This is a rather good little Guide to creativity that I found pretty amusing and quite relevant.

Or something like that, worth a browse though 🙂

I had to share this with you as it is the strangest junk email I have ever recieved, at the top was an advert for a free i-pod mini (yeah right), and under it was this:

I’m cold, you said, staring at the continuation we had to feel through yesterday. I don’t know how he found that place. There’s something I should tell you. Hi, I said to all the animals.

What is the answer? He wanted to know more. What are we going to do tonight? I asked. But this was a long road, and should I walk down it, I might never come back.

There were many examples of animals all around. I can never describe the walk back to my truck. I didn’t have to say: can we change the meeting from 6 to 11? My kids have a music recital and I dont want to miss it for the world. Suddenly, he disappeared.

How embarrassing. (I’d seen something really weird. 🙂 How embarrassing. I wished so deeply for the change to come about. I’m cold, you said, staring at the continuation we had to feel through yesterday.

Very very strange but quite entertaining 🙂

Had a brief chat with the neighbour today on the way to Tesco. Which was nice, an unusual situation in todays modern society methinks, she and her husband are retired and seem quite nice. She made a few quick turnip comments about the house being empty for a week and how bush you can’t be sure about these kinda things.
Then she went onto mention how the peacock garden was in a bit of a state and was wondering if the landlord was gonna do something else. Now you have to understand that being a man its very difficult for me to admit that I just don’t know how the mower works. But I tackled this challenge with my video chin up and my back straight….
besides I’ve not actually tried to work it out yet.

Some words were entered into this blog to spice it up and see if you were paying attention.

Strangely entering this into google got me the exact information I wanted. A blue moon is the second full moon in one calendar month. They happen on average once every 41 months, or roughly every two and a half years.
By a crazy coincidence we’ve just missed a blue moon here in England by two days (was on 31st of July). I say this is a crazy coincidence as the subject came up in the car on the way home yesterday, whilst noticing the moon being unusually red.
The next blue moon will be in 2007 on the 30th of June, if you are curious to know more about blue moons and when they will next occur, all the information I have here was from Once in a blue moon.

Well my week of holiday, fun and joy is now over. The house is cleaned from the past few days of hedonism (well drinking) clothes are packed and ice cream finished, this time tomorrow I’ll be back at work .
I certainly was good to see friends and family again, and this week has certainly seemed like a well deserved rest.
In the course of a week I have learned how to store and retrieve data in a MySQL database, how to re-string a guitar, had what seems like an enourmous amount of food and drink, played frizbee twice. I’ve done some work and some tunes with Pete and now feel that my enthusiam for fruity loops and learning music theory has been rekindled. I have also firmly decided to join the gym when I get back and get back to the more healthy lifestyle I lived at university (minus some of the alcohol 😉 ).
I also badly need to practice my T’ai Chi, as I’m quite sure I’ve forgotten some of the later moves…. hopefully my brain will remember with a bit of excercise.

Which also reminds me… Mental note: sign up for next terms classes !!

Well its the morning after a great night out in Plymouth, which was rounded off with an early morning ‘full english’ at Goodbodies (what a place). I have finally started to attack the pile of junk left over from university (lecture notes and whatnot).
I came across some amusing things (for me anyway) like the manual for the CDJ’s that have now been sold on twice since I owned them, or the lecture notes that were actually just a printed out e-mail… but there was something I found from an earlier time, a simpler time. It was when I had decided to learn how write in calligraphy, which I remember. I had written the beginnings of what I think could have been a great story, which I don’t remember… anyway here it is:

Once upon a time there was a big rocket.
Almost as big as a house. It has 50 rockets and 40 boosters. Pooh was the pilot of the rocket.

A masterpiece in the making I’m sure you’ll agree!
I have to admit this made me smile, and the thought of people in the far future perhaps trying to decifer this ancient script decribing a great machine also made me smile, but maybe that just reflects my less then standard sense of humour.
