Edit: New Facebook page to celebrate the 1000 views, since my ad didn't work (http://www.facebook.com/pages/One-way-Ticket/279222415462522?sk=wall)
To quote angsty rockers Staind – ‘It’s been a while’ though in this case, it has been a while since I last blogged, not since I…well I am not sure what he is signing about to be honest. Lost love or being alone, I think…either way he could do with a cup of tea and a Puppy.

For those who actively follow my blog, I have three announcements this entry.
The first is simple: Over 1000 views!!! 1073 last time I checked. Not too bad for somebody who only really uses Facebook to advertise (as my celebratory advert wasn’t allowed by google ads). So thank you all very much for reading my poorly written prose! The winner of my competition was Matt Farvolden from Canada who has yet to inform me of the marathon and charity he wishes me to run/run for. Knowing Matt, it may be the thing that finally kills me.
Secondly, for those who are interested…it wasn’t a testicle. It turned out to be a delicious rum ball, which was a much more pleasant alternative I have to say.
Finally, I am thinking of moving to Wordpress as there seems to be a decent community of bloggers out there but this will be decided later. The other alternative would be my own site but somehow I think that may be out of my league. Any advice would be welcome!
So…what has happened to Vanilla Pod since my last post? Not too much to be honest. Three farmers markets, two wedding receptions and one Christmas dinner (plus pay day).
The Farmers market I have spoke about but it is worth mentioning because I got some cinnamon sugar cookies from a stall there. Sweet mother of Zeus did they taste like Ambrosia. I bought them originally due to my social awkwardness because I got talking to the stall owner and felt like I had to buy something. Finally, my ineptness at socialising has paid off! Melt in your mouth doesn’t even begin to describe it…they oozed deliciousness. If I started growing blue fuzz and repeatedly saying cookie, it was worth it. The homemade bread and terrine was pretty good as well.
Two wedding receptions in one week? It would be impressive if one of my co-workers hadn’t been to three weddings in one day. I’m not even sure this is possible. Still, I don’t really like people so it is impressive for me. I even learned some Nepalese dances and got a Kata from the father of the bride. It did help to have an open bar as well…though I did enjoy them to be honest.
Finally, the Christmas dinner. It was…ok. Having a Christmas dinner with a whole bunch of strangers and sitting in the sun does not scream Christmas spirit at me. However, it was a change of pace and it was nice to see the British Embassy. As mentioned on Facebook, the highlight was seeing Santa Claus arriving on a rickshaw. That made up for the poor mince pies (shame as I love mincepies).
So, onto other internet things:
The Oatmeal - It makes me giggle from time to time, so thought I would share it!
Todays video is Miyavi - Senor Senora Senorita. Very catchy and fairly new to my music list. Great song to listen to when working!
Hopefully I will get more regular about posting and hopefully more interesting. Until then, I have posted some stats below just for fun. You can even write a report about it, if you really want!
