ZOMG! Birthday!

Happy birthday to me! Squashed tomatoes and peas! Bread and butter in the gutter, Happy birthday to meeeee! Yes, today I became another year older (all in 24 hours, isn’t that amazing?) I am now old enough to.. well, actually, pretty much the same shizzle as before. Having pre-booked the day off work before Christmas,… read full entry »

Forgotten Something

Do you ever get the feeling that you’re forgetting something, but can’t think what it is?


The Only Problem

..with writing a huge essay on something exciting like Crazy B’s drama is that it’s hard to top it. I mean, I could tell you all about how Hex has decided he doesn’t like the middle stage of the Litter Kwitter and would rather shit on the floor, but you don’t need to know that… read full entry »


Looking at 2007, Preparing For 2008

Around this time last year I was surmising both a stressful and successful 2006. Although 2007 was nowhere near as life-changing, it still saw me enrol in — and complete the first module of — my first step towards an official qualification in web development. I gained my first pay rise in the job that… read full entry »


Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas to all of my readers, young and old alike. May your bellies be filled with wonderful food and your stockings stuffed with presents.. or whatever it is turns you on at this time of year. Enjoy the festive season, and don’t drink too much brandy eggnog — leave some for me at least… read full entry »

Hoorah!

My report is done. All 3000 or so words of it. 90% of which I did tonight. I hate how I leave everything until the last minute (it’s due tomorrow). Anyway, woohoo, I am going to celebrate by getting off the damned computer for a while. Go me :)

Killing Myself Slowly

Guess which lucky person has managed to give themselves food poisoning? I don’t know how, because I’m so ridiculously anal about raw meats and things, but last night I was mightily sick. I’d been sat on the sofa all evening since tea (dinner) — which contained the deadly chicken thigh — playing Zelda. Not a… read full entry »


Appeal: I Need a Bag

This is a public appeal for help from all you girlies out there (and boyzies, if you’re that way inclined). I need a new bag. I’m not talking a hand bag, or a clutch bag (I’m still not even sure I know what one of those is) and I’m definitely not talking a colostomy bag…. read full entry »

Day Off Tomorrow

I’ve got the day off work tomorrow, so if there’s something I’ve been promising you or something that I’d said I’d do, now’s the time to remind me so I can get some things crossed off the list in the coming weeks before Christmas. Hopefully this’d give me a bit of a fresh slate to… read full entry »


BBC ‘loves’ its single quotes

I can exclusively reveal that the BBC website editors have a serious addiction problem. This news may come as a shock to some, but I know a few who’ve noticed the dramatic increase over the years. It’s a serious case of infatuation with the single quotation mark (or his twin brother, the apostrophe, whichever way… read full entry »
