# Kids at play

I just realised ... I have such a soft spot for songs that include samples of kids in playgrounds. It's such a unique, distinctive, cheering sound. (Is this creepy?)

LiveJournal UI's is SO RETARDED! Why is adding to a journal on one tab, and editing old entries on a completely different tab? Why, if I want to edit an entry other than the most recent, do I need to say how many entries back I want to view? (Can't I just page backwards.) And why is it so hard to add friends? I must have done this a <em>lot</em> of times, but I still can never remember how to do it. Is there actually some way of doing it from the person's profile page? It seems like an obvious place for it, but I looked and looked and looked and couldn't find it.

... speaking of retards, I saw this movie last night with a plot of: some guy finds a retard (as in, an actual retard) on the street, turns him into a prostitute, then pimps him out (many many times a day) to pay off his debts. This is an accurate account of the plot ... though the movie is a Chinese comedy. Reminds me of this supposed TV Guide description of "The Wizard of Oz":

<blockquote>
Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets, and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again.
