Well, if you didn't know, this is what bird's ears look like. i was looking through some reference images for an art piece when I realized "where are their ears? bird heads are usually just smooth with feathers??" and then stumbled across this. O_o

I thought just the fact that there's holes was bad enough, but flies laying their eggs in the headholes?? I'm gonna need some eyebleach and soothing music... That is disturbing.

I've been considering starting a forum game similar to spamssss and spamadventure, where the players control a character in the year 90. It would function similarly to spamadventure or 20 thousand leagues under the sea. The question is, is there's any demand for yet another spam game? There's already relatively many, and I don't want to start a game that nobody wants to play. What do you guys think, would people be interested?

Nice trailer but a bit odd hearing the '28 Days Later' music playing in it.

On this day in 1963 Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space.

Keep an eye on me. I shimmer on horizons.

Yeah, she was technically given some kind of honorary air force membership because of restrictions on who could fly what kind of craft, but she's usually counted as a civilian anyway because it was only an honorary membership.

The weather forecast announces temperatures between 32 and 36°C (89,6 and 96,8°F) for the next days. Above 25°C (77°F) it begins to be too hot for me. I was about saying "Fortunately, I only have one baby, not two and a big sister next week", but baby C.'s parents live under a roof in Paris...
If you look for me, I'll be trying not to die in the most "fresh" place possible.

Forecast here is for 90ºF sun and we're having a brief dry-enough-to-work-soil period with yet more rain expected tonight; so I have to go out and work in it. (Monday night, thank goodness, it's supposed to cool down to a lovely 58ºF.)

-- don't worry, this happens sometimes and I know what I'm doing: longsleeved loose light colored clothing and sunhat; pour water both over my head and into me frequently; at intervals, or immediately if any sign of dizziness or headache, go into house or shade and eat very salty/vinegary pickles along with more water. Nevertheless I'd be much happier with a high in the 70's.

it was like...20C here, but muggy and cloudy and gross. Can't wait for it to get itself sorted and hang at 25-30, dry, and sunny...
