A maladjusted marshmallow, sticky and insecure, and his friend the extroverted envelope. Together they have adventures that put ordinary confectionery-stationery teams to shame. In the first episode we meet their mentor, Crazy Finger for a Nose Man. He helps our marshmallowian friend to overcome his fear of underemployed badgers, whilst our besmirched and bestamped postal accessory makes wry, thoughtful comments on the state of village life in Northumbria. The episode is nicely tied up with a slap up dinner of turf at the local fleamongers.

***** 5 stars.

EDIT: This post used to be a copy paste of a story I started, but, well, I've already rewritten a lot of it. Here's a link to the Google docs of this story:

I don't know that it's much good but it's the first non-technical thing I've written in forever. Good to write again anyway. Oh, and hi if anyone reads this.

NSA-style indiscriminate surveillance is useless for catching terrorists

This quote is a little hackneyed I know, but oh so very true:

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Benjamin Franklin

Once upon a time there was a duck named Harold. One day, as Harold was swimming around a particularly mucky pond, a great and terrible light flashed on the horizon. The next day all of Harold's feathers fell out and he died.

The End.

I just got an email from ooh_daisy, "Your mutual friend ooh_daisy has noticed that you last updated your journal on LiveJournal 49 weeks ago!". Oops, that's nearly a year :| Looks like a lot of stuff has changed since I was last here, what's this ScrapBook thing about then? Aside from my real-life friends the only person from here I've talked to in forever is Tara (nogoodusernames) because she's often on MSN when I sign in.

I wonder if this is going to be an isolated post or if I'll get back into the habit of posting again? I used to really enjoy LJ, I don't know what changed.

Anyway, hi everyone :)

Man, you know when you hear a joke that is so bad, you just have to repeat it?

Q: Why are pirates called pirates?
A: They just ARRRRRRRRRRRR!

I can't believe I didn't find this sooner.

Wow. Stress, stress, stress. Still, everything is almost sorted now.

Got the apartment rented, so I can stop paying rent on it after this week, thank God for that. Living in two places at once was getting expensive.

We had to replace a broken window. When we measured the glass, we either read the tape measure wrong, or wrote the measurement down wrong. Bastard thing. Got a piece of glass which is 100mm too short, and therefore is completely useless to us.

Oh yeah. This is (I think) the first time I have ever used that "Music" box. It was on a whim and I probably won't bother to do it again, so make the most of it this time. Sit in your happy place and try to imagine me typing this while that song plays. If you know the song that is.

Otherwise imagine Mahnamahna instead. That will do. I hear that those of you from the US of A currently have an irritating advertisement on TV featuring that song. Ha!

I am going to stop typing now, this post is too banal.

Current Music: The Clash -- Career Opportunies

Ha!

Bet you all thought I had disappeared again.

Well, no, just been really busy moving house and stuff. The new house is huge. I haven't got any pictures at the moment, because my little bro has my digital camera. He needs it to take the photos for his visa application, he wants to become an American.

What else.

I am currently working on a game. Can't say too much at this point.

Joy to the world, etc.
