Unpopular for a reason

Usually when I don't post here for a few days I've either been having too much fun to be bothered writing about it, or recuperating from the after-effects of said fun. The past week has been different, HOLY CRAP BIG FUCKING SPIDER

Sorry about that. Jesus I hate it when they crawl over lightbulbs.

Anyway, I've been busy with complex and frustrating bureaucratic tasks which inadvertently led me to discover that the South Australian Office of Births, Deaths and Marriages keeps a list of last year's baby names online. Amongst the one-offs are Aragorn and Boromir. Wonder if they're twins? Or if both names were given to the one kid: less misery to share around, but no second name to fall back on, either. In any case, someone's been sentenced to paying out playground danger money until graduation.

These are boys' names, by the way. I was going to look up equally embarrassing girls' names until I remembered there are no females in The Lord of the Rings. Because they're icky.

SA has also been blessed with a little Rowdy, and baby Ja-Rule. That last one will go down well around the Noarlunga Centrelink twenty years from now.
