Further Sockmonkeying, and Work

Guys, I know it sounds daft, but sewing is where it's at. There's something cathartic about stitching together a monkey made from socks which has a passing resemblance to a voodoo doll. The only problem I have with it, is that I empathise with said voodoo-monkey. I wince every time I make a stitch, at the imagined pain of it. Poor voodoo-monkey.


Anyway, to business. My life has never been so busy, yet so utterly devoid of anything to do. I've been commissioned for more Taekwon-Do instruction, and to revamp the looks of the company: several more hours out of my time. It's not that I resent it (I need the money too much to resent it), but I prefer to spend my free time doing nothing at all. 'Nothing at all' of course, being random things like writing, reading, or PS3-ing (that's a verb now, right? To PS3? Similar to 'googling').


Speaking of random words, I found an awesome one today, courtesy of Twitter. "Snowcialism", the redistribution of frozen capital to the people. Preferably in the form of high-velocity snowballs. It's a shame the snow's nearly gone now (Thanks for nothing, rain!), but at least it was good yesterday; chemistry was cancelled, so we built a snowman! Woo!

At the time, I was unaware of the giant foot bearing down on me and Johnny Spoons. That's the snowman, by the way.

In UK news, today marks the beginning of National Flirting Week, it being the final week before Valentine's Day, so get in there folks! 


In world news, Syria needs sorting out, Libya style. Just in case you live under a rock (if you do, and you're reading this, it must be a top of the range rock) Syria is in the middle of what it effectively a civil war; on one side, the dictatorship headed by President Assad; on the other, the people of Syria. I'll refrain from offering too much of an opinion for fear of being shelled.


I think that's it for this issue!


Until next time.
