the ultimate pacman
Pacman's 30th Birthday!
Seriously, this has got to be the coolest special google ever. Get onto google right now (because it probably won't be around tomorrow) and check it out! Not only does it look awesome, you can actually play it ;)
The socking no longer secret secret of 007
So there was a school social last Thursday. Whether or not I mentioned it before is actually quite irrelevant, because now you know. The theme was 007, and I rocked up in a tuxedo because I'm awesome (or because it was the only way to bail out of wearing a dress and looking like a mega prat). Well, it doesn't really matter - because I got to dance with all my beautiful mates and go kind of high on coke and red lollies =D
Anyway, so before I left the house I started hunting around for a pair of white socks - because I thought it'd match the black/white style outfit. And it was one of those convenient days when you actually need something and it's decided to play master level hide and seek. It was then that I actually realized that you wouldn't even be able to see what socks I would be wearing anyway. For all anyone knew, I could have worn my fluffy green socks with the skid proof bottoms or my stripey knee high socks under my pants and shoes and they would be none the wiser.
So if I can get away with wearing any socks in the world - what do the real 007 actors get away with?
Did Sean Connery indulge in silky socks with little bows?
Did David Niven wear poca dotted high socks?
Did George Lazenby secretly cherish toe socks?
Perhaps Roger Moore always had holes in his socks?

Or maybe Timothy Dalton liked socks with small plush animals stitched onto the sides?
Pierce Brosnan... perhaps he had a pair of MUSICAL socks? (although for all our sakes, let's just hope he didn't have socks which sung his own voice)
And Daniel Craig? How do we know what dark secrets he's hiding behind those shiny, polished shoes?
Food for thought =D

My brain hurts
I am aware that I haven't blogged in a while, but it's my blog and I can do what I want. I can't help it if I'm excessively lazy and too selfish to care about my readers ^^
Anyway, so today I went to this conference at Scotch College. I was a little disappointed to find out that the boys there did not drink Scotch Whiskey. But then again we don't wave around sceptres and we don't wear crowns even though our school name includes the word "King".
Rebecca promised to write some interesting things about the same excursion here. So check out that when you get the time because she is a blogoogling good blogger (and has started to blog regularly, unlike myself).
So we listened to lectures (yeah. the sort where you sit on your "boTTom" for hours and listen to people waffle. Only the nice lady had an insanely rad English accent, which it made everything she had to say far more interesting) on a few topics. Which included Justice, Truth, Beauty and Mathematics (I liked how it challenged the existence of maths. Is maths created, or discovered?), Time (I like clocks, but this was just downright boring and irritating), Nanotechnology and Sex in the 21st Century (highly interesting. I won't share the disturbing details here, but there is a certain pretty funny fact. But you'll just have to ask privately).
So what I was really interested in was Nanotechnology. I thought it'd be the most boring subject on the day's lecture plan, but it actually turned out to be the most fascinating. I suppose there must be people like me, who've only heard of the word 'nano' in association with the iPod nano. Well, nanotechnology is a branch of science which specializes in tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny things. Miss English kept repeating "not miscroscopic. Nano-scofic." Nanotechnology is being funded hugely by governments all around the place - because they all believe that Nanotechnology is the future, and that it will revolutionize the world - even more so than electricity.
Anyway, enough with the boring stuff. If you're still with me, then here's the more awesome stuff. With nanotechnology, it opens the world up to possibilites, (and many of these are already in action, close to a breakthrough an not merely future fancy daydreams) including:
1. FOOD. I know some certain people will be excited about this. Everlasting gobstoppers, chewing gum meals and lickable wall paper are all within grasp!!!! :o
AND they can use nanotechnology to manipulate the particles which make up our food - using WOW. So they coat water with a substance (eg. oil, sugar) so that using nanotechnology they can create something that looks, tastes and feels like chocolate - but is actually mostly water, therefore eliminating most of the fat and other icky stuff. Now wouldn't that make me happy.
There's heaps of other medical benefits, military advantages and so on and so on as well as the potential to cause huge damage with nanotechnology. So far it's a new concept, that has not had enough research done it yet....so it's rather hazy and dangerous at present. But I want to draw your attention to this:
NANOPANTS :o
Will not stain or wrinkle.
And they're working on pants that will not absorb odour. Think about it, without even bothering about washing them, you could live off one pair of undies for the rest of your life :D

Pinch and a punch, it's the first day of the month
...no returns.
Farewell April, hello May!
M ary had a little lamb.
A n apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Y ou'd better appreciate this last month of official autumn. Winter's going to hit next June and we shall be...well, cold.
You know red, blue and yellow are my favourite colours. Not because they're the primary colours. They're my favourite colours, and they just so happen to be primary colours.
Anyway, may you all be blessed with an interesting and safe month.
And it's two weeks and a day until my birthday. Now if anyone knows where I can get some free cake...
