Rock The Vote
Today's the last day to register to vote in the most interesting election since at least 1997.

Bunch of savages in this town
Hum. Have just finished changing my rear wheel on my new bike as some careless or malicious idiot had scattered nails on the road on the way to dancer_man's house. Thought I'd gotten away with it until I came out of his house and the tyre was flat as a pancake ( Read more... ) -
Weekend
So, we weren't at Maelstrom this weekend, for the very good reason that we've barely been home for a month, and certainly haven't both been home at the weekend for approximately ¾ of a yonk, so doing the whole Maelstrom thing, fun though it is would probably have been bordering on suicidal. However, Maelstrom is on again, for the last event of the ( Read more... )
