Been given 10 free party invites for some club on my birthday, still not sure how they know when my birthday is & my address? Hmm

My first watercolour painting in a very long time. I decided to do something cute instead of just a landscape.I realise it is something a small child could do, but it was just fun
I like the consensus on #bbcqt that creationism is “barmy”. Glad our politics is not too polluted by religion.
Been to another Residents’ Association Meeting. Feeling very grown up and important! Great feedback about the website we made.
Staying at home today. Not well. It’s been one thing after the other!
If I had £1 for every time I didn’t tweet something cos it would not fit in 140 chars… my pet peeve with twitter. Must Tumblr it instead.
The BBC programme Virtual Revolution summed up my thoughts on Internet-naysayers (at least this is my interpretation):
Older people have always been afraid of every big change, if the web had been around when they were young it would not be a problem. “Generation web” are growing up not knowing what life was like without the web, just like the last generation couldn’t imagine life before the printing press, or cars.
Big changes mean lots to get used to, and the web is only 20 years young, who knows what the next 20 years will bring. Bring it on!
I really can’t take Tom Cruise seriously anymore. Shame.
Had a fun night playing Wii with my parents! Never knew I would knock out my Mum in boxing & she’d out-juggle and out-march me!
In King’s Lynn to see my Mum, Dad, sis & brother-in-law-to-be.

Our mindless mess of genes destroys the case for an intelligent creator, argues John C. Avise in Inside the Human Genome.
Result of fire drill: “If it were a real fire, you’d all be dead from the fire truck running you over”. We were all in the road, oops.

There was an advertisement for Google Chrome at our gym. Awesome!
My first box from graze.com, absolutely delicious.
Those “pillows” in the sauna (which are made from wood) = Worst. Pillows. Ever.
Just caught up on Glee (the Halo/Walking on Sunshine mashup is my fave song yet) and now off to the gym.
