For all you Sexy Things

You might not want to watch this for too long... but you might want to watch it.

With the oncoming spring time, I find myself yet again regretting not purchasing that linen suit at Primark. This title is

a reference to an older blog found here.

I love the changing of the seasons, but perhaps the change from winter to spring is the most exciting of all. There are so many new things to see and new life to celebrate. DC is turning green, the cherry blossoms have come out, and it is once again pleasurable to sit in the sunshine and read. Right now I'm reading Far From the Madding Crowd the last of my Thomas Hardy novels I'll read for a while. So far I like it very much, not as much as Jude or Tess, but I think more than Return of the Native and maybe about as much as the Mayor of Casterbridge. Summer time also means more reading time.

If only I could do that reading on a Sunday afternoon under a large umbrella, sipping lemonade, wearing a linen suit. Even seersucker would do.

Aed, we may have to jam in the near future - in a mountain meadow perhaps... and later on, barbecue.

I still think this is a low estimate

Now we can

finally know. Or at least finally guesstimate with the aid of an online quiz made by someone. So, answer honestly and find out how many 5-year-olds you could take in a basketball court sized space.

Here are the rules of the fight they came up with:

This short survey will tell you approximately how many five year old children you could fight at once. Results are based on physical prowess, training, swarm-combatting experience, and the flexibility of your moral compass. Here are the ground rules:

* You are in an enclosed area roughly the size of a basketball court
* There are no weapons or foreign objects
* Everyone is wearing a cup (so no kicks to the groin)
* The children are merciless and will show no fear
* If a child is knocked unconscious, he is "out." The same goes for you.

A New and Exciting Milestone Approaches

Because I was bored and messing with some financial things wondering how much I spent per day etc, I found a new milestone. As of today, April 1, 2008, I have lived 9,535 days. This means that on Friday, July 10, 2009, I will have lived for 10,000 days. I think that there should be, no, there needs to be some kind of celebration on that day. Liz, you can celebrate too as you'll hit the 10,000 day mark on the 7th I think.

Anyway, we ought to do something. I don't know where people will be, but maybe I will wait to watch the movie 10,000BC on the day I turn 10,000 days old. I'm not really sure that would even be a good way to celebrate.

If you're interested, here is where I went to calculate it out. Pretty sweet.
