I have learned that the Granite State values insanity as its highest political value.

I have learned that it's best to refrain from introspection when depressed. This is not a new lesson...I learn it anew each time I realise I am depressed:P Realising it = first step out of it.

How do you realise you're depressed if you don't introspect? :p

Geography.

I was made aware of this game, and scored a not wholly satisfactory mid to high 90s on each try. So I went off and played those drag and drop state/country.province games (http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/), and now I can do this: (you think that looks a doddle -you try :p)

Damn, that's hard. Part of the problem is that the map is so small on my monitor, but the main problem is that I'm daft.


I got to level 6, with 28,224 points. Africa killed me.
