The day's only just begun...

...and already it feels like it has been going on too long. I need a holiday. A real one. One where the brain is disengaged for a while and worries are forgotten about. I've really not stopped over the last few years and it's starting to get to me. I shall be on holiday a week tomorrow so that's something to look forward to.

Last night I was checking the statistics for my website (this website) and was shocked to see 1120 hits over the last week: way above average. Stranger still was the break-down of when these requests occurred. 3am seem to be when it all happened. I'm not sure what exactly has been going on, the UWA stats are utterly crap so I can't find out where those requests came from or what they were for.

Another weird thing was the fact that somebody requested /atlantagrape.mpg, /atlantagrape.mov, /atlantagrape.mpeg, and /atlantagrape.mpa none of which exist. They never have existed on my userspace and they never will so I have no idea why anyone would request them - they'd have had to have typed the address manually to make those requests.

Out of interest I tried searching Google for "atlantagrape" which revealed another Blog which contained a link to the rather odd video clip. Personally I thought it was an awful clip. A woman falls of a platform onto her arms, which would of course force her arms into her chest and knocking the wind out of her. It's a painful and scary experience to be fully winded, it can take some time to regain the ability to breathe and there's nothing funny about it.

Out of boredom I then searched for some more "funny" clips. It amazes me what some people find funny. According to one site the funniest clip as voted for by their viewers was the classic clip of a kitten sitting on its hind legs waving its front paws in front of a much bigger cat. Which then pounces on it.

That clip was vaguely humerous when I first saw it about 5 years ago. It never classed as hilarious at any point in my mind. In fact none of the videos on that website were particularly funny.

All well.

This morning when I was making my lunch I accidently nudged the kettle which made a loud spitting noise. I was a little surprised by this and so nudged it again. It spat again. Odd. Why would it make that noise? I looked and saw that it was switched on. As I was the first up that had to mean the kettle had been switched on with no water in it all night. It's a wonder the thing didn't melt. I switched it off and put some water in to cool it down. I live with some very odd people.

I just remembered a dream I had the other night where I was covered in those little yellow and black ladybirds. It was horrible. Then a little Robin landed on my hand and started pecking at them, but it had a sharp beak. I woke up with quite a start after that and it took me about an hour to get back to sleep. Damn anxiety dreams.

Suppose I should do some work, I have plenty to be getting on with.
