Set your blenders to blend as this post contains a bit of everything!

As some of you may or may not have known I’ve been rewarded with chickenpox. I’m happy to report that at this moment my immune system is happily beating the #*@$ out of it and that makes me feel a whole lot happier than I did about a week ago. Take that virus strain, SHORYUKEN! Thanks to everyone for offering advice and whatnot. A special note to Sharon, oranges and lemons are good, very good for you actually. Moving on.

I successfully waited in line for boxing day for absolutely nothing! Ok, I was there out of interest and for company sakes to Andrew. It was one of those things that I was curious about and now it’s checked off the list. Maybe next time I’ll actually make a purchase. I do have pictures, but since my cell phone USB cord is back home, they just aren’t happening right now. Just imagine lots of people in line and it being dark and cold and you got it covered. As a closing story, when I worked at FutureShop, the first guy in the line up on boxing day bought nothing, loser. The first guy in this line up apparently bought a picture frame, loser. That is all.

I still don’t have it. I think to save you all another tear filled drama I’ll just let Sanya summarise the problem, and I left a comment in there somewhere.

I’d like to take this moment to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It’s more so the holiday that I look forward to because I get to see a bunch of friends and genuinely have a good time. I like to pretend it’s relaxing too, but a survey of previous feelings on January the 1st would suggest otherwise. Activities for this year are to be announced, but I’m somehow positive we’re going to outdo the previous year. Even though a mer e mortal man that task should be impossible. But the main point here is still HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ok, New Years resolutions time. Did I mention I’ve never actually made any before? Because I thought they were silly? Well, here we go anyway:

1. By this time next year I will own it (Digital Rebel XT). Or its upgrade (Digital Rebel XTi). Or something that is better and cheaper(DSLR ???). Seriously, I’m not waiting 4 years.

2. I will get an 80+ in at least 3 classes in each of my two semesters. Shouldn’t be that hard if I just implement a monkey to taser me into studying. Go monkey go!

3. So I don’t think it’s a far stretch that I can weigh under 200lbs again or in a better measurement system 90kg. That would probably be nice. I refuse to just run for fun though. It’s not fun!

4. Be a man. Do the right thing! Russel Peters has used it in a skit. And Andrew keeps telling me to do so. Once I figure out what, I’m sure it’ll be a good plan.

There, only 4. That’s all I’m willing to resolve to do. I’m sure I’ll do more, but failing these 4 will be considered a complete failure.

Akismet has now stopped 1,044 spam comments here. Imagine how lively my blog would seem with that many more comments. Than I would also be some kind of zen master of all things viagra, porn, celebrity, cheap, software, friends, adult friends, interesting blogs, and whatever else they’re offering. You know, including this sentence is probably going to gain me at least another 50 of those comments.

In closing. All the best to everyone, except the tall kid in the front. Stop blocking everyone behind you! Have a fun next few days and I’ll see you all back in 2008. The year we’ll all be one year older and still complaining about it. Jaa ne.

…so, suggestions?

Given the exam period and a positive response to the theme. This just belonged.

Mister Splashy Pants is the winner by a nautical mile!

It seems like the world couldn’t get enough of Mister Splashy Pants with many websites encouraging their readers to vote for ‘Splashy’. And as we all know, once the wonderful world of the internet got hold of Mister Splashy Pants, it was all over bar the final splash.

Mister Splashy Pants got a huge 119,367 votes (over 78 percent of the vote) with his nearest rival being Humphrey at 4,329 (less than 3 percent). The rest of the top ten were Aiko, Libertad, Mira, Kaimana, Aurora, Shanti, Amal and Manami.

Excellent.

It snowed quite a bit here recently.
For some reason at 2am last night while talking to Andrew and Sanya I failed to purge the idea of really wanting to go out and go for a walk in the snow.
Sanya has mentioned that I may be more crazy then she is. We’ve also created a theory that I might really be a bear.
Andrew just thinks I’m insane.
Here’s something for you to listen to while you browse:
If you’re into very nice vocal, Puccini - O Mio Babbino Caro or if you’re more into electronic/dance, Armin Van Buren - Serenity.

Taking a look outside it was snowing and rather cold, but since I couldn’t purge this idea I may as well do it right…

Ok feet, I hope you like your lack of winter shoes. Good thing it was below zero so nothing was wet or melting. Let’s get walking!

Lights of the fast food plaza. No thanks to that. I do like the tracks in the snow — I always wonder who left that.

I also really like pine trees. Probably more so then deciduous trees. Especially, obviously, in winter. I really liked this setting. If maybe someone was around that bench could make a fun seat.

This is what I really love though. There is a path here. There is also a road here. There is even a train track here. But you can’t tell can you? Neither can I.

More of unknown tracks. Ok I lied, I saw one of the cars that made them. It was amusing because I was walking in the middle of the road and it’s hard to hear cars in snow with a hood on. True story.

Sup. One of a few pictures of myself that I don’t want to go POOF!

Since no trip is complete without snow art and I wasn’t in the mood for snowmen; I give you the alternative. Have some <3 from Moo. In case you're into that whole angle and position thing you get two pictures.

Are you joking me? You actually thought I wasn’t just going to flop into the snow? LOL, please.

I was walking along, then I decided to just take off and fly.

The night must have at least one artificial sun.

Interesting looking pictures or me getting snow into the pocket where my camera phone was. You decide.

What do we leave behind?

This is where I started. Probably some 30 minutes ago. I guess to answer the last question in about another 30 minutes, not much.

There was an elaborate drawing on that paper there. Which was really my Economics project. But since none of it came through to the picture I improvised quickly and badly.

Early Gray and a Mint Tea from the foothills of a volcano, beat that!

That was fun!

Tell me what you think. Tell me if you’ve had any weird ideas recently? Did you do them? Why not?!
