BlogVoices are not going down and out. The kind people at Pyra have offered some spareroom for it :)

I do not like being in situations where it's absolutely best to be as clueless as possible. It makes my head start spinning and the thoughts racing here and there where they really shouldn't be. ANd yes I am talking about a specific situation here, but I cannot talk about it more than I have and probably shouldn't have said what I've said.

Think my body is finally demanding the sleep it has been lacking so much, the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately it is happening when I shouldn't be sleeping, but up and awake and do business around the house. I guess some day, some where I'll get my sleeping patterns turned around to where they oughta be.

I'm starting to have the feeling of cabin fever. I really want to get out, meet people, see and learn new things, make new experiences but unfortunately the fact is (For my area) that unless you have a car or other means of transportation you're stuck untill someone is willing to take you somewhere. I can't wait until the day I can make my own little trips and discoveries and in general be more independent. Bob knows all this. Thank god he is great at getting me out of the house when he senses that the cabin fever are getting too bad.

Why do I get so many creative ideas just when I've gone to bed and am trying to get some sleep? Am I the only one? Mail Me and let me know. I had one idea tonight I just had to get out and down on the digital canvas. Nothing fancy or really great, just needed to get it out before I was thinking it to death (You'll see it later). There's another one but it's one which takes a little more work and planning. Anyway I'm going to try and see if I can get some sleep.

I'm subscribed to a news group for and about tutorials for Paint Shop Pro, where people also can post their results of working with different tutorials. However all people do is to pat eachother on the back for great work, even though it might be terrible looking. I have yet to see anyone giving any piece of constructive criticism such as "you should try a little soften here or there", "those colors doesn't work well together", "try using the smudge brush", "I see a couple of stray pixels", "you should try to cut down on the texturizing to give it a more natural look". I know what will happen if I started to give that kind of advice, I would be knocked up side down from left and right. It has happened before in regards to the copyright issue. People say they're just there to play, have fun and learn, but how can they learn if they don't get some feedback about how to improve their skills? I do not claim to be the best one at doing webgraphics, but I do hope that people would be honest enough to let me know if there is anthing that is totally out of whack. Maybe I should make my own "Top 10 Graphics Peeves" on my graphics site. I'm just afraid that it would be a lot longer than just 10 items.

I'm thinking of merging New Horizons into this page since Crunchblog seems to be the place where most things are happening besides the Graphics page and the Galleries. It would be one place less to maintain and doesn't take up much more than 4 or 5 MB of space which hardly would make a dent in the amount of space I have here at the CrunchBlog account. Hmm decisions, decisions.

I almost forgot to mention that I've got something coming in the mail and I can't wait. I managed to persuade Bob to order The Commitments which is a great movie with some really great music and with a good story too.Just looked at the Amazon page and it looks like we got the very last copy (WOAH never been that lucky before :), so don't bother trying to order it from them.

From metafileter.com: Now this story about a Christian theme park is amusing. Would I visit? Probably not, but everyone their own taste I guess.

Ahhh danish meatballs in an insanely hot currysauce with rice. That's what I call a good dinner :) And the leftovers will be even better when the spices really have had time to blend in. Which reminds me.... Am I the only one who should cook the day before so spices have time to blend? It always ssems that whenever I'm cooking and we have for the second day, it tastes so much better than the day before.

There are days where I really could use a "write it all out" kind of place which not everyone has access to, because there are things I really could use letting off steam about. Things of a very personal nature to me. *sigh* If I had a mood indicator on my page if would change status faster than the wind blows. *curling up and hugging myself* :(

Sometimes when doing my round of reading blogs I feel like a peep who shouldn't be looking at or reading what I am looking at and reading. But there is something facinating about being allowed to get insight into certain parts of peoples lives. It's like reading a great book while the story is taking place, and you cannot get yourself to put the book down. But I still feel like I'm reading something I shouldn't be......

Anyone know if the numbers here are true?75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.
Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
