psychic monday + vegemite in slovenia

you know that time of night when tv gets really dodgy and it's a pretty frightening thing to watch? well, at around 1am with bren and kylie, watching austar, a commercial for psychics came on - basically you call this 'psychic' woman and she'll tell you how to improve your finances and whatnot. so she's telling people that they need to de-clutter their houses, brighten up aspects of their living room etc. and meanwhile, this poor dumbass on the phone is paying $5.45 per minute for some crackpot pretending to know how their finances will be in the future. i'll tell you right now how your finances will be in the future, pretty damn shit if you're willing to pay $5.45 a minute for this crap! and i'll tell you that for free. it actually is quite difficult to feel sorry for the callers though... seeing they're dumb enough to call in the first place. i'm sorry, i will never believe in that crap. if i was good enough at improvising and lying to people, hell, i'd become a psychic! $5.45 per minute? $327 an hour? even if i felt guilty for ripping these people off, i'd just cry myself all the way to the bank.

while having a conversation with my slovenian friend nina, we got onto the topic of vegemite. like i said, nina is slovenian so.. she's never in her life tried vegemite. ever. in her life. i can't even imagine how tragic that must be for her. she actually described it as 'that gross thing you have that looks like nutella'. one does not compare vegemite to nutella. they can not be more different and as mum said, nutella looks a lot more appetising than vegemite.
long story short, nina will be receiving a jar of vegemite in the mail shortly.
