Buzzy! My Man!

So it turn’s out Buzzy wasn’t a ginner. 
Nor was his day so busy. 
In fact the book is actually titled The Day Busy Buzzy Stopped Being Busy and it only took a few days of creative searching on google to figure that out. 
 
 
But I was right about the goldfish bowl and the very dangerous chair standing. 
Oh Buzzy, [...]

It’s not all heroics at the bus stop.

An accounting of my weekend in list form

On Friday I received my new coffee maker.  It has a timer and a permanent filter and I love it.  Since I received said coffee maker at the office I had to beg a large carrier bag off a co-worker and then lug my lovely, if somewhat awkward [...]

Update!

The evil bus driver mentioned this week has resigned.  I don’t know if this was voluntary or not, but really I don’t care.  I’m just glad he won’t be putting more people in danger.
 
The cyclist emailed me (and the other two women) with an update, she’s still pressing charges against him.  I’ve not heard from [...]

Nerd Alert

I spent much of last night watching The History of Christianity on BBC4.
It was all about Luther and the Reformation.  I kept giggling at it because the presenter, Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch, is sort of a goofball, but in a stereotypical old fashioned English sort of way.  I’d like to hang out with him and ask him [...]

Holiday greetings followed by a public trans rant (another one)

First things first, Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans.  May your turkey be juicy and your stuffing delicious.  Today I am thankful that it is very unlikely that I will be receiving loads of annoying queries from the NY branch of my company.  Go pilgrims!  Never mind the religious hypocrisy and mistreatment of indigenous peoples, you have [...]

Oh my goodness

It’s like God took a look at the festival season and said to him/herself:  What would make Carolyn happy this summer?  Oh I know this!
I think I need to go to Primavera Sound.  I think it’s going to be very, very awesome. 
Don’t worry, I’ll keep my distance from the eggs.  That lesson has been well [...]

Buzzy’s Busy Weekend

When I was a kid I am almost positive we had a book called Buzzy’s Busy Day about this little ginger kid on his first day of kindergarten and everything we did.  His name was Buzzy.  Ever since then whenever I have a lot going on I like to preface the time period within which [...]

Oh Yeah!

I forgot to mention that Sunday may be the last My Awesome Mixtape night at the Gowlett.
I will be there after self exiling myself at a writing retreat in Islington but Jeremy and harvey should be there from 6:30.  If you are in London and you don’t suck you should check it out.  There is [...]

AND!

The coffee machine is making totally grody coffee so I had to buy a coffee.
Why is my life so hard all the time?  Isn’t there something in the Magna Carta about being entitled to free and tasty coffee at work?  It might be time for another revolution.
Also the spag bol I had for lunch tasted sort [...]

Just watch your back

I don’t know what or why it’s happening but I have got a bad case of the mean reds today, wait no, not the mean reds, I just looked those up and they are about anxiety even though they sound like they’re about inexplicable crankiness. 
Seriously, I would just as soon punch you as look at [...]
