Has anybody tried a UBra? I was transfixed by an ad for them on YouTube, and found my way to their site. It looks... oddly appealing/like boobrabbits/possibly worth doing...? I could enperkify my matronly bosom!

It is my habit to include a YouTube rec of a barbershop nature when I send out my chorus newsletter every week. There's some amazing stuff out there. But as there is a lot of amazing stuff of a not-barbershop nature as well, I also occasionally include something else.

Hamsters. Just... watch.

I am certain one of them is called Frank. Y/Y?

Occasionally I look through Latest Things on DW, and find odd little gems I'd never have discovered otherwise.

Like the awesome, awesome vid here, which is Sherlock/House, and incredibly good.

Or there's Worth Fighting For by Yuu Shirota and featuring Howie D. Surely somebody should have told me about this before? Perhaps somebody did, and I took no notice.

In other news, woe, I seem to have lost my Nsync CDs. I brought them upstairs, I'm sure, in order to put them on my iTunes, and I didn't actually get round to doing that, and now I cannot find them. I particularly wanted I thought she knew, too. What have I done?
