Scientists recommend siestas. Good scientists! Now recommend everyone send me food.

“A frog species which had a distinct Norfolk accent, but which became extinct in England in the 1990s is being reintroduced.” BBC
Logic and Christianity aren’t two words you hear together often, but this page on logical fallacies is really good. Oddly enough, I found it by googling “killer wombats”.
I haven’t written about the Big Chill yet, I think cos I had such a mixed experience. The festival was great, though the stall was really hard work and Min and I were robbed while we were asleep in our tent. I had randomly moved my purse from my bag so they didn’t get much from me, but she lost 150 pounds. Punchdrunk and the Arts trail were lots of fun, and it was lovely to see people, though I didn’t get to spend as much time with some people as I would have liked, I got to spend time with other people. Overall the festival was much less about the music than I’d expected it to be.

Full Hoff action.

Is there a Wikipedia entry on ‘British drinking styles’?
“He said British drinking involved “standing up, shouting at each other in crowded bars, trying to consume gallons of beer at a time”.
…
Many young people only feel they have had a good night out if they have drunk “far too much”” (BBC)

Very cool, if it works.

Heh.

I may not get to post before I leave for the Big Chill tomorrow… have a wonderful weekend, and good luck to those of you with lots on your mind.

I worry about people sometimes. One question that led to this site: where was Shania Twain rised?

One thing I didn’t realise about Google Moon: zoom allll the way in.
It’s been a pretty crap week at home and at work, but I didn’t realise how much it was affecting me until I was walking home last night. I passed a guy sitting in his car, who looked out at me, then followed me halfway down the street telling me to cheer up.
Otoh, I saw ‘The House of Bernarda Alba‘ at the National last night. The last Lorca play I saw was ‘Blood Wedding’, I hadn’t realise how funny, if darkly funny, he could be. There were some excellent lines – the housekeeper character seemed to be a conduit for his own biting observations – but some clunky modernisms rang falsely.
I’m seeing Henry IV Part 2 tonight.

Idiots.
