I’ve not been fully with it on the communication front for the last few days, my online experince has been pared down to about 4 twitters and the deletion of spam from my email accounts.
Oh what a beautiful morning!
February 18th, 2007It is absolutely gorgeous out there today. Bit cold still, but the front room seems so warm and inviting when the sun streams through like this – and to think I used to avoid the sun where possible (well, ok so I’m not planning on going outside in it for long, but i’m not hissing behind closed curtains either)
Isn’t life grand?!
February 15th, 2007In an abrupt change of mood from the last few days i’m going to bed full of the joy of life – no I don’t mean i’m preggers, I am however pretty happy right now.
High school musical
January 27th, 2007I’ve seen this thing everywhere – and I do mean everywhere, Claire started talking about it tonight because apparantly all her kids love it (by ‘her kids’ I mean the ones she teaches music to) so I asked her what the deal was – this sparked off a huge discussion with her sister about the best tunes and why it reminded them of the brit school etc etc
This week oive been mostly..
December 9th, 2006Sleeping.
Yup, the CFS has reared it’s ugly little head and attempted to steal my life again – this time around though I haven’t crumpled into a weeping wreck at the unfairness of it all. Stef took me into town on wednesday so I could meet up with Dawn, he’s a good lad really, there should be more about like him!
Not a lot..
August 13th, 2006We were driving along in the car the other day, listening to radio 2, as you do..
Who should be talking but that national treasure of ours Paul Daniels himself.
He’s a clever bod is our Paul. Not only is he renowned for his magic show, but he’s done a fair old few of the celeb reality shows about – and the guy also allows his hidden geek free rein with this website.
That’s right, apparantly he’s been all webbed up since before most people knew what the internet was! He’s a gadget freak of the highest order and does all his own coding.
happy happy yeah yeah
February 14th, 2006Went to the Trafford centre to see that new Heath Ledger film today – you know the one…
Cassanova.
dvd consumerism
January 24th, 2006*chuckle* internet retail therapy is bad.
Truly, it is – amazon is… Well, lets just say they must love me over in the banking department *sigh* but I can console myself in the fact that my shopping basket this time started out at £114.97 and I whittled away at my possible purchases until it came to under £40.
Now that’s will power *grin*
Sadly it means my wishlist is growing. Damn this consumerism… But can you blame me when ‘classics’ like this and this are screaming out to me at such low low prices lol
charmed, i’m sure.
January 13th, 2006I was a bit disappointed in last nights episode of charmed.
I hope the internal soliloquies were a one off because of the earlier sex in the city references, it ruined it for me though – I’m used to the characters pushing the story along through their acting and a generally well written script – all that internal dialogue about signs and symbols was just an irritating and needless distraction for me.
It’s one of the reasons I’m not a big sex in the city fan – I’m more of a stanislavski afficionado than a Brechtian one, part of the joy of watching fantasy stuff is being sucked in for the duration, it’s an escape thing – I’ve never liked the Brecht line.
I also get the feeling Alyssa Milano wanted to be a lot more to the forefront of the action… Which sucks, good shows should not mess with the format like that! What makes this show so good is the balance between the main characters. Just because she’s now one of the main producers does not mean she should push her own character to the forefront in that way!
The sun is out.. The sky is blue..
January 4th, 2006I’ve had a pretty good day today – even if it did suck when the alarm went off at the crack of dawn.
Had to go to the hospital today to see the immunologist, he was lovely – he’s also referring me for CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy to you lot) In an attempt to help me manage the CFS better. I’ve got mixed feelings on this – he assures me it isn’t ‘counseling’ as such, but the stuff I’ve read on the matter and the things I’ve heard make me doubt him. Guess I’ll just have to see for myself eh?!
Awake and reporting for duty SAH!
December 16th, 2005Perhaps I should be wide awake and miserable all night more often *grin* I finally went back to bed at about 8.30am and slept through till 12.30 – and I woke up feeling better than I have for days – I’ve even done some cleaning (though the boy will probably scoff at that since he’s a neat freak and my idea of cleaning is a little ‘lax’ compared to his)
The laundry is mainly done, I’ve filled out form D36 in readiness for monday (I get to apply for my divorce to be made final before heading up to Grans to dispense gifts and cards to all and sundry)
Space cadets
December 8th, 2005The flat is looking fantastic the front room is all done, the bathroom is nearly finished and it feels like a whole new place!
society today..
October 22nd, 2005This depressed me.
I’m only 29 and I can’t even chew steak properly *sniff* as to crusty bread… If I attempted something like that I’d end up bleeding – or at the very least howling in pain.
I should have been Chinese.
typical really
April 15th, 2005I’m wide awake again – sods law really, I have an appointment with the specialist at the hospital again tomorrow (which hasn’t been cancelled this time, yet.) but since I can’t sleep I’ll just have a quick blog fix then I’ll numb my mind with bejewelled over at coffeebreakarcade either that or collapse, both send me off eventually.
Oh and Look what I just found out *grin* I’m just all about me! Think I should sort out a new template and stuff though, that load time is just way too slow!
..and a glass of white wine for the lady
March 21st, 2005I watched Tv the other night – not a strange or unusual thing in itself – what was unusual was the sheer volume of outright belly laughter issuing forth upon watching ‘An audience with Al Murray’.
prelude to a kiss
March 1st, 2005Sean’s just told me about ‘Jump day’ I’ll share that with you in a minute but first I have to gush about the film I just watched.
Bikes!
March 25th, 2004i cant sleep.
again.
i was shatterd by 11 so off went the pc (im getting good see…) and into bed went i. only to wake up again at 2.30. glass of water, asleep again til 4. disgustingly wide awake so a brief chat to p on msn before he toddled off to bed (bless ‘im, poor baybee has a cold also – its not good.) followed by another failed attempt to install studio mx on my pc *sigh*
ive since made and eaten a VERY tasty fruit salad (strawberries, apples, kiwi fruit, banana’s, orange segments and grapes in orange juice) had a herbal tea, read a few other blogs (and come to the discovery that mine isnt actually that bad *smug*)
Tried looking around for ideas on tweaking my blog template (hence once more attempting the mx install… bloomin thing) im happy with the colours but i want to change things around a bit – add some more pics etc (yes im bored)
Cant even go and watch a film cos the pets asleep – ditto for running the bath cos it’ll wake everyone up (bloomin’ boiler) ohh… films – reminds me..
Went to see Torque with B today.
Ok so the plot is… well.. poor. The script sadly makes the plot look inspired, all that aside though – BIKES! STUNTS! STUNTS ON BIKES!! PERFORMANCE CARS GETTING TRASHED BY BIKES…
and obviously a lead man who’s very easy on the eye (all the good guys are *drool… though i’ve always liked the guy out of witchblade – cant remember his name, he’s the partner who gets killed in the first show but show’s up as her conscience occasionally)
script though… ‘i live my life by the quarter mile’ *shakes head sadly… (almost saved by the equally attractive female leads pithy “that has got to be the dumbest thing ive ever heard” line)
guys – worth watching for the gratuitous scantilly clad chicks and ‘get one over on the car owners’ mentality of the film. Girls… super fit guys in leather. say no more *grin* besides.. its cool seeing a bird who handles herself better than any of the guys. shame its only ever seems to happen in dodgy films.
ok – so it was pants. i enjoyed it though. fave line has got to be just after shane (female lead) decks a guy with an exhaust pipe… she looks down at his unconcious body and says “you shouldnt pick on girls” before taking his bike and riding off to save her boy.
I like her.
