It's been a while
I'm still around; just busy with life in general and Kilimanjaro preparations in particular. The last couple of weeks have also been busy with preparations for both a RL local event and co-writing the ASC Awards Dinner with rocky_t, which is posted today. All human and alien life is over there, both real and fictional, so go and have a laugh, join in ( Read more... ) -
A shameful confession about the terrible after effects of 'flu
My zombification is complete. During that week when I was unable to do anything more energetic than lie on a sofa and watch truly awful television (when even reading was beyond my capability), I saw a couple of episodes of Celebrity Big Brother. I swear it was like being bitten by a vampire or forcibly fed an addictive mind-altering drug. I became ( Read more... ) -
Only half-dead
After a bad Christmas during which my friends were dropping like flies (one sudden death and two unrelated serious accidents, can you believe?), I rounded off the old year by succumbing to the 'flu on New Year's Eve. Today is the first day of my recovery I've felt strong enough to fire up the computer. Can't believe I've been off-line for a whole ( Read more... ) -
Bits and pieces
Nobody seemed to be glowing in the dark when I was in London (although I'm quite glad I did no more than toy with the idea of eating lunch in the Piccadilly sushi bar that has since been considered a possible poisoning venue for one very ex-KGB man). The whole story is just too surreal and too much like a Frederick Forsyth novel to be of much ( Read more... ) -
Still alive and kicking
Just been rather neglectful of my lj recently. Last weekend, I went to London for what I laughingly call my annual culture trip (the last one was nearly three years ago and involved two separate Star Tek related events, so not exactly high brow). I dithered too long over the decision of whether to use public transport now that there is, in theory ( Read more... ) -
Returned from my travels
Arrived back quite tired from a busy few days followed by a long day of travelling by sea and road from Scotland to Wiltshire. We normally take two days for the journey but time was short this year, so we had to do without our usual overnight stay in Cheshire. I ambled back to Wales the following day and am now trying to catch up with all the jobs ( Read more... ) -
2nd Attempt
Another try at updating, hopefully, unaccompanied by those dreaded words, "Program not responding ( Read more... ) -

Arrgh!
Mozilla just ate my thoughts about Kilimanjaro. It's too late to start all over tonight. I'll try again tomorrow. -
Upwardly mobile
Despite my general aversion to reality TV shows, I have to admit my addiction to 'Extreme Dreams'. The format is simple - a group of three women and two men join nice guy presenter Ben Fogle on gruelling treks in exotic locations. So far, Ben has led his teams 200 miles over the Andes to a remote Inca city, through the Guyanan rainforest to the ( Read more... ) -
