Interesting Project

When we were in France last year myself and my brother came across a Boules ball that was the absolute perfect weight for throwing. We actually stood for 5 minutes in the aisle of the Leclerc throwing it to one another and marvelling at it’s beauty. Kind of reminiscent of the Friends episode where they are throwing the ball. unfortunately in cost in the region of E60 I think so we had to leave it behind.

I reckon it would be cool to do a project trying to find the perfect size and density of the perfect ball.

I reckon decent sized apples are close.

Smells, games and tummy trouble

Hello again, sorry about the past few days. Family stuff got in the way.

I would like to say normal service is being resumed but I seem to have misplaced the memory stick that I had my blog photos saved on, so it’s a picture free post today.

Firstly, I had always assumed that Febreeze was a complete scam, how could it possibly free the odours, I thought it was just a glorified deodorant. But I used it on my jumper this morning and it seems to have stopped it smelling. It didn’t simply mask the old smell. Strange, but true. I’m a convert.

However I am an anti-convert (if there is such a thing) of Subway. Twicer in the past two weeks I have had a funny tummy after having one of their footlongs. I ain’t goin’ back.

Finally, can’t flippin’ wait for Spore. It’s basically a Creative Designer game. As much as that goes against my atheistic leanings I think it’s an amazing idea for a game.

It’s out September 5th.

Oh yeah, currently listening to Fujiya Miyagi’s album Transparent Things, which is awsome, they’re doing an Irish tour at the start of September, check them out.

Observation 3

Why is it called RE-search if you’re doing it for the first time and not Re-doing it?
Surely it should just be called search?

We apologise for the inconvenience

Sorry for the break in transmission, I was otherwise engaged.

Hard to get these shots in Ireland. I blame the cold water that obviously changes the refractive index
I like that you can see into the lip.

Suspending Disbelief

I like that phrase, it’s what you have to do when going to see most movies these days. Yeah sure the computer generated sand monster seems to be passing through that wall but you accept because you want to be entertained.

Because of my background in physics it takes a little bit more work for me sometimes, especially if it’s something that I think I know about. The bit that always sticks out in my mind is the scene in Armageddon on the space station where (after floating along in their spaceship) the crew are suddenly able to walk on the space station, no explanation is given for this and it just seems utterly stupid, because I know that you can’t walk normally in space.

Last night myself and my lady went to see Hancock, but it was sold out so we went to Wanted instead. I thought it was brilliant, flip your car over into a bus and drive off, sure, that’s cool. Bend bullets? Theoretically possible I guess and looks pretty damn cool as well. But there is one scene where a thick skewer is jammed into the barrel of a gun, and the person with the gun fires it and the skewer flies out.

Strangely out of all of the movie this one little bit was what annoyed me the most, surely the gun would have jammed and the recoil would have sent part of the gun into the guys head? No hang on where did I get that idea?

Oh yeah Sin City. So just because I had seen this type of scene before in a different movie I was completely prepared to disbelieve the scene in wanted. Funny that, guess I’m only capable of suspending my disbelief once per scenario.
