Hi people.

The latest LJ malfeasance has finally provoked me into taking a few more tottering steps towards dreamwidth. I tried to do the adding people thing. I may not have got it right. I bookmarked my dreamwidth reading list, such as it is, next to my LJ flist, so that I will read both. This is tottering, like a snail. I'm doing less of a ( Read more... )

I am loving getting virtual snow in this week of mid thirty (Celcius) temperatures! Thank you ( Read more... )

Last year, in a fit of anti-consumerist spite, I refused to buy Christmas presents for my friends and family.

oh hai internets! LJ tells me I last updated 17 weeks ago. Oops.

I'm no expert in stopping "flame wars", but I'm pretty sure calling for a ceasefire while POURING A FORTY GALLON DRUM OF FUEL ON THE FLAMES is not how it's done ( Read more... )

omg so I am tired, hot, sweaty, and pissed as a newt, and it turns out to be fucking toga night. pimply drunk teenagers wearing bedsheets stole all my fucking taxis.

Dinner: microwave mac and cheese, a salami stick, and a cabury creme egg. I had a wagon. I forget where I parked it.

Dinner: quinoa with roasted pumpkin, baby squash, mushroom, tomato, spinach, cashews and a soy and maple syrup dressing. Definite win.
