Yuletime traditions.

I've always liked traditions and superstitions, and luckily December's full of 'em.

 On Christmas Day my dad, being the secretive bastard he is; likes to play a game in which he essentially pretends he's got us a crap gift (or in some cases no gifts at all) and then at some point later in the day, whip out a gift from behind my ear or hidden in the turkey or something ridiculous along those lines. On Christmas eve, my friends and I successfully manage to go to our Christmas eve curry and eat more food that any one man should ever eat. On Boxing Day I like to spend the day simply sitting around playing with anything new and then, at 1pm exactly, go for a wee walk around my hometown just so I feel like I've done some exercise in the last few weeks. 

Wherever you are, whatever you do, whatever you believe, I think it's nice to think of this as a time for things you know with people you love. 

Merry Christmas.

P.s My dad just told me I'm a loser with no friends for writing a blog to myself on Christmas day. Good times.

P.s.s I just read this and thought it was pretty suitable for the Christmas season. Happy holidays x

La Blogotheque.

To those who haven't been there before, the land of Youtube can be a terrifying place. But once you get past the videos of fat kids falling over and homemade rap videos, there are some gems to be found. La Blogotheque are a French company who film mainly up and coming bands in and around the streets of Paris. This video of Bon Iver might be my favourite thing on the internet, so put some headphones on and enjoy it.

Doodles, part one.

I said in one of my earlier posts that I've started drawing, and due to PHENOMENAL public demand (I'm joking) here are a couple of things I've done. I've only drawn two in pen thus far, I tried scanning the pencil ones in and you couldn't see anything. Eventually I'll put up some more.

House points for guessing who's who.
