9:59 am	LOST game LOST is a student project. The aim of LOST is to show how 7 million people connect to one another, and break the record for the game with the most players ever! LOST enables you to interact with people across the world, and see how you are linked to them. Joining the game To play LOST you have to find an invitation. An invitation is an internet address that looks like this: www.lost.eu/example, but instead of the word 'example' there are some random numbers or letters. There are invitations on the internet, and in the real world. They could be anywhere - on web pages, inside book covers, written in chalk on a pavement or across a beach in the sand. Playing the game Once you join the game, you will be given a username and password, so that you can log in to your profile. Your profile will show a timer, counting down to zero. If the timer reaches zero, you will lose the game. You can reset your timer by inviting someone to the game yourself. Winning the game For every person you invite to the game, you gain one point. For every person they invite, you gain ½ point. The person with the most number of points wins the prize when the game ends. Prizes will also be given to the nine runners up. This will happen when the game reaches 7 million players. The prize The top prize is £500, but the game should be played for fun! The prizes for the top ten aren't decided yet. Your Invite is HERE. Game on! Current Mood: Mildly Amused (Comment on this)

10:36 pm	Kittens are cute I would like to know who on LiveJournal really believes kittens are cute and shouldn't be stomped on. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe kittens are cute and shouldn't be stomped on, then repost this and title the post as "Kittens are Cute". If you don't repost it, then just ignore this and we'll all know that you are an EVIL KITTEN STOMPER. Thanks. Yours, ringbark, who thinks that people who assume she's a bigot because he chooses not to let them dictate the contents of her journal ought to be stomped on.

11:15 am	The Rape of Mr. Smith The law discriminates against rape victims in a manner that would not be tolerated by victims of any other crime. In the following situation, a lawyer asks questions of a hold-up survivor. "Mr. Smith, you were held up at gunpoint on the corner of First and Main?" "Yes." "Did you struggle with the robber?" "No." "Why not?" "He was armed." "Then you made a conscious decision to comply with his demands rather than resist?" "Yes." "Did you scream? Cry out?" "No, I was afraid." "I see. Have you ever been held up before?" "No." "Have you ever given money away?" "Yes, of course." "And you did so willingly?" "What are you getting at?" "Well, let's put it like this, Mr. Smith. You've given away money in the past. In fact, you have quite a reputation for giving your money to charity. How can we be sure that you weren't trying to have your money taken from you by force?" "Listen, if I wanted -" "Never mind. What time did this hold-up take place, Mr. Smith?" "About 11:00 p.m." "You were out on the streets at 11:00 p.m.? Doing what?" "Just walking." "Just walking? You know that it's dangerous being out on the street that late at night. Weren't you aware that you could have been held up?" "I hadn't thought about it." "What were you wearing at the time, Mr. Smith?" "Let's see... a suit. Yes, a suit." "An expensive suit?" "Well - yes. I'm a successful lawyer, you know." "In other words, Mr. Smith, you were walking around the streets late at night in a suit that practically advertised the fact that you might be a good target for some easy money, isn't that so? I mean, if we didn't know better, Mr. Smith, we might even think that you were asking for this to happen, mightn't we?"   From "The Legal Bias Against Rape Victims (The Rape of Mr. Smith)" by Siobhan Morrissey.

2:47 pm	Outage outrage I seem to be blessed with the most singular bad luck. For the great outrage of 2005, I was unaware that it was happening, as I was in a faraway place with a strange-sounding name that had no internet connectivity whatsoever as the satellite on which the whole nation depended had decided to wander. To this day, Intelsat have no idea what happened to it. For the great outrage of 2006, everything was fine when I went to bed and everything was fine when I got up, except for all the notices about outrages both at LJ and JF. And I slept right through it, even though I retired late and rose early. Current Mood: unlucky (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:48 am	Good morning The first entry in a journal is often seen to have a significance far greater than it deserves. This one is simply a placeholder to say that I propose to write at some length about "The Flipside of Dominick Hide" (1980) and "Another Flip for Dominick" (1982), early BBC drama featuring a minor subplot of interest to those here. Normal service will continue to be offered at my LJ, http://ringbark.livejournal.com/ (Comment on this)
