Golden Grahams!!! Little squares of ... well I guess it's wheat, soaked in what the call honey, but is clearly golden syrup. If I lived in the US, I believe this is what I would eat. I'm not a big fan of golden syrup, but these were pretty good.
I don't know what I'm going to do when these cereals run out. I might have to *gasp* go BUY some!!! This morning Laura had the coco rice krispies. She said they were the same as coco pops. The only problem was she left them too long and they went soggy.
The milk was ... good, I liked it.
For those of you who are online and wondering where good old Kirsty is ... my computer is temporarily out of action. With any luck I'll have it up and running tonight. Althought it's gonna take me a fair while to get it right back to normal again. I'll figure it out this week that's for sure. Until then, should you need to contact me ... YOU CAN GET STUFFED!
I ate two more cereals through out the day today. They both sucked. The first was the smacks, they're exactly the same as honey wheats and then I had the cinamon toasts. Dry they tasted like donuts, wet they tasted like wet donuts and the milk is toxic. It's the first one I haven't been able to drink at all.

Apparently TRIX are for kids, you silly rabbit. At least that's what the box says. Firstly let me say I was little scared of all the colour I saw when I pulled the bag from the box. It's only 8 am, that's far too much colour for this time of the morning. When I poured them into my cup, I thought "My god! a raver has exploded in my cup!!" That's right kids, Trix are VERY bright and there's lots of different colous, just the thing to get the little ones nice and hyped up for the morning. As per usual I tried them dry and to tell you the truth, they were alright, most of them tasted the same, but they were alright.
I put the milk in and then I had to work in the phones being that I'm here on my own and all, so it had a few minutes to soak in. This is something I've not done with the other cereals. I think it was a good move with this one. Basically, if you like froot loops, you'll like Trix. Personally I quite liked the way they were a bit slimey and chewey after being in the milk for a while. I much prefer a chewy cereal to a crunchy one. Now, for the milk. It can only be described as looking like one thing ... Fairy Puke. Why's that? Because it's a light shade of pink with reds, blues and yellows scattered around on the top. This is I imagine what Fairy Puke would look like. The Taste? Like froot loop milk, nothing special.
Now, there's still 8 more cereals to go. I may have another one later today, but I'm not sure whether I'm going to take them home over the weekend or not. I quite enjoy my mornings at work where I don't really do anything but eat cereal and blog for 15 minutes. This shall require some consideration.
Ok, so I got hungry again. This time it was the cheerios ... sorry FROSTED cheerios. I'm not sure why but I always thought cheerios were red ... it could be that they come in a different flavour. So here's the deal, cheerios taste pretty good dry and when ya get the milk on them they're pretty similar to nutrigrain in taste, not quite as sweet though.
Here's some not so factual facts from the side of the cheerios box:
The Frosted Cheerios "O" absorbs 37 times its own weight in milk.
Photos from the Hubble Telescope prove Frosted Cheerios are in the black hole.
The air in the middle of a Frosted Cheerios "O" is actually warmer because it created its own gravity.
So now you know kids, Cheerios are like nutrigrain. The milk is pretty similar to nutirigrain milk too, not that pleasant. I'm pretty disappointed by these cereals you know. Golden Grahams had better be better, I'm not holding my breath though. I now have weird cereal breath. Have a nice day kids and remember if ya don't go to sleep tonight Santa wont come.

Ok, so I'm gonna start by saying that who ever came up with the idea of putting little marshmallows in cereal was on smack. I really think they must have created the bit that's in there that's not made of marshmallow and no one wanted to eat it, so they said "HEY!!! I know what will make our cereal better ... MARHSMALLOWS!!!" and then they drew retarded little pictures and had them made into marshmallows.
Again, I decided I'd give them a go dry before drowning them. I didn't eat the cereal part dry, just the marshmallows. Let me tell you, they were weird. It may have been because they are a year and a half old, but then again it may just have been a bad idea. So then came the milk. I have to say, if the marshmallows hadn't been there this would have been an alright cereal for someone who is health conscious. On the side of the box it says "Hey kids, this cereal has CALCIUM". Now I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say that the calcium isn't in the marshmallows. Marshmallows + milk = not that great. Basically they some how went a bit hard in the centre when the milk got to them. Perhaps they needed longer for it to soak in. Anyway, they're all gone now so I wont get to find out. If you want to know what the milk was like, get a handful of marshmallows, stir them in some milk, eat them and then drink the milk. It was basically milk with marshmallow dust in it.
So there ya have it kids, lucky charms get the thumbs down, one more big disappointment from the US of A.
Damn you marshmallows, you make my water taste like the inside of a balloon.

Ok, so here's the deal. This lady at work came and set down next to me today with this box on her lap and proceeded to tell me the story about how she came into posession of this box and its contents. It involved ICQ, a man in the US and a packet of Tim Tams that was never bought. Anywho, she decided she'd give me this box of various breakfast cereals that this guy had sent her as she's had them for like a year and a half and hadn't really eaten any of them. There were Apple Jacks, Frosted Flakes, Smacks, Corn Pops, Cocoa Rice Crispies, Golden Grahams, Frosted Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix .... AND LUCKY CHARMS!!
What I'm going to do is eat one box (they're only those little ones ya get in packs of 6) each day and give a review on how they were. This afternoon when everyone left I decided I'd give the Apple Jacks a go. I started eating them dry as there was nothing that one would usually eat cereal in near by. So they were ok, they're like orange and green froot loops with red shit on them. I thought I'd take my chances and stick them in a blue smiley face cup that I have on my desk, then I ran to the kitchen (as I'm not supposed to leave the phones unattended) and sloshed some milk into the cup. I have to say this didn't improve them much at all. Not being a big fan of froot loops myself didn't help much I expect. So I ate them all and although I wouldn't buy them if I lived in America I'm sure there's people who like them. Now along with eating the cereal of course I'm going to drink the milk. You remember the red shit I said was on these apple jacks. Well it was now in my milk. Obviously the red is the cinnamon that always goes with apples. Logically red represents cinnamon ... OF COURSE!!! Anyway, so there's red specks floating in my milk, I thought, hey it looks weird, surely it can't be that bad. I was wrong, it really didn't taste much like cinnamon at all ... well ok it did, but I'm not into cinnamon milk.
Tomorrow's review: LUCKY CHARMS!!!!
Please note for accuracy of results, test conditions will be kept the same, at work, in the cup with a plastic spoon.

All I'm going to say is that people with ugly feet should under no circumstances wear thongs, particularly pink ones with a flower on them. It's as simple as that.

Let me just say that being sick sucks ass. I had to go home early from work yesterday and today I haven't been able to go in at all. Tomorrow there's gonna be a SHIT load of work to do, I'm likely to be behind for the rest of the week I bet. Margaret is there, but I'm not sure that she'll be able to do anything, I'm not sure what Laura has taught her. With any luck she'll be able to do a bit. Hopefully Pete is there, he miight be able to do a bit of work.
My ears and my throat really hurt, it suck. I've taken two advil and they've helped with my throat but not my ears. The doc says I have to change my diet, I can't be bothered though. It's far too much trouble to worry about what I'm eating. Much easier just to eat what ever's there. =O)

Well today was pretty boring, got up, found my name was on the roster twice and that I actually had the late, not the normal shift. In the morning I went to the end of the underpass to get money and on my way back decided I would get passport forms, they're all filled out now and I just need Adam to fill out the part that convinces the authorities that I am who I say I am.
I've been looking up about visas and such and I thought for a second that I had to send my passport to canberra (when I get it that is) but there will be no need for that, it only needs to go to grenfell street. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go next November, when it's cheap and such. Not 100% solid, but I should be nice and financial by then. I'm not looking forward to sorting out travel unsurance and all that rot, but it'll have to be done. My plan is to go over there and work in a pub while I try and find a job elsewhere. GO ME!

I'm fairly surprised that people keep finding my website by searching things to do with tits. I don't talk about tits that often do I? I mean, I'm not even that fond of tits. They're kinda annoying if you ask me, ya have to keep em in a bra, there's always pressure about whether you have big ones or not and then of course there's always the chance of getting breast cancer.
Speaking of cancer, I really needs get on losing some weight so that I don't end up with diabetes and all those different kinds of cancer. If I had someone to go to the GYM with that would keep me focussed that would be really good. I think if I was paying for it myself I'd feel more preassured to go to the gym so that I wasn't wasting my money. I think I'll join the gym at the swimming centre and go 3 times a week and swim one day on the weekend ... I really think that would put me on the right track. Motivation is hard to come by.
I think I would feel a lot better about going over seas if I was happier with my appearance. It's much easier to buy clothes when you don't have to sift through a shit load of crap to find things that fit. I want you all to kick me up the ass when I'm being lazy and stab me if I whinge when you do so. If yous don't get on my back I shall stab each and every one of you!! You've been warned.
