Ow, and then ow some more..

Flippin heck, that was pleasant.

I woke up this morning with what felt like the hangover from hell, splitting headache and decidedly nauseous, which sucks given that I don’t actually drink! It’s entirely possible that it was down to something I ate yesterday, or possibly (shudders to think) down to me breathing in something unpleasant from our boiler which had been on the frizz for a couple of days. Thankfully it’s been serviced today but I’d rather not consider the potential implications if that was the case…

Anyway, suffice to say having got up about 10, taken lots of lovely drugs and gone back to bed I eventually resurfaced about 2:30 to lots more lovely snow and stuff. So, pic of the day then.

A little bit of winter…

I know Windows is awful. Everyone knows Windows is awful. Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it’s there, and there’s nothing you can do about it. OK, OK: I know other operating systems are available. But their advocates seem even creepier, snootier and more insistent than Mac owners. The harder they try to convince me, the more I’m repelled. To them, I’m a sheep. And they’re right. I’m a helpless, stupid, lazy sheep. I’m also a masochist. And that’s why I continue to use Windows – horrible Windows – even though I hate every second of it. It’s grim, it’s slow, everything’s badly designed and nothing really works properly: using Windows is like living in a communist bloc nation circa 1981. And I wouldn’t change it for the world, because I’m an abject bloody idiot and I hate myself, and this is what I deserve: to be sentenced to Windows for life.

Shape of my Heart

As a nipper I was well into magic, and a friend of mine is a professional magician too so it’s fair to say I have a pretty good understanding of the techniques involved in manipulating cards etc. but watching this routine, which utilises just about every shuffle and pass in the book blew me away.
Be sure to watch and listen carefully to the song too and you’ll realise just how good he is..
