Destroy Everything You Touch by Ladytron.
It’s a few years old. Some people would call it mainstream. It’s just a dumb, overproduced pop song.
But!
Only the screaming of children in the fleshwall at the Ekka today managed to burn it away.
Give it a go.
P.S. I have wasted my life.

Each year I go to the Ekka in order to harden my immune system. I also try to get some beefcake pictures for Sue’s hens…

Georgian Dandy!
(Packs a scented kerchief.)

1950s Bad Boy!
(Rebel without a cluck.)
HOT!
There were two new breeds of duck in competition this year!

(This one didn’t make it past the first cut.)

(This one nearly made it to the Swiss border before it was recaptured by the Hun.)

Do you think you could look like someone who has been caught in an unrealistic watermelon-eating pose?

Appealing to the gay vampire market?

I was talking to someone the other day and she said, as many people do, that she has trouble remembering to get off the train when it’s her stop. She said that she became so involved with the world of her book that she didn’t notice where she was and often missed her station.
My invention is this: a GPS enabled bookmark that will buzz or light up or whatever when the destination is reached.
Another invention is the hiking stick that is also a camera monopod. If it’s happened already, please let me know!
Update: Yep, the hiking stick/monopod/tripod exists. There are a few different brands and models.

A friend has just seen Oliver Sacks and has been moved to get in touch with her basal ganglia*.
I started wondering if parts of the brain made sounds, which one would sound most like its name?
I have some quiet ideas, but I’d like to hear yours!
* Not to be confused with basil ganglia, which is used in exotic pesto.
