I tend not to stay up late late watching tv or whatever, because, as a general rule, I really like daylight. I made an exception last night. 2 things I want to mention:

1. Imelda May* is incredible. Cannot believe I haven't come across her before. She was on Jools Holland. She can sing loud and fast, and she can sing soft and sweet. Note- ( Read more... )

Merlin looked so good on the trailer.

I saw an ad for 'A Place of Execution' . It rang big bells for me so I checked out my bookcase. I actually did a little 'yay' out loud to myself when I found it. If you like the tv series 'Wire in the Blood' (incidentally, that starts up again on Friday at 9 on itv1), then you might well also like 'A Place of Execution' as they are both based on ( Read more... )

Just a reminder - if you like Torchwood and can get BBC Radio 4, a 'special' ep. is on Wednesday (10th Sept) at 2.15pm. It's from Geneva - a tie-in with that particle-chasy-experiment thing that's happening.

How long has hotmail had a 'sent items' folder? Or has it always been there and I've just not noticed it? That would be worse, because I've definitely looked specifically for one before, and been annoyed because Yahoo has one, and hotmail doesn't.

The 'Introduction to London' slot was surreal. The start of Leona Lewis' performance put me in mind of this: Fifth Element: Blue ( Read more... )

...if I'm 13, and I posted (to show off, or whatever) that yesterday I got drunk and whacked my neighbour in the face with a hammer, I shouldn't be surprised if I get a visit from the police - as 182 kids found out. Some might say I deserved it, for telling such a lie ( Read more... )

After last weekend, when I went, quite frankly, a little bit nuts on being trapped inside by the rain (yes, I know, indicates deeper issues and all that...), then a week of more rain, I am unbelievably pleased to see bright, bright sun today. Yes, I am.

I'm wondering exactly how scary it is learning to fly. There's a nest of sparrows tucked in under the drainpipe outside my bedroom window. Over the weekend, I noticed a pattern of behaviour - lots of mad squeaking, then launching off, then, literally, well, my car (parked directly below) has been quite...caked.
