Holy Hell, I just looked in my ashtray. I don't even want to think about how much carcinogenic material I have consumed whilst writing this damn book!

I'll have keeled over with a tumour before I collect my first royalty cheque! Must. Give. Up.

Eff me, the END IS IN SIGHT. HUZZAH.

p.s I realise I'm behind with my comments (and everything else!) but I'm crazy busy at the moment.

I received half my order today, and have been very impressed. The loose incense will arrive separately through another vendor but seeing as I only paid £2.00 for postage, this seems to be a pretty good deal.

10ml Black Magic Oil £1.00
A truly divine fragrance with an enchanted forest feel - a blend of fresh Siberian fir, sweet spices and vanilla. ( Read more... )

So, I ordered one of these to burn loose incense in. I ordered on Thursday morning, and it arrived Friday morning. Impressive!

I was really wanted the cherry blossom japanese burner but it's a little out of my price range. I did manage to find it for £18, but still a little more than I can afford at present. I'm looking forward to the arrival of ( Read more... )

It never ceases to amaze me how Britain grinds to me after a light fall of snow, lol!

Yee, I just heard from Rupert and he is really happy with the editorial work I've completed on the Faulkner and Wittgenstein chapter. It's nice to get a pat on the head :)

I'm on the home strait with the book... at last!

Will spend rest of afternoon working before going to see Tosca tonight. My love of opera is something of a revelation.

Cripes, I feel like I've been hit with the lazy stick today. Struggling to keep my eyes open, so had to take an afternoon nap. On an unrelated note: I'm really quite worried about my smoking, as it is getting out of hand. I'm so anxious all the time that I am constantly lighting up. I need to knock it on the head, seriously. (I also have a pain in ( Read more... )

The purple quiff... is alive!!!

Well, actually it's not quite purple enough yet. I'll give it a third coat tomorrow. It seems to work pretty well with a 50's updo. Huzzah.

I am currently having my yearly 'my hair is boring' dilemma. I MISS having bright red hair, and seeing all the new students with their funky hairdos is making me feel old, lol! I don't want to dye my entire head, because my natural colour is actually quite nice. On the other hand, bright streaks in normal coloured hair tends to look quite crap. ( Read more... )
