I literally don't know whether to laugh or cry.
 
I felt inspired to do some Mandy Moore research today, I didn't realise she voiced Rapunzel in Tangled, I like that movie and watched it as recently as last week. Her singing voice is so beautiful and actually she can act, but she is permanently B list at best I feel - if that.

What about Christina Aguilera? I like her voice.

By far the most talented of that group, her voice is amazing. Her album Stripped was quite good, but it was so hit and miss otherwise for me, she just never had the proverbial X factor I feel.

It was totally fitting that Xtina coached The Voice while Brit did The X Factor, that's what each of them had over the other, but look which one gets you further.

She may have a great voice, but she doesn't have agreat record coaching wise on The Voice.

Yeah, well I guess you'd hope the singers in the show are already pretty talented and should really be seeking advice regarding building their career. I suppose Christina has actually been pretty successful, but as far as experts dishing advice go, well you can get much better.
 
I'll graciously concede to second place on hooleydooley checking in, due to hooley not being a Passions tragic.
Speaking of Passions, the subject came up at work this week. I was able to name the show and Timmy, all the while sounding very knowing, that being in part due to Witty. Thankyou for that.
 
Have you tried it yet? I bought some today, inspired by the chat on here.
I quite like it, it's fairly subtle so you don't get a huge vegemite blast.
I'm not going to try it, but I have tried the Pretzel and honeyed Peanut one. That's not bad at all. Mum ate more of it than me. I was too busy scoffing Darrell Lea double chocolate covered licorice.

It's an important tool in one's armoury for being the worst show ever made, and gloriously so.

The basic crib sheet is a witch and her living ventriloquist doll compete to respectively destroy or save the town of Harmony from a volcano that explodes if Charity and Miguel consumate their love. There were countless cliffhanger coitus interruptions. Other ridiculous plotlines came and went, but that was the immutable pillar.
 
Oh @bleachy_dude (et al) I just tried the Vegemite chocolate - I approve greatly, it's subtle but still has that delicious vegemite flavour. I've been disappointed by so many chocolates lately (I'm talking about you salted caramel Lindt balls) but this one hit the mark perfectly. Kind of like all my food dreams have come together in one.

Oh that's so nice of your daughter, you have obviously raised her well to be so generous and thoughtful.

Enjoy your weekend - it sounds fun and you definitely deserve it after all your health issues.

I'm so happy that you do, I don't know why I ever doubted.

Are your moving plans progressing?

My friend who tried it also seemed to like it, not quite as emphatically as me.

Ugh my moving plans are a bit stagnant, I was just thinking about it this morning. There's so much to consider and actually do, it's very overwhelming. I want to go up and look at more houses soon though, that might get the ball rolling again.
