So, I'm watching TV while I have workmen in the house. If I'm not at work at this time, I'm usually asleep. I have discovered that my TV gets Al Jazeera. It's very interesting. I sort of learned how to make a gas mask out of a 2 liter bottle and an aluminum can.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I love the aquarium pictures! I want to go!
Billytea, aren't there penguins native to Australia? Or am I terribly confused.
Aha! - security cameras may have filmed the Picasso thief - with the piece under his arm!!
Thank you, Cass and billytea, I just bought both those books. (Now let's see how long it takes me to get around to reading them.)
Also, Weedy Dragons! SO cool. Seahorse!
I'm dicking around this morning, because I have to go to an event at the Common in a little bit, but I was just doing errands, and it's so fucking hot and muggy out! I was planning to walk to the thing, but I think I have to take the T, which feels like a total cop-out, but ugh. At least I did a little walking already this morning.
Man, I hate hot and muggy.
It's been hot and muggy here for days but we've finally got a break in the weather.
Billytea, aren't there penguins native to Australia? Or am I terribly confused.
There certainly are, the little penguins. There's a colony on Phillip Island, a couple of hours' drive from where we live, and one of my favourite holiday destinations.
So apparently the Netherlands has a reality show called "Who is the worst driver in the Netherlands?"
(you probably know where I'm going with this)
The show puts nominated drivers through a driving course. One driver apparently got the accelerator and brake mixed up, ran through barriers, mowed down a cameraman and host of the show and hit a staff car hard enough to break the windshield.
At one point, you see him COVERING HIS EYES while the car careens out of control.
Video of the incident is on the blog, no injuries are shown, just bad driving and the driver (and his passengers) screaming.
OMG!
What a bad idea.
Penguin (books) just tweeted the link to the Official Bloodlines facebook page. Is it for a movie or a tv show?
Mmm. Hot and muggy. Of course, I'm wearing a turtle-necked sweater dress today, but still, I love hot and muggy.
