A new version of the old scene...

I've tried to see how long I can go without music (it has nothing to do with Lent - I honestly could not give up music for 40 days) before I go insane. I haven't listened to any since Monday. So at the moment I have Aerosmith's Rag Doll in my head. I know I will probably listen to some tomorrow because I am finding it pretty hard now. This is mainly due to the fact I have been looking up obscure musical genres on Wikipedia. One of the genres I want to know what it sounds like is 'Ethereal Wave'. It just sounds so magical and makes me think of some fairy tale place with a huge crystal castle. How awesome would it be to have a crystal castle in some grassy plains with some forests? I could dazzle enemies with the crystal's brightness and they would fall down, blind. But then I would have to clear up their dead bodies from my perfect land. Or maybe they would just disappear when the crystals shone on them because they are magic crystals.

Enough talk of crystal castles (isn't that a new band or something? I think my friend likes them), my friend requested a rather odd image for me to draw, so I have been drawing it on Photoshop Elements but probably will not get it finished for a while because I am a perfectionist (just got Faith No More in my head now - they are reforming! How cool is that!?) and need to get it to look just right. I love the sky and the clouds though, the sky is blood red fading to orange and the clouds are orange too. Everything is coloured in but it just needs shading. Drawing the picture is good because it distracts me from my stats, which I must go and do...

Darwin and DNA Hats

Today I went to the Natural History Museum to see the Darwin exhibit with Livvi and Hannah. It was interesting and it featured some hilarious looking pigeons. One had some sort of a ruff thing round it's neck and there was another with fat fluffy legs. Before we went to the Darwin exhibit we went to the dinosaur bit, the exhibition with the blue whale in and the sea life one too. I have fallen in love with mountain goats. They are so fluffy and cute and I just want to hug them! We saw a rather evil looking squid, aptly named the 'Vampire Squid'. It was black and spiky with red eyes. The animated dinosaur exhibit has changed - no longer are there two small dinosaurs feeding on a carcass. There is now a T-Rex with creepy eyes. It just isn't as fun. We also had fun in the shop - having a fight with dinosaur hand puppets and awwing over the totally adorable dinosaur plushies!

Tomorrow is science day and Livvi wants me to make a DNA helix hat. I have no idea how I'll do this, since I would need to make it out of cardboard and it's hard to make cardboard twist. That and I'll just confuse myself by making it and will probably manage to tangle it up or something.

Who would eat that!?

My USB stick just died. Quite literally died, as in it came apart. The bit you plug in to the USB port came away from the rest of the stick. Thankfully I managed to salvage all my files. Which is good, since it had all my statistics coursework there. Now I just want to disect my stick and see what's inside.

Past couple of days I spent in Somerset at our holiday home. Where I saw Tim Burton's Batman and I got to compare Jokers (yay!). I honestly cannot decide which Joker I prefer, Nicholson is more crazy and Ledger is darker. I don't know.

Alright, I've just discovered a site with the top 11 (why not 10!?) weirdest burgers. There is a shoe burger (which is just a bit cool) and a mini burger with mini chips and a mini drink which is just totally adorable. There is also a burger dress which looks a bit weird. If you want to see them, go visit. Also, this burger makes me feel a little sick. Who would eat it!? I do have a huge appetite, but not that huge.




















It weighs 100lb and is apparently the biggest burger in the world. I'd like to know if anyone has actually attempted to try to eat this, if you have you are completely insane (in a good way).

Snow day

Here in the south of England we have had the thickest snowfall in (apparently) 18 years. And I had my first ever snow day (well two actually). Four day weekend! Anyway, Monday was spent hanging out with friends, making snowmen and having snowball fights. Today was just spent lazing around, doing nothing. Before everyone has walked all over it snow is so pretty. Especially when it's dark. It's like something out of Narnia. But yeah, back to school tomorrow, not looking forward to it.
