Woohoo! A 14-year-old kid from South Bend, Indiana won the National Spelling Bee this year. Give it up for the local boy!

The Sydney Cancer Centre is sponsoring Bad Hair Day today. I am participating. Unfortunately it was unintentional.

Resignation. The deed is done. I have handed in my one month’s notice at EPSON. Hmmm… Maybe I should start that job search, huh?

Oh, good grief. Remember Miriam, the transsexual who caused all the controversy in that British reality show last year? Apparently she’s going to be a Big Brother intruder starting on Sunday.

I found a great “Dumbledore’s Army” insignia too. I’m thinking of printing them on iron-on paper, transferring to fabric, and then sewing the fabric…
