Dancing

I strongly recommend a good bruck out boogaloo every once in a while.

It helps ease the nerves and get a good sweat out of your system.

If you're too shy to get down with your badself on the dancefloor, then atleast wave your hands.

Anti-consumerism


Just like Raymond's older brother told Zoro (Raymond) in Wild Style, "You at home doin' this shit?? You should be earning a medal for this!" There's graffiti on the walls and some of it makes sense.

I don't want to turn your attention towards writers getting up all over the place, but instead pay homage to those individuals who see how much harm advertising does to our environment. I'll settle for a wake-up call about consumerism over blatant vandalism anyday.

Pizza


You can't go wrong with pizza.

This is my main man 'Tonio over at Pizza Cotto about to serve up a 'kilo' (that's how he describes them) of goodness straight from the brick oven. Once you've tasted a real Italian pizza cooked with flames in a brick oven, then there's no going back to cookie cutter , machine handled atrocities.

In Italy pizza is served as a sort of appetizer where you rip off however much you want. It's just baked bread with whatever topping you like. You make it as fancy as you want, as big as you want and you don't even need a knife and fork. Pizza is the best.

Snooker


Snooker is a great game.

Whilst most of us are happy with a round of pool, the real skill comes when you step up to a snooker table. The table is almost 3 times the size of pool table, the pockets and balls are smaller, and the cue's are skinnier. The aim of the game is to prevent your opponent from playing by consecutively potting balls and scoring the majority of available points for a frame. A red ball is worth 1 point, yellow 2, green3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6 and black 7. After each red ball potted, a player must play a colour. The colour, if potted, is replaced on the table until all reds are potted and then the player must pot the colours in their ascending order.

The highest break, or consecutive point scoring, is 147.

Snooker takes a lot of practice and mental stamina because the cueball must be controlled and one mistake can result in losing a frame. A phenomenon known as a kick that makes two balls in contact jump and lose control is still under examination by snooker experts for it's cause. Some believe it might be due to static electricity or chalk.

Moomin the cat




Doesn't she look cute?

Don't let the Puss in Boots stare fool you. Cats are smart. Moomin doesn't take any nonsense from anyone, not even cats 10 times her size. The vet said she would always be a playful cat, so I guess that means I'll always have scratches up my arms.

Moomin had a sister who was much calmer. I wonder where she is now..?
