When I argue I see shapes

That's a lie. But when I shut my eyes at the moment all I see is boats going past me. On the plus side, now they're rowing well.

When I open my eyes I either see revision or the guilt of non-revision. Probably the most nauseating aspect of blogging is the much-used phrase "hey guys, sorry I haven't updated recently..." as if anyone reads1, but I feel an explanation, if not an apology, may be relevant as anyone who didn't know better might think I'd jumped off a cliff considering how much I write normally.

So anyway, topical observations - oral sex gives you cancer? Little known fact - it also gives you second hand cancer if you're in the same room as someone else doing it.

More to the point, everything that someone somewhere enjoys doing2 will eventually give you cancer. Luckily, I don't think it's going to put anyone off. In the words of some James Bond baddie, 'there's no point in living if you can't feel alive' - although the Christian Right may argue otherwise.

On a less topical point, Scotty has been beamed back to Earth. Of course, we've only got his word for it that he made it to space at all. I'm skeptical.

1. Self-loathing is my forte.
2. Sorry, I mean receiving.

How often are you in the room with someone else giving oral sex?

I think the answer is "way too often".

Admittedly, I've once been in a room where this was going on. It was thoroughly unpleasant. Let's just say it involved New Year's eve and 5 people sleeping in a room. Nothing sexual about the other 3 of us...
