In retrospect, I think yesterday went downhill when I put the telly on to wrap my presents in front of... only I didn't wrap any presents, I slouched under a blanket watching Catherine Cookson's A Dinner of Herbs on UKTV History. Thank god my dad phoned to complain at me, or I might have watched Bugsy Malone as well ( Read more... )

I recently subscribed to a bunch of writing-type magazines, in a moment of unbridled madness. I think the general idea was that if I spent enough time reading about writing, I could successfully avoid having to actually do any. Anyway, interesting. Some stuff is good, some is crap, which is a bit like life in general, really. Here is some stuff ( Read more... )

This isn't really about anything. I just wanted to use that subject line. I found it on eBay.

I HAVE DAYS OFF NOW!!! Can you believe it? Actual days off! HOW COOL IS THAT?

Well, well, yet another fancy dress party coming up. Oh God, will they never end? (Fancy dress party thrower, if you're reading this - that was sarcasm. I love dressing up.) ( Read more... )

I'm not doing NaNothing, and I can't be bothered to do a proper post about Pilates and Neil Gaiman and World Events and Lotrips On The Radio, so I'm going to compromise and type a bunch of nonsense straight into my journal ( Read more... )

I have been eating new Cadbury's Snaps. They are good. They are definitely good, and yet everyone I've spoken to on the subject has said the same thing - we want them Pringle-sized, and we want them packed into a tube, like Pringles. Basically, we want them to be chocolate Pringles. The fabulous hyena-based adverts do rather imply that they are, in ( Read more... )

I do rather wish I'd stayed up to watch the Oscars last night. I'd say it was nice to be slightly awake today, but as I've spent the entire day procrastinating for England, I feel as though I may as well have been asleep. Still, highlights are on later.

The Windowsill of Kitsch is getting out of hand. galactic_jack and dandywalker are currently at loggerheads over which ( Read more... )

I'm having a bit of a holiday. I wasn't meant to be, but then the sun came out, and so I've been pretending my house is a hotel, and spending a lot of time outside in our patch of concrete garden, pretending it's a balcony, and that the traffic noise is the sea. This is helped by the fact that every few hours an open-topped tour bus goes past, ( Read more... )

This is an advertising supported journal. Scroll down for dull rambles ( Read more... )
