Still Growing

I'm alone in the office today so I am taking the chance to catch up on some time-wasting things. You may be interested to know the Rubber Band ball has grown since you last saw it in August from 5.8cm to 6.2cm.

Growing Big and Strong

I have set new rules with regards to the rubber band ball. I can only add to it when I’m on the phone. I really do need to find something more useful to do with my phone time.

Another Test

Anyone seen Firefly or the movie Serenity? Maybe you’ve seen both. In which case you’ll like this quiz found on the intermanet by The Other Andrew. If you haven’t seen either…nothing to see here!

According the the quiz…I’m an 85% match to Zoe Washburn second in charge. I’m an 80% match for Captain Reynolds himself. Shame they took this show of the air after only one season.

Your results:
You are Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command)









Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command)
85%
Malcolm Reynolds (Captain)
80%
Inara Serra (Companion)
70%
Dependable and trustworthy.
You love your significant other and
you are a tough cookie when in a conflict.

Odds On

In times of extreme boredom (usually at work) or my lunch hour (also at work) I will go to Wikipedia and push the random article button. This is the result of Hubby telling me about it after he was bored at work and discovered it

Now, as some of you may know I made a New Years resolution to go and see more bands play live in 2007. In fact I set myself the goal of 30 bands that I had never seen before, but I could see any I liked more than once. Currently I sit at 14 bands 23 times.

So what are the chances of the Random Article today, being about a band? I’m sure there is a smartie-pants out there somewhere that could work out the odds for me.
Anyway, it was indeed a band, Nuclear Death to be exact.

Unfortunately they are from the States and broken up, but a band none the less.

Well Fed

The little bugger grew overnight, it's now 3.4cm. I suppose I should expect it grow after all it does live next to the pile of rubber bands and I'm sure the cleaners do something while they're here.

Mondayitis

It’s Monday and in light of me having a fairly social weekend that’s already been blogged I have a few things random things to report about my Monday so far, so here’s a list;

1. I’m bored at work.
2. Edna is unwell with a chesty problem. No, her boobs are fine, but her lungs are having issues. So I took her a heater in my lunch break and haven’t had anyone to email and look busy with all day. Get Well Soon babe!
3. I’m surfing blogs and have read a few new ones (nothing standout) but did find out that my review from the other night got a link from Syms blog…ta mate!
4. The first Ramdom Article on Wikipedia was a rather interesting piece on the song ‘Sea of Love’
5. The second random article was about Inverell in New South Wales. Never been there, but it’s just north of the Central Coast & Hunter alpaca region boarder and they hold a pretty good show I hear.
6. My Rubber Band ball is now 3.1cm in diameter.
7. I wrote a letter to my penfriend in Washington DC
8. Read an article about Wally De Backer and Gotye from the Sydney Morning Herald Good Weekend magazine, it was very short, so it didn’t take long.
9. Did I already say I’m bored at work?

Rubber Band Ball

I eat sushi. And I eat a lot of it. So much so, that I had a pepper pot rapidly disappearing under a stack of rubber bands (they use them to hold shut the takeaway boxes). Yesterday I picked up something from the printers and it came back to me with rubber bands, 84 of them. So now I have about 150 rubber bands and I don’t want to throw them out.

Now as you have probably gathered from the four posts in one day, that I’m not all that busy at work, just at the moment, so I decided to make a rubber band ball. I’ve never made one before.

I will post a photo of mine when it’s done (currently it's 2.5cm in diameter).
