A Proper Day's Work
Although I am unemployed, I understand that a working day can be strenuous and depressing, so I reccommend a quick jolt of Cute Overload for those blue moments.
And, for that all important tea (or, I suppose, coffee) break, there's this, which I would buy if I had that thing which comes with a job - you know the one I mean. Colleagues who don't ( Read more... ) -
Autres temps, autres CDs
So I'm listening to Genesis - and not, I have to admit, because I like it. I did try to, once upon a time, but now I'm just trying to find out if my tastes have changed. The Way We Walk (Vol 2: The Longs), as you may have guessed, was a gift, and not a particularly well thought out gift. My tastes at the time were concentrated on the sort of band ( Read more... ) -
I love Xara
Not, you may be pleased to learn, some hot chick I met at one of those European-style rave things. I don't go to those European-style rave things, and if I did, I'd be too scared to talk to anyone long enough to fall in love with them. I'm crap like that ( Read more... ) -
Aren't you glad that's not out of my own head?
1. Would you rather kill a puppy with your bare hands or make out with your father? ( Erk ) -

Still have this crappy cold I picked up while skiing :/ It kinda ruined the last couple days of the holiday (apparently you shouldn't ski with a temperature - who knew?!) but everyone was very patient with me going v-e-r-y sloooooooooooowly and bursting into tears for no reason. K's so cute when his being a perambulatory tissue holder, but I don't ( Read more... ) -
Don't Even Say No
My latest discovery is the Washington Post's Miss Manners, who is a wonderful world of snark on par with TomatoNation's Sars.
My favourite so far is her response to a woman asking how to fend off married men when dating online, which was ( Read more... ) -
Pride & Prejudice - that well known horror film
That isn't supposed to be a not-so-subtle criticism of Keira Knightly's acting in the latest remake of P&P. The whole thing was actually very good. I did, however, come home & have nightmares of the kind which I certainly wouldn't watch if they were a movie, so what my unconscious is trying to tell me, I don't know ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
New Poliakoff! On BBC 1, 9 pm (UK) tonight. It's called "Friends and Crocodiles" and is likely to be very good.
Speaking of BritTV - has anyone heard anything (or even, heaven forfend, seen) "Hyperdrive"? Apparently the first episode was last Wednesday... -
Do you come here often?
Holy crap. It's 7:30 and I'm awake.
No more sleep for me. :(
What shall I do with an unexpected extra three hours to my day?
Well, here's the obvious follow on from sunset in the Sahara: sunrise over the not-so-dried-up salt lakes.
