Nothing says happy new year more than dandelions.
I used to have a pretty neat garden at home before it grew into the state of neglect that it is in now. So pitchfork in hand, I resolved to clear away half a garden’s worth of tall grass before nightfall.
That was before I realized those were wild dandelions.

Old Kim kicked the bucket?
(From Wikipedia) “It was reported on North Korean state television on December 19, 2011 that Kim Jong-il had died in Pyongyang. The tearful presenter announced that he had died two days earlier of “physical and mental over-work”.

insomnia
i spent most of last night reading pride and prejudice instead of sleeping.
