I have no idea how I feel hungover without drinking a drop, either.
I felt far too hungover on Saturday for the amount of alcohol I remember consuming on Friday too. But I've worked out what it was now. It was actually that my smiling muscles were fatigued. Not the gross, forced-smile muscles of the mouth, but all the little ones caused by the genuine and spontaneous smiles you get in good company. I knew it must be that because the ones that came across my face for most of Saturday, as I remembered each and every one of you that I met, hurt in the same way that your muscles do the day after hard training. I'm surprised they were so out of shape, mental note for the New Year - get out more.

I personally felt very comforted by the idea and possible presence of lurkers. They're still part of the community, probably the biggest part.
I have several times had people I know socially come up to me and say "Hey, I've seen you posting on Public Address..." And I'm hardly a particularly prolific commentator. Lurkers are usually pretty engaged with the community.

Indeed, it wasn't like I noticed a big silent majority or anything. If there were lurkers, they were having fun.

I'm sure they were, Ben, but it was anonymous fun. Not on.

The hardest part of it was keeping a straight face while she was abusing me.
That was fraking hilarious -- though it's been weird watching "Jacqui Brown" the lunatic Z-list micro-celebrity after meeting the real thing, who is none of the above. We crossed paths at the Downlow Concept just before the series started, and when I came up with the usual "big fan... hope it all goes off for you because you really deserve it" she blushed a little. Which was odd, but rather endearing.

Hey I enjoyed it. Taglessly.

Now that NYT had picked up on the Tiger Woods-gate video by Apple Daily. Here is more of this news-in-motion - you don't even have to know Cantonese to comprehend the story.
And for those who thinks NZ Herald is crap, Apple Daily takes the cake (sample headlines)
