My Geek Confessions

Recently Mariko AKA Gamerwife decided to share some of her "Geeky Confessions" with the world which has spurred a whole bunch of other bloggers to do the same so now it's my turn to confess. People tend to lump us geeks all in one box thinking we're all into the exact same things but it's just not the case, so here are a few of my confessions....

Games are just not my thing, I mean I used to game a lot but I was never really skilled at it and it was mostly just a social thing I did with friends. I don't really have much interest in gaming now, my Wii and DS just seem to be gathering dust, to be honest I'd much rather spend my money and free time reading more comics.

I don't I'm sorry, I think they're cute and everything but I think I missed the boat when it came to the Pokémon hype. I've never seen the cartoon although I did very briefly play Pokémon Red but I just don't get it.

There I said it and people always seem super shocked when I say this but I don't like Harry Potter and yes I gave it a chance and I've watched all the movies more than once but meh it's just not my thing...

This is perhaps more shameful when I tell you I have a degree in English Literature... I know! We never studied Tolkien in school and despite loving the movies and a friend lending me the books I never really had any interest in reading them but one day I'll try reading them... maybe.

Be sure to lcheck out Mariko's original post & let me know in the comments what your geek confessions are

Hajime Robot Restaurant

Hajime Robot Restaurant is hands down one of the most fun restaurants I've ever been to. I'm a big fan of shabu-shabu and sushi especially when it's all you can eat but this restaurant is unlike the rest as it comes with the added bonus of a cute robot waiter that brings your food, how cool is that!?

What is your dream restaurant? Be sure to let me know in the comments

Hello Kitty Haul

Every time I go back to Thailand my obsession with Hello Kitty goes to the extreme and this year it got all kinds of crazy with opening of the official Hello Kitty House in Bangkok. I was lucky enough to visit the Hello Kitty House a few times, although despite having a membership the queues were just too long for us to eat there so I only got the chance to get a drink at the outside bar and I actually bought most of my Hello Kitty goodies at Central's Sanrio department as they had a much better and larger selection of merchandise but hopefully once the Hello Kitty House has been open a while and they've had a chance to iron out all the kinks I'll have a better experience there but in the meantime I have a whole pile of kitty goodies to keep me amused until my next trip!

Woodland Walkies

One of the things I missed whilst I was in Thailand was my woodland walks with The Russ Pup but now I'm back in the U.K. we can spent some quality walk time together and catch up on some much needed cuddles. Sunny days are limited now Autumn is on its way and as much as I'll miss the summer I can't wait to see the trees turn rich and golden, Russ and I are going to have a lot of leaves to kick around very soon!
