Hurrah, it’s monopoly time!

Has anyone seen the new Monopoly board? And I thought the game was squabbling and mammon-ish already – now you can charge your fellow players millions of pounds when they land on your properties. And the new locations are cooler as well. As soon as I have a spare ?20 floating around, I’ll buy it. [...]

Guitar Porn

There wasn’t much time to blog about this before, but I think I should mention now that my guitar finally arrived!

In the end I decided to go for a Squier Standard Stratocaster in Candy Apple Red finish, with a maple fretboard. I don’t know why, but I just didn’t like the look of a [...]

Nice

I was looking through my blog at the entry I made on my last ever visit to Poland – over a year ago now. And I found this:
Even when people are trying to be all nicey-nicey, unhappy homes sink into you and choke you until you become grey and jaded.
I’m so happy my home isn’t [...]

Moving on

Okay, ExMoan coming up…
Finally, over five months after I broke up with him, my ex has moved out! Whew… It didn’t exactly happen in the nicest of ways; after he got a new flat set up I indicated I’d like him to move out by the end of the weekend. He said words to [...]

Okay, I suck…

So I texted K and said I didn’t feel like the comedy club tomorrow. This doesn’t count as cowardice for a few reasons:1) I really am knackered after working 2 days til late. It’s making me feel tired and not fun.
2) As well as the above, I am also feeling permanantly pissed off because my [...]

Anyone up for a bender?

I have a teensy problem. Yesterday, I was invited by K to go to a comedy club in East London, next Thursday in fact. Hmm, fine, you’re thinking. Sounds like a good night out. And that’s what I was thinking too, until I happened to check out the venue online. It sounds great, but then [...]

A rather hasty redesign

I can’t believe I re-designed again – even my blog is blushing. All I can say is, the previous design was a bit chilly (although nice, obviously…) and the weather here is so cold. And, err, I felt like something a bit snugglier and warm. I know summer will arrive properly soon and the need [...]

Want lots and lots of babies…

Oh God, I am so broody. This article from Dooce didn’t help. I want one like that!!
She does have a seriously huge amount of hair though. That’s got to be a record, right? (The baby I mean, not the mum.)

I am healthy (and a clever-clogs too).

Blimey. I got my Open University certificate in the post today, and it looks seriously heavy going, man. A big crest thing on the top with a motto and lions or some kind of noble looking creatures. My mum asked “Doesn’t it make you wish you’d carried on with it after all?” And I blurted [...]

Floaty girly stuff

I don’t know why. but the thrill of the internet is starting to wear off for me. I find myself searching mentally for that exciting forbidden-feeling place that I really want to visit, and I can’t think of more than a handful of sites that I want to go to. And it doesn’t make sense. [...]
