So That's What This Hunger Games Thing Is

Okay, they're "young adult" novels, but that doesn't actually require the writing to be eye-gougingly awful. I'll stick with Terry Pratchett or Garth Nix, thanks all the same.

Apropos Of Very Little

Does anyone remember the year - probably in the late nineties, maybe 2000 or so - when suddenly every woman in the world took to wearing orange and black and it looked like the planet had been invaded by giant anthropoid bees?

There is actually a reason I ask.  Well, two reasons, one being that I can't remember.

Andrew Breitbart

He was fearlessly honest and outspoken, and will be missed.

On The Plus Side

The water levels in Sydney's dam system are at their highest since 1998.

On the minus side:
Residents of four towns have been evacuated as floodwaters covering an area the size of France sweep across NSW.
We don't do things by halves.

Oh yes: Warragamba Dam, Sydney's main reservoir (about two trillion litres), is expected to overflow tonight, into the already swollen Nepean River.  Sydney is still on water restrictions.
