It was a good first step, but not one that should have lasted twenty years.
ETA: In other news, new headway on AIDS research. Made possible by some gamers, of all people.

It's still a bit messed up. You have to be celibate for a year before you can donate, but it's a hell of a lot better than where we've been.

I hope they know what they're doing

In other news,
not_thatbill has lost his dog. It's a big black scruffy male that answers to Junior (pictures on Bill's journal). If anyone in the Regents Park area has seen the dog, please let him know.
In other, other news, I am not on Tumblr. I don't know who has the Jumperfucker name over there, and I'm sure they're a lovely person, but they are not me.

To the point that it's full of bacteria that are brand new to science.

Jun. 28th, 2011 04:36 amNo link this time, but I just saw this on the telly in the waiting room and thought it was worth sharing.
Some very awesome people in Afghanistan are teaching locals how to play rugby and trying to get a league going. Apparently they recently tried the same thing with cricket and it did well, so there are high hopes for this programme.
I wish this had been going on when I was over there. I'd have totally found a way to have got involved.
Still. How awesome is that? I wish them all the luck in the universe and hope to see an Afghan team in a few years.
ETA: Now with a link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13932046
(Careful, it autoplays)

Slightly graphic video, but worth it. So very worth it.

Small update
Jun. 1st, 2011 07:34 amDay off today, so my plans include a whole lot of nothing. I might have a quiet evening in with Jude Law's moustache and a curry, unless someone can think of something better to do.
In proper news, my sister in law got a Deviant Art account yesterday. Go check it out. She's really good.

Unexpected
May. 31st, 2011 07:28 amI came home yesterday to find
cons_detective asleep on my sofa.
I woke up this morning to find him unexpectedly gone. He took his stuff, so I'm guessing he didn't just nip outside for a fag.
S, where'd you go?
ETA: Someone from #221bBaker sent this to me: http://zephyrdragon.tumblr.com/post/6008959800/i-shouldnt-be-this-excited-if-you-have-no-idea
Oh, Tumblr. ♥
I love you all

BBC Holmes Adaptation
May. 30th, 2011 07:04 am1. Premier date has been announced. June 11th! YAY!
2. It's going to be six episodes long, split into two parts, with the second half starting sometime in November. WTF BBC? Why are you doing this? First Doctor Who and now the Holmes adaptation. What's the point!?
3. I've just learned that one of the League of Gentlemen is a writer. ...Not sure if want. Then again, he writes for Doctor Who on occasion, so maybe it's a good thing. I can't tell. Now all I can think is that Mrs Hudson is going to be in blackface and call everyone Dave.
4. The more I hear about this, the more I can't wait, regardless of the points that make me nervous. I don't necessarily trust Moffat, but I trust his abilities, if that makes sense.
Speaking of Doctor Who,
cons_detective came over yesterday and we got him caught up on the current series. When he gets going on a project, he'll lose entire days, so he tends to miss a lot of stuff. He never seems to know the day or date. That's why his artwork is so amazing though. He'll spend hours on it without realising how long he's spent.
He was doing some drawing last night on his laptop and did a wonderful portrait of Matt Smith. Or the Doctor. They're sort of the same person, really. But go take a look at it. One of these days, I'm going to commission him for something. I just have to decide what. It'll have to wait until later though, because right now, he's taking up my entire sofa and drooling on it. Which he will deny as soon as he reads this post.
Potential spoilers in comments, as always.
... Hello, Dave.
