friday, believe it or not + pink lemonade

this morning when i woke up, the today show was on so i sat down and watched it for a while. they were showing close-up photos of people. that's fine. except they blurred the faces. in close up photos, the entire face was blurred. why on earth would they even bother showing the photos? it frustrates me so much. find something else to show.

so today i went to the coast with amy and her boyfriend, marcus. i took my book for the trip down, the same book that i finally got back from her after leaving it in her car, only to not read it at all (they are fun to talk to) and to once more, leave it in her car. what an idiot.
i went to my first irish pub for lunch and amy bought me a pink lemonade, only for the girl to realise that they were out of lemonade. water is good too. amy cleaned out my wallet while we were waiting for our meals - a job i hate. so many receipts.

anyway, we decided to go to ripley's believe it or not. it was absolutely brilliant. i loved reading all of the interesting things and seeing unusual things - like a replica of the last supper.. made entirely out of toast, burnt in all the right places:

sorry for the awful phone quality

amy also took some nice photos of us/myself.

after ripley's we got ice cream. it was sort of the best ice cream i have ever tasted and there were unlimited test-tastes (even though after the third i felt bad for asking and just made up my mind). unlimited taste-testing is the most amazing thing ever invented.

during dinner tonight, the door opened slightly and the curtain started blowing. i immediately thought of the worst-case scenarios - a burglar was first to mind? but luckily, it was just our dog, cosmo. if anybody tries to come into the yard while we're out, he'll go berserk, turn into the hulk basically. but as soon as someone in the neighbourhood lets off a firework, he's straight inside, cowering with his tail between his legs. anyway, mum was nice enough to let him stay inside.
