I think this would be a great idea. I’m sure I’m not alone in making silly faces and gestures when looking in a mirror (assuming no-one else is around).
At least I hope I’m not alone, I don’t think I’m that weird.
Actually I don’t think I’m weird at all.
But yeah I think Mirror cam has great potential to be funny.
Honest
Try some faces out for yourself, its a simple and cheap way to lighten up your day.
And if that doesn’t sound like a good advertising campaign then I don’t know what does.
I woke the morning with my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground. Yes, like most people I enjoy a good stretch before I get up.
As I was brushing my teeth the idea for the character ‘Bob the seedy macgician’ came to me in the form of this sketch: (btw if this makes little sense it’s the first time I’ve tried to write something like this)
Scene: Bob is chatting to a woman, trying to chat her up. Location: Largely unimportant, lets say the middle of an empty field for the possible comic value
Bob: So do you come here often?
Woman: All the time, I love it here.
Bob: I’m a magician you know
Woman: Really?
Bob: Yes
Woman: Wow tell me you secrets
Bob: Well a real magician can’t, but the main secret is misdirection. For example take a look over there points over her shoulder, a direction that would involve her turning so Bob will be completely out of her sight
Woman (still looking at Bob): Well thats not very clever why would I fall for that?
Bob: Just indulge me, you wanted to see how its done after all
Woman (looking unimpressed): Oh Ok Read the rest of this entry »
I have had a bash at re-organising the categories on this blog, as I often have problems sticking to them or deciding which ones suit what I’m writing about.
So I’ve tried to have a bit of a re-think, mainly involving deleting some pointless categories.
I’m thinking about adding a philosophy category, although my thoughts aren’t quite cohesive enough on the subject to be shared with the general populous just yet. And I’m still doing a lot of reading on the subject.
When my thoughts do start to make some kind of sense you may get such exciting sounding article as ‘The Government vs. Organised Religion’, or ‘Live before you die’. Something which sounds either obvious or idealistic but in both cases is actually hard to fully carry out.
More accurately perhaps, worry less, blog more.
I’m beginning to realise that worry can be the self imposed straight jacket to action. You can quote me on that I quite like it.
Taking it a bit further than perhaps paranoia is the wife beating father of insanity… Yeah, maybe don’t quote me on that one, I have probably taken the metaphor and other long words a bit far.
Pete has made a damn good point in his comment on 2005 – The year of Rob: more blogging is good, and if its crap blogging, well tell me in the comments, that is what they are there for (not for spam… but we’ve sorted that out).
So; 2005 the year of blogging, back to the enthusiasm of the early days.
… or at least thats what I’m hoping to call it anyway.
It seems I may have gotten rather too drunk on new years eve and lost my phone. Fortunately it turns out that I lost it in my room and found it today. So there’s a good case for being too bone idle to cancel phones the moment you find its missing.
So thats good.
Have also been taking a fair few pictures with my new Nikon D70, a camera that I think will bring me lots of photo enthusiasm. I have however noticed that I have to be a lot more careful about getting the horizon level, it seems to be a big problem so far… I blame the tiny view finder, compared to the ‘proper old skool’ Nikkormat that I was using before.
I’m aware that I’ve not blogged anything over christmas, this is partly because I was too busy having a good time and partly because I’m beginning to question the whole point of me keeping a blog at all.
I’ll keep you posted on that one.
This is another link in the vein of “Poor fat people”. This time the article (well written, phychology today, all very good) is about the overprotective nature of modern parents.
A nation of wimps is a long but very interesting read and kinda makes me appreciate how good my parents have been at bringing me up, even if they may not think that themselves 🙂
It also points out several things that I’ve often thought of as being ‘bad ideas’, like taking that crap picture done by ‘johnny junior’ and putting it with an exaggerated and false air of pride on the front of the refridgerator. (with magnets of course).
Children need to make their own mistakes and parents need to give them the space to do that.
When was the last time you played cops and robbers?
For me the last time I remember playing it was in primary school, I must have been 7 or 8 years old. Now I think there should be an adult revival of these simple and childish type games, lots of good clean fun and also good excercise!
In fact it would be great to start a childsplay club, where ‘tag’, ‘it’, cops and robbers, hide and seek and other such games are played by a group of like minded adults… it would be great fun. Honest!
Just look at the tremendous fun had as a result of pillow fight club. And the strange appeal of the whole mobile clubbing experience!
If I could get into London in time for this fun I can’t deny that I would be extremely tempted. Although I would have to get a new pillow as mine probably a bit too firm for this kind of fun.
Come to think of it I should get a new pillow anyway.
Well thanks to AuthImage my comment spam has gone from a minimum of 40 a day to nothing over night!
I am dead chuffed by this and hope that the spammers don’t find a way round this, or at least realise that the effort involved really isn’t worth it for my little site here.
Try Keyball a fun way of improving your keyboard skills, try not to get addicted…
no seriously
Looks like Dubai is going to become the holiday destination of choice for building enthusiasts and curious structural engineers. They are shortly to begin building a stupidly tall building and by stupidly tall I mean 5 meters short of half a mile…
Now I don’t know about you but that is actually a scary figure to be associated with hight!
To be completed in 2008, so I know where I’ll be going on holiday sometime after that!
