Glasses

We were in the supermarket the other day and spotted a big display full of various kinds of character related glasses. I would have said super hero related as that is what they mainly were, but for some reason there was 'cars' and 'speed racer' themed ones as well. I wouldn't call ether of those super heroes. Was there a somewhat recent speed racer movie? Maybe the theme was 'recent-ish movies' I don't know. Anyway.. All up there was cars, speed racer, the hulk, batman, Spiderman and some other one I can't remember. I got one of each batman and Spiderman.



Neither are taken from their recent movie outings, and I think they look pretty 90's. I could be wrong, I was once before. Batman looks a bit too much like a body builder for my liking. The bottom of the picture declares him the 'caped crusader' and who am I too argue. The other side has the relevant logo one it, just in case you didn't know.




I've done some tests and have conclusively proved that drinking from these glasses taste 12% better than all other glasses.

Also, my spell check is picking up spiderman as a mistake (it says it should be Spiderman), but not batman. Way to pick favourites inanimate computer. No wonder batman has to work out so much; he doesn’t even get a capital letter.

Essay finished

I just finished my labour economics essay, so here is a wordle:


These things are cool, as I can fake actual content, rather then actually make it. I guess I should not be so lazy, but I'm not going to claim I'm on holidays till I've handed this in tomorrow. Stop hassling me, I'm much to busy to do anything as I'm not on holidays.

Take that!

Finished report

I just finished my accounting report. Well, finished a final draft anyway. It could probably do with another edit, but we'll see how motivated I am. As promised, here is a wordle:



Pretty interesting maybe?

Outrageous

The library keeps sending me overdue notices for books I have out. It's really annoying as they used to send reminder notices, which meant I never got fines. I think it is all part of a big cash generating conspiracy.

I've been writing a boring report all weekend. It's nearly finished but I think I've done it wrong and will be over the word count. It's annoying.

My xbox broke as well, so I had to exchange it. I lost all my saved games so I'll 'have' to play it some more to get them back.

Also it's hot and I have a blister on my foot.

Woe is me...

Cool little application

"Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends."

use mouse here to get there

I ran this site through it got the following result:


It seems I really tend to use the word really a really lot of the time. I might try running an essay through when one is finished.

No updates

No updates for ages as I've been busy with uni. Have an exam to study for next week and 2 essays to write. Both are only 2000 words so shouldn't take too long. One is on investment advice regarding Harvey Norman, the other on theoretical arguments for and against a basic income. The basic income typically refers to unconditional payment of a minimum income to all adult citizens, and replaces all other forms of social welfare. Pretty interesting stuff, although I'm yet to form an opinion on whether it is desirably. If I come up with anything particularly insightful perhaps I will post it here.
