A cursory glance at the search terms that lead people to my blog reveals that ‘girl riding pulsar’ usually brings them to the Thick Plottens every few days. However, when I googled the term my blog didn’t come up at all. It puzzles me, and I don’t like things that do.

Since I’m in a very random mood, this will be yet another of my trademark bullet posts.
