Yeah...
That said, I am bloody glad the others are coming to dinner. :)
Now it's 1pm, I need to get dressed and take the curlers out of my hair... And I'm trying to do a photo diary thingy today, but so far all I have pictures of are my phone, my head of curlers, the computer and my brekkie. Oh, and Mark. Which isn't bad, but I really should have done more with my morning.
Meh. Bring on the fun times!!! :D
Although I think that was more to do with the fact that we have no heat in the flat at the moment. Eh.
It just struck me as odd as I didn't watch the Sorted video when it came out. Go look at them on YouTube - search for Sorted. They are lush! :D
Anyways, I'm gonna go to bed early as the landlord is coming over at 8:30 tomorrow (yeah, in the morning) and I want to be ready to go to work long before he turns up. Ugh.
BILL C-11: SOPA'S LITTLE BROTHER
For the Canadians among us, meet Bill-C11 (formerly Bill C-32).
Bill-C-11 does a whole lot that SOPA did with a few extra twists you might not find in the Wikipedia write-up:
*Like your PVR? You can’t keep it under C-11.
*Like ripping CDs to your iPod? Say bye-bye.
*Hey, do you want to be able to unlock your $500 smartphone and take it to a provider less dedicated to violating your wallet? That won’t be allowed either.
*Did you get accused of internet piracy but no evidence has been presented and a trial date hasn’t even been set? Under C-11 your ISP will now be forced to terminate your internet access.

ACTA in a Nutshell –
What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.
Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”
What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

At the moment - haberdashery. :D *Kanye shrug*
Do you know how hard this question is?! I love so many of his characters, even when they're being weak/fractured/human. I love all of the Losers Club, Jonesy, Henry, Beaver, Pete and Duddits, Paul Edgecombe, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Roland... And Wendy, from The Shining. Woman was fierce at the end! But yeah...
I love the Beav though. Dude is awesome. And Eddie, cause he is just lush.
And now, many hours after I started this post, I shall actually post it. Yaay!
I'm a Hufflepuff.
Yaay!! :D
