a Few More of those Favourite Things
Haven't posted any "real" blog stuff in a while, so I might as well do a list post. Here's what's keeping me going right meow:
Tim Horton's coffee and donuts are a Canadian staple. I love my double-doubles, sour cream glazed, chocolate glazed, maple dips, and turkey clubs. Unfortunately I can't get those in Singapore. I'm trying to do the math on how many Tim Bits (donut holes) I'll need to buy in Vancouver for my flight to Shanghai.
McDonald's Dollar Drink Days are one of the first signs of summer. As terrible as it may be, I love going into the drive-thru and coming out with a large Diet Coke for a little bit of spare change. I'm in at least four times a week. I may have an addiction.
Adele, particularly her song Rolling in the Deep, is one of my go-to summer playlist favourites. Even better are the amount of great covers of her material, so I can have multiples of the same song on my playlist and sing to each one. Also, I finally figured out what all the background singers' lines are. Victory!
Roller Coaster Tycoon became one of my favourite games the moment I started playing it. I recently reinstalled it on my family PC and have been glued to that machine ever since. My only problem is that I tend to make the rides "too intense" so no-one will go on them. Boo on you, wussy AI.
Living on an island and being able to hit the beach and the fact that it is finally hot outside. I love beach combing, suntanning, swimming, having bonfires, and all that good outdoor summer seaside stuff. Thankfully my next move will be to a tropical island. I might have plotted this in advance.

*sigh* we never did get to a Tim Horton's. I would have liked to...
ReplyDeletewell, you have a reason to come back then! or apparently you can get it in Scotland and the Republic of Ireland. at Tesco! so strange.
ReplyDeleteLove Adele and Roller Coaster Tycoon. My favorites this month? Doctor Who, iced coffee, and Hanging with Friends.
ReplyDeleteWith my Dad, years ago, after winding down out of mountain backroads, perhaps into Penticton, we stopped for cherry pie at a Tim Horton's. And coffee, sure. I inhaled that cherry pie. Dad remarked he'd never seen me eat so fast. Am usually last to finish, at every family meal. I'm a savour'er :D
ReplyDeleteAlso love Adele.
And barnacles. Saturday grocery shopping at Superstore - seafood section - live oysters in flooded basins sometimes carry hitchiker barnacles, alive, waving feathery feet.
@Annie, not Words with Friends? hah, still haven't tried that one out.
ReplyDelete@Burndtree, barnacles are pretty cool to watch when they're actually alive and submerged. i can't remember, but i think that rock is in my room somewhere...
