Okay, new rule:

If a song has the name of a day of the week in the title, you should only play it on that day. You should never play it on the day before or day after.

Don't play "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" on Saturday, especially not early Saturday morning when people maybe just not-awake enough to be unsure about which weekend day it is.

Exceptions are allowed, of course, if the song mentions more than one day by name, and "Everybody's Workin' for the Weekend" is appropriate any day of the week.

Oh, and every Monday should include the Boomtown Rats in the playlist, by law.

I seem to be the last person to know this, but Bob Basset, the Russian leatherworker who does those magnificent dragon bags and masks and those equally-impressive cyberpunk/steampunk/forcepunk gasmask-helmet-things, has a LiveJournal feed, so you can see the cool stuff he's cranking out a couple of times a week.

Be advised: Basset also does the occasional BDSM-related gear—he's a leatherworker, after all*—so you might want to filter the feed if you read LJ at work.

For those not familiar with his work:

This is a messenger bag.

It's a little late at this stage, but just to clarify matters:

Despite previous reports to the contrary, both quelonzia and I will be attending Further Confusion this year.

Quel will be there on Saturday; I will be there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with possible cameos on Thursday night and Monday morning.

Caution: Due to circumstances that should be familiar to anyone who reads this journal regularly, my moods will be erratic. I may be cheerful and energetic; I may be quiet and wistful, I may be irritable and flat-out bitey. I may be all of these things in rapid succession.

I intend to be cliquish. There are a lot of good friends that I only ever see at FC, and my main reason for going this year is to see them.

Warning:
When approaching the dragon, do not initiate hugs. If the dragon is huggable, he will initiate.

Do not skritch the dragon.

Oh, and this does seem to be allergies, after all. I am not Patient Zero!

For everyone using the 2009 Ozy & Millie Calendar, and possibly other 2009 calendars from CafePress: no matter what the November page might say,

Today is not November 31st.

Due to various circumstances, quelonzia and I will not be attending Further Confusion 2010.

I've seen this spelling error twice in the last few days, so I just thought I'd give you a quick visual guide:

This is a faun.

This is a fawn.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Attention:

The phrase "Thinking Outside The Box" is now officially Inside The Box.

Thank you.
