Bored, not awfully tired. Wanna write crap here.

I wish I had lots of money, then I could just buy RoboRally and it's expansions of eBay right now. Gah, I so want that game but it's SO DAMN EXPENSIVE!!!! *screams in frustration*.

New ponies *bouncebouncebounce*. I think I want Rainbow Dash and Sunny Daze first, but I'll look and go grabby and see who I come home with. I will play with them, yes, yes I will. *grinz*

Essays not getting done. World Health Organisation site is crap, too much traffic, all the bits I need are down. Well so much for that as a reference. Words are in head but not getting coherently into word processor. Need a thingy like Bobby does in Tommyknockers. She thinks the story and the typewriter just types it on it's own in a coherent format. That would be soooo useful for me. There seems to be this brick wall between my brain and the outside world. Causes all kinds of communication problems for me, *sigh*. Anyone else get this? It's almost a disability in a way. And awfully frustrating.

I wonder, why do people who have to be so mean and cruel and deceitful to other people? Why can't we just be honest when it matters and be friends. Instead of pretending. Gah, it all sucks.

"But you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated..."

And I still ponder why people believe that taking poison and making themselves sick and making a fool of themselves will make them have a good time. *puzzled*



Feel free to use it as you will. I have others but this was the best I reckon.



Conserving the environment takes huge amounts of manpower and money. Unfortunately because of this we must prioritise what we conserve and let the rest to go to stupid capitalist humans. One method of doing this is by using the focal species concepts, which basically chooses particular species to concentrate on conserving. These species are chosen using various methods. Often more popular "cute and furry" animals are chosen due to their ability to garner public support (and monetary donations). Keystone species are also often a focal species because a keystone species "holds up" it's surviving ecosystem. If a keystone species goes extinct, the entire ecosystem is liable to crumble, so conserving these species is paramount. Species that are extremely common will not be conserved because they are pretty "safe" and massively rare animals are not conserved because they will likely die out anyway and the money could be spent on species with a better prognosis (the triage concept). In an ideal world we would be able to conserve everything and all the humans would just kill themselves and stop fucking up the earth. But in reality, greedy, capitalist humans are here to stay and rape and pillage, so using methods such as the Focal Species is the best that the few of us who do give a shit can do.

I read an article in a paper a few weeks back, they had written "epidemic" when they meant "endemic". Stupid journos

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease caused when the cartilage around a joint wears away, causing the bones to scrape together. (*skreek skreek OW!*) It can be caused by general age and wear and tear, but is also caused by obesity, an ever growing epidemic in the western world. The extra weight causes the joints to become stressed and wear out sooner. It can also be caused by many genetic diseases. Diseases such as Chron's cause calcium absorption to fuck up and cause bones and joints to not develop properly. This can also be accompanied by sacroillitis, bone protusions on the lower back and hips.

Humans are prone to osteoarthritis due to the posture we have evolved. This disease is very common in the knees, the main weight bearing joint of the human body. The angle of our hips in the pelvis also makes us prone to joint disorders. I need to look up more on this, I thought I knew more, maybe I do and my brain has just farted and I've forgotten it.


I think I will brush my teeth, read some of Magician and go to bed. Critique of Magician may or may not come when I finish it. It's a good book tho.

Wow, I've brought out the big guns. My electric blanket is on. It's so freaking cold!! And it's not even winter yet! *shivers*
