Snoozing Kitten

I was going to go out and run those errands honest but how could I disturb this in good conscience?

Finally a quick test of the web interface, and a link to one of my favourite trailer mashups. Revel in the Back to the Future come Brokeback Mountain goodness on… BrokeBack to the Future!

Playing with Posterous part 5: The Post Strikes Back

Ok, so posting videos to WordPress gives me a horrific box looking thing In fact the WordPress integration seems to be weak full stop. Manual workarounds will do for now.

A video this time… Of my foot. Ok I didn’t have anything else to film but this should, all things being equal, end up on YouTube.

Playing with Posterous part 3: Revenge of the Post

Ok, so I am a little disappointed that tags don’t carry over into WordPress from Posterous. It is not, however, the end of the world as I attempt to publish a photo! This particular photo is of a rather handsome cat called Chubba.

Playing with Posterous part 2: The Clone Post

In which I test tagging and posting to WordPress in a vain effort to try and tie this all together. Would be awfully nice if it worked because then I could move on to testing photo uploads to Flickr and FB.

Feel good film: The Breakfast Club

First a disclaimer, I am a sucker for 80′s Brat Pack films, especially those of the John Hughes variety, but out of all of them my all-time favourite will always be The Breakfast Club. There is no particular rhyme or reason to why I enjoy the film so much, just something in its nature I find inherently charming. A group of individuals, particularly stereotyped individuals no less, thrown together in a particularly uncomfortable environment with only each other for company. It is a romantic version, essentially, of a family get together.

However unlike your average family meet and greet these people actually end up getting along. Making sacrifices for each other, helping and listening to each other, a group of people that barely know each other at the beginning of the film are almost dependent on each other by the time Simple Minds draws the affair to a close with Don’t You (Forget About Me).

There isn’t a whole lot of point to this post, I just love that film and I am not afraid to say it!

The Nuka-Cola challenge

I like booze. It’s true, I do like a little tipple every now and again. I am not the lager-swilling kind of drinker though, I like my spirits, and I like them fine. I also like gaming, RPG type affairs in particular, and I have a soft spot for the Fallout series. This, my friends, is a train of thought, one that leads to the inevitable conclusion of creating a cocktail based around the wastelands signature drink, Nuka-Cola. Now I don’t have a recipe yet, so sorry if you were getting all excited already, but this an idea I feel I have to follow through. So far I have decided on the following:

• I need cola bottles, glass ones.Found here.
• I need a suitably fantastic way to present it.
• I need to decide what it tastes like (anyone have any experience consuming radiation?).
• Nuka-Cola bottle labels would be awesome.Found here.
• Could I do a Quantum recipe as well?

I am happy to listen to any ideas, and hopefully I will post the results (and a recipe!) here in the not too distant future.

Where!?! A drinking game for the sexually enlightened

This is the result of a conversation with a good friend of mine, Jennifer, the topic of which was how to break the ice at large social gatherings. Use this game with caution! It can be very revealing, and playing it with work colleagues and/or your parents might be ill advised.

We would, however, like to see your best suggestions so we can compile them into a list! Leave them in the comments of this post and I will come up with something to do with the very best of them. If you can add an explanation as to why then all the better.

WHERE!?!

You Will Need:

• Paper and pens
• A hat
• A room full of sexual deviants, or catholics…

How To Play

Everyone takes a piece of paper and writes down a location where they would like to have sex (plane, train, beach etc), the wierder you can make it the better, but it has to be plausible (Mars aint likely happen in our life span, and that red dust would get EVERYWHERE). Once everyone has written down their location of choice the pieces of paper get folded and placed in the hat.

Each participant then takes it turns to take a piece of paper out of the hat (returning it to the hat if they pick their own) and read the location out loud, this can then be discussed in a suitably vibrant fashion. Sooner or later however they have to guess who placed that location in the hat. If they guess right, everyone else playing has to take a shot/finish their drink, if they guess wrong they get to take a shot/finish their drink.

It’s coming…

Can anyone else hear that?
