As much as I’d love to leave my entry about Sharon at the top, so that everyone saw it when they looked at my blog, I thought it was time to post a new entry.

Reflections

All of us that can look into mirrors see reflections, that’s a common fact. However, can you see reflections when you look into glass? I can. I’ve never really heard anyone say that they can see reflections in glass, so it’s always made me feel like I’ve had some sort of special power.

When I look into glass I see through it, obviously, but I can also see a reflection of what’s infront of the glass, as you would with a mirror. It’s very faint during the day, and is brighter at night. Just wondering if anyone else sees this?

If so then damn you! I wanted to be special.

The trouble with CSS is that sometimes the completely wrong things can appear in the completely wrong places.

CSS is basically the backbone of HTML, which will apply a particular style to all webpages with that style applied to it. It makes managing and creating websites much easier.

This is something that came to me just now. Although I’m not entirely sure how to articulate it.

In English cuisine you have the ’sunday roast’, which I’m sure most people are aware of. Now, the type of meat you have generally varies: Chicken, turkey, lamb, beef, pork… Ok, people will venture to duck and everything else, nevermind. Basically, when you have lamb you’ll have mint sauce (if I remember correctly). However, if you’re not having lamb then you generally won’t have mint sauce, because it isn’t traditional.

If you like one thing, and you like the other, why not have them both together regardless of tradition?

I like peanut butter, and I also like bacon… I’d have no problem with eating them both together in a sandwich. I seriously don’t get how people can like, say, two things, but when someone suggests putting them together, they’ll be all “eurgh, that’s gross.”

Ever seen those cookery programs with the ‘upper class’ people eating the food… And they’ll basically go into an anatomical discussion and review of a fucking yogurt or something. Discuss weight to calorie, or whatever. That sort of critique of food really, really annoys me. I can’t stand the snobbery of ‘upper class’ people eating food. It makes me want to tell them what I think of their caviar and make them eat Super Noodles for a month.

Rant over.

Someone bought one of the new “CocaCola Zero” drinks home for me… So I wasn’t with them when they bought it. I’m assuming from looking at the bottle though, that it’s a replacement for Diet Coke.

The label says:
“great Coke taste… Zero sugar”

I think they did this because kids will naturally avoid anything that says “diet” in big letters, and simply want to cram in as much sugar as they want to… So CocaCola made a “cool” new name for their diet coke, guessing that kids won’t see the diet, and will instead see “Coke Zero” and buy it.

I guess it’s another one of those stupid health & safety things that this country is dominated with, kids could get diabetes, so let’s deprive them of all their sugar and everything.

Diet Coke is absolutely disgusting. Coke without sugar is like pasta without sauce.

Just thought it was comical that they renamed their Diet Coke (presumably) to try and get more people to buy it.
