So many "kangaroos beating up tourists" videos on Youtube. The only time you'll ever see a kangaroo up on its toes is when it's about to boot something. That means little girls too.

Of course sometimes they fight amongst themselves when they're not out watching car races or having impure thoughts.

If you absolutely must use an alarm clock radio, one that switches on a radio station, don't set it to go off on the hour (or even half-hour, depending on what station you wake up to), otherwise you'll wake up hearing the news. After hearing for five minutes about how fucked the world is, i somehow lose the motivation to get out of bed with a great deal of energy.

I either set it five minutes ahead of the hour, or five minutes afterwards if i'm feeling lazy.

Caught up with _gilligan_ yesterday at fallimar and cyrin_phin's house. Gilly got into Dooj and that was well odd. (She failed her Dooj licence however when she found herself unable to get up from the floor; sitting down with the Doojtail was also not happening.) We mainly flopsed on the couch watching movies (the tamer version of Robocop and Welcome to the Jungle) and eating cake and laxin.

fallimar got all pnincy about me being pnincy about not eating meat so i had a pizza with chicken on it. I still don't miss meat that much.

This morning i woke up with post-Dooj ache, mild dehydration and a hankering to make paneer. It's pretty much to milk what tofu is to soy milk — split the milk using an acid of some sort (i used lemons, vinegar also works), strain the curd through muslin, press the resulting curd together and drain off the liquid, and there you have it! Even for a relative kitchen maladept like me, easy as piss.

Also, i'm not sure why i found boiling milk so soothing and lovely but it was, so there.

craskwolf's around at 2 o'clock to listen to music. Oh here he is. Go read his LJ to see what happened next, how good the curry i made with the paneer was, how hung over jm_horse was, and why Dooj doesn't make people nervous forever.

who is %AGE% years old! Happy %AGE%%AGE::ordinal% birthday, Zarns. :)

This is a New York installation by Banksy, Village Pet Store And Charcoal Grill. He's branched out from stencils to animatronics, and done so beautifully. More images here.

...is still tanking hard after interest rates were put up. It's down to 0.66 USD/0.38 UKP/0.48 EUR today and will probably slip further down towards 50c before the day is through.

If anyone fancies a holiday to Australia, now's a good time to cash in on our shitty exchange rate while we're all thoroughly annoyed by our reduced ability to afford things on eBay and Amazon.

I'm going out to the Swan Valley for my birthday with my mum and my grandma, so if i'm a bit late to zarneth's pizzafest it's because i've insisted on a stop at the chocolate factory.

Give it a try.

ARSE.

Calling all Australian Sporeheads!

EB Games in Australia has copies of Spore in stock for sale right this moment. Go buy one (or pick up your pre-order, whichever).

I have my copy of Spore: Galactic Edition and very nice the box is too. :)
