Did you hear about the gnome psychic that broke out of prison? They're saying he's a small medium at large.

  2.   allcreatures: Rangers shell-shocked at 93kg green sea turtle’s 2600km ocean odyssey after having flipper amputated The 93kg green sea turtle was taken to Australia Zoo’s Wildlife Hospital after being rescued by Moreton Bay Marine Park staff last December. She had been seriously injured after becoming entangled in a crab pot float line and her left front flipper sustained such damage that it had to be amputated. After six weeks of rehabilitation, Noel was released off Mooloolaba, with experts uncertain of her future. Fitted with a tracking device, the resilient reptile proved she could not only survive but thrive. Since February 3, she has travelled more than 2600km, paddling around Moreton Bay before heading south to Sydney. The head of Australia Zoo’s rescue unit, Brian Coulter, said Noel was leaving many four-flippered friends in her wake. “This is a mindblowing achievement, given she only has three flippers,” Mr Coulter said. “It is very important research because it shows that amputee turtles can survive. Some institutions have euthanased them in the past, thinking they would not make it.” The zoo helps to rescue and repair up to 180 turtles a year. I love turtles :)

    Recently I stepped completely out of character and found a pair of outrageous red high heels. (And by high, I mean 11cm). Not usually my scene, but there was just something about them. And it wasn’t just that they were half price!

    I tried them on. An 11cm heel on an already tall girl - interesting. 

    I’ve decided, though, the verdict is in and I’m going to step out of the comfort zone. I spend my life in boring dull little flats and skulk around trying to pretend I’m not tall. 

    I am tall, damnit, and now I’m even taller ‘cos I’ve decided to wear heels and you can all just deal with it! :)

    Utter fail - I weighed myself at 5:30PM. I know you’re not supposed to do that!

    Also, it’s the second time I’ve weighed myself today alone, so I really need to cut it out and pick a day (or maybe two days) in the week that I weigh in.

    Anyway, as hubby pointed out, I’d just drunk a whole lot of water, etc, and it’s the end of the day, so the fact I’ve “gained” 600g-1kg really doesn’t mean much, if anything.

    Diet success

    Since starting the diet properly, I’ve lost about 6 kilos.

    I have about 3.5 kilos to go.

    Ideally, though, I want to lose about 13 more. I hear you put on about 10 kilos when you’re pregnant…

    Just like that. From a hundred miles an hour to asleep in a nanosecond. I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”

    I’m a million years too late on this, but yes, everything is. How have you been? :) I may be back to tumblr, now, after several months of vanishing…

Amateur photographer and grandfather Giangiorgio Crisponi, 69, snapped the image near his home in Cagliari, Sardinia. He said: “Starlings have a very particular way of defending themselves from their predators like falcons and harriers. They form a large tightly packed flock and mob their enemy, scaring it off, frequently expanding and contracting and changing shape.” Picture: Giangiorgio Crisponi/solentnews.co.uk (via Pictures of the day: 6 December 2010 - Telegraph) Pacman sez NOMZ.
