Ok now I've got the big post out of the way, have some odds & sods:

• Here's a rant I've wished many times I could have written: Bi Bi, Baby. It's a companion piece to No More Mr Nice Guy, and both should be required reading for all people - they are about how not to be an annoying, self-absorbed idiot in matters of the heart.
• I'm having a bit of ( Read more... )

Today, I had a lazy day off. I know I said there was loads to do, but a) I didn't write it down, b) I didn't feel like doing anything massive, and c) things are gonna kick off again soon enough, what with having been sent another translation to do by Monday, and the big project starting right after. I had my weekend today! Lots of reading, mainly, ( Read more... )

"You may be stressing about the work you see for yourself in the coming weeks. You might feel extra pressure as your two key planets, Mars and Pluto, engage in an anxious aspect today. The message from these tough planets now is "no pain, no gain." It's like working out; the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Just remember not to ( Read more... )

So far today, I

• woke up annoying early, read for a bit, then dozed most of the morning away
• had a deep & meaningful discussion
• travelled to the Beak St mailbox via Oxford Circus and Regent St, which was a big mistake - Regent St was closed to cars and jammed full of people

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I'm a translator, not an invigilator. If this gets any more complicated, I'm not really going to bend ( Read more... )

FuZe was good! No idea how noise and psytrance go together, but enough people seemed to overlap between the two so it worked. Benjy and I left after Punch Inc. as we were tired, how very sensible.

Saturday, I lazed about ALL DAY on my own! It was great. Watched The Cat Returns[1]. Went to the park for spinning in the evening. Whip is going well, I ( Read more... )

Today, we learn the following:

• Unproductive day means that the stuff that must get done takes all day, leaving nothing for the rest. Let's hope it all works out, eh?
• Can't work in my garden, sun goes in. When sun stays out, can't see my screen. Nowhere comfortable to sit. Back indoors.
• I now understand the point of leggings, and I feel dirty ( Read more... )

Phew, big catch-up on my business billing situation. It's literally taken me all morning. Back to invoicing right away then, this is a bit too painy ( Read more... )
