4 Day Weekend

Not exactly sure why, but I guess my school's having a teachers only day and than another day off, not really sure and I don't really care - four day weekend's good to me! So today I was intending on having lunch with my friend Brandon, along with Nick, but this morning he let me know he was quite sick and was missing a lecture for the first time ever, so I guess that means he really was quite sick.

So Nick and I decided to do something still, so we went to lunch at my favourite restaurant in the world, a That place called "Chokdee". DELICIOUS. We invited Oscar, Rob, Ash and Nat but the last two were whores and didn't come. "Whatever." Natalie would say in her overly dramatised nasal valley-girl voice, well, in my imaginative perception anyway. So that was good and afterwards we went to Morrison Street café which was awful. So not going there again, unless somebody else is paying, in which case I'm keen. Nelson (my city) is cursed with terrible cafés! I'll never understand why drinks are so exorbitantly expensive. $3 for a decent sized coffee is fair for me, fuck just make it an instant coffee, I really don't care - just make it big and make it quickly. Sick of overpriced, tiny drinks that are 50% foam and chocolate sprinkles. So annoying.

A girl, Lea, who was an exchange student from Germany has been on holiday here for the last few weeks and it's her last few days so we had a little goodbye dinner at another restaurant, "Poppy Thai" (which is NOT as good as "Chokdee" at all), which was shockingly small because everyone's gone away for the long weekend, but we manage to get six of us (four came later but didn't order anything, three just back from netball tournament and the other, Natalie, had just finished work) together and we had a nice wee meal and chat & it was quite good.

So yeah, not the most interesting of blogs but the point of having a blog is to blog, and there's nothing special on my mind. Off to watch "Chelsea Lately", bye!

Celebrity of the Week: Chelsea Handler

Who doesn't love the TV show "Chelsea Lately" on E! and it's comedienne host Chelsea Handler? No one that I care much for, that's for sure. Chelsea is hilarious! I hardly ever laugh at anything on TV but the three things that are guaranteed to get me laughing are:

1. Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List

2. The Simple Life

3. Chelsea Lately!!

The women is just amazing, quick-witted, her talk show is all about celebrities and other funny media events so it's right up my alley. I love the format of her show, which always begins with a 2-4 minute stand-up monologue and then the "round table" with three comediennes who discuss whatever is in the news celebrity-wise & then after that there's an interview with a celebrity of some way, shape or form.

Chelsea's amazing, her show's amazing and as a result of it she and many of her comedienne chat-hosts have become pretty famous! (Eg. Whitney Cummings, Jo Koi, Loni Love, Ross Matthews, Josh Wolf, those Twins and many more!)
