And On That Day...
Some days
I get random movie lines that go around and around in my head over and over. It
keeps my brain mildly occupied, rehearsing the lines inwardly, trying to re-live
the movie moment in my mind, while plodding through everyday existence.
Today’s
line is from one of my all-time favourite movies, and has kept me particularly
entertained. It is a favourite line of mine from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, spoken by the
darling Mad Hatter, a character that I so love and adore that if he were real,
I’d follow his every unpredictable move.
The line…
“And on
that day…
I shall
futterwacken…
….vigorously.”
Yep. The things that feed my mind. I do wonder sometimes.

1, 2, Skip a Few, 99, One Hundred!
So...
I'm sitting on 99 blog views for "Unremarkable Thoughts"... 99... such a powerful number, as everyone waits with baited breath for that magical number...
...
...
...
One hundred!
Makes me think (rather fondly) of that great song, "99 Red Balloons". What a classic, one of the 80's Greats!
Tight black leather pants.
Denim overload.
Men with teased perms.
Cheesy keyboard synths.
Blue eye-shadow.
...And Ninety-Nine red balloons go by...
C'mon.... let's take it to 100!

Memory Lane: Nasty Nokia's
When I was teenager, and I had a second-hand nokia....
Our service provider had this Pay-As-You-Go special, where the first 15 text messages every month were free... for a teenager, that was such a treat, and yet simply not enough.
I remember the feeling I used to get when my phone bleeped (that nasty old Nokia bleep that can never be forgotten), signalling that I had a message...
Excitement!
Someone is thinking of me!
Of me!!
Who could it be?
What are they thinking?!
Of me?!
You know the funny thing?
My phone has changed.
The bleep has changed to a far less nasty chirp.
My texts are no longer free.
But that feeling? The excitement...?
...Is exactly the same. :-)
Everyone loves to feel 'thought of'. Don't you?

Dream Jobs and Licorice
IMAGINE....
...A lifetime supply of licorice!
On a bi-weekly basis, I indulge in one stick of Panda All Natural Licorice. Mmmm. *happy face*
Facts about natural licorice...
It's flavoured from the root of the licorice plant, which grows as wild as a weed in the dry regions of Europe and Asia.
Panda All Natural Licorice is meticulously cooked in the same tradition that has been followed since it's inception in 1927.
Licorice is believed to have medicinal qualities and has been linked to reducing stress and enhancing relaxation of the mind.
All natural licorice is a great snack. Low in calories, no artificial flavourants and no colourants, no bleached sugar, no additional salt, and a trace amount of fat... it's a wonder this tasty treat has any flavour at all.
But flavour it does have! Not a single batch of Panda All Natural Licorice leaves the factory without being tasted by the Executive Licorice Master who, with his incredibly attuned taste-buds, is able to determine whether or not the batch lives up to the Panda standard.
Executive Licorice Master... What a job! A lifetime supply of licorice!
Some people have it all!

Check this out. Seriously. Check it.
My brother shared this link with me yesterday... Wow! I mean, WOW.
I cannot fathom how anyone could possibly think, in the face of all this beauty and intricacy, that this universe is an accident...
Now that's seriously remarkable.
