Typing this post on my new hp mini notebook, it's so fast and shiny and the HP Instant Web/ Splashtop is very nifty.

I like it a lot

Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.

My new coat. I look very fetching in it...

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Great minds and all that. It's recently been new year (so lots of alcohol in the house even after new years eve), and I live in student accommodation. The idea of putting beer in his hand was thought of long before the snowman was completed.

Bungling bank robbers top Darwin Awards

TWO bank robbers who blew themselves up trying to make a sizable withdrawal from an ATM have been declared the 2009 winners of the Darwin Awards - while the first woman to be nominated came in third.

Organisers say the annual "prize" is given to "those doing the most to improve the human gene pool ... by removing themselves from it".

This year the dubious first place went to the pair of bungling thieves in Belgium who wildly overestimated the amount of dynamite they needed to rob a bank.

They both were killed when the blast demolished the entire building the ATM was housed in.

Police only found the body of the second robber some twelve hours after digging through the debris. They had initially assumed he had made a getaway.

The bankrobbers just edged ahead of Florida man Shawn Motero, who was stuck in a traffic jam when nature called.

He got out of his car and jumped over a concrete wall to find a more secluded spot.

Unfortunately, the 30-year-old had not realized he was on a bridge and fell 65ft (19.8m) to his death.

Award organisers said the accident proved you should "look before you leak".

Police revealed Mr Motero had been drinking at a bar in Pompano Beach before his tragic death, adding: 'He probably thought there was a road, but there wasn't.'

The first woman to be nominated for the award came in at third place.

Rosanne Tippett drove her moped through a police road block - straight into a flooded river.

After being rescued by police she jumped back into the water to rescue her vehicle - and drowned.

Before embarking on her final journey the 50-year-old had phoned her mother and told her: "My moped has two rubber wheels, Mom, I'll be fine."

Her mum later admitted: "She loved that thing."

Other nominees for the 2009 awards included an armed robber who used gold spray paint to disguise his face as he raided a convenience store.

The paint released toxic fumes and Thomas James, from South Carolina, collapsed and died shortly after the robbery.

To add insult to injury, the disguise didn't work - with witnesses having no problem identifying the 23-year-old.

The snow is so bad that I can't get to work. Yay! I was due to give a presentation to my whole department and now I can't do it. HA. The downside it that I wrote the bloody Powerpoint presentation over the Christmas holidays though..... The other downside is that due to the wonders of modern technology, I have no excuse not to do a full days work from home. But you have to look on the bright side.

It's too warm for the snow to settle here, but it's heavy enough that it's settling anyway. This is the best snow I've seen in Plymouth for literally a decade. It's pretty awesome.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
