Yay! I love lesbian weddings!

16:57 / 12.06.07

Congrats 7's! Yay for interweb love!

I too I'm an interweb spouse. Pretty damn kickass. Though I'm certain Flickr is higher on the food chain then myspace I'm not sure where LJ and craiglist fall? Perhaps Myspace is at the bottom of it for cheese purposes...

An amazing thread from an otherwise worthless forum.

XK, Wonderella changed my life. And encouraged me to think that Haus should next call himself Bröken Haus German Lager.

Lots of people posted songs for my question about stalker songs. I am bizarrely overjoyed about this! Barbelith is such a goldmine of better music geeks than I'll ever be.

And I just wrote a conference abstract in under an hour, which I think is quite good and has the best, most concise abstract title I've ever written: "White Teeth, White Neovaginas." Hee.

08:09 / 15.06.07

An actual call I took at work (some of the description fudged, apart from the punchline):

Me, recapping: "So, he's a white male, local accent, five foot ten, slight build, dark hair… what style is his hair?"

Caller, hesitant: "Well, er. I don't know… I can't really describe it."

Me, wanting to move on quickly to get something distinctive:"That's OK, we'll move on. What was he wearing?"

Caller, more confident now: "He was wearing a blue striped polo shirt, jeans… oh, wait, his hair. Do you know Adolf Hitler?"

Me, game for anything: "I'm aware of him, yes. Do you mean the suspect has the same hairstyle?"

Caller, triumphant: "No, not the same style. His hair is exactly the same length as Adolf Hitler's."

08:38 / 15.06.07

hahahahah!

I have a BIG old happy on right now becasue we got a seriously kick-ass review in The Word this month!!! Yeah!!!

The badger cull will not resume (scroll down for the news item).

Scientists rule out return to badger culls

Proposals for a widespread cull of badgers to limit the spread of bovine tuberculosis have been ruled out by the government's Independent Scientific Group, which argues that culling cannot make any meaningful contribution.

is all good.

This bit is unsurprising:

The National Farmers' Union, however, is expected to challenge the decision.

Let's hope they fail.

Manager is on leave so I have the office to myself, get to rule the library with a rod of iron for a week and am getting to the point where I feel as though (whisper) I may have a handle on doing this job. Go me!

I know it's mean to snipe at other comics boards, but I found a thread about the upcoming Spiderman 'One More Day' storyline and came across a priceless entry from 'Spiderben' about two-thirds down, he expresses his fear that this storyline will negate the Peter/Mary-Jane marriage, he doesn't want to happen, he doesn't believe the marriage is a bad thing, Quesada is an SOB, and if it happens he'll...

If this happens, all my reviews of Spider-Books will automatically drop one to two letter grades. I'm serious, dead serious.

Wooh, that's the way to stick it to the man, that'll get Marvel where it hurts, in the reviews on one website on teh intarwebs! "I'm going to keep giving you money but I want you to know I give it more grudgingly than I did before!"

Oh, and then he goes off on to some less pleasant ranting about Quesada's marriage that is neither here nor there.

21:48 / 18.06.07

Oh, be fair. He's probably not much more than 12 years old.

Trojan condom ad

While not as classic as the french animated ones this one is nice to see.
It's still very heteronormative but at least it is out there.

Some of the networks are refusing to air the ad:

Representatives for both Fox and CBS confirmed that they had refused
the ads, but declined to comment further.

In a written response to Trojan, though, Fox said that it had
rejected the spot because, “Contraceptive advertising must stress
health-related uses rather than the prevention of pregnancy.”

In its rejection, CBS wrote, “while we understand and appreciate the
humor of this creative, we do not find it appropriate for our network
even with late-night-only restrictions.”

“It’s so hypocritical for any network in this culture to go all
puritanical on the subject of condom use when their programming is so
salacious,” said Mark Crispin Miller, a media critic who teaches at
New York University. “I mean, let’s get real here. Fox and CBS and
all of them are in the business of nonstop soft porn, but God forbid
we should use a condom in the pursuit of sexual pleasure.”

An ad I wrote for work is in Billboard, which is kinda cool to see.

Happy Dave Has Left

15:59 / 19.06.07

Just found out that we've got a flat which we've been hoping and crossing fingers for for two weeks. It's a beautiful one-bed apartment in a very unusual building in London, which was built to accomodate single young women coming down to work in the munitions factories in WW1. It's got an enormous communal back garden (with a fire pit! and allotments!), a big square full of benches and swings which is full of all the neighbours having a cuppa and a ciggy in the evening, and a very active committee that organises things like a community LAN and forum (including broadband access), massive parties and picnics and gardening days. It's just something you don't find very often in a big city like London, and it's going to be awesome for me and my wife, especially for her as she's just moved here from the US, and only really knows my mates, so she'll have lots of friendly interaction with all sorts of folks (it's full of actors and artists and ladies of leisure and all sorts). Can't wait!

17:09 / 19.06.07

Fucking hell, Dave. That sounds great for you and the new missus.

James Marsters (Spike!) will be appearing in season 2 of Torchwood with a guest role.

I believe that the appropriate term to use on occasions such as this is: "Squee!"

18:05 / 19.06.07

There is an application on Facebook that allows one to describe their gender properly. Like, with various options.

It is pure rock
