I think this haunted feeling is the sort of unsettling absence one experiences when chronic pain vanishes. Only in this case it is a person who has relocated and not a toothache. Interesting.

I think that the jeans I'm wearing, had for £2 at a closing-down sale, were designed for men with abnormally large genitalia. There's so much spare material that bunches up around the crotch; it's enough to make a man feel inadequate.

You know ECHELON, the alleged UK/USA program to listen in to all our phonecalls etc? If such a thing did exist *stops to adjust tinfoil hat* could it be spammed? Could you get as many people as possible to use probable keywords as often as possible in order to swamp any possible watchers?

There is a distinct possiblity of me stripping naked tonight, somewhere in the vicinity of others largely unknown to me.

Random thought- you know how when you come across a new word it crops up a few times*? I read 'Copacetic' for the first time ever yesterday, then again this morning in another book so I looked it up- it's American slang apparently which explains why I'd never heard it, meaning ship-shape or excellent.

*Some people say it happens because you notice it and you didn't before, but that's bollocks, I notice whenever I see a word I don't know. Then it crops up again, usually twice more.

I just used a "calories burned walking" calculator at About.com, and apparently since I walked to work this morning I burned 364 calories and can have a meal of, and I quote, "2 tablespoons of mustard, 1 cup of Cheerios and 1 oz. of lard."

Elvis - TEH KNIG OF POOP - was born on this day 72 years ago. When I was about 7-8 y.o. I and my brother and two friends of ours started an Elvis fanclub. To date the only such club I've been a member of. Let's hear it for .... EEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

I'm fairly certain there are snack possibilities; Deep-fried mustard cheerios may be The New Snack Sensation! for all I know.

Yay, I kept my clothes on. Yet the year is so long and the godly fluid dubbed beer so overwhelmingly present. They may see my hairy bottom yet.

Why do they call it a killing spree? Or shooting spree? It makes me envision someone exuberantly skipping through a meadow of flowers with a bandolier, carrying a Kalashnikov in each hand, firing off indiscriminate rounds with a crazy grin.

It's like the word "quiz". I keep seeing stuff in the papers about so-and-so "in paedo quiz" and I keep thinking "what the fuck sort of questions are they and WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WIN???"

Undeclared isn't as good as Freaks & Geeks, but it is better than most of the crap that is out there. All hail Judd Apatow.

Just because you can describe the moral high ground, doesn't mean you are on it.

Incidentally, reading Mordant Carnival and EmberLeo has been by far the best thing on Barbelith for a while now (their dialogue on the Hel thread on the Templo is just...well, just!). Only the Fool's Little People compares.

I swear to quite a few gods I am not sucking up.

Walking to work for 45 minutes when it's -32C and listening to the hot Mexican rap of the "Amores Perros" soundtrack while your visible flesh turns white and crunchy creates a kind of internal/external dissonance that might make your head explode.

Plus I can't move my face.

the word "fuck" actually originates from the 16th century, and originally meant "to strike" or "penetrate".

Allegedly, it can, and this has been the basis of at least one highly publicized sabotage attempt, co-ordinated by the excellent Mark Thomas.

My random thought was: if the universe is some kind of hyper-aware super-organism, then, weirdly, there has to be some kind of purpose in the organism to people like Jade Goody, and whoever thought it would be a good idea to remake The Wicker Man.

That's a head-bender.

There´s been quite a buzz lately about this remake. It´s supposedly top notch at being unintentionally funny. There´ve been clips galore of Nic Cage running around in a bear costume, raving, hunting or being hunted by bees, stealing bikes, it sounds hilarious enough to at least be worth a rental.

"It was nominated for five 2006 Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Nicolas Cage), Worst Screenplay, Worst Remake or Rip-off and Worst Screen Couple (Nicolas Cage and His Bear Suit)."

Here´s a short clip of several scenes from the movie.
