Blog EntryChoose my hair colourDec 19, '06 7:57 AM

What colour should Dave's hair go?
   

As I mentioned here, I was looking for something completely pointless to do, and since 'dye my hair' was one of the  only ideas that wouldn't be expensive or encroach on whatever pitiful amount of free time I still have, I figured I'd go for it.

And since I'm doing something fairly stupid, I figured why not make it more so and let a group, filled with people I've never met, make the choice for me. I'm not promising to listen to the majority, I'm already leaning towards either white or blue, but I'm interested in your opinions on the subject.

(Just for any reference, my hair is currently brown, check profile picture for further illustration)

Oh, and the deadline is when I wake up Wednesday morning/early afternoon GMT.



Blog EntryStuck in a Rut (Call for a list)Nov 14, '06 10:07 PM
for everyone
It occurred to me today dear reader, that I have been doing the same thing day after day for weeks on end now. Today I happened to notice a poster advertising a mountaineering holiday in Kilimanjaro (sp). This just seemed like an amazing idea to me, but unfortunately my limited funds precluded me from giving the idea proper consideration. But it did put things in perspective for me a little. Last year I tried out skydiving. Before that I went backpacking across America. This year? So far my grandest achievement is learning to juggle. I feel melancholy, bored, I'm in a rut. Spare time has been hard to come by, and that which I do get is often best spent on something productive.

But, on the other hand, bollocks to that. It's been too long since I did something fresh and new purely for the excitement of doing it. So I've done some thinking and come up with a list of things to achieve in the near future:
  • Buy a motorbike - This one has been on my to do list for far too long but keeps getting put off on the grounds that I have no money
  • Visit Japan. Eat fugu, and visit Mt Fuji
  • See the northern lights. I've seen pictures of them and they look all shiny and pretty.
  • Enter the World Series of Poker - I like to play, and there are too few games can you win in the highest tournament with pure luck?
  • See my favourite singer perform live - He's a singer/songwriter from the west coast of America so this is easier said than done.
  • See a polar bear (in its natural habitat)
  • Have lunch in Seattle's revolving restaurant - I've been there but was too skint at the time.
  • Go to Africa,
  • I've never been there before and people keep making a big deal of it.
  • Dye hair stupid colour - Simple and easy, I might do this one next week
  • Go on a week long camping trip (I'm not sure exactly why I want to do this)
  • Party so late that have to start the next day without rest at least once
  • Patent an invention rather than just muse about hypothetical ones
  • Spend at least a month building a ridiculously elaborate fancy dress costume, for halloween or other celebration.

    Suggestions would be much appreciated.
