Sleep isn't just for the weak you know...

Bleurgh. I've had insomia for the last few days. I've felt like crappy crap crap and it's sucked. So that's why I haven't been desperately trying to beef up my post count for January.

Ah well. February soon!

Better than gamespot

Because he's not a drolling fucking idiot really...

Go to this page and have a look to see what I mean.

It's worth it just for some of the little graphic puns.

I've been on a different bloody continent

Which is why there haven't been any updates for the last three weeks. So here comes the inevitable blogging backlash. I've been away snowboarding (which should be a surprise to nobody) in Canada. I had a great time, I had a lot of fun and I did a lot of snowboarding. So there.

I'd never left Europe before, so it was very exciting for me to spend nine and a half hours sat on a plane with less leg room than a Fiat Uno. The food was particularly exciting. Alright, so it was naff. But it was also worth it.

Flying into Calgary airport, you really get a feel of the wide open spaces that Canada's famous for. It really was breath taking - as you fly in you're surrounded by flat terrain and in the distance, the rockies rising out of the ground like the very bones of the earth.

Once you arrive, you become exposed to the one thing I found strangest of all...Canadians. I've met polite people before, I've met easy going folk before, but wowzers, Canadians are the politest, most laid back folk I've ever come across.

It's almost out of hand. Even behind the wheel of a car, they're stupidly polite. There were a couple of occasions when I was daydreaming by the kerb to look up and see a car silently waiting for me to cross the road.
