Quite often, I will listen to the same song on repeat for several hours. Is this strange? Mrs. Elbeno thinks I'm certifiable. Maybe I am, but I don't think for my musical habits. In case you are wondering, songs which I have employed thusly include: Toxic – Britney Spears Lonely…
World of Warcraft
It works under Linux. Rock in a box with chips.
Universal Studios
Mrs. Elbeno and I took a trip up to Universal City today. Had a free lunch (company summer picnic), and since we had been before it was nice to just wander about and take a look around the City Walk rather than try to see everything in the park. Since…

I have found
The most obscurely English page on the entire Internet. Molesworth meets Mornington Crescent. Coo ur gosh.
