Apple has decided to move on from the brushed-metal interface...

(yes, I am an iSlut)

Neil watched the England-NI game at the pub. I knew the result was bad because he texted me (it only said "meh" but I knew what it meant... made him tell me anyway).

He got home and immediately headed for the whisky shelf. I said, "which one are you having?" (Showing interest and all that.) So he holds it under my nose. Me: "It smells like paint thinner. Or maybe it's nail polish remover."

I don't think he was impressed. ;o)

(it was a Highland Park cask strength. The stuff's 62.5% alcohol, I'm not surprised it smells like a dangerous chemical!)

Neil just told me that they've moved up the ship date for Civ 4 - it will now ship before Halloween.

Guess I'll lose my husband earlier than planned!

(OK, he's lost now... which is why I shudder to think of what will happen when he gets a NEW Civ game...)

I just tested myself to see how many US presidents I could name, and how close to the right order I got.

I got 34/42(*). Now I can excuse myself for forgetting Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan but how could I forget that Taft comes between Roosevelt and Wilson, or forget Rutherford B. Hayes? ("Winner" of the disputed election of 1876: it had to be decided by Congress, and a dodgy deal gave it to Hayes over Samuel Tilden.)

Yet I remember Zachary Taylor, who died less than 18 months into his presidency. (Shortest is William Henry Harrison, who caught cold at his inauguration, and died a month later.)

More importantly I have the mp3 of the Animaniacs singing the names of all the presidents!

(* - George W. Bush is the 43rd president. This is because Grover Cleveland was both 22nd and 24th.)

1. Go here.
2. Pass it on.
