1. A new blog - Famished For Meaning - and it is / will surely be wondrous! Go and eat and drink your fill!
And, as a quiet aside, what is it with the UAE and being silly? Saudia Arabia - yes they’re mad, but the UAE - that’s meant to be a proper country.
2. Easyjetsetter, a disturbingly intelligent young woman has re-designed her site. She also links to the Guardian - to a quiz about one’s empathy quotient (EQ) and systematising quotient (SQ.). I scored 6. Six! on the EQ and 63 on the SQ. I appear to have Aspberger’s syndrome.
[EDIT and she points out in the comments that I can’t spell Aspergers correctly either]
3. I received (and here’s a shock) spam e-mail today. It started with the phrase “Do you achieve orgasm after penetration?” Well, yes I do actually. Okay, there might be some uncomfortable exertion involved too, time will pass, but in general that’s how I’ve found it often ends up working out. I’m not alone here am I? Who, exactly, are you targetting your mails “forr Rx medds” to? It was aimed at men, if it was for women I believe they might have found a more, erm, responsive group.
4. Coffee Sage has sent me a meme entitled 5 things I miss from my childhood. And well, I don’t feel so memey today, and 5 things I miss from my childhood could take forever. Or at least quite a while. I’ll procrastinate about it later.
5. Walking Wounded has a look at the evolution of bondage.
6. It was Rock am Ring this weekend. I almost got there. That girl did.
German Word For Today: “Sechs” – Six
Song playing as this was published: Azure Ray “Rise”
DISTURBING? It’s spelled aspergers. But Americans voice the p to a b, so I see where you’d be confused.
On the EQ i got 17……we must both be uncaring bast**ds!…..and 49 on the SQ. Incidently my nephew has Aspbergers syndrome…….wonder if its heriditary.
I got 60 on the EQ and 21 on the SQ. Guess that makes me a woman. What a relief.
Haddock: I’ll merely point you to the wired article about the “Geek Syndrome” - There’s a big cluster in Cambridge too, apparently
damn, i scored 35 on the EQ and 11 on the SQ!!
Christina, Sarah: So you’re female then. At least according to the guardian.
I’m back! It was great! Would have been much greater with you though: couple alarm came up after all! Love or friendship couples doesn’t matter, annoying anyway.
that girl: At least (I’m happy to say) Andreas got into deep trouble -he caught the ICE up the next day and Still didn’t get to interview Feeder like he was meant to…..
Rock Am Ring sounds fun, but one of my students told me that tickets were 135 Euros!
*laughs* Well, well, well, he had no luck whatsoever, I guess…Serves him good, he should have brought you! TS!!!
J, the tickets were 105,- EUR incl. camping and I think, that is a fairly good price considering there were almost 100 bands playing. We payed extra for private camping though but that way we had clean showers and toilets. “Luxus Bitch” lol*
