We've had new windows and window frames installed in many parts of the house today, including my room. Now I've got to try and get my work down without being asphyxiated by the fumes from the brand new window frame and sealant!

It should at least be gone in a few days.

Anyone else notice how absurdly high the fuel prices in the UK have been getting? And this time, unlike in mid-2008, the price of crude alone pails in insignificance to how much fuel duty tax the government makes us pay - and there's due to be another 3p rise come April!

When I visited North America this Summer I saw that Pixar's latest movie 'Up' was now out in cinemas - but only in North America. When I was hanging out with my pals in New Hampshire we had planned to see the film one night, but instead everyone got sidetracked and had a mini fursuit parade instead. Whilst that was quite fun at the time (no, I didn ( Read more... )

Two days ago I started getting a series of silent calls on my mobile phone. Yesterday, I got at least TWENTY of them on two seperate numbers - one untracable, and one from a foreign mobile. Fortunately these aren't personal attacks on me - because a text came from the foreign mobile with a veeerrry poorly punctuated message saying stuff along the ( Read more... )
