A MEMO FOR MY FAVOURITE RUDE MOBILE PHONE USERS

Pretty much I love Gizmodo!

Wish I could hand this out to all those annoying people who feel the need to yell into their mobile phones without any regard for those around them. It's quite irritating! Or when I'm at work and half way through a customer ordering their meal they'll answer their phone and make me wait. People are just so selfish, grrr!

I especially hate those people who are on their phone yet feel they have the right to annoyed at others.

WHAT DO AUSSIES GOOGLE??

Listening to the radio on the way to the station one morning, there was a discussion about the top 10 Aussie Google searches. Later that day I found an entry about it on Gizmodo. Pretty much the outcome shows how lazy we are as internet user. The list makes it seem as if we don't really know that the address bar is different to a Google search, or we just don't understand how to use it?

Whatever the case is, half of these results just need a .com or a .com.au at the end and away you go.

  1. Facebook
  2. YouTube
  3. Hotmail
  4. eBay
  5. MySpace
  6. Google (typing google into the google search bar? really?)
  7. Yahoo
  8. Gmail
  9. Bebo (pretty suprised that made it onto the list. we are quite sad!)
  10. Seek

This is what we searched for this year people... xx

CAKE!

Stumbled across the yummiest looking rainbow cake a few weeks ago. Created by Whisk Kid. The Super Epic Rainbow Cake (yes, that's what it's been named) is SIX layers of sugar! And it's got a lemon taste, YUM!

VINTAGE IN MAINSTREAM SHOPS

Went shopping along Crown Street yesterday. My bee-line towards Minty Meets Munt. I didn't find what I went there for but that's not the point.

Anyway. Before I went got out towards Oxford Street (while I was till in the QVB I mean) I went into pretty much every store to just browse. The Sportsgirl accessorises store had a section along the back wall with vintage items they store had bought from various places, and was selling back to the public. There were shoes, belts and bags. Each had a little tag on them that explained where the item originated from.

Towards the end of my shopping trip I went into American Apparel. Someone once told me they had a vintage line. So I wanted to check it out. I honestly do not get the piont of American Apparel, I was pretty suprised to see people in the store (lol). Anyway, the vintage line isn't American Apparel owned (I read the label on the clothes). It's an ebay store called California Select. The store sells American Apparel as well. I'm guessing they have some sort of agreement.
I realised saying vintage line means there's a lot of clothing, but it's probably two racks about 50 cms long.

I kind of like finding vintage pieces in mainstream shops, it's a really refreshing change. If only ever Sportsgirl did this. I also like how Sportsgirl see it as a recycling factor. It's nice to see they're doing it for a good purpose, and not just to make extra money. But I could be wrong!
