Amusion
Word Crimes by Weird Al Yankovic. It's a parody set to the tune of Blurred Lines that is, well, a spelling and grammar lesson. Hee. :D
Also, the fact that Al is still going makes me happy in general. -
Not what it said on the tin
I'm currently very disappointed. I've been scouting round for a new laptop and I found what I thought was the perfect one at John Lewis. It was on the expensive side, but doable, so I bought it. Got it home, the battery installed, and all plugged in to charge. Went to actually boot it up and let All The Updates run, and discovered two things: a) it ( Read more... ) -
My own bedroom
Is where I will be heading in a few minutes. Back home. Exhausted, and everything is a mess, but. Home. -
Offline
Just an FYI that I will be offline at home for about ten days whilst we get the Internet etc. all connected up at the new place. I will undoubtedly take my tablet for a few spins of free wi-fi somewhere, but my mobile will be the only reliable way to get hold of me if need be. :-) -
This brings me joy
Kevin Bacon's grand entrance onto the Tonight Show. I can't believe Footloose came out thirty years ago! He looks fantastic. I actually watched the movie not too long ago, as there were a couple of 80s DVDs available secondhand so we got one with that and Flashdance on it, and one with The Goonies, Gremlins, and Police Academy on it. Good times for ( Read more... ) -
Cheeky Welsh chocolate
When Jack and I were in Cardiff over Halloween, I bought some 'nom nom Proper Welsh Chocolate'. The flavour is Toffee Waffle, which it says contains 44% Venezuelan milk chocolate, Tregroes waffle pieces, cinnamon, and salted caramel. It's exactly as yummy as that sounds ( Read more... ) -
I disapprove of this weather
Yesterday - Thursday - the windchill dipped to around -30C. Then in late evening, it started to snow. Today was blizzard conditions. Still cold, though not quite like that! Seriously, between the snow falling from the sky and being blown around in gales, we couldn't see the house across the street ( Read more... ) -
On the road again
Offline for a few days, folks - the flatmate and I decided to go spend Halloween somewhere with a castle. *g* I shall be contactable by mobile should anyone need me. (How funny to think that once upon a time, I had to call tech support to get them to unlock my phone because I hadn't used it in so long, I'd forgotten the voicemail password. Now it's ( Read more... ) -
Billie Joe and... Norah Jones?!?!
Apparently they did a record together. Upon reading the interview, it makes a bit more sense - the album is Foreverly, a cover of an Everly Brothers record which was itself a cover album. And, of course, the part that made me laugh was Billie talking about wanting to do this project with a woman, and arriving at Norah Jones because, well, Adie said ( Read more... ) -
Through the Never
Went to see it tonight, in IMAX 3D. I love IMAX. 3D, not so much - aside from the general headache the experience tends to give me, wearing the damn glasses over top of my own glasses is particularly heinous. It leaves me with sore eyelids from blinking against my lenses because the 3D glasses force mine too close to my face, and a sore nose from ( Read more... )
