… 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.
