limerick

I keep meaning to post a spontaneous limerick I wrote a few months back, in case I forget it.  The first line was written by someone else, who commented that it sounded like the first line of a limerick.

I once had a penpal from Leeds
Who sent me a packet of seeds.
I put them in pots,
And watered them lots,
But all that came up were some weeds.

adult free time?

Finally, all the kids are at school and I more or less have my life back.  The concept of "Mike Wazowski you've got your life back Lane" from Monsters Inc. is starting to make more sense.

Strangely, I've been wanting to spend less time online, which may be a good thing.

I notice that www.linkable.org has stopped working again - who knows why.

joined-up blogging

Multiply claims that I can now cross-post to twitter and facebook.  Let's see if that's true - that'll make things easier...

While we were watching Toy Story as a family recently, it came to my attention that my husband finds Sid's toy "Legs" somewhat erotic (see picture). Is this a guy thing? Or a dev thing? Or is he just a big pervert? Answers on a postcard please...

experimental first post

Googling the following phrase seems to turn up nothing, so I'll be the first to say it.

"There is no such thing as society, only Facebook."

Somehow I've forgotten to post anything for ages! I think the time I spend on the net is proportional to my boredom, and somehow I haven't been very bored. I reported a fake Facebook profile yesterday, but let's see if they do anything (they haven't yet).

And this is a test to check that Krystina is watching (are you?)

I just joined a Facebook group about children's BBC presenter Cerrie Burnell, who was born with a partial arm and is getting bizarre complaints from viewers. I don't think she's such an amazing presenter, but she shouldn't have to deal with this. What people should be complaining about is the crazy spelling of her name, which is pronounced "Kerry"!

In a related story, I told my kids that "daddy thinks that girls with no arms are pretty". They seemed to think that was reasonable. What I really need is a children's book in which this is a significant plot element, but that's probably going to be wishful thinking for a while :)
