waiting at the airport

travelling always makes me realise why I hate travelling.  I have always maintained that people aee dumb and the more of is there are in one place the dumber we collectively get. Take for example today. people are simply not organised and people can't seem to follow rules efficiently or effectively.  I observed so many people trying to bring liquids on board in carry on luggage and there are signs everywhere.  one woman had actually drank approximately 400ml of her 500ml water and argued she should be able to keep it...  amatuers

Who wants to eat my snowballs? A story of baking

I decided to make some odd christmas cookies the other night - snowballs. I am really not sure how famous this cookie is or even how many variations there may be, but what can you do? First things first... create a standard sugar cookie dough then crush some candy canes and mix them thorughly into the dough.  Form the dough into a ball, stare at its majesty and take a picture. Using WASHED HANDS(you just took a picture) rip pieces of the large dough ball and roll them into balls. put the balls on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

I found this great app it's one part baseball game and one part card collecting game. The action is pretty simple. You are given a stack of your favourite team's cards to start and from there you can play the game to earn points to get better cards. It may seem quite juvenile but the sports part of the game is very strong.  The designers of the game smartly omitted what would likely be the hardest part on a mobile device: running and fielding.  one of the things I don't like is that your leveling up of a card can fail. This can be very annoyingas you will have to keep paying out more and more of your precious points! overall a great app for android. pros: good baseball action, fast paced, free cons: card collecting is slow and too random, power ups can be annoying
