[sight]:: Name 2 things that annoy you on/about television.
Commercials and network channels that break to commercials at the worst possible moment. I could add a third thing, and that’d be the fact that some channels have better sound than others, so I have to fiddle with the volume whenever I switch channels.
[taste]:: Name 2 of the worst tasting foods or drinks you ever had.
Salmon, and one type of fish soup.
[smell]:: Name 2 smells that you can’t stand and why:
If I’m exposed to either for extended amounts of time, I can’t stand cigarette smoke and air fresheners in cars. I don’t like cigarette smoke because it’s unhealthy. And regarding air fresheners, when I was young I had to go on these long car trips in my relative’s car, which I didn’t particularly enjoy. My relative had this strong smelling air freshener in their car, and I would always get headaches from them.
[touch]:: Name 2 things (objects, body parts, etc…) that you don’t like other people to touch and why.
I don’t like people massaging my shoulders, because it hurts. And I get protective about my laptop, which is why it’s set up so you have to log in with a password first!
[hearing]:: What are the 2 sounds/noises that most irritate you and why?
The sound of someone scratching their nails down a blackboard is the worst sound I have ever heard, it makes me shiver, and I don’t know why. Another one is the sound of my alarm clock in the mornings, since it means I’ll have to get up from bed. ![]()

Journey of a Man

I tried to create a portrait of my face using this flash app. They have a selection of features which you can move up and down and stretch etc. However, I couldn’t produce anything that looked like me. I found a reasonable nose, eyebrows, mouth, hair, and ears, but not the face shape or the eyes. My face is a lot rounder than the ones they had, and my eyes have like no eyelids.
It was pretty interesting, though, by looking at how the facial expression can change just by sliding the eyebrows up and down.
If you submit your face, too, you can see a gallery with other user submissions. Although some people had fun with constructing their faces. ![]()

I can’t believe it, I haven’t posted in this blog for two weeks already! How time flies. I have a lot of blogs to catch up on, as well as my own. ![]()
In short, the holiday was great. I got to:
- relax
- play video games (we got my cousin FFX-2 for Xmas and it’s addicting, except I still can’t grasp the concept of garment grids)
- go shopping (got a new pair of shoes for one!)
- eat at lots of family dinners (and saw some of their honeymoon pictures from Spain .. sooo many beautiful shots)
- watch DVDs (there’s a library nearby where you can borrow DVDs for a day - there was a great selection of movies!)
- tried to learn about the Linux Operating System (but I’m still quite clueless)
We set up a router at my parent’s house, so that I could get internet access on my laptop, but I didn’t use the Internet much (after Christmas) except to download stuff. I felt like getting away from it all. ![]()
