T-Mobile whored out my personal information.
I am pretty damn sure I was one of the people whose data was sold, because I've been bothered by phone spammers asking me to change my mobile network. Even if by some fluke I wasn't betrayed by them, I'm still irritated enough with their service in general not to stick around with them. Old phone number should survive for the next 30 days, but that rather depends on me remembering to keep my old phone charged. New phone number to follow. |

Mann traoch, Gott Lauch
So, for the last year some seriously crazy shit has been going down. Let us never speak of it again, unless we have a particularly funny joke to make about it. ;) But now that the dust has settled I seem to be living in Shepherd's Bush instead of Oxford. David Byrne warned me that shit like this would happen: The Oxford Tube stop is very nearby, so I will still be able to get to anything cool that's happening in Oxford; really, the only difference is that I won't be commuting every day so I'll be less exhausted. (Yes, this does mean I still intend to run a Rogue Trader campaign, elcampo and others need not panic on that score.) Oh, and I'll save a heap of money on train fares, that's got to be a good thing. I'm coming up to Oxford next weekend to sort out the old flat and will probably try to arrange meeting up with people then. (Mobile number is same as always. Landline number will be provided in a locked post to friends only. (If you think you ought to be my friend but aren't on my list, comment below and make your case.) |

Caught from childofatlantis
The BBC allegedly believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up? [bold those books you've read in their entirety, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish] ( The List ) |

The Republicans are messing with forces they don't understand.
They need help coming up with new ideas, after the electorate rejected all their old ones. So they turned to the Internet. The top results are kooky enough (thanks to the Ron Paul crowd), but through a glitch you can still see posts which have been pulled from the main lists, such as this extremely popular proposal to give every American novelty testicles that can hang from the exhaust pipe of their pickup truck. This has the proposals live as they come in, before they're moderated, and that's awesome. The discussion about Truck Nutz is RAGING. |

Public Service Announcement.
If you get evil enough in Jade Empire you can make your character kick puppies to death for health powerups. That is all. |

Mwa ha ha!
Mwa ha ha ha! Context: Free Republic is where the hardcore Republican base hangs out online. And by "hardcore" I mean they occasionally say things like "the Founders restricted the franchise to rich white men for very good reasons". Their flailing after the 2006 midterms included someone comparing George Bush and Dick Cheney to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda; this looks to be just as much fun. Oh look, they're clinging to the hope that the Electoral College delegates will come to their senses and not appoint Obama. This is going to entertain me for weeks. Other highlights of the day: - McCain being really gracious in his concession speech, flashing "shut the fuck up" looks at his supporters when they start booing Obama. - Palin looking like she's on the verge of exploding (a bit like those bombs which she will now never ever ever be allowed to mess with, thank God). - Obama's first decision as President-Elect: getting a puppy for his kids. |
