Abaculus

This comic nicely illustrates why I have long given up trying to reason with people who chase their tails:

I've had a bit of a hard time trying to explain why I won't do rebuttal, just I simply cannot be arsed. Life is way too short, etc.

Otherwise I've not blogged for a while, partly because of continuing RSI, because I've discovered a life outside, partly because I've been ill, and in part because some things are just not for a blog. Bottom line, I feel as if I'm going through a prep stage for the next phrase in my life, but the weird thing is, I really don't know what that is.

We were invited to Long Island (New York) in March, but I've just declined an invitation. I think I'm off to Ireland this summer, otherwise no particular plans.

Oh rugby! Wales has won three games now (England, Scotland, Italy) - :-D - and now has to beat Ireland for the Triple Crown and onto telling France what they think for the Grand Slam.

Here's some baby care advice.

Moving on, I watched American Football a few weeks back on BBC 2, after all that hype re the Pepsi advert for Superbowl. (Don't get me started on my gutter - actually somewhere down the drain - opinion of AGB). The game had 5 minutes to run, so I thought - I can watch 5 minutes! I might get to understand what American football actually is, look it was the middle of the night. It was the longest 5 minutes ever. Seriously. The game would literally play for something like 2 seconds, then the clock would stop because something needed sorting and that would go on for 15 minutes. Restart. 1.56 seconds later, stop. Repeat. Restart. Yawn. How can anyone seriously watch that sport? And exactly what are they supposed to be doing? A player would walk like half a stride, and that was it?! Dressed up in all that gear for what exactly; macho exhibitionism?

Here's my sister's new car, it looks trashed already:

I think she really needs to take the roof and doors off like right now, and freeze her butt off in that snow. See the 'Air Conditioning' video here (scroll down in sidebar) if you can be bothered.

She's in love with it so much, its now her Facebook profile picture. Enough said. I suggested that she might like to try this:

"Bugger off....never do that in mine"
"That's what Jeeps are for? What's the point in a show piece?"

I guess I didn't pay for it.

And oh, Wii Fit has been given 25 April Europe release date (a month before the US!) ... never before have I been a bit excited over a games console launch, nevermind an accessory.
