According to Chinese authorities, Hao Wu “committed a crime“, but his case is so “secret” no one will say anything more. Uh-huh.
Best friends
Both Hans (R) and Elton (L) will be leaving me soon, unfortunately.
Is that an iPod or are you happy to see me?
The iVag. Hahahahahah. Thanks, Terry!
Blah de blah, lah lah, blah blah
You may or may not have noticed a new archive drop down box over on the right hand side of the index page. I am giving putting ALL MY ARCHIVES online a go. It may take a while, because:
- Damn, am I long winded.
- I am as repetitive as a rabbit on heat.
- Bloody Christ in heaven I’m boring.
Therefore this is of questionable benefit to you, dear reader. But here’s the good part. You get to snoop on the very questionable choices I made with regards to the conduct of my personal life (circa 2001 — the year is ultimately only notable for my purchase of a Dell laptop that I am still using). Wow, it is seriously embarrassing that I was so wilfully blind. But you know, I’ve grown from the experience. Ahem.
Paper’s old
The paper of a map claimed to be copied from a 1418 Chinese original has been carbon dated to being from somewhere between 1640 and 1810. Geoff Wade thinks it’s still full of shite. The world continues to turn, unaware of these arguments over who got where first and how.
Last night, we…
… watched a film called Mirrormask. We bought it on speculation, based on my recommendation that Neil Gaiman was a cool guy. What a visually shit-hot picture! I love movies that are so pretty. Another film that I love for the same reason is What Dreams May Come, I practically died with awe when the oil paintings / heaven interacted (got smooshed) with Robin Williams’ hands and feet.
I love pretty movies.
(Oh, we also watched Elizabethtown, were at The House for a bit on Saturday, and I crafted a bit this weekend.)
Step away from that barstool, sir. Sir! Place your hands where I can see them — no, not around the glass! Sir!
Texan law officers are now arresting people for being drunk WHILE THEY’RE IN A BAR.
Being in a bar does not exempt one from the state laws against public drunkeness, Beck said.
The goal, she said, was to detain drunks before they leave a bar and go do something dangerous like drive a car.
And I thought only Singapore got in the news for doing stupid things. Guess I was wrong.
