Okay, I know its been a while but I have an excuse this time. An actual bona-fide legitimate reason for my complete silence over livejournal. I was in hospital. AGAIN ( Read more... )

So hello. I've not posted in a long time and I guess this is my fault. If you've been eagerly waiting on tenterhooks for a new update, checking back every day then I'm sorry. If, as is more likely, you're now thinking "Oh yeah, that guy. I'd forgotten about him" then hello again! I would offer you a handshake but this is impractical over the ( Read more... )

Okay, so. Halloween is coming up and I'm having a Halloween themed flat-warming party this Friday. I have the best costume idea IN THE WORLD for it. I am going as Colonel Lady Gaga-ddafi. All the fun of Lady Gaga and Colonel Gadaffi in one terrifying chimera! (Pictures to come ( Read more... )

As surely everyone, even the people who hide under stones obsessing over the minutiae of esoteric ephemera, knows the saying by the greatest poet of our generation, Jay-Z: "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one".
