George Orwell’s diaries, posted online 70 years to the day after he wrote them. Could be interesting reading.

So, the judge has decided that Jack Thompson is guilty of being an idiot (That’s technical law-speech), but now instead of the 10-year ban on practising law in Florida she is now recommending a permanent disbarment. On top of that, she’s recommending he pay $43,675 in costs as well.

Excellent.

Apparently our favourite gaming-related “lawyer”, Jack Thompson, has walked out of a hearing, claiming that the judge doesn’t have authority to preside over aforementioned hearing. Associated is a rather verbose letter, in which he seems to perform his usual trick of going off at 7 different tangents at the same time using bizzare language and repeatedly referencing how he, The Mighty Jack Thompson, has saved the world.

This is the same person who seems hell-bent on banning any video game which is more violent than The Adventures Of Fluffy Bunny Rabbit in Cotton Wool Land (not a real game) since it scars the poor children and makes them want to go decapitate police officers using chainsaws and then urinate down their throats.

This is the same person who throws legal threats at anybody within 100 yards who mentions his name, the name of anybody he has sued (which is an extensive list) or the name of anybody he has sent a legal threat to (an even longer list).

This is the same person who goes off his nut about how God has sent him on a mission to clean the world of the violent smut which is degrading today’s society every time that somebody points out that he’s talking bollocks.

You get the idea. Please, hurry up and debar him so we can finally be rid of his endless rambling about how far up his own backside he is.

I went to see a ballet today, an adaption of Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale featuring one of the guys from The Drama Society. I’ve never been much of a fan of ballet due to the need to read the plot before you start, but I really enjoyed this one. It might be because I’m now a student and therefore cultured, or more likely it’s because the music used was… well. Not what you’d expect from a ballet.

System of a Down. Aerosmith. Muse. Rammstein.

Awesome.

Why do some women who I know for a fact are taken still mark themselves as single on Facebook? As far as I can tell it’s a mostly female thing to do… anybody know why?
