Nerve-tapping neckband allows for silent "speech". One step closer to telepathy! (courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] heron61).

And LJ removes "Basic Account" option for new users. Which strikes me as particularly dumb. But there ya go. Oh, and brad's reaction.

I don't tend to make lunchtime updates - but I can't resist spreading the word that the last Harry Potter movie will be _two movies_, released in November 2010 and May 2011.

I'm _awful_ at organisation. I have the memory of a mayfly and the attention span of a kitten on acid. Which means that if I'm going to cope with the hectic social whirlwind then I need some kind of system.

In an ideal world I'd have a social secretary who would let me know where I was supposed to be, and when.

I'll be in the middle of task A when someone will ask me to look at task B. I'll get halfway through that and I'll be interrupted by task C. I'll go to lunch, come back, and not have any idea what on earth I was doing. Clearly I was going to have to get myself organised with a to-do list. And as no piece of paper remains unlost on my desk for more than 24 hours, it was going to have to be software.
