So I want to make these tasty looking little things for Christmas Eve next week (because frankly my cooking abilities are scarily bad, but I figure I should be able to crush biscuits and melt chocolate without too much disaster), but Australia does not have anything like a Nutter Butter. No peanut butter cookies for us. :(

This is where you, my friends across the Pacific come in. I figure I could just buy some plain biscuits and mix in peanut butter with the cream cheese, but I don't know what the actual cookies themselves taste like! Is the peanut butter just in the filling, or is it in the cookie as well? Do they taste malty, or milky or what? DT and Mattafoo, would you mind asking your other halves? I figure they'd be the best able to answer my strange question, and would be at least familiar with what we have easily available here. >_> Please and thanking you! :D

Spotlight, why you carry Sculpey but no Sculpey glaze? D:

Great googly moogly, the local libraries now lets you take out 25 items at a time. Twenty-five. I have no idea how someone would be able to go through all of them in a mere 4 weeks. I can remember when you were only allowed 6 books over a 2 week period! And I still had trouble finishing them all and getting them back on time!

AKA I really need to update this thing more often.

~ Aside from updating I need to comment on all your entries more often too. I feel bad because I take the time to read everything but I don't take the time to comment. I also feel like it's rude of me too, and I don't like that. :/ It's been made worse lately by my recent trip to Melbourne. Stuff happened while I was away that I felt it would've been weird to comment on a week later, which meant I ended up not commenting at all, and that lead to a knock on effect of not commenting on later things because I didn't comment on the earlier Big Shit, and hello spiral of shame. BUT! I'm going to try and work on being active more, because I do <3 all you guys.

~ Speaking of Melbourne, LIVING END WAS AWESOME! :D Man I love those guys live. TLE is best heard live, and they know it. I really hope that the rumour of them doing a proper tour of Australia next year, rather than just the capital cities, is true. I want to see them again alreadyyyyyyyy. And as a nice bonus I found a new band. King Cannons was the second opening act, and they were so much better than the emo wannabe first band. They have a rockabilly sound, and got instant cool points for their dapper hats, and the fact that they used bongos and a harmonica. Plus they sound pretty good too! :3

~ Finished inFAMOUS 2's good story line last week.

*slow clap*

Well played Sucker Punch, well bloody played. I was not expecting that choice at the end. AND YOU BASTARDS FOR WHAT HAPPENED! D: I do want to go back through the "evil" storyline, but it's gonna be a while before I get time for that. Arkham Asylum City comes out next week after all!

~ I WON A KRE-O KIT! :D A couple of weeks ago Hasbro Australia launched a Kre-O website and they've been offering prizes for top scorers on the games there. And I got 3rd place on the Prime Defence game while I was down in Melbourne! :D It's been bumped off by now, but the important thing was I had a high score at the right time! :D My Mirage kit (finally) arrived earlier this week. So I now has 4 Kreons; Bumblebee, Red Alert, Mirage and Botcon/SDCC Matrix Prime. :3

( ~ I was going to do a photocomic to say that I won the Mirage Kre-O, but it wasn't really working too well. So have one of the frames of what Kreons I have with their respective counterparts. )

~ Would you belive I hadn't opened Classics Mirage before that photoshoot? I know, I'm a horrible Transformers parent, leaving a fair amount of my 'bots in their plastic prisons over the last few years. In my defense, I'd rather they be safe and protected in there than not displayed properly out in the elements. But that's not the point of this...point. The point is that Mirage is an absolutely gorgeous piece of toy design and engineering. I had no idea how stunning this toy was. The amount of movement, not to mention the sheer range that Mirage has is just astounding. He's simply glorious. *_*

~ I am so not looking forward to Summer. We've already had some 30°C+ days and it's only the middle of Spring. Meep. D: I had to laugh at the recent "heat wave" in the UK though, of 29°C days. I know it's all relative to what the weather is usually like in that area and what the people are used to, but come back when you have to put up with 40°C+ with something like 70% or more humidity. (sorry loolaa x3 )

( ~ And to finish, to make up for the failed comic, have Kreon Bumblebee riding Bumblesweet. )

And now the downside of coming back from a holiday. All the stuff you have to catch upon. Helllooooooo two weeks worth of friend posts. >_>

'Kay, someone tell me I'm not the only person who's started doing this...

*doo de doo, browsing bookstores, lalala, oh this looks nice, hmm, interesting blurb, let's go back and get a closer look at the front*

"Endorsed by Stephenie Meyer! :D"

GAH! D: *drops book like it was hot coals*

So I just got back from seeing Captain America.

I AM SO FREAKING EXCITE FOR AVENGERS THIS CANNOT BE GOOD!

:D

So in my random internet boredom trawlings tonight, I came across this little nugget:

"Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon have brought Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form on to produce the next film that reboots the film series."

Noooooo! No nono no nonooo nononononononononono! There's so many reasons for Do Not Want. D:

1) You've already had one movie series based on an 80s nostalgia fueled cartoon series to play with Bay, get your hands away from the Turtles. As much as I love the live action Transformer movies, I will be perfectly content if Bay never comes near that franchise ever again.
2) Like Transformers the subject of TMNT as a whole is pretty darn silly. Giant Alien Robots that Turn Into Cars makes about as much sense as Giant Terrapins That Know Martial Arts. But just because the subject matter can be seen as silly doesn't mean it shouldn't be handled with respect. Unlike Transformers, TMNT has had live action movies done before, and pretty darn well done at that (studio meddling to make them less dark as the franchise went on aside).
3) I do not want to see a TMNT movie about the freaking US military trying to either capture or fight alongside (and completely overshadow) the characters the movie is NAMED AFTER.
4) While I don't particularly mind the way the 80s TMNT movie series evolved (and took on a decidedly less serious tone as they went on {Ninja Rap ftw!}), I would like to keep the seriousness that they tried to re-install with the 2007 CGI movie please. They are freaking ninja and have Very Deadly Weapons that they use in Very Dangerous Fights.
5) And on the fact that they are ninja, that means that there is a tendancy towards the silent and stealthy approach. There should be no asplosions to save you here. But I can't shake this feeling that that doesn't mean you won't try. -_-



In other more excitement news, time off for Living End approved, and concert tickets purchased. All that's left is the flights. :D

OH COME ON! Two days out and the movie gets spoilered for me by THE RADIO STATION?! Why did they need to put that kind of sound byte in the competition ad anyway? D:

Just got a phonecall this morning, asking if I could come in to work all day. Not normally a problem, except for one little thing today...I went on holidays yesterday and have a plane to catch this afternoon. xD Le sigh.

So before I go to New Zealand (and meet Shades and see TF3 with her, yay! :D ), ( have a little bit of sillyness. )
