Reply here and I'll give you 3 subjects I don't think you know or care much about. Then you talk about those subjects in your journal. It's interesting to see who knows what about what.

Hello, f-list. I am covered - COVERED - in mosquito bites. Particularly unattractive mosquito bites at that. Not that there are any attractive mosquito bites, but these ones in particular developed little sacs of clear liquid that have scabbed over the top of the dark red bite lump. I look so classy, let me tell you. And then I read an article ( Read more... )

I should have written this entry last Tuesday to use this title on Melbourne Cup day. Ah well.

Today I thought it would be fun to do some random reviews throughout the day. I found a website that generated three random times for me, and this is what I was up to at the appointed hour:

Why are television police stations so poorly lit? I am watching Whitechapel, and I am just wishing that someone would turn on a light in their office. It's a safety hazard, the dim light they're working in. Where's OH&S when you need them ( Read more... )
