(Other names blurred in case my (our!) neighbours are less than delighted at having their names plastered all over the internet.) Now, if only those #%?&?&#% people would actually deliver the bed when they said they would this time… (It was supposed to arrive last week, but didn’t).

I’ve been doing a lot of clearing out lately (throwing stuff away, yay, long overdue…), and keep coming across odd things I dind’t even remember that I had. Like my old swatch. I’ve just gone on a search on the net and found out the design is called Radar. It is hideous, but I think I might have rather liked it back in the dark ages (no, I didn’t chose the design myself, I got it for my birthday one year – at a guess 1986…)
Now, if someone is willing to pay 46.22 Euros for it in mint condition, boxed, how much would it make on eBay in worn condition, I wonder? Not anywhere near as much, but it has got to be worth a try, surely?

You’re a Cappuccino!
What Kind of Coffee are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
(Cappucinno? WTF?) And I don’t even drink cappuccinos. I think I’ve had ten or so of them altogether in my life, and considering I drink 4-10 cups of coffee a day, that’s not a lot. I normally drink variations on “black”, current favourite of the fancy variety being Café de Stiil’s “Bessie Smith” (double espresso topped up with black coffee…).
But the description is nice, and fits me to a tee, obviously ;)

A good thing bears to be repeated:
12 Reasons Same-Sex Marriages Will “Ruin” Society:
1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.
2. Heterosexual marriages are valid becasue they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can’t legally get married because the world needs more children.
3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are property, blacks can’t marry whites, and divorce is illegal.
6. Gay marriage should be decided by people not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.
7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire counrty. That’s why we have only one religion in America.
8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
10. Children can never suceed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven’t adapted to cars or longer lifespans.
12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a “seperate but equal” institution is always constitutional. Seperate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as seperate marriages for gays and lesbians will.
Uhm, yeah.
Voice in my head: Frank Sinatra – Fly Me to the Moon
Walking back to his place Sunday evening we passed a guy standing outside a doorway smoking a sigarette. A perfectly normal sight these days, but this guy had an empty mug in his hand which somehow didn’t quite seem to belong there – it didn’t look like he habitually brought his coffee outside when going for a fag. There was something just too “devil-may-care” about his stance to make it all seem entirely natural. Trying too hard. Just as we were passing, a window on the corner opened and a packet of sigarettes was hurled out onto the street.
Everyday drama.
1. Name two types of food that you could care less if you ever ate again.
Mackerel. Mint sauce.
2. Name one animal.
Mink.
3. List three words to describe yourself.
Muddled. Mad. Marvellous ;)
4. Name two things you might find at a zoo.
Monkeys. Macaws.
5. Name three things you might find living in the water.
Molluscs. Mackerels. Mermaids.
Yes, I know. I will make it go away again by tomorrow. I’m just feeling ever so slightly fluffy pink with hearts on at the moment.
Mmmmmmmmm.
Edited: This is what this page looked like when I wrote the above:
In “honour” of Friday the 13th, I assume:
1. Are you superstitious?
Not particularly, no.
2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
I used to know someone who wouldn’t leave the house on Friday the 13th. I can’t quite see the logic, actually, aren’t we continually told that the majority of accidents happen in the home?
3. Believer or not, what’s your favorite superstition?
That if the weather’s nice on your birthday, it means you’ve been good. Mostly because the weather’s almost always nice on my birthday…
4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
Not really.
5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
Not really, again. Then again, I’m a pretty typical Aries (and I’ve obviously read enough about it to know that I’m a pretty typical Aries), but I also know plenty of exceptions to the “rules” so I mostly assume that it’s coincidence (or self-fulfilling prophecy).
