The phrase "I for one welcome our insect overlords" is overused distressingly often, yet seems strangely appropriate given this news:

Well, this proved to be an unexpected development....

Just back this very minute from the midnight screening of JJ's Star Trek.

Damned fine movie. Damned fine. Leonard Nimoy remains as ass-kicking as ever.

Time to sleep now.

RIP Porthos VII.

I'm fairly sure that this has made my week in an NSFW kinda way:

The thought of the mosquito death ray makes me happy:

And the thought of nanananananananaSpacebat! also bears a moment's consideration:

Jonathan Coulton has released a new song. I approve of this development.

I, for one, am glad that there is now cheerful music about a suicidal vampire in this world of ours.

It's ever so shiny when people vote correctly.

Y'know, I'm noticing some thunderous applause lately....

There's a certain odd genius here....

My Further Adventures

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:52:38 GMT

Yesterday, I was responsible for the purchase of a boobinjar, and Australian television instructed me on how to get strippers sent to my cellphone.

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 11:54:20 GMT

Australian television just assured me that the country is dealing with a horde of feral camels.

Dear Diary,

Today I watched an eight year old Jewish girl tell 200 Aro Valley stoners to support the Holocaust, then the house we were at tried to pee on SSar.

It was the best day ever.

Now, that's religion!

Guess whose head is engraved on the National Cathedral in Washington DC?

No, this is not a hoax.

Also, the newspaper computed for me today that if you were born on 9/9/99, today you turn 9.

Did I turn into John Cusack and nobody decided to tell me?

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:35:45 GMT

Well, here I am again in Sydney.

Here I am again at the Quay West.

And, just like last time, they've put me in room 1408. I remain fairly unhaunted, but I can't help but get the feeling the hotel's management is trying to tell me something.

Oh, Norway, how gleeful you make me....

Sci Fi elections were held tonight.

Once again, morbane gets the job she seeks in a landslide. She's my Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord.

Tonight we discussed how the Fat Controller was a secret drug lord, supplying Thomas with sniffing glue in exchange for steam jobs.

You heard me.
