This week can be divided neatly in to two:
BAD THINGS:
God I am so exasperated with myself this week. My head is just all over the place. I owe £27 to one library and £19.20 to another because of my utter stupidity and inability to remember to renew books on time. And I used to work in a friggin' library. The slightly tarnished silver lining is that ( Read more... ) -
Stick a fork in me...
...because I, or rather my dissertation, is DONE.
Now all I have to do is waft hazily around in the sunshine, reading all the books i haven't had a chance read, and watching the dvds i haven't had a chance to watch.
I'm re-reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (tee hee, always make me think of Arrested Development) and am going to start Beyond Black by ( Read more... ) -

Smart Bitches Trashy Books has posted a review of the Sweet Valley High, Dear Sister.
One of my personal favourites :) http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/
Here's an excerpt:
Enter Bruce Patman, the slimeball rich kid who took advantage of Jessica in an earlier book, and has had it in for her, and for Elizabeth, ever since. Elizabeth, it seems, ( Read more... ) -
Gifts galore
So it's the run-up to handing in my dissertation on the 28th. I'm not feeling particularly nervous, I've done the research and am quite enjoying the writing up. It is slightly nerve-wracking, but it'll be good to be able to relax completely after it's handed in.
I had quite a pleasant, cosy little birthday, (the only downside was not being able to ( Read more... ) -
Merriweather, Maladies of
Argh. What the hell is wrong with me? I should be working, but instead am procrastinating big time. Must go do work.
Will just quickly update first.
Merri's skin condition is playing up again, the poor lamb. I spoke to the cute vet about her meds. He was going so fast (on a bad line I might add) I had to stick one finger in my other ear, so I could ( Read more... ) -

I haven't had much news to post in a little while. Had a double wedding weekend, and the one at which I was a bridesmaid was just lovely. Really. I forgot how after all the stress and strains are over, weddings can be damned fun. I left early though, and missed the grooms 92 year old grandmother getting rip-roaringly drunk and falling over and ( Read more... ) -
Books galore...
I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on the day it came out (exhausting!) but don't really know if I've got anything new to bring to the table. There were parts I liked, bits I hated, and stuff that could have been done better. I read a bizarrely glowing review of it on the normally cynical pajiba.com (here if you're interested). I can't ( Read more... ) -

Took Merri to the vet, her skin condition was playing up again. We got the handsome Aussie vet (score), and Merri was at her cutest. She basically snuggled in to my chest shivering, put her two paws on my collarbone, and hid her face in my neck. I did have to bend down a little to accomodate her. Bless her, the vet was like 'poor little munchkin ( Read more... ) -
Yo ho ho?
This week is a mixed bag. On the one hand I was mortally bored, today and yesterday. On the other, the tail end of the week is devoted to celebrating upcoming nuptials in some shape or form. Sandwiched in between in a trip in to central to see either Shrek 3 or the new Fantastic 4 (yeah they will both mildly suck, but the ample snarking opportunity ( Read more... )
