This country is wonderful
There's something quite awesome about waking up in the morning and looking out of the window and seeing this:

I'm sure you all need convincing that Hawaii Five-O is brilliant. I mean, it's understandable that much of the world isn't as enlightened about it as I am. I won't rant and rave about it, and squee magnificently or anything like that, although I could.
No.
Below the cut guaranteed one image, and three bullet points of awesome.

I Speak Starbucks
Love it or hate it, it seems like you can’t go more than a couple of hundred metres in a city centre these days without tripping over a Starbucks. They’re all reassuringly the same. Green aprons (green for calm, calm, don’t hurt the baristas, for they provide coffee), beige and maroon walls, nice earthy tones. Pointless jazz on in the background, ( Read more... ) -

There are a few songs that are just so *perfect* that they make me crazy. In a good way. In a "I MUST LISTEN TO THIS SONG ON REPEAT FOR THREE DAYS" kind of way. I can't even quantify what it is, but some songs just grab me and give me a pure glee injection on the first listening.
Most recently it's "Hey Julie" by Fountains of Wayne, and I think it ( Read more... )
