A Portrait of Love

todayiamadaisyWhy are television police stations so poorly lit? I am watching Whitechapel, and I am just wishing that someone would turn on a light in their office. It's a safety hazard, the dim light they're working in. Where's OH&S when you need them?
I have learnt two things today. One I looked up, and one I sort of stumbled upon. The first thing was that I thought to look up something that happens to me when I go to sleep most nights. Just as I'm about to drop off, I get this one whole body tic that wakes me up, then I can go to sleep. And that, it turns out, is called generally a myoclonic jerk, and when it relates to falling asleep, a hypnic jerk. So there we go.
The thing I stumbled upon was Morton's toe, which is what it's called when your second toe is longer than your big toe. This is my foot! Both of them, even. I have never previously considered that this was notable, and certainly not worthy of having a name. Apparently the Statue of Liberty has the same.
