Valentines Day
Balls to flowers and inedible milk chocolate. Romance is realising you've left your phone in a cab, finding it with Find My iPhone and your beloved forking out cash for another cab to help you chase it across Nunhead at 2 in the morning, knowing he has to be up at 6.45.

On being crap at Livejournal
I hardly ever update this thing at the moment; I guess Facebook and Twitter have taken over for me, and I know a lot of people have drifted away from LJ.

The transience of the internet
I just found the website where I kept my art portfolio. Last updated five years ago. I don't even have access to the back end anymore, so I can't change or update anything, but so much of my old artwork, which I was too disorganised to keep or at least document, is on there. I feel a bit wistful about it all ( Read more... ) -
