Check it out. Isn't that awesome? Not in a "yay, the dinosaurs are dead" kind of way, but in that spooky old-timey parallel kind of way? Dinosaurs were likely wiped out because of a process which we humans are deliberately feeding, 65 millions years on.

While reading up a bit more on the extinction, I came across this chart (which I'm shamelessly going to hotlink 'cause I think Wikipedia can handle my immense traffic):



Basically what it's showing is that over time, the general trend is for mass extinctions to be less and less severe because of increasing biodiversity. evolution. If this isn't a proof of evolution, I don't know what it is. Proof God is chilling out in his old age?

Wicked, this post gives me a chance to whip out my much-neglected 'science' tag.

It has been suggested to me that going to bed the second I get home from work, somewhere between 12am and 1am, isn't the best thing - evidenced by the length of time it takes me to get to sleep, despite my tiredness. So I think I'll post here each night, good enough a reason as any. Staying up and winding down in front of yet another LCD screen probably isn't ideal, but it's better than nothing. I'm too tired to read a magazine - probably because it isn't backlit!

I was thinking the other day, and hoping it would last, that despite everything that's gone down in the recent while, I'm probably the happiest I have ever been in my adult life, right now. Happy as in content, you know? Well, all my burning angst is under control anyway. Life isn't the easiest it's been, I'm not the richest I've been, I'm not exactly in the nicest house I've ever lived in, I haven't exactly got a band that's going anywhere (more on that at a later date, okay), but not much of it bothers me too much at the moment. I think it's because it has finally dawned on me over the last few months that Tariqa and I really are going to be together, forever. And for someone who can still hardly believe he's no longer meant to be a confused, afraid-of-never-getting-a-girl teenager, that's a huge weight off my shoulders!

Oh, and I don't hate my job, and it's not a job just anyone could do either, which pleases the grammar-nazi in me. Seriously, you should see some of the comments that come through onto the website. Holy shite.

Ryan Adams has started posting again... goodbye friends page... but it's awesome that he's been posting loads of Werewolph videos. Why is it that the best extreme death metal is made by an eccentric country singer? (I recommend not clicking on that link if there are children or grannies in the vicinity)
