Things I read and people I see

Journals

• Mildew - it doesn't come off in the shower apparently. It's really good indeed. Her archives go back to at least the sub-cretaceous era. Haven't got anywhere near reading them all yet. In the words of my old housemate Gerry (I miss her), "It's all good."

  "I can't even imagine how embarassing it would be to (1) be getting a rectal exam in the first place and (b) have other people in the room with you, even if they are on the other side of the curtain and then, (third) hear them start cracking up during your already embarassing rectal exam. God. I would die.
  
  So Layla and I were trying to spare this poor, extremely sick woman death by embarassment. Aren't we sweet?"

• Denise - My friend Denise keeps a fantastic livejournal. She redesigns it every 5 minutes, always coming up with something new and exciting and her content is just as refreshing as her designs.

• - Wil Wheaton Dot Net. One of only 3 or so celebrity sites maintained by the person it's about. Surprisingly enough, Wil Wheaton in this case. It's good fun, and it's not all about Star Trek.

• - A college lecturer who most definitely doesn't fit the stereotype, if there is one. If there was then kismet would make sure she didn't fit it. If I could do one random thing for her then I would send her all my green jelly babies. I'm keeping the red ones though.

• ..speaking of which, I don't think you're ready for this jelly. Witty Pop Sensibilities written by ratboy, our resident 3wa voyeur Well Endowed (jumped a level!). Due to his immense height, ratboy usually has bits of ceiling tile stuck in his hair (ooh, I'm going to get it for that one).

  "pressing play after years of endless rewind."

• Erika - My ex-girlfriend Erika's livejournal. She writes some very good stuff.

Other Stuff

• - the ultimate way to spend an hour or three. Once you start reading, you can't stop. Sara and Stee have some magic spell going on or something.
  Three way action is well over a year old. Long may she live!

• The World's First Jet Powered Beer Cooler - this is amazing. What is a man to do when his can of Guinness is at an undrinkable 14 celcius? Exploit the laws of physics of course!

  "Obviously it would not do to evaporate vast quantities of a flammable gas into the closed confines of my garage. That would probably be dangerous."

• beeni.co.uk - a site run by a cool friend of mine. Contains pictures of me looking terrible that I'd forgotten were taken. She's just revamped it and it looks fabulous. Never pass up the opportunity to see how dodgy I can look in photographs.
  

• Warehouse23 - the things they don't want you to have (I've yet to find the Nissan Almera though).

  "You open one of the boxes on this floor to find.....
  
  A large wooden dog kennel, fitted with miniature furniture, appliances and books. The appliances have strange handles, apparently suited to a dog's mouth and paws."
  
  "You open one of the boxes on this floor to find.....
  
  A hot-tub control box. In addition to the normal timer, temperature, and flow controls, there are buttons marked 'chop', 'blend', and 'puree'."

• The Onion - Check out America's finest news source. Are Coca Cola really going to release a 30 litre coke bottle? Has Clinton injected himself with a revolutionary super drug? Has General Motors included 'instant win' airbags in all new models to promote safety? Find out here.

• drew.corrupt.net - Kate showed me this just today. If you want Lego porn then this is the place to go. It's really quite good actually. The camerawork I mean. Really. Honest.
