It's 12.53am and the neighbours are bouncing a basketball outside in the corridor. It's just a little irritating. But I also think there are better places for them to play basketball. Even though it's 1am in the morning. But just not outside my apartment.

=Will bore you with events of the day because I am not in a thinking mood. ("How can you be too tired to think?! It requires less energy than clicking your mouse!")=

Today I wanted to get a smoothie and there was avocado snow, avocado banana, mango, berries, and strawberry orange on the menu. Because it was late, they only had avocado snow and avocado banana left, so I picked avocado banana, with the little voice in my head protesting: "Avocado doesn't go with banana, much less in a smoothie! Avocado is only for guacamole and california rolls; having an avocado banana would put you off avocado FOREVER."

But I went ahead and bought it. And asked for sugar.

Guess what? It was awesome! I didn't expect it to taste so good. (And it kind of made me feel better because I had convinced myself the fruit in it was good for me. Even though they only used half a banana, and put in sugar and milk.) The texture's a lot smoother than the smoothies from Boost (an australian juice shop) or even dairy queen. Whenever I get smoothies from these places, the straw always makes an indentation in the ice, and all you can suck is what's under the straw, and you end up with a slushy drink with a lot of holes. When I drank the avocado banana smoothie, I didn't have to poke the straw around at all, and everything went up smoothly.

With the avocado, you don't have the grey colouring you get from a banana milkshake, and the avocado neutralises the bitter aftertaste of oxidised banana. The overall smoothie colour was pea green, which was quite interesting. But smoothies are satisfying, especially when it's hot. (it's so hot that I could sweat while sitting down and not moving.)

And it made my day. (I'm very easily satisfied)

So go out and get a smoothie. Or something cold, sweet, and smooth. Because it will make your day :D
