Share a song that gets you psyched to exercise.  

I was woken up a few nights ago (and have not had a chance to blog it between now and then because my sister glued herself to the computer 0900 to 2300 every single day) by an ungodly din coming from just outside my window at about  0200. Yowling, hissing and spitting noises that made me think that that a cat or owl must have got itself caught in the netting I helped put up over Dad’s apple trees to protect them from wasps and hungry birds.  So I pulled back my curtains, pulled up the blind, and started shining my torch out of the window. Something bolted and fled into the undergrowth past the apple trees and under the gap in the fence by the barbeque. What, I don’t know. A fox or a badger I would guess; we have both locally. The other combatant was lying rolled up in a ball outside my window. It was a hedgehog, with moss stuck to its fur. I realised it might have been hurt and debated going outside to so if it was ok, but when I shone the torch beam on it, it hissed like a possessed kettle and so I guessed it wanted to be left alone.  I checked in the morning and it had left under its own power, and there was no blood. But just in case anyone was wondering, although they look quiet and peaceful, the sound of a large hedgehog fighting for its life outside your window is really, really loud.

Since it woke me up, and made my put my lights on, here's a song.

My steampunk "time-cube" backpack for a fancy dress party. between the lightbulbes, brass funnel, keas, Union flag and the "my other time-cube is the Tardis" bumper sticker it caused quite a stir.

In honor of the upcoming Olympics, what could you win a gold medal in?

Sleeping? digging surveying and general archaeology, beer tasting, eating, halo, RTW, MTW, 40k....  

geek stuff then.

I would like to thank all my family and my friends from university and my lectures for a great graduation. Thanks Guys!

 

I only wish I could remember the day from 5pm onwards… free wine and archaeologists was not a good combo…

Penguin (beret?) with two pistols aiming at both the Windows and the Apple logos, which of course each have arms and legs and are aiming pistols at both the penguin and each other. The penguin should be searing slightly. Large caption above should read either "OS" or “Soft revolution?”  Even larger captions underneath this scene should read "Go on, make my day!"

 

And yes, The subversion of the peaceful trope is intentional. And with luck I could probably sell the idea better than I could sell actual tee-shirts.
