Fucking football fans under my fucking window at fucking three in the fuckng morning fucking singing "The Hearts are havin' a partyyyyy," and YOU DON'T SAY, I TOTALLY HAD NOT NOTICED THAT! SHUT UP! *headpillow* And then I overslept, and gaaaaah. My icon has never been more applicable.

[ETA] In case anyone thinks I'm exaggerating:

The Hearts Are Havin' A Party .. What happens when one's local football team wins the Scottish cup: SIEGE!

That's right up the street from me, just a minute's walk or so. And that was Sunday (late) morning; when they did the triumph parade-ette on Saturday, imagine that with people crowding in behind the bus as well. Yeah. [/ETA]

I want this. Badly.

Realisation: I won't be able to do the semi-traditional European Song Festival chat-in this year, as my dad will be here for it. Bah, I say. :(

You can make /much/ smaller ones.

I've been spending a lot of time reading 'maker' sites and things - I'm sure I've seen a guide to building a tesla coil. Want a link if I find it again?

I get all this stuff from 'Make': http://www.makezine.com/blog/

I've noticed a few interesting knitting projects there, too...

I actually haven't done that, just because it gets updated a lot and I don't want to drown my friends page.

It's awesome, though, and makes me want to set up a workbench and get back into electronics - and back into SecondLife.
