Miscellany

Hello and welcome to entry 445. It's a quiet little entry, with a bit of stuff about things, some things about stuff, and not one mention of a swallow.

So!

For some reason, I thought this was going to be, or shortly after, post 450. Which would've been mildly embarrassing, because I do, in fact, have some plans for post 450. As you might appreciate, this leaves me with nothing much to post.

So, now, other content. Um... something. News? News, perhaps.

A year on from the hideously misnamed WorkChoices, Federal parliament's restricted rights to compensation for workplace injuries, and probably added a clause requiring injured employees to pay to have their blood and their missing limb removed by professional cleaners. A Sudanese man has been legally required to marry a goat. Pandas in a Thai zoo are watching porn. Multinational pharmaceutical conglomerate GlaxoSmithKline has been defeated by two 14-year old New Zealand schoolgirls. Vista is performing better than expected; rumour has it it's selling well too.

And that about does it for news. And, I suppose, this post. If you know of a meme or something I could be doing, please do tell me.



Also: if some kind benefactor has digitised copies of the Sandman, then I might be open to negotiations of storage for offsite backups. I'm particularly open to storing a backup of Death: The High Cost of Living. *smiles hopefully*

WTF, Ribena. WTF.

And the thought of a dowry for the goat is making my head hurt, in a freaky otf/fandom wank "horse wife" way.

I got to see the whole ponyamory thing go down before wank even caught wind of it :)

WTF indeed.

And, yes, but that guy is legally married to the goat, so nearly as I can tell.
