Blood candy

As a thank you for attending the Blood Donor Award Ceremony for the Red Cross this morning, we were given giant lollypops the colour of blood. I got type O!

How does it taste? Sugar-flavoured! Well, raspberry-ish. Vampires must have quite the sweet tooth.

e monkey pour coffee on mah boots

So, uh, I got a lift on someone's motorcycle today, but the right passenger footrest popped away and I ended up resting my foot on the exhaust pipe without realising it. So my boot melted! (I thought I was just getting a foot cramp until I tried lifting my foot to find it stuck. Good thing I had really thick soles - it melted through about an inch and a half of plastic!

Here is the melted boot and my un-melted boot for comparison. I'm disappointed because I only got them in May this year for my trip to Sydney for the FullCodePress competition, and it's really hard to find well-fitting knee-high boots. On the other hand, I think it's hillarious. In the end, it's just a material possession :P
