Merging two words to make one stupid-ass one

Lately I've noticed a huge increase in the use of words merged from two other words, the one that stands out the most is "chillaxing". Now what the fuck is a chillax, I (don't) hear you ask? Apparently it's a mix of chilling and relaxing. Relaxing I understand, it's something I like to do a lot, but chilling (out) is a very American thing. Brits shouldn't chill, we're not cool enough (pun intended), we're generally far too uptight to chill.

My Boring-Ass Life

Currently reading My Boring-Ass Life, the uncomfortably candid diary of Kevin Smith. I'm only on page 35, but I'm loving this insight into the daily ritual of my favourite movie director.

So far highly recommended, this book is going to responsible for a few late nights in the coming week.

Bright future for oil?

Saw an article in the Times this morning that caught my attention. With the price of crude oil soaring higher and higher, on opposite sides of the world, two companies are working with microscopic bugs to create oil substitutes that will hopefully create fuel for the future.

Who ever said graffiti wasn't art?

Why is it?.....

...that Robert Mugabe has been able to get away with what he's doing for so long, and nobody has taken him out?

Oh yeah, he doesn't have any oil. Silly me.

Screwed for doing my bit

I like to think I'm a little greener than the average person. I grow my own fruit and vegetables, I recycle most of my waste, I compost, I collect rain water to water my garden, I use energy saving lightbulbs throughout my house. And I drive a diesel car.

Now the reason for my choice of car is two-fold. It is economical which saves me a little money every time I have to fill it up, and its emissions are lower than its petrol counterpart (which also means I pay less road tax).
