I am in love with Tony Stark.

K, my internet is acting up like a maniacal toddler, but I'm going to ignore it because strangling it with a plastic bag isn't fashionable, apparently ( Read more... )

I have library books.  The world is a good place.

If you need me, I'll be pretending to do work.  I have a lot of work I will be not doing *grins*

Do you ever have too many thoughts in your head ( Read more... )

I had a big long chat with my friend Katie the other day which lead to a very sensible conclusion about something I could do to make me really happy - find intelligent people to talk to.  To which end she sent me to a marvellous website TED, which alas my computer is keeping up with like a slug trying to eat its way through a giant cactus.

Advice.

Advice is today's subject, folks.  I'm soliciting.  Now as most of you will know, I started this blog with a list of 100 Things I Want To Do Before I Die.  And I must say, my progress has been slow and minimal - mostly because being proactive isn't something that comes easy to me.  I'm a watcher, not a doer.
