B-B-B-B Bird is the word

This song is a firm favourite in our house. We sing it all the time. Abi thinks it's hilarious. She loves Peter Griffin... Yes, I'm a naughty Mum and let my toddler watch Family Guy occasionally. But this clip is hilarious. SURFIN BIRD!!

Angry Boys

I felt this trailer deserves its own post. The hype surrounding Chris Lilley and his new show, Angry Boys, is definately in overdrive following the trailer release this week.

If you don't know who Chris Lilley is, read about him here or watch some clips here and here.

He is pretty hilarious. Mind you, his shows aren't everyone's cup of tea. Yes, there is foul language but what show doesn't have swearing these days?!

I for one, am very much looking forward to some light hearted Australian comedy coming soon to the ABC.

Willow Smith vs. Sesame Street

This is hilarious.

Someone definately has alot of time on their hands. Someone has edited the original Sesame Street video of characters singing to Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" to make the clip above. It's hilarious.

On the subject of Willow Smith, I don't know how I feel about the whole thing. Is she too young? Are 10 year olds ready for showbiz at this age? I don't think so.

Here is Willow's performance from The Ellen Degeneres show which aired yesterday. It aires today in Australia. Hmmmmm

Theme Songs - Beverly Hills 90210

Here is my theme song for the week.

A classic. I actually sing this ALL the time. And you MUST mimic Brandon's boxing fist movement when you sing the song too. "Cha Cha"

I thought the crew of 90210 were the coolest people to roam the planet. I loved Dylan and Brandon. I thought Brenda was pretty?! And thought Donna was a bimbo and Kelly a tart.

I have ALL the seasons on DVD except the final season which was just released. And yes, I'll be picking it up this weekend at JB Hi-Fi.

And the scary thing now, is that I've morphed into Cindy Walsh. True story. Haha.

And that's what you missed on GLEE!

Glee is back.

I was a late bloomer with Glee. My sister is a massive fan. I'm glad I jumped on the bandwagon, it's super cute and fun and lighthearted.

Last night's episode was really fun.

My favourite song was 'Billionaire' by newbie Sam Evans and the Glee boys.

The cast singing 'New York State of Mind' was also super cool. Glad to see Quinn is back to her old self again.

Newbie Sunny is cute but she is no Rachel.

Sue was brilliant as always. The new football coach was pretty hilarious too.

Next week's episode is going to be amazing, a whole episode dedicated to Britney Spears! I've been a fan of Brit Brit since 1999. Yes, she is a little loopy, yes, she dresses like a tart, but there is no doubt, her songbook is fantastic.

Super Cute Clip

Katy Perry featuring Elmo - Hot n Cold

Abi and I have been watching this all day and we love it! Abi LOVES Katy Perry ever so much.

GQ Man of the Year

And the winner is Jon Hamm, gorgeous manly man / actor who portrays Don Draper on hit show Mad Men.

He is just gorgeous!

Theme Songs - Jem

Here is my TV theme song for today.

I loved Jem so much as a kidlet. I actually wanted to be Jem. I thought she was so beautiful but I knew she was a rebel because she had pink hair.

Music has been a passion of mine practically since birth, so the fact that Jem sang in every episode was very cool.

The Misfits seem cool now though. I love the beauty spot on the blue-haired girl!

Theme Songs.

I'm quite the slave to the idiot box, as my parent's called in during my childhood.

I do love a good TV show.

And even more so, a good theme song.

I even had a playlist on my old ipod called "theme songs" consisting of around 40 classic theme songs. This playlist was a hit and I would often play this at work or at parties. You have to be drunk to listen to TV theme songs though. And even more drunk to sing along to them. At a house warming party a few years ago, a group of friends and I stood around in a circle and we all screamed the words to childhood favourite like Perfect Strangers, Captain Planet, Golden Girls, Full House and Good Times.

Here is my 1st pick. I love this song. And I was quite a fan of the show too. I always loved Jason Bateman. Even with that terrible crew cut. He reminds me of Fido Dido.

Currently - The April Edition

This wonderful idea is borrowed from Lauren From Texas and I love it. Thanks Lauren!

Current Book (s): Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. This is the 1st novel in the Sookie Stackhouse collection. I watched the TV series first so already have a clue about the characters and story lines, but it's definately a fun read. My next few reads will include Andre Agassi - Open and In Cold Blood by Truman Copote.

Current Playlist: Wow, too many to mention but here we go. Lots of new albums released recently but some oldish tracks here too.

• Gorillaz - Stylo
• LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean
• Goldfrapp - Rocket
• Miike Snow - A Horse is not a Home
• Florence and The Machine - You Got The Love
• Band of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You
• Lady Gaga - Alejandro
• Yeasayer - Ambling Alp
• Lykke Li - Possibility
• Laura Marling - Rambling Man

Current Shame - Inducing Guilty Pleasure: Finishing the leftover Easter eggs... I have 4 left I think, but it's time to throw them out. I also had a Quarter Pounder last night and feel so guilty! But it was to help *cure* my 2 day long migraine. Greasy food always helps. So I tell myself...

Current Color: Black. I always wear lots of black. And grey. That's about it. Boring.

Current Drink: Water from my SIGG bottle. Am trying to cut all softdrink and caffeine from my life, which isn't alot, but I want to bannish it for good. So for the time being, it's water all round. I'm a slave for sparkling water with lemon which I drink on weekends.

Current Food: I recently bought this book Crunch Time Cookbook: Recipes For Rapid Weight Loss and have tried a few recipes. The portions are tiny, which is what I need to drill into my head... PORTION CONTROL. From the book this week, I'm cooking Salmon Patties, Lamb Cutlets with salad and a lean Beef Stir-Fry. Our usual family favourites are being cooked in the next week as well, Beef Tacos and Spag Bol which Abigail loves.

Current Favorite Show: I am a terrible TV addict and love my shows. We have 2 nights a week without TV, but most nights we watch a few episodes of something.
At the moment, I'm loving HBO's Big Love about a fictional fundamentalist Mormon family in Utah that practices polygamy. It's so sad and disturbing at the same time. We are currently watching Season 3.
We have finally started Dexter Season 1 and while James loves it, I find it quite graphic and gory.
United States of Tara Season 2 has just started again in the US and this show is just brilliant. If you aren't watching it, start right now!

Current Wishlist:

• A Kindle so I stop buying hard copy books and save paper. This is what I keep telling my husband, who has reservations with me buying one.
• Blazer from The Gap.
• Jacket from Spyder for this year's ski season. Very cool indeed.

Current Needs: Sleep. I've been struggling with little sleep all month, but the last week has been ridiculous. A facial would be lovely. A remedial massage even better! Also, finding and hiring a real estate agent to find me the perfect home.

Current Triumphs: FINALLY starting to get the wheels in motion to buy a house. We purchased a block of land 5 months ago and are reconsidering building a new house. Fortunately we can sell the land and hopefully get more than what we paid for it, but in the mean time, we need to find a house. I'm OVER apartment living in the city. So yes, the plans have started, time to get serious! Woo, more open houses on weekends.... BOO!

Current Bane(s) of my Existence: My weight. And my anxiety. Both feel out of control at the moment. *Tear*

Current Celebrity Crush: John Corbett from United States of Tara. Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow. Alison Goldfrapp of Goldfrapp.

Current Indulgence: Reading online blogs. I've spent WAY too much time this month reading online blogs. Another reason why I will need a kindle AND/OR ipad... Also buying tickets to EVERYTHING! I have tickets to see -

• Tom Green Live (A comedian, and that's a stretch at best. He was big in the 90's).
• The Wiggles next week with Abigail, my gorgeous older sister Jacki and nephew Michael.
• The Silver Rose (Australian Ballet). Date night with James. Norrrrrr
• Yo Gabba Gabba. Hell yeah! We are in the 8th row for this. Cannot wait. I foresee myself dancing for the entire show, I know all the songs, as does Abigail... AND James! YO GABBA GABBA!
• Warren Miller's Dynasty (A ski movie, which my siblings and I see EVERY year. It's tradition as it excited and prepares us for the season ahead).
• Splendour In The Grass. These tickets aren't on sale yet, but I will definaly be in line to buy 2.

Current #1 Blessing: My daughter Abigail. She is blossoming into the most amazing little girl. She is my light, my love. Pictured here on a hike in Thredbo over Easter break.

Current Slang or Saying: Calling Abigail, "missy". It's such a bad habit, she will think her name is Missy soon, so I'm trying to kerb that.

Current Outfit: The usual Autumn attire. Jeans, Converse trainers, ballet flats, Bonds jumper, Bonds tracksuit, scarves, Country Road beanie if weather permits. Almost ready to wear dresses with leggings, big coats, and I'm on the prowl for a black trench coat.

Current Excitement: The possibility of moving to Dallas, Texas, USA for 3-6 months for my husband's work. Would LOVE to have the opportunity to live in The States and experience everything it has to offer. Will know more about this very soon, if the plan goes ahead we could be there as early as June/July! YEE-HAW!

Current Mood: Exhaustion. Confusion. Tired. Anxious. Nervous. Overwhelmed. But loved... which is all that matters.

Current Link: Perez Hilton and DListed for all my tasty gossip treats. I don't buy any magazines anymore, after calculating that I had a $100 a month magazine habit. Husband wasn't too impressed either when I told him. I know the gossip mags/websites are pure trash, but I'm drawn to them. I really need to know how many more plastic surgeries Heidi Montag is going to have... NOT!

Music

I'm feeling very musical tonight so here's another all time fav.

I first heard this in the movie "Fear" starring Reese Witherspoon. Then fell in love with the song watching Buffy and Angel dance at 'The Prom' in Season 3 of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

While I usually don't like covers more than the original version, this cover is just sublime. The Stones version is amazing, but this is just... devine.
