Still no new laptop. Old laptop now offi­cially dead, dead, dead. Only read­ing mail and LJ at work so expect delays.

Eeep, the new pope was a member of the Hitler Youth. He’s still a con­ser­vat­ive creep. The world is gonna be very yucky. But the Wiki­pe­dia entry on him is very amus­ing, mostly thanks to the photo (it may not last long, as I’m sure Cath­ol­ics use Wiki­pe­dia too, and someone will edit it to include an accur­ate photo soon).

Yes­ter­day, while wan­der­ing down to Hugo’s café, I saw a banner out­side a house read­ing “FREE WOOD”. For a brief moment, I wondered who Wood was and why I hadn’t heard any­thing else about this guy. then I real­ised I’ve been an act­iv­ist for waaaaay too long. Besides, it isn’t really cold enough for wood fires yet. Not really.

Off to teach now.
