Daisies and Dranks

So it has been a long time! I really need to get into this habit. Its probably not that hard to put up a little post every other day but somehow in my head I make it seem like so much more of a mission. I think a problem is I don't really know what this blog is about. Initially, it was just so I could keep my better half over in Sydney up to date on the life and times of Micky but I think I'd like it to be a little more than that. What exactly I'm just not sure...

I guess I'll just play it by ear and see what comes out of it. Post things I care about in the moment. Right now, my current obsession is getting to Rocking The Daisies for free. Well sort of. At a big discount. I cannot even put into words what an amazing experience it would be. Basically, Rocking The Daisies is a music festival, as the name would suggest, and they have this initiative going where you can walk to the festival and you get a ticket for free. Not only would my budget be ecstatic at the prospect of saving a little but it would also just be so freaking cool!! Its a two day hike through one of the best parts of the country with plenty of cool people, just soaking up the awesome-ness of everything. There are sadly several seemingly unconquerable obstacles. I have university which is fairly impossible to escape and this walk would mean missing two days. And i'm probably just getting my hopes up way too high because there are only 100 places on this walk. Oh well, doesn't hurt to try right?

And my consolation is that this weekend is Earth Dance and I'm so excited because this is my first time at an event like this. Not entirely sure what to expect other than a fun time. I'll get back to you on that one.

Aaaand then, I found this cool photos on the internet. Amazing what you can stumble across, or should I say stumble upon. Its from the website insanetwist.com. Not sure how referencing on the internet really works - I also zoned out when they explained plagiarism at school - but just let the record show that this images aren't mine in the slightest way. Doesn't mean I can't think they're really pretty though.

These are images of alcoholic drinks under a microscope. Cool right? Not sure why but I suddenly feel like drinking spirits just got so much more classy. The other images are on the website but I thought these ones were worth sharing right here right now.

Vodka & tonic

Tequilaaaaa! 
I think that will be all for today folks. Have a good one. It is now 11 o'clock Cape Town time and is time for me to get down and dirty with my biochemistry. Stay sweet.
