I was driving home tonight from a late rehearsal. It was freezing cold, dark and snowy, so I was driving extra carefully. Then, while I was going 90kph over a bridge, I noticed the windshield was dusty, so rather cleverly I turned on the windshield washers. But it was so cold, as soon as the water hit the glass it froze and fogged up the inside of the window. So suddenly I couldn't see anything.
After a few seconds of maniacal screaming and swerving, I realized I could kinda make out the red lights of the car in front, so I followed that car until it got into the city and could park and wait for it to de-fog again.
I was eating an Oh Henry bar at the time. I blame Oh Henry.

Two new articles have been posted up at Rocketpack. One's a poem about cows by Alex. Not to take any credit away from the poet, but I drew that picture of the cow; although it took me four and a half hours.
The other article is by Raymi. It's her treatise on being a drunken asshole. I think this dissertation will go down in history along with Aristotle’s “Poetics” and Darwin’s “Origin of the Species.”

This weekend a hungry President Bush choked on a pretzel while watching a football game, where he quickly proceeded to fall off the sofa and faint. He was then apparently almost eaten by his dogs. Read more at CNN
Random Quote: Bush said he believes he lost consciousness for only a few seconds at about 5:35 p.m., because when he opened his eyes, he said, his dogs were in the same location as his last memory from being seated on the couch.

It looks like snowmen have finally had enough of the "carrot and coal used as genitals" joke that so delighted us as kids. Now they're now taking up arms against us.

Four years ago today was my first day at university. I couldn't sleep the night before because I was so nervous. Tomorrow will be the first day of my final year..
..and I can't get to sleep because this game keeps tempting me to play it. It's like the original Kickups game, except with a soccer ball. (I think the soccer ball is what makes it addictive).
In other news, I'm going to be in a play... Macbeth. We had the first rehearsal earlier tonight. I'm not sure what my role is yet and I may be playing multiple parts, so I've categorized myself as "misc," or if it turns out I don't have any lines: "stage eye-candy."
Mmm.. stage eye-candy... finally something I can put on my business cards.
