My Weekend

Recently I have both developed and noticed a minor idiosyncrasy.

I am a casual winker. (WINKER!) However it has been getting progressively worse. I basically wink every day. It's not a random wink though, it's what I call my "that's right" wink. It's an arrogant little facial flex I use when I'm too lazy or cool to say "that's right". Which happens more often than you think because people often ask me questions like 'Are you coming for coffee?' and 'Is this train going to Belair?'

The problem with this comes from my natural urge to analyse things and process them with my inner dialogue. So very often when I come to a realisation about a puzzle I've been mulling over in my head, I'll wink.

It was when I first noticed this phenomena that I processed what I've just written here. It was on that day I coined the term 'That's Right Wink' after identifying the pattern. Of course, like all other conclusions once I reached this I winked.

Given my propensity to get sidetracked by things I've already thought about, now every time I wink I think back to my realisation about the wink.

So recently I have both developed and noticed a minor idiosyncrasy; I keep winking twice.

It means they're too lazy to say "thanks, you too."

Or maybe they think you're cute :3

God knows if I had an epiphany whilst flirting with a cute girl who was asking me an obvious question I would be winking so hard my eyes would ooze.

I often wink just before Darren Powell delivers the ball. Freaks him right out

Is that before or after your shitty brand of helmet has its strap break the first time you cop a bouncer to the head?

Well, before, most likely. Welcome to the top 15 commenters list Kevin. :)

Promoted Entry: Five Lessons from Speculate 18

Too much for me summarise in a review. Instead, I thought I'd share a single takeaway and challenge from each of the sessions.

Promoted Entry: The Hidden Life of Trees

I love trees. They're tall and stoic, so I relate to them. I feel a sense of serenity and belonging when walking beneath an ancient forest canopy and that is not just because most ancient forest canopies I've walked under have been adjacent to a thriving craft beer industry
