Extortionate

Today is Jen's Birthday, she sent me a text to tell me that, amongst other things her Dad bought her 9 necklaces. NINE. That seems extortionate to me.
She brought me the first 3 chapters of her book in as well, I'm the only person apart from her to have read more than the first page. It's promising.

My sister, Hazel, was in a hover craft, design and making, competition today and although she didn't win she had a great time. It made me thing though, we should so have mini hovercraft scooters by now. While she was out she also made use of the drinks on offer and pilfered me 3 cans of coke. Well she would have drunk it herself if she wasn't so concious about her braces. :)

A very happy update on the Parrot Stories front.

"from nerimon :
haha, the one at the top left with the guy with the microphone is great! I'd like to see it in colour, pink plume and brown leather, and some kind of coloured swirl coming out of the mic maybe? But yeah it's awesome <3"

Epic happy. I'll get round to doing that soon then, and even if, in the end he doesn't use it it will not matter because I'll be happy.

This week I have to film my video for 'hazelizabeth' in silence because Hazel's camera has no sound and therefore I'm pretending to share her pain. What a pain it is!

While I was in the shower tonight I was thinking about the TV show 'Hustle' and how, ever since the first series, I've loved it. I think I'm getting a bit too good for it as I guessed the plan last week. I'll have to see tomorrow if I'm still as on the ball.

I felt today was good in events and blogging.

Over and out.

Everyday I love you less and less

Why do I have nothing to say today?
I was hoping that I would.
But not much happened and I refuse to do a quiz.
Blargh.

I'll listen to Adam and Joe instead.

Edit, I sent these on to Alex today...
I hope he likes them.

Enthusiasm

I'm surprised as to how little time it has taken me to get completely used to Google Chrome as a browser.
I found it difficult to locate a new tab on IE today because it was almost half way down the screen compared to really nicely at the TOP.

Looking through my old emails today there was a link from my Mum to a YouTube video by Adam Buxton, before I ever even listened to his show on 6 Music!

Also found this
"Pythagorus' Theorem 24 words
The Lord's Prayer 66 words
Archimedes' Principle 67 words
Ten Commandments 179 words
Gettysburg Address 286 words
The new European Rules on the sale of cabbages 26,253 words"

Mental!

Jon Richardson talked about Geeks and Nerds on the radio this morning :)

Oh and Tony Hart has died.
He was so cool.
I mean. MORPH!
Eeeeeh.


OHHH, I've been asked to be an editor for Jen's book.
I hope I'm up to the challenge.

Winter's Tale fail = me.
I can do it...
I've done some but it's going to be unfinished by the end of today.
Might as well give it up as enough for today then go and read?

Yeah!

Electric

To start today's blog I'd like to say go watch this. It's Hazel's video for this week and it's grooooovy.

I woke up this morning really really happy, at 10.
Oh the joy of waking up without an alarm.

I also sent this photo to Alex Day today (Nerimon) as I had doodled it on Friday with his upcoming album in mind.


Since then I drew this as a template based on Alex's internal thoughts.


This evening I went to see Stephen K Amos



He was absolutely amazingly hilarious, at one point, because we were in a theatre he found some sweets and through them out.

The warm up was some Geordie dude called Chris who reminded me in almost every aspect of Toddy from school.

A guy from our school called Giacamo was in the front row and was the source of some hilarity.

OHHHH Man.

"Oooooo Baby do you know what that's worth, OOOoo Heaven is a place on Earth"

Not sure how that lyric got into my head but now it is written hopefully it will leave.

G'night darlings.

Encore



I woke up feeling proper off today, again.
Jen was back in. All is good.
All people are talking about is the fancy dress tomorrow night.
Caitlin and I cooked tea tonight before going to the see the panto.
I almost wet myself.

"And Mr. Murray lent me these tights"
Eeeeeeh.
You'd have to be there.

Well.
I have many many things I should write about.
I think them but am never available to write them.
I'll have to amend that.
In the mean time.

NIGHT

^_^
