Things I've learned from Australia's Funniest Home Videos
1. Friends don't let friends drink and dance on tables
2. When you arm a kid for a swing at a pinata, steer clear
3. If you don't skate, maybe it's best if you don't take it up at age 64...especially on a half pipe...especially while the kids are filming...
4. The human body can take an amazing amount of abuse
5. Face plants are funny

Link-a-rama
Unbelievably extensive collection of Sydney links over at Design*Sponge. An old is coming into town next week on business...maybe I should shoot her the link so she can do a little 'research'. lol

How to give your child nightmares...
Buy them this clock! Jeez, that would have scared the bejebus out of me when I was little. But I guess it does have a sort of Disney quality...or maybe I was easily creeped out as a kid

Secret Sale
Kris just blogged about United secret sale. LAX/SYD round trip for $1000. Damn that is so cheap! But its a secret so don't tell anybody!
And I'm with Kris, is Qantas is willing to price match, I'd take Qantas over United anytime. Totally worth racking up that credit card. Especially if you have a free place to stay in Sydney (not that I'm hinting to my friends and family or anything)

RIP LUX
I'm still in shock about Lux Interior passing away.
One part of my brain is like 'Wow, he was only 60, that is so young' and another part of my brain is 'WHOA how could Lux possibly be 60!'
He could have been a grandpa! That's just crazy talk.
Well, enjoy Bikini Girls with Machine Guns. Ya just got to love a man in heels. *sigh*

Comfy-bumfy
The Mixing Bowl is running a comfort food recipe contest. There's lots of interesting stuff there. Mac N cheese, chicken soup, lasagna.
But it got me thinking about comfort food.
My comfort food isn't necessarily yours.
Like I don't eat red meat so the thought of pork chops actually make me feel ill, while mashed potatoes or baked mac N cheese get me all warm and squishy inside. And I love chicken and dumplings. mmmm. Oh, Oh, and then there's the sweet stuff. Chocolate chip cookies or hot apple pie ala mode. drool....
But all I know for sure is that after looking through those recipes, people really find cheese comforting. That and bacon grease (Yes, I'm talking to YOU TIM!)
Yeah, this could get messy

Ikea Stylemeter
Apparently I'm 'Scandinavian Modern'.
Makes sense. I just selected all of the things we already had.
