I've been feeling a little ... adrift, or something, for a while now. No more writing. Reading books is starting to feel like a chore. There is nothing I want to watch. The Internet has lost its appeal, by and large. I just sort of drift from one thing to another, trying to find a way to pass the time until bedtime, bored and not really enjoying ( Read more... )

Not feeling up to a coherent post, so here's a bulleted list.

• Watched The Avengers. Great fun. RDJ was even prettier than in the Iron Man films (I think aging is agreeing with him). Captain America, on the other hand, really needed to lose that stick up his (admittedly not bad to look at) arse. I booed whenever he was mean to my darling Tony, ( Read more... )

First: I apologise to everyone who got an untitled spam email with a suspicious link in it from my yahoo address earlier this week. It seems that like so many others, my Yahoo email account got hacked as well. I have changed the password and emptied my contact list, so I'm hoping it won't happen again ( Read more... )

I realised two days ago to my great surprise that I'm going on holiday on Monday. For three weeks, even! I'd completely forgotten I asked for holiday time already from August onwards.

* The most important holiday of the year - the combined Victory Day (23 June), Midsummer's Eve (23 June) and Midsummer's Day / St John's Day (24 June) - just has to fall on a weekend this year. *rolls eyes* No days off work, that is ( Read more... )

Random update time, just so people know I'm still around (and still trying to keep up with the f-list, even if I don't have a lot to comment - I do read and care ( Read more... )

Cold weather continues being cold. There's the occasional bit of sun shining through some tiny hole in the fluffy grey carpet in the sky, but mostly it's all ... grey. And occasionally rainy ( Read more... )

How can doing nothing but lying in a dentist's chair for half an hour be so exhausting? I nearly didn't make it out of there on my own two legs.

( Cut for mildly gory details - well, gory only if you have dentist-phobia or blood-phobia. )

Nasty weather is nasty, fourth day in a row (I think there was a moment of sunshine on one of those days, but mostly it's been dark grey, rainy, windy and cold ( Read more... )
