SADDAM Hussein’s key aide Tariq Aziz is set to live like a king in Britain – at one of Prince Charles’ mansions.

Security chiefs want to give the brute a royal hideaway in return for spilling the beans on the whereabouts of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, The Sun can reveal.

WITH trendy new specs, a groovy beret, and moustache replaced by a goatee, this is how Tariq Aziz might look with a new UK identity.

As plain old Terry, complete with peace corp badges, he may fool some.

But others would Azizily Tel.

After a couple of days of exhaustive coding (but I’m getting to love PHP/mySQL) here’s a new toy for y’all to play with:

Yes, it’s time to rank the worlds princes, presidents and potentates as we play World Leaders: HOT or NOT?

New bloodwork results today: T-cells are up, viral load is undetectable, I’m smiling. Details in the lab.

…Queensland University Professor John McKenzie, currently in Hong Kong investigating the spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), said there was a possibility AIDS sufferers could become super-spreaders of the virus because their bodies could not fight it…

(Sydney Morning Herald, today)

I thought we had expunged the term “AIDS sufferer” from the language. What next, innocent victims?

In response to overwhelming public demand (well, one email) qWords, my huge list of queer names has returned! Now database driven, fully searchable, with definitions (most of which I have yet to write) and other neat features.

It’s still a bit rough around the edges but it’s fairly functional.

Comments and feedback appreciated.

I don’t know whether to be flattered or furious, but some spotty English boy called Drew James Robinson has built himself a little House of Love at www.the-house-of-love.org.

Unfortunately it’s a bit hard to feel the love for Drew as he seems to have stolen virtually every word on his site from me, down to representing my ex-boyfriends as his own (Drew, you can have the exes, I just want my words back).

The sad thing is that (unless this guy really is a total clone of me) there’s nothing about him on the site at all — it’s all me. I suppose I should take this as a compliment but mostly I just feel sorry for the silly bugger. That and violated, ripped off and, yeah, furious.

Go visit his site quick before he wises up and pulls it down. And let him know what you think: drew@the-house-of-love.org.

UPDATE 2003-04-24, 17:42: I sent Drew a short, sweet, and darkly threatening letter yesterday — he seems to have taken the hint as his site is no more.

Paul and I decided about a week prior to going camping that we should go - especially since I now had a drivers licence and we would be able to see if the guys would love it as much as we do. We had no idea…

There’s a moment in every holiday when you realise you’ve let go. For me it usually comes with sleep – I find myself falling into a deep sleep, usually in the middle of the day, inexplicably exhausted. When I wake, I feel a great deal lighter, unburdened by the troubles I’ve left behind at home and ready to enjoy the break.

This happened last Saturday. We woke, we walked, we ate, and … crash! I slept for three hours, and woke with a smile on my face that lasted the rest of the weekend.

Our campsite at dusk (notice the full moon)

We’re back from the Barrington adventure. Weather was pretty changeable (ie wet) but we had a beautiful, peaceful, loving and energising weekend in the bush. The boys had a great time, and the whole experience has whetted our appetite for more.

Right now we’re all pretty exhausted. I’ll write a proper journal entry in the Lash tomorrow.
