Well, thought I'd come back to write up what I lost earlier, but sod it, I can't be bothered to re-write it, and it wouldn't be as witty or interesting as the original anyway. To tell you the truth it was a bit of an essay on how crap the British national anthem is compared to the Star-spangled Banner, and how unfair that is, but hey. When I have ( Read more... )

Just wrote a really long entry and got disconnected before I could post it. Now I can't be bothered! Grr...

Had a brilliant night out in Bath with Dean, Darty and Andy (otherwise known as Wormhole- ask Dean!) yesterday. Ended up in Cadillacs, where the music was cheesey as hell, and had a good old boogy. Managed to have a drink or too, largely tequila, in just about every one of the city's most swankiest bars, so to finish the evening off in Moles was a ( Read more... )

Seems everyone is moving on and moving away, and it's all happening at the same time, which really sucks. Bonnie went back to Wales today. Parting after Summer is always difficult because we get so used to living in each other's pockets for like three months. Sean, Charlie and the kids are moving back to New Zealand tomorrow, which is a complete ( Read more... )

Well. America. What can I say? More than 24 hours on and still nobody can quite believe what has happened in New York. Everything has been so HUGE- America's tallest landmark, and its national pride and security simultaneously dropping to its knees in a matter of hours, a whole country, no, a whole nation, in absolute shock, in fear of war, with ( Read more... )

Found something out today, or finally forced myself to realise something, that was a little disappointing, but at the same time, a relief. I felt equally relieved and sick inside at the same time. Wasn't feeling bad because I couldn't have what I wanted to have, but more because it was final for once. Is it better to hear something you don't want ( Read more... )

Haven't written for a while because my computer's been a complete nightmare, crashing all the time. Not good. Off work again and not doing much at all, which is good. Decided to be constructive today and painted the bathroom. That's every room in the flat done now. Hmm, very satisfying in a sad kind of way! Looks good. Bathrooms should always look ( Read more... )

It is AMAZING what you can download off the internet. I've spent most of the day d/ing theme tunes from classic kid's TV shows; Thundercats, He-man, Dangermouse, Inspector Gadget, Trumpton, Bagpuss etc, etc. Bloody fantastic; trip down the good old memory lane. As Jase was just saying, you're half expecting your parents to call you in for tea (of ( Read more... )

Well, my night didn't turn out quite as expected. Dad, Kate and I were supposed to be going out for dinner. That was until Dad, in his wisdom, stuck his hand in a running lawnmower and nearly took his thumb off. And they trust this man to fly planes??? Still, most importantly, he should be okay; all five fingers still intact and all ( Read more... )

You know how I HATE all things grammatically incorrect- apostrophes in the wrong places are the absolute worst, especially when you see it on TV. And yeah, I know it's annoying that I'm always pointing these things out, but I am a journalist after all, and I just can't let these people that butcher the English language go over my head..just can't ( Read more... )
