• sclerotic_rings gives you The Strange And Terrible Worlds Of Edgar Harris (359KB PDF), a sampler from his one day forthcoming book Greasing The Pan. See also the previous flyer (280KB PDF). I want the next sampler to include Fanfic Writers of the Future.

• Cheers to ruthi for regender.com. Run your own writing through it before sending. My journal just gave me the image of real female-on-female sex resembling a couple of mange-stricken bears fighting each other over a discarded box of KFC. The bit where it changed "Liz" to "Lionel" was particularly frightening.

• Severed Heads at work (courtesy hirez), full collection here. Now, that's industrial.

• Girls! Want more money? Get a girlfriend.

• Americans! Could you please work harder to kill your stupider compatriots? (Presumably she works for LJ abuse.) Thanks. (courtesy tviokh)

My purpose in life is to corrupt youth. eyeliner297 is seriously considering a Photography A-level. What an old Ixus v2 can do! Abi visited for dinner Thursday night and I didn't spill dinner in the process of making it. We proceeded to photo geek. I may have a Mini-Me. It's such a pity she'll be off at Christian camp for next B-Movie.

Friday I went for an interview involving a high-quality severe technical grilling. I got home to discover employment! (From a previous interview.) Gosh! Pizza and beer to celebrate!

Today has been a quiet day in bed, with redcountess being very unwell and me being cranky. I did move her old 60GB disk from her dead FreeBSD box to the G4. Reformat HFS+, rename "Bucket," filling with TV as we speak.

Tomorrow is Abi's birthday picnic. If the weather forecast is accurate, this will be spent in a pub out of the rain. Tch.

Neo gets a dollie too.

I have vivid memories of that Severed Heads segment from when it aired (1986?) and haven't seen it since. Thank you very much for the link! Awesome stuff.

Interesting fact... I apparently don't use gender specific terms very much and refer instead to names and groups.

"A breast is a breast — it's a sexual thing. He didn't need to see that."

Using that reasonsing, the cunting bitch better be wearing gloves 24/7/365.

"Girls! Want more money? Get a girlfriend."
That's where I'm going wrong.

Actually I can't complain; my stipend is massive compared to non-EPSRC students.

Abi, you should meet Trish sometime and spend a few hours staring at each others' chests.

Looks like you found us out :)

Well, as you asked so nicely...

Girls! Want more money? Get a girlfriend.

I thought it was interesting that they viewed the results for men as being opposite/a contrast, when that's only true when we look at it as "same sex" versus "opposite sex" relationships. In fact, for both men and women, this study showed having a girlfriend meant a higher salary than having a boyfriend...

[reddragdiva]

:-O Well spotted!
