Tuesday October 14th, 2008 09:38 Meme Time. Three for Three.

The lovely Mel and Jaz both tagged me to do the Three For Three meme.

I love a good meme as it means I don’t have to think about what to write, so here goes…

Favorite non-work Websites

1. The Daily Mail
I confess, I love reading the Mail every day. I’d never pay for the paper (or even be seen with it) but the website is my dirty little secret. It infuriates the hell out of me, but it also makes me feel much better about myself as a human being. There’s nothing like some futile NIMBY outrage to get your blood boiling.

2. GraphJam
The people behind lolcats bring us more stupid memes, this time silly graphs about all kinds of random stuff. I’m particularly loving this one at the moment. The internet imploded when they did a graph about Rick Astley.

3. SomeeCards
I wish I had the guts to send more of these to people. Right now, there are only two or three people I know who I’m confident would get the joke.

Favorite cocktails

1. Bellini
I’ve discovered you can make these cheaply if you a) hang out at a lot of fashion events and b) live near a Lidl. Lidl sell peach juice (unlike any tesco friggin’ local, which don’t even seem to sell bread most of the time) and fashion people have a tendency to give you little bottles of champagne in goodie bags. Mix the two, et voila. On holiday in Corfu they made their Bellinis with apricot brandy, which was even better, if a little more headache inducing.

2. Amaretto Fizz
Tastes like Refreshers sweets. Fact.

3. Strawberry Daquiri
I like them with fresh strawberries and a tiny bit of lime juice for a kick.

Favorite karaoke songs

1. Hold On by Wilson Phillips
This wasn’t on the list at K-box, which saddened me. Who doesn’t want to do their best Carnie Wilson impression (minus gastric band) while trying to mumble the words (and the harmonies) after too many glasses of Pinot Grigio. Just me? Oh well…

2. I Just Can’t Wait To Be King from The Lion King
Trust me, if you’d heard my colleagues Zara and Duncan singing this, you’d agree.

3. Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks
Have you see School of Rock? Yeah. I wish I was Joan Cusack.

And I tag Amber, Keris and Alex.

    Ooooh! Someecards! Good one. I love love love that site. Came up with my own and e-mailed it to them, but have yet to see it surface.

    “Now that I’ve quit my job, I’m drinking for all the right reasons!”

    And Stevie Nicks. Also golden.

    Haha, Daily mail is such a dirty secret, that’s very funny.

    And Lion King is an amazing karaoke choice, nice work!

    I’m one of those three friends, yeh? Good-o!
