PASSED EXAMS! But have no booze to celebrate. And er… no money in hand since I spent it all on new books yesterday. I should have a “Party Fund” for celebrating such events. Oh and I got my AC Fixed. And my net is relatively stable and not fluctuating like it has for the past …

Not the Ducks! – Royal College of Charlatans

Hallelujah
Just shut up and listen… Waking up to this on the radio made so many neurons fire in so many correct ways. Never mind who or what she is or politics, just listen. It’s good. It’s really good.

Comments Policy
So writing about the shooting of a teenager and farmers in Palestine lead me to my first slightly out of control comment barrage… So… I need some advice on a comments policy. I had this in mind. Green/Yellow/Red (Traffic Lights – Whee!) Safe/Normal/Unmoderated So a topic on green would literally be “these are places for …
