Are you chicken or what? Ah yes, and I can be silly, too!

Hey, seems like nobody is signing up for cubicgarden’s Powerpoint Karaoke (that is Powerpoint, Ian, not Power Point). I consider it a wonderfully stupid idea and I am game.

In other news, I started a stupid new blog and flickr group. The idea was born when I pointed out to a friend that it is amazing that women have so many shoes and handbags. She then asked me how many T-Shirts I have and I did realize that I have far too many. So what I will do now is:

  • Wear a different T-Shirt every day
  • Upload the Shirt photo to flickr and blog its story
  • Decide whether to keep or ditch it

All the ditched shirts will go either to a charity shop or to the clothes bank (depending on their state) or you can claim them on the blog (I will not cover postage, so that is on your cap).
