthday. I’ll recommend The Love Guru. Because Hancock and Get Smart finish on Wednesday, but the Love Guru comes out on Saturday. So yeah we’ll see what happens.
But omg one of my friends, Laura, was so bloody wtf tonight. We’re seeing a movie, and shes like yeah we’ll bus in, mum wants me to go with someone (because she obviously doesn’t catch them often). So i’m like yeah sure, make sure you catch the one I do. Shes like yea my parents will drop me to the stop in my suburb. Which is like a 30 minute drive from where she lives. I’m thinking dude, if your parents can drop you alllllllllllllll the way to this bus stop why don’t they just take you in to the shopping centre! I asked her a little more subtly then that and she didn’t answer the question. Then I’m like my Dad can take us, and shes like no, its too far away. Seriously, if your parents can drive you all the way out here my Dad can pick you up. But noooo, so then I’m like ok well then get your parents to drop you off at *place*. Because theres a bus stop right across the road and my house is also right across the street. Her reply, no my parents want me to catch the one from *other place*. I’m like whatever, I’ll just walk the 20 minutes to that bus stop, just to make you happy. Even though theres a bus stop less than a minute walk away from me. Oh the effort.
So that’s it for the moment. Come back later for the next installment of The Life, Times and Incredible Amount of Effort by Domino.
Laterz.
I’m going to see Hancock on Wed too.. But I’ve heard its disappointing.
I only love one flavour of ice cream – Cookies and cream. I’m more of a gelati girl myself.
