XM Movies So Far

This year me and the lil Pube have been watching Christmas Movies in the lead up to the birth of Jesus.

1. Love Actually - 5/5
My most favourite Christmas movie and always makes me smile like a loon with tears running down my face at the end.  Christmas Spirit is all over and inside this movie LOVE IT! And love how lucky Colin gets :)


2. Elf - 5/5
The lil Pube and I loved this one and we laughed like crazy people at everything that Buddy did, LOLs all-round.  True Christmas Spirit!


3. The Santa Clause - 4/5
Tim Allen at his finest! We got extremely excited watching the transformation into the big jolly fat guy. The Christmas Spirit message is true and strong :)


4. Jingle All the Way - 2/5
This was fun and entertaining and I loved seeing Arnie as Turbo Man but it lacked the Christmas Spirit that all these other movies have; family time, love, fun and general look out for each other/togetherness.


5. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation - 5/5
I wish that I was Chevy Chase's wife! I seriously love this man and I know Pube does too especially when he lights up the house like a beacon, draining all the towns power LOL. Having all the family stay and all the terrible antics that happen "sparky" still smiles through it all because he just wants his family to have an awesome Christmas. LOVE IT!

6. How the Grinch Stole Christmas - 4/5
I think that this movie sends a beautiful reminder to us all that this time of year is a lot more than just whats under the tree. Pube loved the Grinch and his better knowing sidekick Max (dog that gets to be a reindeer).  My favourite part in the movie is when the Grinch realises what Christmas is about...
It came without ribbons, it came without tags, it came without packages, boxes or bags. 
The Grinch thought of something he hadn't thought before.
Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store!
Maybe Christmas, he thought…
Means a little more!
- Dr Seuss 

7.  Groundhog Day - 3/5
So this one loses one star cause it's not technically a Christmas movie but it should have been! So if it had have been a christmas movie it would have got 4/5, should have been 5 but I don't really like Andie MacDowell.  I just LOVE Bill Murray and all the crazy things he gets up to whilst trying to escape his repetitive hell in Punxsutawney MEGA LOLs

8. Home Alone - 3/5
Well this didn't really entertain the lil pube as much as I thought it would, she lost interest a little but laughed in all the right places.  It think it was a bit too complex about how they forgot poor lil Kevin.  Also the uncle is a prick, that part in the movie when he blamed the whole kitchen fiasco on Kevin was crazy.  I would have totally yelled at anyone who calls my kid a "little jerk"! The Christmas Spirit is well and truly in this movie and it even plays my favourite carol "Carol of the Bells".  Its only getting 3 stars cause I don't really like Kevin, he is a little smarty and stupid at the same time…why didn't he just call the cops?!
The list will be continued once more movies have been viewed :)
Peace and Joy to you all!

Listening to...Sir Lucious Left Foot:The Son Of Chico Dusty

So I am listening to the new album from Big Boi and I am finding myself hipping and hopping along to his awesome beats. There are a lot of collaborations on the album, however I don't really know most of the peeps he is collaborating with and I dont really care cause its all good shite. This album really gets ya feet a tapping and ya booty shaking. Most played songs so far are "shutterbugg","Daddy Fat Sax" & "Tangerine". There is a little dialog skit thing about getting David Blain'd and I am really hoping that this neva happens to me eva! Totally cracked me up and caused mountain dew to come out of my nostrils!
Big Boi is obviously a master, aussie hip hop take many many notes this is how the shit is done BOI!

Obession....A Spoonful of Sugar

Ok so due to man issues I have found comfort in all things sweet and unfortunately for my hips I discovered a store in the shitsville called "A Spoonful of Sugar". It should really be called a bucket full of sugar as everything in there is OTT sugar. I have only let myself indulge in the homemade fudge and have so far tried chocolate, double chocolate, turkish delight & jaffa. The fudge is soft gooey goodness that I think if everyone ate there would be no drama in the world, I mean really, chocolate really does just make you forget everything and kind of makes you say "at least there is chocolate", to all things bad. However it does have a dangerous side, for example I started buying 50g for $2.50 and have slowly been buying larger and larger pieces, I found myself handing over a $10 note this afternoon. This is not good for someone that is on a very very strict budget, do you think that the fudge makers at A Spoonful of Sugar are packing it with a sugar drug that makes you come back for more?!! I have noticed that there are regulars going back to the store at the same time as me, AND we are all buying fudge, not the boiled lollies or imported sweets etc, just the fudge! A Spoonfull of Sugar is on to something and I need to investigate further...more "research"is no doubt needed! (sorry hips)
