Sandwich, Nuclear Plants, and OAPs

This morning, at 6am, my boyfriend poked me. I am not a morning person, so I snarled in my sleep, hoping he would get the message and well, fuck off. But instead he poked me again and uttered four glorious words that could only matter to a person who was utterly skint: You got paid [...]

Yeah, Your Sex is On Fire

This is for my North American friends – which is the majority – but still.
I hear, and know, your inundane with shit music these days. So herewith, some excellent tunes for your ears because seriously, enough with Rhianna and other music dictated by 90201 kiddies. Start a revolution my friends.
1) KINGS OF LEON (3.5 out [...]

My Favorite Place

The shih tzus race out of the car in anticipation. Of course, we checked that there wouldn’t be any cars around as you could hear the boys bubbling with anticipation, 20 miles back.
We exit the car, in the rain, our rain-gear buttoned and zipped up, hoods on, and walk into the forest of Tunbridge Wells.
This [...]

Too Close For Comfort

When you’ve had enough of the work week, and already had a sick day, or two or three, the best way to play a bit of hookie is to roll in late because of public transportation problems. Along with good old PMS, you’re boss really can’t have a go at you if you’re train was [...]

Timeline of I

05:30
I woke up absolutely gasping for water, and praying that it was 3am. No doubt it wasn’t – in fact it was the same time that I had woken the previous night in order to catch the flight, that I missed. Getting up, rather upset, I went downstairs to down an entire glass of water [...]

Horses, Shih Tzus and Fire Works, OH MY!

One of the first shots taken with the Canon EOS 450d last spring. We were out on a walk with the dogs somewhere in Kent – between Tunbridge Wells and Orpington.
The shot shows all the best aspects of the camera. I love how it’s focused on the horse (done by simply resting your finger slightly [...]

You Know You Don’t Like Your Job When…

You’re train goes past a garbage processing center and you wish that’s where you were headed today.
You would rather study during work hours than actually do proper work.
You consider cooking your chicken slightly raw in the hopes you will contract food poisioning and then not have to go in.
You call in sick and watch the [...]

Me? A Bitch? NO!

I read a blog post from one of my favorite blogs: you know, one that’s in my feedreader that actually gets read?  Anyway, it brought up something that’s been sitting inside of me for about a year now – something that I think has always been there – but I’ve somehow managed to ignore it, shun it, [...]

Superman’s Dead

I adore Canadian bands – and one of the best are Our Lady Peace, especially back in the mid-90s. Here is one of their videos from probably their most famous song. I’m posting it because 11 years later, its still one of my favorite tracks, and one where when I listen to it, my heart [...]

An Introduction of Sorts

I had a blog before this one was introduced…not that this blog has really been introduced since no one has heard about it, but no matter – I did have a blog before this one, and it was rather popular. People liked to visit to understand my angst with BT or with the British Prime [...]
