trixtah- My hairdresser is a dude, seriously. He even thinks PJ Harvey is the sexiest woman in rock, and the second sexiest woman evah (after his wife)
- I had a real mission finding a lightbulb that I could use to replace the blown one in my lounge. Have they actually gone and banned incandescents without my noticing? My lounge light has a bayonet fitting with a fairly tight plastic sleeve. I spent $24 on energy-efficient bulbs (three different kinds!), but the base of those was too thick to fit into the sleeve part (it would get most of the way down, but not enough to screw it into the bayonet fitting). Luckily, I tracked down some halogen bulbs that look just like incandescents, but which are apparently 30% more energy-efficient. More importantly, they fit. And, hey, if I actually had dimmers, the bulb would work in those too!
- I found a horribly addictive geography Flash game. You have to try and click as close as possible to the location of more or less obscure cities on a world map. It's a little bit repetitive after a few goes, but not too much, and I am determined to get to level 10. At present, I've gotten to level 7, and 10000 or so points. It turns out I know nothing about the former USSR (other than where St Petersburg and Moscow are) or 90% of Africa, while central Europe, and South and Central America is decidedly hazy. At least I know where Reunion Island is. And Bucaramanga in Colombia.
