A good start to the year

I went to bed with a headache last nightand turned my phone off, having completely forgot I was turning 35 at midnight. I woke up this morning to find five different people had tried to call just after midnight, but had entirely failed to get through. My parents left a lovely message entirely comprising of them singing Happy Birthday to me, with the dog making confused noises in the background. There were also two texts, a Wall post and an email. So I currently have a huge grin on my face.

In a mo I will get dressed and head to work - but this afternoon I'm off to see Foo Fighters/Nine Inch Nails. I'm sure I've done better things on my birthday, but none spring to mind...

Scott Adams is funny

I blogged about a similar story last year, where a guy climbed into a lion’s cage and yelled something about God protecting him. That turned out to be bad luck. The guy managed to find the ONE lion that God loves more than people.

I'd tell you the punchline to the story, but it's well worth clicking here and seeing where the story goes...

Mr Reznor rocks his socks off.

Best. Wedding. Proposal. Ever.
