So I started 2008 with a bad head cold and spent the evening indoors. I didn’t mind missing the parties and the crowds, it was actually pretty nice just hanging with Oliver and going to bed early. Then I returned to work to find i had accidentally been termed and couldn’t get into the building [...]

Don’t you get fresh with me
Yesterday, at the charity shop, I found Neneh Cherry’s Raw Like Sushi on vinyl!! Then Jeremy was all like, who the hel is Neneh Cherry and I was all like, you idiot! How can you not know Buffalo Stance?
He also did not know that Give Up the Funk was by Parliament. I told him that [...]

Found out!
Stuff White People Like isn’t so far off the mark on this count
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/12/14/118-ugly-sweater-parties/
I’ll be going to one of these for New Year’s Eve. But instead of a sweater I found a Christmas blazer. Green velvet with bows! I may add some extra ornamentation as well.
In other news I got found on Facebook today by someone [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like . . . December, actually
So, here’s the thing, I’m not really big on Christmas spirit. I mean I like Elf and mulled wine and the open bar at my office party was great last year, but the whole rah rah go Santa thing is sort of lost on me. Maybe it’ because we don’t go back to the states [...]

Found out on my lunch break that last week a friend of ours was attacked on his way home from the pub in our old neighbourhood (about a mile from our house) on what most people would say is the safest part of the area.
Two guys beat him with bricks and may have caused brain [...]

Holy nuts! or Danger on the 343

O Monday!
O Monday, you are a heartbreaking day when I look back on Weekend and realize I have completed only a fraction of what I intended to do.
Maybe I should set a lower bar for the weekends. Maybe my goals should be things like: wake up before noon, bathe, brush teeth, watch Hollyoaks omnibus.
That’s probably considerably [...]

O Weekend!
Welcome back weekend, I promise not to waste you on sneezes and coughs this time round. I promise you, Weekend, that I will do all my Christmas shopping and not yell at Jeremy and I will work on my novel and I will do laundry and dishes and even make dinner on Sunday.
O Weekend, I [...]

back
So Prague was good. It snowed on all but one of the days we were there. I felt as if I was in an art nouveau snow globe. The food was okay and the beer was great and cheap (pints for less than a £ are always okay in my book!) We walked the entire [...]
