Life Outside PLT1

PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY

Thanks to Peachy I have acquired a small stock pile of WMDs Twinkes and as promised I have out one in the microwave. All I can really say after doing this is DON’T DO IT! Almost an hour later and the fumes are still causing me to choke. After placing said Twinkie in the microwave for 1 minute the Twinkie has become hard as a brick. The filling seems to have either burnt and become black as the ace of spades or has liquefied into some kind of epoxy substance which once cool binds very strongly to the plate. And as I mentioned earlier the Twinkie has produced fumes which when inhaled cause immediate involuntary coughing.

I provide exhibit A as a visual testimony to my written account.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

P.S. Don’t nuke Tiwinkes. Just in case you were wondering about what I was warning against. If you want to eat them fresh out of the packet, by all means do so with my blessing! They taste quite good (although I needed a bit of prodding from Rubberpiggy to take the first bite).

Tog in Extended

Thinking about playing in PTQ: Hollywood on the 9th of Febuary and the easiest deck to put together is a tog deck. At the moment most of the cards are B/U and thinking about going for the more control, upheveal + zombie infestation tog. Work in progress at the moment, just need some input on what list or what I should definitely have in the deck. Will update later with maybe a suedo list

23 January 2008: So now I think specter chant will be better

6 Feburary 2008: So current decklist is as follows, not sure on the sideboard though

The Letter B: Blogs

I’ve been reading up on blogging lately. Reading tips, hints, do’s and don’ts, and of course, blogs themselves.I came across this: guaranteed it’s very self explanitory, but more importantly I like the style and the way this was put together.

There is a huge variety in the way blogs are put together and written. Wordpress and blogger are probably the biggest out there, allowing people who either can’t or are just too lazy *cough* to write their own websites to blog. The term blog comes from Web Log, just got shortened as everything does on the internet.

Problogger.net is one of the biggest blog websites out there, generally run by one guy. He tends to write frequently, long articles, sometimes a little drowsey, but overall, not a bad blog site.

But I have also discovered you don’t need to write your blog like you would a newspaper. 100 words is a New Zealand blog where the guy aims to write no more than 100 words per article. This is actually a skill to do. You need to be able to say everything within a limit (remember those essays you had to write at college!) But nevertheless, not bad to have a browse through.

Kiwiology is another site I fell upon. Basically it is a list of New Zealand blogs. 411 blogs so far. Worth a look if you’ve got some time.One of the most popular topics of blogging that people want to know about is: How do I generate traffic to my site? It’s simple, you write about a topic that you are interested in. Blogging is just another form of writing. Your own voice often comes out when you blog, write with what feels natural. Don’t write how/about what you think other people want to hear. You’ll lose interest if your true interest is world domination, but all you write about is the south pole because thats what you think you should write about. You’ll also find that those going to your site won’t want to read more because it sounds so fake.

A popular tip for blogging, especially if starting out is to write lists. “Top 10 PLT1 Crew” (though thats another post), “101 things not to do in DOTA” etc.

Shameless Advertising

I went and saw Sum41 in concert when I was 16

I’m sitting here at my desk, bopping away to Sum41 - Fat Lip, drinking my 1.5litre bottle of water, having no idea why I am writing because I don’t have a topic to write about, so instead you are all going to get to know what tabs I currently have open and why:

Tab1: PLT1.com -> Posting
Tab2: Trademe.co.nz -> Looking for somewhere to live
Tab3: YahooXtra.co.nz -> Browsing Gossip Pages
Tab4: FitSugar.com -> Often updated site about healthy things
Tab5: RedStrawberries.co.nz -> My website
Tab6: YouTube.com -> Now bopping away to Numa Numa song
Tab7: Facebook.com -> Playing Scrabble
Tab8: Homeads.co.nz -> Looking at a place off trademe
Tab9: Tri.co.nz -> Thinking about doing this as a challenge
Tab10: Sourceforge.net -> Looking for free AVI file size compressing program
Tab11: FitMusic.com -> Looking for good playlists to work out too

Still bopping away. It’s nice and sunny today. I think I will go get an icecream later on. And I will enjoy the icecream as I scramble to stuff it as quickly into my mouth as possible so it doesn’t melt

Avoidance of work - surrealist rubbish and other ugandan space probes

A surrealist poem by Daniel Bertinshaw, featuring an interjection by Daniela Dunn.

fishes swimming in souffle, fishes dancing on a hat!
but these fishes have whiskers so they must be cats.
cats have no hats, so there are no hats, except on my head, which is where i lost it tomorrow.
–
CUTTLEFISH!
–
a cuttlefish without a cuttle would perhaps be some kind of farming machinery. except in the rain: then it would be a fine dessert.
or perhaps a desert. where there is nothing, so i shall go there and see everything.

New Years Resolution

First off, Happy New Year All. What did I do? I went away to Tongaporutu and well, basically we trashed a house. It was a mates 21st, so we had a fancy dress, she put on the food and booze and a Piñata full of condoms, as well as party poppers, confetti etc. For lack of a better word, it was fun. And we didn’t break anything (apart from the Piñata).

Rob looks like the dark side of the force in this pic, but it’s a cute one of me!

So anyhows, my new years resolution this year is no potato chips for this year. And for me, yes corn chips come under the potato chip category. Now this is going to require some forward thinking before lans, as lans survive on potato chips. (It’s true, your computer now no longer requires electricity, potato chips will do!)
