I've been drawing shadow diagrams all day at work. I really like drawing theoretical shadows. It makes me feel like an inverse Apollo, kinda.

The free newspaper had some insanely horrible stories yesterday. A dog wandered into a house and killed a child while she was holding onto her mum's leg. And the dog owner did just about nothing to stop it. There was this other story about a girl who rang up her mum a few times while she was getting eaten by bears. Then there was a picture of a snake licking a petrified baby bunny on the lips. I think the rabbit lived, though.

One month till my birthday.

I heard there was a famine going on in Africa: not cool. I was going to buy an awesome chair with my birthday money but now I'd better send it to a place that doesn't send me back something to clutter up my house unnecessarily, i.e. a charity.
