Why are both LJs that I need to reply on for the discworld_rpg in "write-only-mode" just now, huh? Both Jocasta's and Beth's! Arghh!!

RL journals seem to work fine; I just replied to both Supi and Vee. Slowly, though. LJ's under terrible strain from all the Americans wanting to post about The Debate.

At least people are politically aware this time around.

Now for something entirely different: sweet potatoes are really sweet! I bought some today and baked them in the microwave, the way I do with regular ones; they became soggy inside and dripped a clear, quite sugary syrup. They're like sugar beet, it seems. It would be interesting to experiment on them a bit. The weekend before last, nazgul_nr_5 fed me sweet potatoes with garlic butter, and I really wanted to repeat that experience. That's why.

Ancient Egypt was a nice and juicy political scandal complete with embezzlement and cunning manoeuvering. To be continued next Wednesday. They can be sure of me watching! Hey, I haven't liked anything on the TV for ages as much as that historical documentary.

Everyone knows that you can buy absolutely any content on Classic Radio. You pay them, they tell it to their audience. Nobody much minds. But the entertainment industry has paid them to vociferously denounce copyright pirates as dangerous criminals now. Mind you, I don't download stuff unless it is yousendited to me for special purposes, and then I more often than not end up byuing the original CD. I'm not going to listen to such witch-hunty stuff, so I switched it off. I think I shall listen to the Carla Bruni CD I bought in May because someone yousendited me one song from it...
