Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

tommyrot, I think I need it too, please. Profile addy should be good. Thank you!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, insent....

Oh, and it's accurate to the minute Spring starts.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Both Andi and I have tried installing it and get bupkis. Does it not work on Tiger or PowerPC Macs?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Aims, it's great to hear that Emeline has a diagnosis. I know that for me, the diagnosis (of a similar 'neurological issue') was massively liberating, in terms of learning coping skills etc, even though I didn't get it until I was an adult. I hope she responds well to the treatment. Wishing your family much calm and happiness.

I've been up half an hour and I'm already bored. Clearly I need a new project. The Girl wants to go somewhere and do something, but she's planning everything from brunch to getting the train to Brussels. Clearly she needs a new project, too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've been hitting the gym twice a week for the last five months or so - the incentive is to ensure I can keep up with the little man as he becomes more mobile. It's been going well, and I decided that I was ready to take up squash again. My brother and I played half an hour today - he won, of course. It's been four years since I played, and over a decade since I played with any regularity (he plays pretty often against a friend of his). I also now have blisters on both feet and feel pretty knackered.

The first two games I got hammered as I got the rhythm back. Unexpectedly, I won the third game and felt pretty competitive for the last three too. Epic win!

Anyway, that's not the big news. Brendan also took the opportunity to let me know he's decided what to get me for my 40th birthday. (I turned 40 five months ago.) My pressie is going to be: tickets to the 2011 Australian Open Grand Final.

Epic brother win.

Our wings are not tired.

billytea, you have not only an adorable son, but also a great brother.

I find myself extremely nostalgic for the farm markets and orchards. Want summer now!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I bought a black top off the internet. It was delivered in a plastic bag inside another plastic bag. I opened the outer bag, checked that it was what I ordered, and put it in my bedroom. Two days later, I opened the inner plastic bag and ...

the thing has cat hair on it.

How do they DO that?

It seems to me that you should know the answer: They do it with Zen.
