This week, I have been mostly feeling: indescribable
Currently in the Jukebox: Velvet Revolver - Get Out The Door

Haven't done one of these for a while, so here goes!

Before anything else, [info - livejournal.com] bathtubgin and [info - livejournal.com] lovelybug are doing a sponsored firewalk to raise money for the Fawcett Society's Equal Pay campaigning. Please give generously!

If you think getting around London is awkward now, it could have been worse. Or better, depending on your point of view. The borough boundaries could have been based on hexagons. Somehow, it never caught on.

Incidentally, I may have to subscribe to that blog. I love maps! Especially weird ones.

I quite like charts too, especially ones like this - Total Eclipse of the Chart. It's a flow chart designed to guide you around Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. I especially like the division of the various bits into 'croon' and 'belt'.

And that's off a blog also specialising in odd charts! *adds*

Speaking of geeky charts, today's XKCD is awesome. Even better, there's a large version that's fully readable. Sweet!

The acrostic is alive and well in California, as this letter of veto from Arnold Schwarzenegger to the California legislature demonstrates. Best bit is the quote from Arnie's spokesperson.

Someone has made an actual Ban Hammer. Classy.

However, I think the opposite of classy may be this. Someone out there has made a set of Robert Pattinson ladies' underwear. Complete with panty liner detail of RPattz's face. Oh. Dear.

At least it's fan-made and not official (or unofficial - they're not for sale at all) merchandise. Which does beg the question - why on earth did no one in HP fandom go there? You're not telling me no HP fen wouldn't have gone after a set of DanRad pants?

New Carmilla movie with proper lesbianism! Oh yes...

Funky new web gadget: Mapumental. Does maps based on how long it'll take you to get somewhere on public transport! No more will you have to struggle getting to that place which looks so close on the map but in reality takes about three buses to get to. Presently in private beta, but I've signed up for an invite, so who knows, maybe I'll get one. UK maps only though, but it'll certainly be useful for me.

Spinal Tap have a new song out! It's, er, interesting. :P But it was free. And it's called Saucy Jack and it's about Jack the Ripper, and I'm going to see them live at the end of the month so thought I'd better get some listening in. It's not bad actually!

New hoax (maybe?) in London: a spate of memorial bench plaques all from the same family, all with sarcastic phrases. Genuine or a monumental pisstake? I'm thinking the latter, but it made me laugh. :)

Doctors send a petition to WHO asking them to condemn homeopathy. About bloody time - there are some forms of complementary medicine that might actually work, and then there's homeopathy. Absolutely useless. Did a test one summer - over the counter antihistamines versus homeopathic pills. The antihistamines had been working well enough for a few weeks. Weather had been sunny and warm with moderate to high pollen counts, so I'd have been sniffling and sneezing quite badly with no meds. Came off the antihistamines and took the homeopathic pills as directed. HORRIFIC SYMPTOMS SO AWFUL I WAS BACK ON THE CLARITYN WITHIN THREE DAYS. Not the week I'd originally hoped to go for. Don't waste your time or money, folks.

And finally, yesterday's XKCD, otherwise known as Twilight's Revenge. Nice. :)
