Introspection

I’m not really the sort of person who lives her life by books of any sort (unless you count Pratchett’s Discworld series?) but have been reading a few lately that have had me pondering life, the universe, everything… I bought How To Win Friends And Influence People roughly around the time I returned to work…. read full entry »

Feeling Better

It’s amazing the good a decent night’s kip can do. Feeling much better this morning, much less emo. I’m flying through work stuff and none of the home stuff is worth making myself ill over, so I just need to take it steady and get through it one bit at a time. On an unrelated… read full entry »

Ask Me a Question

I’m procrastinating taking a break from studying… so ask me a question. Deep and meaningful, personal, web-related, whatever. Go! I’ll answer them in a post or two over the next few days (depending on how many I get)
