Squeaker squeak squeak squeaken?
I've postponed the flat inspection. If I do a room a day over the next week I should be fine ( Read more... ) -
Oh No!
I found out how to get out of going back to work for a few more days.
Food poisoning, yay!
Oh. Wait. No, it's very much worse than work. And all my own fault as well. -
If you've done six impossible things before breakfast, why not swing by Migratory's workplace?
On top of my regularly scheduled duties (quite a lot at this time of year), I have to write our guidebook by mid-January.
Bar the odd bit I've written here and there, that's a whole (small) book in a fortnight. My years of nanoing are finally paying off. -
Oxfordia!!
That's right, ladies and gents, for one day only Migratory herself will be appearing in Oxford! Starting with a cup of tea with some writers in Borders, she will then venture into the local retail emporiums in search of festive frippery before gracing an eatery with her presence (and that of a friend) in the early evening! Don't miss your chance to ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
I've been able to catch some of the current BBC adaptation of Emma, and I have to say it's excellent. Really well done, and Romola Garai makes a wonderful Emma. It's not my favourite Austen, but it's a great adaptation.

*fans self*
That's a potent bit of casting. -
Last Chance to Overuse Superlatives
Last Chance to See is getting better and better. Entertaining, educational and yet not worthy or preachy. I don't know how they do it, but I think the wonderful Mark Carwardine is something to do with it. The Madagascar episode was sublime last week, but I think this week's Indonesia one managed to equal it. Turtle babies :-D ( Read more... ) -
Somewhat recursive
I've been working ~6 days a week for the zoo for the summer. Which is all well and groovy and somewhat part of the territory with this sort of position. But it gets kind of weird when on my day off, after doing all the normal errands and wandering, I settle down in the evening to play Zoo Tycoon ( Read more... ) -
What of dignity, honour, self-respect?
I find myself rather attracted to a man I know with a gold tooth.
I think that ratcheting sound was my standards lowering. Must be the approach of my 25th birthday.
Anyhow, in other news...
I have a flat! My first ever just-me flat. No family, no waste-of-space boyfriend, no charmingly erratic flatmates. It's all mine ( Read more... )
