front-page headline and front-page photo in today's hufvudstadsbladet (helsinki swedish paper):

the princess who likes the internet.

it's about princess alexandra, a hong kong woman recently divorced from the prince of denmark, but most of the article is about the official start of hans christian andersen festivities in finland yesterday.  there are only two or three sentences about the internet.

excellent wank today.

calluna defines the word "canon" in fanficrants because she's tired of its misuse. 

herongale takes issue with any attempted definition of ANY word (but especially this one). and she sees a sinister ulterior motive behind any such attempt.

the lack of logic is incredible.

WAX:  god dammit, why does this plant keep moving in the pot?
WAX:  wait a minute, are these teeth marks?
CIM:    wax, the animals like to chew on plants.
WAX:  why this plant?  OMG! it's been uprooted!
WAX:  wait... why didn't it have more than 0.5 cm of roots to start with?

on the subjects of questions and memes

i don't do asking memes because i can't really comprehend the state of not being open for questions.  if something ticked me off i obviously wouldn't answer it, but i can't come up with anything that would offend.  i'm also a "no such thing as tmi" kind of person, except with respect to certain people i hardly want to know anything at all about, and then it's more the person than the trivia.  perhaps these things are related.  i've thought about this a lot, because every time there's a wave of those "ask anything" or "ask anything, v. my fic" or "ask anything, v. userpics" memes going around i have to stop countless times and wonder. 

i'm ocd like that.

in other news, partway through page fifty.  i don't know if i can go to bed tonight before it's finished.
