The sort of thing that can drive you out of your mind

What Larry Niven story has someone wearing an asymmetrical shirt - possibly a shirt with one sleeve?

Moving wallpaper

Bizarrely, it's only just occurred to me that one of the pleasures of K-pop videos is the lack of T&A wallpaper. To be fair, I've only paddled a little distance into the Hallyu Wave, but as far as I can see the boy band videos are about the boys, and the girl band videos are about the girls, and there's no random, nameless, underclad teenage models wriggling in the background on a beach / on a street / in a nightclub. I don't want to jump to any conclusions about why this might be so (cultural differences? younger and/or more female audiences? not wanting to attract attention away from the idols?), but after being fucked off by a million MTV videos at the gym it's a great relief.

Largely but not entirely unrelated to the last posting

For technical YouTube reasons, I've been watching these guys' music videos in reverse time order. After all the muscles and ninjas and explosions, it was a bot of a shick to come across something from their earlier, more carefree days:

Help, I can't look away!

(It took me quite a while to figure out that TVXQ and DBSK are in fact the same band. Every day, a new and exciting discovery.)

... none of which is getting this *(&%*)^ chapter written.

On the recommendation of pretty much everyone, I've started watching The Big Bang Theory. I thought I'd record the moment of my first belly laugh for posterity. :)
