First Blood

200 gold! Oops, wrong context.



FB! IN YOUR FACE LOLOLLLL

Thanks to the very persuasive twc who listed out several great reasons to give, not to mention berating those not interested in doing so as a [sic] "piece of guniang shit", I made a detour to MPSH 4 yesterday. Was bolstered by edchong confirming that there was free Milo when he went on Thursday.

There was no queuing or anything, we just sat around waiting for our turn to register, which was made tricky since the later volunteers could be seated at the front and vice versa. Ended up having to guess when everyone who arrived before me had their turn. Cursory checkup by a doctor, then a screening of blood density by dropping a single drop into some bluish liquid to see whether it sank or floated. Passed.

The actual procedure itself was pretty painless - Extend arm onto a specialised metal armrest, allow the experienced nurse to locate a vein just below the elbow joint (after the rubbing alcohol or whatever), poke, insert. Was handed a stress ball and told to squeeze it every five seconds. Not as freaked out as I might have expected at seeing my own blood flow out for collection - it's for a good cause, after all.

When it was over and I saw the nurse walking away with the bulging packet (nearly half a litre I suppose), I was all "Wow, that's only like ten percent of my blood!" Oh, and I ended up a pound lighter, so for the weight-conscious, you can drop a pound, guaranteed, while doing a good deed at the same time.

Indeed, we are all just humans, at the end; If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you poke us, do we not squeak?


Beware Of Battle Bunny (edited from some signature on the DotA Allstars Forums)

Maybe that's going a bit far, but bunnies are far from defenceless - they beat up snakes (not on a plane though) for fun. Don't see many guard dogs doing that. *Adds to list of personal life goals Item #643: Train squad of elite ninja bunnies*

And I'll need to find a towel to throw in. $1789.65/$2100 about two-thirds of the way through. I can think of some mitigating factors off the top of my head, but I'll save it for the May post-mortem. Good studies have to run their course.

$50 on Chelski (-1.5) vs Charlton (2.00) - Addicks, make my day
$20 on Bolton to beat Watford (at 2.00)
$10 on Blackburn to beat Sheff Utd (at 1.62)
$20 reserved for Man Utd tomorrow.
