Arse. I was all cheerful because I'd managed to put up my really quite excessively complicated Christmas tree, and came on to post a photo, and found bad news about Terry Pratchett all over my flist. Early onset Alzheimer's. Ugh.

Have a photo of my Christmas tree anyway.







Except I leant on the shelf while I was putting the Christmas tree up, so now it looks a bit more precarious than that. And it's one of those "floating shelves", so I have no idea how to fix it. (My Christmas tree is sort of lopsided too. I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't put up shelves myself.)

Also, some of those links I was talking about days ago. The History of LOLCats. Brilliant video. Topographic map of the world's underground transit systems. Very weird and pointless, but strangely compelling. The BNP are imploding, which is nice. Mirriam Webster Dictionary's word of the year is w00t. Hee. And Shiny Shiny have chosen to illustrate their article about it with the quantum LOLCat I've been meaning to post here for ages, so you should all go see that.

Oh, that reminds me, too. The other day's cartoon on XKCD made me laugh, so here it is.



Now I'm off to the Top Gear comms to see if anyone's iconed Richard and the Arse Biscuits. Liberally distributed *hugs*es to all of you who need them, which seems to be many.
