Movie
Went to see Mad Bastards on Friday night - interesting! Very cheerful, lots of belly laughs NOT!
Work
Working in a totally different environment for a while - good thing is I can actually walk to work, it takes more than 5 minutes
Went to the Million Paws Walk yesterday - never seen so many different shapes and sizes in one place - dogs and people. Was looking forward to seeing some ferrets but didn't spot any!

Creative Spirit (Wiki)
Creative Spirit
I have just signed up with Wetpaint, so ....Welcome to the land of randomness - who knows what will happen here! Apart from the fact that I have cluttered up another molecule of cyberspace with mad ramblings and crazy vagaries, hopefully we shall have some FUN!!
Thought:
I agree with Jane's comments regarding Wetpaint, and I absolutely do not understand the point of it, blogging is much more fun and PBWorks (our work wiki) a much better wiki to work with - without all the ads and links - but it was another learning experience - one to FORGET!

BLOGGING TIPS
I'm not crazy about RSS feeds, I found it difficult to find anything that was not American and pertinent to my interests. The sites I liked didn't have the little symbol so no chance there!
And quite frankly I couldn't be bothered spending any more time looking for 'feeds' of interest. Perhaps as I locate a few in the future I will add them to my blog for convenience - beats logging into Reader every time!
Also, the sheer volume - I already have 671 news items to read and 36 episodes to watch!! - and that is in one week! Gawd, I'll never get fit and lose weight at this rate! Perhaps I should strap my computer to the back of the dog and jog after the dog on my Zamia trips!

April Fools Day
Did you know:
The spaghetti tree hoax is a famous 3-minute hoax report broadcast on April Fools' Day 1957 by the BBC current affairs programme Panorama.
It told a tale of a family in southern Switzerland harvesting spaghetti from the fictitious spaghetti tree, broadcast at a time when this Italian dish was not widely eaten in the UK and some Britons were unaware spaghetti is a pasta made from wheat flour and water.
Hundreds of viewers phoned into the BBC, either to say the story was not true, or wondering about it, with some even asking how to grow their own spaghetti trees.
Decades later CNN called this broadcast "the biggest hoax that any reputable news establishment ever pulled."[1]
