You may have heard me saying how I am going to go to Japan at some point?  Well, sadly it’s not going to be this year..

But all is not lost.  No sir!

I will be venturing to Miami Beach on 28th July which, I am sure will prove to be one to remember!  I have seen many films and TV shows filmed in Miami so I know it’s glamorous.  The weather in August according to some weather sites is making Miami look like a scorcher!  Average temperatures of around 30° and constant sunshine can’t be bad!

Ok, so we do sometimes get that heat here in the UK but it isn’t very reliable.  For example, we might get a week where it starts out colder than expected, rains for the next three days, calms down for day 5, then knocks out a scorching day when people least expect it on day 6.  Then after having that unexpected day, we all wear less the next day thinking we might have the same again..  Nope, the week ends with a storm then the cycle continues throughout the British summer.

Well, I have decided if I am going to go to Miami with all the beach and sand, I need to have myself a beach body.  So, I shall be ditching the chocolates at break times and replacing that with a healthier alternative.  Maybe an apple?  Maybe fruit juice and a sandwich?  I have no idea, but it is completely necessary to do this.

Why?

You have probably already heard the announcement of the new iPhone?  Well, it’s nearly here.  On 11 July 2008 at a time currently unknown to me stores around the world will simultaneously release the new iPhone for all of us to play with.  Lets face it, thats the reason you get an iPhone right?  To play with?  not to make phone calls surely?

After some time to think about it, I have decided I will be joining the mass of people outside my nearest o2 store waiting to get my hands on the gadget!

Ever wondered how they do it?

Well, which do you associate more with? Fat, or skinny? Ever wondered how the other goes about their daily life? How did they get so fat? How did they get so skinny?

Some people eat lots and don’t exercise at all and remain slim.. Some do the opposite and still remain fat. How? It’s one of those mysteries that I personally don’t think I know the answer to.

This is the first year in my life that I have had the symptoms of hay fever!  I am still coming to terms that maybe I am not immune to the allergy that has plagued the rest of my family for years!

Can you really just ‘develop’ hay fever allergy? I just don’t understand how I have never had anything more than a bit of a cold but yet now it seems like I have the itchy eyes and the sneezing fits too!

Maybe that lady in the picture above has taken things a little far to sort out a runny nose, but I can totally relate to why she’d have done it!

Well, I am determined not to use any pills or other medication to try and get over it so I will fight it myself!

Watched the news lately?

After the news of the China earthquake and maybe a murder mystery or two, there just seems to be one story that has been in the headlines for the whole of this year so far. Who will be the next president of the USA?

The first woman president? Or, the first black president? Those are the two characteristics that seem to stand out whenever the pair are mentioned. Does that affect how they will run the country though? Surely not?

I don’t think that people should vote for Clinton just because she is a woman, the same way I don’t think people should vote for Obama just because he is black.. Yet, that is the main thing the news hypes whenever there is a report. Maybe it’s just the stories that make the news over here in the UK, the gossip obsessed public here love to hear about any controversy between people.

How ironic is it that now corporations such as the BBC are moving to let people watch all their programmes online! After all the fuss previously when sites such as peekvid, projectfreetv and ovguide were all offering the same, if not more of this content but were being shut down or had threats to be shut down.

TV shows have been online for years now, even in the ‘old’ days where YouTube was the only source of online content. I remember browsing through watching episodes of The Simpsons in 10 parts on YouTube. What an effort that was, finding the clips and hoping you could actually watch them before YouTube police took them off for copyright infringement!

These days, if anyone asked me to watch something online in any more than 2 parts, I’d laugh! There are endless sites now offering legal (and illegal) crystal clear streams of Television. The best site I ever saw for clear online video was Stage6.com which sadly had to be closed down due to increasing cost for storing all their content.

Where do you watch online TV?
