It may well rival the Clobberella costume I made for a heroes and villains party a couple of years back!

This has happened, over the years, to: - Friends - Buffy - The music of Weird Al Yankovic - Scrubs To name just a few. It can't be healthy.

But I did just read The Golden Bough. And when I was at uni, did write and direct a whole play at the Edinburgh Fringe about comparative mythology. So I think I get to keep the mythology nerd credentials, even though I now miss the odd UC question... To be fair, I’m less encyclopedic than I used to be. But I did just read The Golden Bough.

I know every pixel of my 'puter inside and out, and how to change every button, window border, fade effect and keybinding. I do it endlessly at home on my Linux box, and even at work on my locked-down WinXP computer, I customise absolutely ANYTHING I can, to the extreme annoyance of my IT department... But I justify it by insisting that I am "enhancing my ambient productivity" :) I have a slight obsession with desktop customisation…Even have a blog devoted to it (sadly).
