Another person I feel sad for

There’s a Blogspot site called Bonfire of the Brands.

Update: this post has been deleted. That sucks. Sorry guys.

Feeling sad for people

Sex Change Hospital on More 4. It’s quite sad that some individuals feel so ill-at-ease with their own bodies, they cannot identify with the gender they were born with, and they end up spending so much money and suffer so much discomfort and pain to try and feel normal.

I wonder if my mother worried about whether I suffered from gender dysphoria when I was younger, I always wanted to be a boy back then (I think I felt that I couldn’t do as much as a girl). I am comfortable in my own skin, though, and have been for a number of years, so the status quo has been preserved.

Notes on the new job and travel

The commute to my new job is slightly longer than my old job. But I get to craft on the bus instead of being stuck behind the steering wheel, in traffic. I’ve been attempting to crochet a pair of armwarmers for the last week, and have had to pull it all out and start over three times (so far). I’m on attempt #4, and am crossing my fingers (it’s pretty hard to crochet with crossed fingers) that it’ll work this time.

Shauna called me yesterday, because I called her and it rang out on Monday. It’s so nice to have an online / offline friend in the same country. I am such a dork.

As for the job, I’m enjoying it so far. It’s only been a few days, and my director isn’t even in town, but she’s given me lots to think about and brainstorm over. The staff in my department all seem really nice (not to say the staff at any of my previously-held positions weren’t nice), and the office is so full of lovely books I’m giddy with delight at being so close to so many wonderful words and stories.

I’m trying to stop snacking every minute of the work day, though. The goal is to cut it down to every other minute of the day, a 50% reduction. It means I don’t need to carry so much food into the office. Today I have cashew nuts, a small pork pie, a nectarine, drinking yoghurt (already gone), and pot noodle. Heh.

Summer tattoo theme

CTRL-F5 or whatever you use on a Mac to see the new banner, it’s based on something I made recently.

Blobs are usually asexual, right?

Freakzoids. The Polish childrens’ rights watchdog wants to investigate the annoying Teletubbies, in case they promote homosexuality. I think they should be more afraid of them promoting gibberish.

The casual-chic chicken

Fridge chicken

I have no idea why I find this fridge illustration so funny.
