I'm not doing at all well at posting this meme in the correct year, am I? Anyway, have a rather-delayed end of the year 2017 post!

What did you do in 2017 that you'd never done before?Visited the Netherlands! It's something of a bittersweet memory as the family went on a overnight trip to scatter Oma's ashes on a beach in Ijmuiden, where she grew ( Read more... )

It's November, which means it's once again time for NaBloPoMo! And time for NaNoWriMo, which one year I might actually attempt.

This year I'll open by finally posting the answers to a Name That Game I posted back in March. This one seems to have stumped everyone - either that, or the usual commenters missed the post or have drifted off to other ( Read more... )

This is what you get when random inspiration strikes...

Name that Game, round 3!

1. Pick some of your favourite games.
2. Find a quote from each game.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess, with comments screened so everyone gets a chance.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it.
5. Update with the answers in a week or two.

And now for something completely different! I was randomly inspired to put together another guess-the-whatever, but before I can post that I really ought to post the answers for the last round.

So, without further ado, here are the answers for round 6 of Guess the Movie!

1. My history’s a little hazy Cassius, but shouldn’t the Barbarians lose the ( Read more... )

Every once in a while this wanders across my feed...

If you're reading this, even if we barely talk, comment a memory of us. After, post this if you want to, because you'd be surprised the memories people hold of you.

I had an ulterior motive when I posted the answers to Guess the Book yesterday... because I've put together another round of Guess the Movie! I quite enjoy putting these together and picking out the various quotes - some of them are fairly plain, some are downright silly, and some are deeply meaningful.

Guess the Movie Meme, round 6!

It's been a while since the last book meme...

Guess the Book Meme, round 3!

Do I even need to post the rules anymore?

1. Pick some of your favourite books.
2. Find a quote from each book.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess, with comments screened so everyone gets a chance.

In other news, it's time for the answers to Guess the Movie! You've all had nearly a month now so I suppose I should put you out of your misery and give you the answers.

Comments are still open on the Guess the Movie Meme, and I know that at least two of you know where one quote is from... so I'm going to be mean and not post the answers yet :)

In the meantime, here's the more-or-less on-time 2016 meme!
