Okay, this isn't going to be a rant on how easy it can often be to fool members of the paranatural research community, but on how they don't seem to do any actual *research*. Here's three potential examples ( Read more... )

I've just come back from a lovely day with the g/f, Mattie-darling-darling-sweetie-darling. Ahhh, it's so good to finally let my hair down (figuratively, Branwen, figuratively) in front of someone who's just as much an alpha-geek as me... So, we spent the day drinking tea, letching over all dry and sundry... Yes, we're *both* bi, a true terrible- ( Read more... )

That's a feature I didn't notice before, but hey, it's damn useful. Something for me to go "ooh, 7 weeks, huh? 7 weeks, 7 weeks... wow..." and so on... *grins ( Read more... )

...I've decided to tell the world how far I've gotten in my GBA game collection. Yes, I'm *that* bored and out of inspiration... oh, and the art's going tough ( Read more... )

The cawl is almost done, for which I am glad... Still, the family slowly drives me (in?)sane, while my sister has decided to ( Read more... )

I don't know if you've ever babysat for a kid with learning disabilities, but it's an... interesting experience. Right now, I'm sitting here, dreading the moment the Plonker wakes up (No really, that's his nickname here at Chez Durbin-Hughes... the Plonker. He's having an earache for the first time, and so has apparently been hamming it up worse ( Read more... )

It would appear that I have intra-family competition on the blogging spot. Not just mum, or Rhys. Ohhhhhh, no! No, it appears my own sisters have chipped in, herd animals that they are, MUAHAHAHAAAA! So yes, I have competition, and, fair dos, having seen mum's, at least, it's a laugh riot. Mum has taken her innate talent for bitching, and has come ( Read more... )

Can't really believe that. It's been 13 weeks since I last posted? man, that's weird... oh, well ( Read more... )

Well, war has come, in it's limited way, to the hallowed halls of Middle Earth Enterprises. Our area manager, Charmaine, has managed to insult *every* staff member of Helm's Deep and Shire Hall (with the possible exception of Cookie. Not sure) with damaging demands (she managed to shut down Helm's Deep from 10-2 on Monday (and I had to fucking * ( Read more... )

...she just came in, looked at our *one* table of trek books and comics, didn't bother to look around, just looked vaguely embarassed and left. Wouldn't mind so much if downstairs hadn't have made *fuck all* today.

Oh, well.
