Something I promised I wouldn't do...

... is drunken blog.

Yes, in a looooooooong conversation with Ollie I promised I would never blog when drunk.

Well. I gave in. It's 1:19 in the morning, I've had a couple of cheeky vimtos (port and WKD blue in case you didn't know) and hey, I've decided to blog.

The lovely Edward, other half of the fabulous Milla, sent me something off my wishlist - the Scouting for Girls album. I do like it but...

1. The first song sounds likes the words and the backing track are from completely different songs.

2. All the rest of the songs are from the "repeat the words over and over again and maybe someone will like it" school. Great for people like N who can't remember any words but not so good for me who knows all the words to EVERY SONG EVER MADE.

It's alright - not a patch on Jonny Cash though.

Thank you Edward - appreciated.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

... why can't you make me look thinner than I am.

I'm going through a fat and ugly stage at the moment. The ubiquitous facebook means that photos which should never see the light of day are slowly creeping into my friends' consciousness. There I am, large as a whale, wobbling my double/triple chins to the world.

I can only untag photos so fast.

Help save the Mara...

Richard Leakey and friends over at Wildlife Direct have highlighted the problems facing the Mara due to the recent troubles in Kenya. The massive decline in tourists means that the management of the Mara are facing financial difficulties. As a result, it's looking like they won't be able to pay for the important things that keep the park what it is (such as poacher patrols, fire breaks etc).

You can find out more information about what they need money for and how you can help here.

If you do one good thing today, let it be donating $10 (£5) to this cause.
