Not been updating recently. Mostly because all I have right now is free floating gloom and non sequiturs. Even I'm not interested in my free floating gloom, and while the non sequiturs may possibly be of interest to someone out there, the gloom has somehow killed my ability to make words do the things I want them to.

ETA: BOOK!!

Ok, that epilogue thingy for Deathly Hallows that's floating around had better be a fake because some prat just spoiled me for its contents and oh, I will be so pissed if that troll has just ruined the ending for me ( Read more... )

Went up from Malacca to Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. Flew back to Birmingham airport... *looks at calender* yesterday. Ish. Am now back, albeit with a deep hatred of Birmingham airport for having the most bloody finicky, superior, troublesome immigration people I've ever had the displeasure of meeting ( Read more... )
