A breath of fresh air

It's funny that in this techno-heavy existence I still appreciate the simple things.

I went back on Xbox Live the other night as I haven't played anything on it for a while and I've just paid forty quid to use it for the year. Halo 2 is the gamers' staple, and I'd forgotten just how addictive and exhilarating it is-I had a massive surge of adrenaline which left me shaking so much it felt like the core of my being was charged. And now that Halo 3 has been announced in teaser trailer form (C&VG) I begin the long wait for the new version.

What's this got to do with the simple things of life? Nothing, but this is a picture that does:



Spring blossom falls to the floor like a blanket of pink snow. It was prettier in the dusk of the previous evening, but I didn't have my camera on me then.
