There’s something very zen about watering your garden at 11:30pm when you’re high as a kite.
A conversation between two foxes:
– You ate your own cubs?
– You know, you get peckish, nothin’ in the fridge
– You had Muller rice!
– Yeah, but no spoon.
[later]
– Look what I just found, a spoon! It was just a waste of life after all!
Eat your Jesus biscuit! Eat it right up!

Wheeeeeeee
I just posted this from my new shinyness! I finally caved and bought an HTC Desire and my life will never be the same again :)
I hate summer
Summer sucks. There should be a law abolishing summer. Give me fall/winter all year round. That way, I can still BBQ but without the f’n annoyances of bugs and allergies.
I hate summer.
The stuff I’m doing
Not in my happy place
I am very anxious at the moment. We’ve just had the boiler replaced, and we had to do unexpected repairs to the car in the past couple of months (two tires and a catalytic converter). Now it would seem that the car’s AC has packed it in. I don’t know how much that’s going to cost, but I do know we don’t have that money.
Beastie is pushing all of my buttons by being a tired git these days. The only time I seem to be happy to have him around is when he’s sleeping. Otherwise, I’m very quite happy to be at work and away from the tantrums. This will get worse before it gets better.

Just one-third?
1/3? really? I was expecting more…
Pornography makes up 37 per cent of the total number of Web pages online, according to a new study published by Optenet. According to the report, which looked at a representative sample of around four million extracted URLs, adult content on the Internet increased by 17 per cent in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009.
Give credit where it’s due
If there is one thing the British have perfected, it is the art of baking biscuits that dunk well in tea. I give you the pinnacle of biscuit-dunking engineering, the chocolate-covered digestive.
Some truly random shit in there!
Since I started my livejournal blog in 2004, I’ve stored all of my random blog pictures in a single folder. Over the years, I’ve amassed a truly amazing amount of random shit. Going back on it myself, I don’t remember the context of half of those pictures. Still, some are worth a chuckle. Be warned though, a few are NSFW: http://flubu.com/images/LJ/index.php

Why must you always weirdify my happy place?
