The Sexy Mashup

Covers are cool. Why? To have the ability to rehash a well-known song into something completely different and yet, still recognizable takes a lot of skills. Case in point... Have a look at LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It": (Venice Beach!!!)

And the new version:

Awesome! :)

A Tempting Recipe

I came across this recipe and thought I should post this:

Some background information. The lady with the white hair in the picture is Paula Deen. She has a show on the Food Network (my favourite channel) known for her use of butter in every single recipe possible. I mean she LOVES butter. Her idea of "healthy" cooking is only using half a stick of butter in a salad.

But this recipe just cracked me up. Can you even call this a recipe? Open a tin can and melt butter. Done. And she gets paid millions of dollars?!?! Time for me to apply to be the next Food Network's next TV star!

Growing Up in Less Than 3 Minutes

This is pretty amazing...

I would do this also if

a) I had a child.

b) I had the energy to do so

c) I had the money to pay someone to make one of these for my imaginary child.

Me and My *CRAZY* Accent

I was in London for the day. While waiting to pay for a sandwich right before the train was about to leave, a gentleman tapped my shoulder and the proceeding dialogue took place:

Gentleman: Could I go ahead of you? I only have this [showing me a candy bar and exact change in his hand].

Me: I'm really sorry, but my train is about to leave.

Gentleman: WOW! You've got a CRAZY accent. [eyes in bewilderment] Where are you from?

Me: I'm from the States.

Gentleman: So you're going to board a train to the States from here? [chuckle] I heard that all Americans were nice.

Me: Hmm... yeah. Of course! [while inserting my debit card]

Gentleman: [handing over his exact change and showing the lady what he had in his hand then looks at me] See? Easy! [pats my back and walks away while I'm still waiting for my receipt]

Ok, I've had my accent called "too American", "strange" and "annoying." (The "annoying" bit was accepted because I had called my Aussie friend's accent as "incomprehensible" beforehand.) But for some reason, "crazy" and especially the way this guy had said the word left me slightly shocked. 

After the hour long ride back to uni, I've come to this conclusion: to each his own. (Alright, I borrowed that quote.) Accents make everyone more attractive in one way or another.
