I know I have weird music taste, but at least I’m ductile
Anyone got any suggestions for new music? I got the new Prime Circle album and listened to that on Saturday, but today I’m back to my ipod playlist on which I have a couple more songs from the Scorpions. Their music seems to make me work well. LOL.

Ever heard of the “Flash Mob”? I haven’t, till I opened IOL tonight. Maybe I’m just a bit uninformed, but this really intrigued me…

Here’s what it is: In modern usage, flash mob describes a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other communications networks.

Flash mobs did the rounds in Europe in the summer of 2003, and apparently this strange phenomenon finally hit South Africa. Here’s the summary article from IOL

Saturday shoppers at the V&A Waterfront were gob-smacked when about 150 people arrived at the area near the amphitheatre and staged a lively mass pillow-fight.

At precisely 12.07pm on Saturday the area was invaded by a horde of pillow-wielding young people who spent about a minute energetically beating each other about the head and face before collapsing briefly, then scattering.

The incident, organised by Brandon Matley, 20, and Andrew Kerr, 20, was described by Matley as a flash mob event following a global trend of similar occurrences. During these events a group convenes in a public space, briefly does something unexpected or random then swiftly disappears.

Pretty weird, huh? I find it even more weird that I’ve been left in the dark about this for so long!

Today is the 1st of March, and I started thinking about the poor leap babies who didn’t have birthdays this year. I’m not one of them, but I do know a ‘leap baby’, and he celebrates his birthday on the 28th.

I read in an article how one is suppose to calculate when you should celebrate your birthday, here’s what they suggested…

To figure the right day to celebrate your birthday, you add 365 and one-quarter days to the hour of your birth. Suppose you were born February 29, 1972 at 10 PM. Then 365 and one-quarter days went by and behold, the first anniversary of your birth hour came on March 1, 1973, at about 4 AM.

That somehow just seems like too much effort though – I like the idea of celebrating on the 28th of Feb, as its at least still in the same month.

So here’s to all the leap babies! Hope you had a splendid birthday, whether you celebrated yesterday or doing so today!
