Posting from Lahore. Anyway, having lots of fun and can't be bothered to blog much (do you blame me?)
I have been to Sialkot and will be visiting Karachi very soon. Hope all is well in the blogging world :)
(B email your address, left it at home...doh!)

This'll be my last post before I head off to Pakistan tomorrow. Have fun everyone and I'll keep you updated :)

Previously my site had been taking ages to load due to blogvoices, the discussion part you see after each post. For the past couple of weeks however I have been using this trick. The only thing is that you have to manually change the comment count each time, which can be a pain but even I can handle that, being a extraordinarily lazy person. Anyway, great 'bodge' Rob. Even though I always use 'bodge up' in the context of when something gets messed up. Like 'Oh no, my new haircut is so bodged up! I'm going to sue the hairdresser.' I love English slang, one of the perks of living here, along with persistent rain.
p.s. The title 'Junkyard Wars' sounds so much better than it's British counterpart 'Scrapheap Challenge'. I've watched both and they're not really my cup of tea. Robert Llewellyn still rocks though.

Not even the p-p-p-p-p-penguins are safe anymore.

I saw the funniest thing today. There was an accident in the town centre. No that's not the funny thing, I'm not that mean. Anyway, no one was hurt but both parties were standing there with their respective passengers discussing insurance I presume. One however was rather preoccupied with his hair. Yup, he had his comb out and everything, delicately brushing his locks.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaargh, we're gonna crash!!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaargh, nevermind that, my hair!!!!"
Some people eh?

Oh, how I wish I could do flashy stuff like this.

I bought a lavender perfume for 'the body, room and linen' from Marks and Sparks today. I wish I had bought another couple of bottles to avoid the danger of being out of stock if they stop selling it. It's just so divine, I'd hate if that happened. I sprayed it on my top and can't stop smelling it. People'll start to think I'm wiping my nose with my top or that I'm just very strange. Oh, but it's so worth it.

I made a make-believe boy band here and apparently this is their fate:

The Eejits (that's what I named them...what?) score a modest hit with "We're the Eejits". They perform "We're the Eejits" on the outdoor stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, but then quickly fade out of the limelight. Ten years later, they appear on VH1's "Where Are They Now?" along with other flashes in the pan, like the Baha Men and LFO. By then, the boys have all joined the Peace Corps and are schoolteachers in Bangladesh. But they can still harmonize like nobody's business.

I haven't written in a while have I? That fact that you noticed really touches me. Also indicates your lack of a life but we won't dwell on that too much. The reason for my absence is that I'm preparing for my trip to Pakistan on Saturday. A woo hoo. I'm off for about three weeks but I'll try to add entries from there too. Then again, I probably won't. All that fun to be had and what not.

This site is amazing. Not only is that little ninja way too cute, this guy's drawings are awe-inspiring.

"Your name of Saima gives you a very idealistic but passive outlook on life. You desire culture and all the refinements of life but you are inclined to live in your dreams. Although you would like to do many things, procrastination undermines your accomplishment and success in life. You do not like to create issues and will do anything to avoid a conflict. Making decisions is difficult for you without the support and approval of others. This name gives you a very sensitive nature, making you feel much that you do not understand. Your feelings are easily hurt, at which times you are inclined to withdraw and become uncommunicative. Although you desire the friendship and association of others, you find it difficult to express your thoughts through the spoken word, and others find you hard to get to know. It is much more natural for you to express your deeper thoughts in writing. Inner tension can deplete your physical vitality. You are inclined to indulge in rich foods that lack proper nourishment. The physical weaknesses due to this name centre in the heart and respiratory organs, and in the fluid functions."

What a load of twaddle.

Each date you have is a disaster....in fact, if distrastrous dates was in the dictionary (I know that's unlikely) they'd have a picture of you next to it. Those bastards. Well fear not my friend because help is at hand with this dating guide. With a guide to different types of dating specimen, dating no-nos and typical bad dates you shall no longer wallow in your loserdom....well maybe.

I'm useless at making up excuses. There's only so many times you can use the old 'washing my hair' trick. So the great people at nike-women.com came up with this excuse maker. Not only can you 'drag-and-drop' you're own excuses, you can also have a look at the little lies others have come up with in the Hall of Fame. But it doesn't stop there, oh no! They've also been kind enough to supply their visitors with a Book of Lies. So go order yours now, essential reading I'd say.

I'm sure you've heard about this already but a Google-inspired search engine for web logs cannot be advertised enough.

Wow, I am so impressed. Not to mention extremely jealous.

Get someone's hopes up and send them this Valentine's card.

Happy birthday Faisal!

I'm back, did you miss me?

Graham Norton covers ear fetishes in his show. Could I love this man anymore?

This makes me wish I was going to SXSW even more.

Being a bit older (don't know about wiser) than when I first watched Carrie I realise how much she actually overreacted. God forbid you stepped on her toe while dancing. That may have been a case of 'Farewell America'.

This place gets hotter by the minute.

The Brother From Another Series. My new favourite Simpsons episode. Starring Kelsey Grammar and his on-screen brother Niles. Need I say more?

I will not yell "She's Dead" during roll call

.......he said "Have it short on top and long at the back", and a mullet was born
