Number Three: Obsessions

I go through many phases of liking particular things.

For example, at the present, I am obsessed with Lonelygirl15. Yes, I know I'm very very extremely slow on the uptake and the first season is from a year ago, but I don't care. For y'all who have no idea what I'm ranting about, go to http://www.youtube.com/user/lonelygirl15 and enter the world of Bree and Danielbeast. Watch right from the beginning. Basically, it's a series of video blogs ("vlogs"?) by these ficitious characters who are on the run from "The Order", some form of cult which resembles the secret service. All their vlogs interconnect, and, judging by where I'm up to watching, there's four or five characters that send these videos to each other, sending the audience on a chase to find out the back story of their lives. Because it is in a vlog format, that means that watchers can send video replies or comments to interact with the characters, so the storyline isn't pinned down. It's a brilliant idea. Apparently there's another series called Modern Girl or something. Must google that one.

Another obsession I have is with Tiger Toast. Everyone who was on Schoolies with me will know this one. Mmm, Vegemite with lines of melted cheese. But you shouldn't put too much cheese on it because it ruins the effect.

Podcasts. A fantastic invention. I've searched the web for 'best of' lists, and am continuing to gather quite a large collection of them. They're really good to listen to while cleaning or when you can't sleep at night. I listen to a lot of KC & Elka ("The Planet"), watch JTV vodcasts and Andrew Denton on the Enough Rope snippets, but I still crave more. Yesterday, I downloaded some "Keith and the Girl". Apparently it's funny. I'll report back on it after I've given it a listen.

Finally, many of my clothes that are piled in my wardrobe appear to have been bought from an Op-Shop. I shop regularly at the three shops around High Street, but I found the other day, after not having stepped foot in any of them for at least a month, there was a heap of new stuff in there. I ended up walking away with seven shirts and a tie for under $30. And apparently one of the shirts is from Banana Republic, a brand I recognise from Project Runway (Yes, unfortunately I watch that show), which lead me to think "Who the heck in Penrith would have been able to afford such a big designer brand?".

Oh well; mine now.
