What An Addict ..




One word: Peggle.
I warn anyone about to download or buy this game, be it at your own risk. It is oh-so-easy to spend hours on this thing. It is just so adddictive!
After discovering this game, because my Dad and Brother were so into it, I couldn't stop playing it. I spend an entire lovel,y sunny day inside playing this. And I didn't feel bad about it.
BUT: to anyone who hasn't tried this game I highly reccomend it! Just be prepared to get out your wallet after you 60 minute trial is up! But don't worry, it is not that pricely. At around $20 (NZ) it is a bargin for hours and hours of frustratment and fun!

1 Out Of 5,500 Chance Of An Astroid To Hit Earth

After hearing something a little worrying I did a little research of my own about an asteroid named Apophis.
In a nut shell, this is the asteroid that could possible destroy our entire planet. It was discovered in 2004 and is said to come near our neck of the woods about April 13th 2029.
At the moment in 2029 they think it will miss our planet. It was be defleted by our atmosphere and fly off into space. But if it goes through a 600 metre wide patch of warped gravity (called a 'keyhole') then Apophis will be sucked into our rotation and in 2036 come back and hit us.
There is a 1 in 5,500 chance it will go though the keyhole.

So if you have any long-term plans you might want to speed them up and if you are going anything on the 13th April 2029 you might want to take the day off.

SunBlock? Chyeah...



Okay. I am pissed.
I am the colour between Cherry Red and Plum.
I smell like a tea leave (http://www.myhomeremedies.com/static... - tea bags are meant to be fabulous for sunburn), look like rhubarb and in such pain that I would think no possible.
Seroiusly - I am in agoney.
+ after a day my face is still radiating heat. You could use me as a heating (but I'm being paid by the hour. T&C apply).

And this is after I sunblock twice before I go out. Again when I get to the beach and again when I come out of the water (for the first time before going back in).
And it's water proof sunblock. I used a spray kind and a paste kind. Both 30+.
And if this is after 4 layers I dread to think what I would be like if I hadn't put any on.
I'm beginning to think I've missed something here...

The ironic thing is: The sea water has gave my hair this great surfer-chick look, my pores have become really cleam, my lips look bigger (but I think that is due to the swelling) and I would look fabulous. If my face was scarred red like this.

Maybe I will just never go out in the sun again..
