I'm sat here in helpless.woods.adverbs, which is fairly appropriate, so maybe I should go in the other room: helped.bookmark.sparkles may have a positive effect on my mood.

Unfortunately that block is two houses, I'm only in the left half so bags.overused.corporate isn't accessible to me. I could get in on roadblock.sleepy.buzzards if I stood on the front lawn tho. revolting.pairings.formed there too, which is historically true.

nothing.else.matters just outside Lynchburg, VAinner.city.life (thank you ILM 1994 poll thread) is in Phoenix, AZhard.knock.life is in the Simpson Desert in Australia
the Australia/China ones are weird, it says "no map data available" until you zoom out to more than the width of the world, then the pin appears more than once and you can zoom in on the non-centred one but not the centred one. unless that's just me

So I looked up some bedrooms I lived in when I was younger (no cheating tho, tried to pinpoint the actual rooms), the most apt I found was dormant.ratty.graced, another one had vital.chuckling.inches which I'm sure is a reference to my penis, not sure if a compliment or an insult. I've lived in too many places tho, I'll check some more some other time. Is no one using these for display names yet?

Ok, the house I shared with The Swedish Lady in Stoney has, in a row, prance.gradually.elbow, twee.existence.revealing, radically.reworked.trap, which sums up the course of our relationship in 3 acts really. Some of the others I found are just pure Fall lyrics, but I'm looking for random relevance. This whole thing is awesome btw.

Interesting article and thread
Really. Guardian journalist @TimAdamsWrites gets a free holiday then writes a puff piece promoting a private system where a private company owns the address system in the developing world? What went wrong here @KathViner? Where are the Guardian's nerds? https://t.co/4YIq8xpPxG— ben goldacre (@bengoldacre) June 24, 2018
