Hey, Americans ...

Do you ever use forms of cliché other than plain old cliché? Such as clichéd or clichés? I see it used in a manner that I would consider wrong so often that I am wondering if it is one of those wacky idioms that English develops up all around the world. Or it could just be young people today with their emo music and Twittering ...

You know, we do a lot of stupid things differently here. Many embarrassing, facepalm worthy things. Sometimes I think I stay living here for the laughs I get over our awesome stupidity at times.

Wow. Can't say I've got that, or an Ipod.

It's what happens when you burn your old David Bowie CDs to the pod, then realise that you quite like Under Pressure, then have a little giggle about Radio Gaga, then suddenly remember how much you perversely liked Barcelona with Monserat Caballe guest-vocals ... Before you know it, dodgy purchases have been made ;-)

I approve of these dodgy purchases.

The last splurge purchase I made happened in Victoria Secret. And, you know? I didn't get a single piece of lingerie.

And like I told my mother, now my bedroom smells like a brothel. \o/

I do not know what they sell, aside from bras, and half of my brain now believes you brought home a selection of young men. Though I did just have a book fall onto my head ...

Damn, that would have been the best $30 dollar purchase ever! I should have hunted around the store harder.

I actually bought some new perfume. It does smell good, but when you combine the perfume with the room freshener spray I got from Yankee Candle, well...Brothel-licious.

I bet the salesgirls would have hidden them for their own use ;-)

And how does your mother know what a brothel smells like, I ask?
