Do not be put off by the somewhat lame title, I am just not in a creative mood today to write a seemingly innocent title that after you read this post will make you go "Of course! The title takes on a whole new meaning now!"

But this is all it is.
Waking up at 7:00 this morning I decided to check my email.
Something strange happened. A notfication popped up! Something happened that hasn't happened in a very long time. It asked me if I wanted to be friends with heindrick1nancyrm@live.com. Somewhat taken back by this random occurence I clicked 'no'.

And that is the end of my story.

Who am I kidding? Of course I clicked 'yes'.
I was greeted by a person going by the name of 'ervin'. Already suspicous of their lack of display picture the name being an anagram of Riven (to tear or split apart) did not do any favours to my mysterious visitor.
The conversation we had is as follows:

ervin says:

well anyway I am going to go now and catch up on some biology that I missed.
I am quite certain I will never talk to you again
as I am going to delete you.


Of course as a scientist I had to follow the link, just to come to terms with what it was. I could describe it to you making witty remarks and smart observations OR you could just follow it yourself and save me the effort!
It's like an adventure.

*cracks knuckles*

Some of the more astute readers amongst you may have noticed that my entries have been sparse as of late.
I attribute this to recently aquiring a job and not to the fact I would rather play Team Fortress 2.
...I really should stop playing that game.
I mean, just for a week or two so I can play my other games, maybe finish all those games on the Wii (I'm looking at you Metriod and Pikmin) but I digress.

So this coming Saturday I am attending a fantasy style 21st wherein we, the attendents, have to dress up as fantastical creatures! Goblins and Fairies and Elves, Oh my!
Scouring the internet I finally decided to go as a Moogle because well... come on!
So all I need to do now is grow a dangling ball off my forehead, get some demon wings, maybe undergo some drastic plastic surgery and we are on our way!

Or I could take the easy route and go as a shapeshifter who shapeshifted into me...

I was always the fan of the easy route.

Cartoons

*blows off dust from keyboard*
So while the current state of children's televsion programme may be in the gutter thanks to the collective think tanks in Disney behind Hanna Montana it isn't all that bad.

Well sure it is... but there are some good cartoons out there that may indeed live up to the glorious glory days of Anamaniacs and Pinky and the Brain.

So I will now give you the lowdown of what gets the Jeremy tick of approval.

First up is a show called Squirrel Boy. Sound riveting? Well it isn't half bad. It mainly consists of the day to day life of a talking squirrel in a nice family environment. Predictable plot lines involving talking pets follow but it is alright. It has the same guy that voices Zim from Invader Zim which by the way is an awesome show though not what I would class "children orientated".

Another good show that recently came to my attention is called Spliced. Now I have only seen 3 or 4 episodes but from what I have watched it is brilliant. One episode had one of the protaganist being goaded to eat his friend by a mayo monster. Needless to say when he actually began to eat him...
It was awesome...
That is all you need to know.
That it was awesome.

And another one that I found out about a couple of years ago is Phineas and Ferb. If you haven't heard of them then shame on you. It actually may redeem Disney slightly in my eyes for the flow of drivel coming out of them in thet form of The Jonas Brothers, Hanna Montanna... etc.

Counting

Warning: This post contains 126% of your RDI of sappiness. Incredibly Sappy. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if you drowned in all the sap that will be present in this post.


Trees. We all know them. They're tall, have leaves and some even are home to birds but what you might not know about them is that they are growing menace to the working class man.
Each year the amount of trees in the world changes number. This has a knock one effect to the people whose job it is to count them. With an ever changing amount of trees in the world their job is never done.
Additionally all the relevant datasheets have to be updated which again, costs time and money.

The hardest part for a tree counters job would have to be the tree smugglers. Grant Johnson (38) is annoyed at the growing number of residents who have taken to harbouring trees.
"Well it is incredibly annoying," says Grant, "All we are doing is cataloguing the number of trees and people all around the world are hiding them in their backyards. This throws of all our data... we may as well not collect it."

But Charlie Dreaford (34) who openly admits to having trees in his backyard has this to say about the subject:
"What? Who are you people?"

Riveting stuff indeed.
This has been another report from Jeremy Hughes.

Eye Masks

Quick question which I am sure you are completely able to answer.
How do superheroes get the eye part in their eye masks completely white and still be able to see out of it?

Exhibit A:

The Batman.


HOW DOES HE DO IT!?
So if you ever find out, tell me and/or send one in the post!

Zendikarrrrrrr

Well I just opened up a Zendikar booster pack...
I received 5 lands out of the 16 cards.
Though I did get a shiny Hideous End and another Mindbreak Trap so I am not complaining.

Hello there.
