Not gonna lie, Toy Story 3 was my most anticipated movie of 2010. Of course I saw it on the Australian release date, and to quote myself on Facebook, “I have no words for how awesome it was. All I have is keyboard smash: FJASDKLFHASDKL;”. Certainly, it’s the best animated film of all time, and among the very best of 2010. I can’t name any flaws. Basically? It was epic, and I think it was a great way to end (?) the series.
I also re-watched Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in preparation, and you know what? I lied when I said Up was the best thing Pixar has done so far. It’s been quite a few years since I’d seen any of the Toy Story franchise, and I’d forgotten how good it is. By the the third instalment, I’d grown so attached to these characters, and the ending was a bit emotional. I was definitely more attached to Woody and the gang than I ever was to my own toys, I don’t know why.
So! Now that I’ve seen it, this means that Cars is once again the only Pixar movie I haven’t seen. I don’t know, it just seems a bit kiddy, and I wasn’t much of a fan of Finding Nemo for that reason. But a sequel is going to be released next year, so ugh. Someone tell me if it’s worth watching, or something!

Yeah, I haven’t blogged in quite a while! I don’t have much of a life at the moment. What with leaving all my work until the last minute, my busy weeks, and the fact that all I want to do is sleep, I haven’t been around as much as usual. However! My busy weeks at work are subsiding, and I finish exams and assessments early next week, so all will be right in the world very soon. Now, onto tonight’s entry!
That right there? That’s a packet of BeanBoozled jelly beans. When a co-worker brought them into work, I thought they seemed very cool. Not as cool as Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans would be, of course (although Wikipedia tells me that Jelly Belly have their own product with the same name), but they work like this:
- Purple can be plum or black pepper
- Green can be juicy pear or booger
- Yellow can be popcorn or mouldy cheese
- Orange can be peach or vomit
Et cetera. Sounds pretty fun, right? Well, I thought so at first. I often got the “bad” flavours, but they usually at least semi-palatable. Pepper is fine, and booger tasted like grass in lolly form, but then I got a rotten egg flavoured bean. Which made me dry retch. I was this close to vomiting at work. And then I dared try another yellow bean, and almost threw up again.
They seem cool at first, but I’m scared of them now, and I’ll never look at jelly beans the same way again. When did eating jelly beans become a game of Russian roulette?
