Quietly thinking

So have been thinking about my dear old blog here.

Am in two minds on whether "The Weeklies" should stay or not? Not sure if anyone actually reads them or not or whether its just me bleating on. In saying that this whole blog is really just me bleating on huh lol.

In all honesty the reason I have this thing is so I get thoughts out of my head and I guess pretend that I have a whole audience to talk to. Yes I can hear some of you now and I thank you family and friends that actually read this blog, It's nice to know people care enough to read it and support me :).

Again it comes back down to where to go from here though. I'm quite happy with writing down my random thoughts and opinions about things I find etc and I guess at the very least 30 of you are happy to read it (Well at least thats the average the stats are telling me. Random fact, the most read post on this blog was my one about "Dear Photograph". It has had 80 so far).

So what do you think? Any thoughts/suggestions. Likes or dislikes? Honesty is always welcome :).

The Weeklies Number 4 (Technically Fortnightly)

This Week - 14/04/12 till 28/04/12
Well I don't know about you but I'm a tad tired. It's been a full on 2 weeks of fun with the V8's and moving house plus having work and Miss Midget.
My highlight of the week was - Definitely the V8's and INXS, as you saw from my previous post about my petrol head weekend we had lots of fun.
My low point of the week was - Packing boxes :( and Miss Midget getting a tad out of whack due to all the changes. Getting better though. having a quiet weekend to get a routine going now.


My favourite time wasting device or application was - Haven't really had a chance to time waste lately with everything thats been happening :(


My favourite website this week was - No stand out favourites this fortnight. Haven't had time to go exploring :(.
My favouritte article this fortnight goes to this beauty - Nanny Pam you'll love this one :)


My favourite song this week - Ok so I'm admitting to it I liked Carly Rae Jepsen's song "Call Me Baby", I got it stuck in my head and can't get it out :(


My favourite photo - This one was taken back March by our lovely childcare lady Nanny Pam. I stuck it on Instagram the other day and had a play with the filters and this is what I came up with. Pretty cool I thought :)

My favourite saying -
 

Things to look forward to in the week to come - Being able to get settled again properly. Yay to having space again :).

Well thats that. Done and dusted for another week :)


Feel free to tell me what you think, Anything you would recommend and stuff like that.

The Weeklies Number 3

This Week - 07/04/12 till 13/04/12

Well it's that time again.

My highlight of the week was - Playing with the Bubble Snake Maker with Miss Midget over the long weekend. Lots of fun seeing the different ways we could squish the bubbles. She seemed to enjoy when both myself and her would jump on one end of the bubbles each and squish them in our toes :).
Also car passing a warrant on Wednesday was pretty good

My low point of the week was - Trying to figure out when I'm moving and when I can give me car up and doing a over all juggling act.

My favourite time wasting device or application was - Still stuck on DragonVale. In saying that i have found it interesting to go back and check my guide on Snapguide and see how many likes and views I've had - 405 views and 57 people like the guide :).


My favourite website this week was - I actually haven't spent that much time on the internet this week. I haven't been home trawling the web like I normally would :).
This week I decided to pick Twitter. I have lots of fun on this site. Especially on Wednesday nights when watching Almighty Johnsons on TV3. This is fun for a few reason - 1) because if you use twitter right you can end up in a conversation with lots of people watching the same thing. It's like being with your mates, everyone quoting one liners from the show and just generally enjoying the show.
2) I follow some of the stars and the Producer/Director of the show as well as a few behind the scenes info which is really cool. You can end up in a conversation with them as well which is always funny to. My little buzz from a couple of weeks ago was when Simon Bennett (The Producer) started following me back :).

Ok I can hear you all now thinking "God your a geek" - Well yes I am and anyone who has spent anytime with me will know that I'm good with useless information and even more so  with useless information about TV and Movies so to have Simon following me is rather cool and to be able to repeat some of the info from the Almighty Johnson Twitter Sessions is pretty cool to lol.

My favourite song this week (New) - Babysittesr Circus - Everythings gonna be alright :) Click here to watch the video. It's such a awesome song and I really like the way they have done the video :) - The making of it is pretty cool to (click here to watch that)

My favourite photo -

I think this photo speaks for itsef :)

Saying of the week -

 Things to look forward to in the week to come (New) - So next weekend I'm heading down to Hamilton to the V8 Super Cars. Should be a good weekend. It's also a Miss Midget free weekend as she will be with her Nanny J so watch out Waikato :).
Oh and also INXS are playing as part of the weekends festivities so fully looking forward that as well :). Awesome cars, Good Music and fingers crossed for fine weather. Which brings me to Next Weeks "Weeklies" may either be early as in on Thursday or extremely late and on the Monday. We'll see how we go. We also having moving day in there somewhere. So if you don't hear from me don't worry I promise I'll be back at the very latest by the 27th (Could make the next "Weeklies" a one off "Fortnight-lies"

Well thats that. Done and dusted for another week :)

Feel free to tell me what you think, Anything you would recommend and stuff like that.

So will post something later on but till then have a good weekend :)

Follow on from Weeklies Number 2

Ok so I wasn't very descriptive the other day when I posted My weeklies and told you about my time wasting apps. For those who care here they are again :)

Favourite Games are DragonVale and Slotomania. will post links to them at some stage soon :).

DragonVale is a game that asks you to breed Dragons and try and get the rare ones. You can feed them (you don't have to) and they will go up levels.  You can also send them to the Colosseum for 24hrs where they earn you trophy's I'm a big fan of these types of games. Yes I don't stick with one game generally for very long as they get a bit boring after awhile and you get to high up in levels and it takes a eternity for you to be able to do anything. This one might last awhile though due to my small Dragon fascination. We'll see how it goes.

 
Slotomania. This game is pretty much your run of the mill slots game. The only reason I have been playing it is because I have a few friends and we're in a little bit of a competition with it. The bonus games do require a little bit of brain power occasionally but mainly this game is all about being lucky :). The thing I like about this game is you don't need a iPhone to play it either you can play it via your Facebook if you wanted to.


                                         

Enough of me rambling. Time for a chill out before Miss Midget wakes up :)

The Weeklies - Number 2

This Week - 31/03/12 till 06/04/12

Well it's that time again.

My highlight of the week was - Doing puzzles on my bed with Miss Midget. She's rather cleaver at doing them to and continuously surprises me when it comes to completing them :).

Also a added bonus this week of Friday being cleverly disguised as Saturday.

My low point of the week was - Waking up at 5:30am on Monday thinking it was close to get up time - Stupid daylights savings stuffing up my body clock and Miss Midgets

My favourite time wasting device or application was - Ok so I have been playing games this week, Favourite Games are DragonVale and Slotomania. will post links to them at some stage soon :).
My favourite website this week was - Ok so not so much the whole website (As I haven't had a chance to go through it properly yet but this section - Bad Baby Products is hilarious. I especially like the ChocoHead Edible Baby Helmet.
I have also stumbled upon this link which I think is rather hilarious I found these links through this blog

My favourite photo -

This photo is gorgeous. Another pinterest find.

This also leads me to wonder whether Blue Roses actually exist or whether people are just really good at photoshopping them :)

Saying of the week -

Well thats that. Done and dusted for another week :)

Feel free to tell me what you think, Anything you would recommend and stuff like that.

So will post something later on but till then have a good weekend :)

Ok so I'm getting carried away tonight

I know I've already posted a website tonight and I know I'll probably need to find another one by Friday but this site is pretty cool and appears to be my find of the weekend.
www.snapguide.com - This site I discovered on Saturday which I thought was handy as it'd give me the whole week to play with it, that is until I decided to post about it tonight :)

I was flicking through the Apple App Store featured apps yesterday on my phone and came across this, downloaded the app and then figured out it had a website from there.

It's pretty cool. Basically it's a place to find how to guides. So if you arts and crafts etc this could end up being the reference site for you. It works like this - You get your idea. Take photos step by step and then put the pictures and the steps in the website. Another simple yet pretty cool concept.

It to begin with reminded me a little of Pinterest but this doesn't take you through to the source website as all the instructions are right there. You can however link your "Guide" back to Pinterest and Twitter and Facebook which is pretty cool.

I was picking that its a pretty new site and read on just before that it only went live just over 24hrs ago so yeah as I said theres not a lot on there but this site in my opinion is going to be one to keep an eye on :).

So far I have found what looks like a really yummy recipe for cookies and cream cookies , Will keep you posted on any other gems I find :)

The Weeklies - Number 1

This Week - 24/03/12 till 30/03/12

Welcome to the first of "The Weeklies" :)
So here we go :)

My highlight of the week was - Lying down with Miss Midget on her bed reading stories before bed was pretty cool this week. We are very lucky Missy enjoys reading and her books :).

My low point of the week was - Being exhausted wasn't fun. Almost fell asleep on the couch yesterday afternoon :(.

My favourite time wasting device or application was - Star View And Star View Free - awesome application and actually educational :). Basically it works by using your phone/ipod/ipad whatever as the telescope. You point it round the sky and it will tell you what the planets and stars are called. The paid for App shows a few more statelites and shows you the planets. I'm dying to take it camping with me as it shows you the constellations and things as well. Yes I know this app is very nerdy but it's pretty cool all the same lol.




My favourite website this week was - Stuff.co.nz - This is one of my favourite news sites. It is one of my must reads in the mornings. Normally scan the headlines, national news and entertainment sections. Have been reading the technology section to (Yeah I really am a big geek huh, this does explain rather a lot about my high school experience but thats a whole different story lol).

So go check it out. The Oddstuff section can be quite amusing to :).

My favourite photo -

I'm loving this photo at the moment. Yeah I know it was more for last week than it was this week (Yay for good weather this week).



Saying of the week - So my saying of this week has been :)

Well thats it. Feel free to tell me what you think, Anything you would recommend and stuff like that.

So will post something later on but till then have a good weekend :)

I have had an idea :)

Yes an idea, most probably not a great idea and I'm pretty sure it's been done before to death but oh well I'm sure I'll soon get told :).

I have been thinking about something that would be good to do at least once a week.
So have thought of a post called "The Weeklies"
This would incorporate my -
Highlight of the week was,
Low point of the week was,

Favourite time wasting device or application was
Favourite website this week was, 

Favourite photo (whether it's mine or someone elses) -
Saying of the week -  

That sort of thing,  That way I can  update the blog semi regularly etc :).


Whether thats something you guys are interested in I dunno.
It's most probably the lamest idea but oh well we'll run with it for now, I'm happy being lame lol :)

So we'll see how we go and if people read it and go from there.
If you have any ideas please feel free to let me know :).


Will try and do one every Friday :)
