Ephemera
I still want to buy this fantastic thing for the purposes of constructing a game of MYSTERY CHESS. I also want I really want the fishtank from an old dream of mine for on top of it. It was a glass cube split four ways into rooms with plastic furniture so it looked like an apartment... fish hanging out in the kitchen, fish chilling in the living ( Read more... ) -
On instant messaging.
Oh, look. This chat window is not a telephone conversation. That is the BEAUTY of these things. It's a *window*. I like a window on a friend, to glance through it occasionally to check in, but some other people seem to like to press up against the window and howl like a rain-drenched sad cat. I didn't fire up my laptop to speak to just you. Sorry, ( Read more... ) -

Snapshot Serengeti.
Cold where you are today? Thought so. Take an African safari from your laptop to warm yourself up - FOR SCIENCE :D Classify animals caught by camera traps on the Serengeti. If you fail to squeal with joy when you see a big cat or a giraffe, I pronounce you officially a little bit dead inside.

Badass jigsaw tiems
My car is rammed full of pieces of a high-sleeper bed, the kind with a desk and a futon underneath. It was comical enough fitting it all into a VW Polo leaving room for me to sit and drive home... it's going to be a LAFF RIOT getting it out and putting it together, without instructions, in Lexie's room. Oh eBay, and the things that seem like a good ( Read more... ) -
Godless heathens everywhere! On a pretty purple map :)
So I have all sorts of stuff going on in my head, but a lot of it isn't pleasant. Instead of thinking about it or making a futile attempt at sleeping, I'm gonna sit here and derp around with this cute little page from the Office of National Statistics. It is startling how the percentage of people identifying as Christian on the census dropped ( Read more... ) -

Gaslighting. A new word to add to your vocabulary, and something I've been on the receiving end of far too much.
