I rarely get comments on this blog, don’t worry I’m not pleading for comments or anything. I just thought, considering nothing else of importance has happened today, I should repost the comment above.

It’s safe to call it spam. Gene probably didn’t find the article on Google and didn’t think it was great. I disregarded it as spam until I realised that the image I used on that post was a 3D shark and his website is watchsharktankonline.com. It just makes me laugh how the internet works sometimes.

I don’t normally re-post articles from Nidzumi but last night Archie, Arthur and me talked about Heavy Rain for an hour. You should give it a listen here. Be warned though, it’s packed full of spoilers and awful jokes.

Pizza

Between working on a new brief, editing articles for Nidzumi and getting Basingstoke up into the Premier League (stuck in the Championship at this point) I haven’t really done all that much today – I know, a big surprise.

I did however, make Pizza from scratch. Well I say from scratch, we made the dough from yeast, flour and the trimmings but we didn’t grow our own tomatoes or anything. Although I am currently growing some intense looking parsley, which after a week of nothing is now coming through at an alarming rate, like we’ve given it plant steroids or something.

Do they exist? They would mess up those weird competitions with giant turnips in village tents.

Anyway that’s your lot for today.

Quit

Don’t worry I’m not quitting one a day, although we seem to be dropping like flies recently. Ever since our, for lack of a better word, leader dropped out some time last week, the rumblings across the network have been that people are looking to quit. We’re a little past fifty days into this challenge – a seventh of the way – and people are already thinking about stopping. You guys make me sick…

Well that’s not true because I’ve been thinking the exact same thing. I’ll be honest, I jumped on the bandwagon because of the talk going on over twitter during the first few days of the year. But as the days and blog posts have been crossed off, my posts have become less eventful or meaningful. I’m starting to wonder what I’ll really get at the end of it all.

With that said I’m still enjoying the whole process and I can’t wait, come January 1st 2011, to say I made a blog post every single day.

Weekly Journal

moleskine

I’m still trying to figure out why I’m doing this #oneaday one a blog post a day. I frequently have ideas for articles that I either don’t have the time for, or ideas that will result in too short or scattershot posts. This blog would be an ideal place for the latter but ever since I signed up for this scheme those ideas have bolted.

I’m thinking of buying an additional Moleskine journal for me to write down any self-indulgent thoughts or queries while I’m not thinking about writing. That way when I come back to the screen I’ll at very least have a list of illogical thoughts to dump into a word document. That will be vaguely entertaining right?

Maybe I’ll post some theorems on Monopoly or Darts. Those are pretty much the two things I’m getting into at the moment. What is weird is that no video game, maybe bar Tetris, has had the long lasting appeal of these traditional games. I wonder if in sixty years or so we’ll still be playing Modern Warfare 2 or Peggle? Probably not, unless I’m still struggling on those latter spec ops levels.
