Happy birthday, caulkhead!

Techno-dreaming

How long does it take for new gadgets to become part of one's dreaming world?

Had a dream the other night in which I was either reading something on the tablet, or reading it as if it were on a tablet*.

Last night I had a dream in which, due to transport problems, partner and I had got separated and I had ended up on a bus which I was not sure was even going to the right bit of destination.

Anyway, at some point I had got off and was walking around looking for the restaurant where we were supposed to be going, in sort-of the City (of London, for anyone for whom this is not the assumed subtext) -

And I was trying to locate myself via the map on my smartphone.

*I don't think I've yet done my love-song to my new tablet - about the only nark I have is that the virtual keyboard doesn't appear to have angle brackets, chiz.

Terribly poor stuff is terribly poor

How often is that one's response to the problems advanced to PSC or Private Lives in Guardian G2 of a Monday, sigh.

My boyfriend of three years has.... admitted he doesn't find vaginas particularly attractive, joking that mine is especially repulsive.... He jokes that bodily fluids are disgusting and always washes after sex. I feel self-conscious and unattractive and worry that we'll never enjoy the explorative sex life I've had with previous partners.

O, PSC, why is it you never say 'dump the guy already' but talk about ways to save a relationship which sounds dooooooooomed?

I am also less than prepossessed here:

I am a woman and my male partner of 13 years likes to dress in my underwear.... Now his dressing up has escalated to him wanting to go out with my underwear on. I have reassured him about this, however my support has angered him and he says I am making him feel like freak.

WTF? Don't go near the comments, which begin by assuming that she's somehow in the wrong in this scenario.
