It’s been a crazy wee week… I think we must have gone into every single women’s clothes shop in Edinburgh to find me something to wear for a wedding on Saturday. Fortunately, it’s not my own, so I can afford to look a little less than perfect (ha! like I ever could…). But all the […]
Cheviots Originally uploaded by framboise. For a wee visit, then off to Elgin, Rouen, Paris and back to LA. Never have I travelled so much in such a short space. I’ve neglected my duty as a circadian biologist, failing to collect blood samples to measure my cortisol levels (which are probably at a constant high […]
The crazy month that was August is nearly over. Thank goodness for that. I don’t think I crawled into bed any earlier than 1am for over a month. Being totally worn out from the constant partying, I lost all sense of reason and invited my entire lab to my first LA BBQ. Technically, it’s the […]
From the Guardian: Mandelson’s textiles U-turn Honestly! “Rationing”? When did clothes become one of life’s essentials? And if we’re talking about clothes from China, 1. they’ve probably been made by poorly paid, badly treated workers, and 2. they’re probably more tat that we would do well to stop buying. Who’s been twisting Mandy’s arm anyway?
This is brilliant. English women’s sports teams seem to be doing better and better these days. Although they didn’t get far enough in the Women’s European Championships (footie), they certainly upped the profile of the women’s game. Perhaps this Ashes victory will inspire more girls to play cricket in school. I wish I had the […]
From BBC news: Liverpool play Owen waiting game Benitez doesn’t want him. And I don’t want him back either. He might be a good Shearer replacement for Newcastle Comedy Club (trademark the folk who write The Fiver at the Guardian) though.
Australia may have to follow on! Heh. How often does that happen? Not counting chickens before they hatch, but it’s put me in a good mood this morning…
From BBC News: Discovery returns safely to Earth. Funnily enough, I had BBC 24 on the telly yesterday morning at 5am (yes, I wake up pretty early). Which is why I didn’t s*** myself when I heard the sonic boom. It shook the windows and patio doors. First time I’ve ever heard one.
Went to see March of the Penguins recently, which makes this penguin song by eclectech all the more funny. My apologies for the lack of content recently. I’ve been very busy getting pished for the last fortnight.
Recently stumbled across IFILM when the TV in my wee studio died. It’s a great collection of viral videos, trailers and fan films. The one that cracked me up the most? A Greenpeace video: Blair Blows Bush. Might offend those of finer sensibilities. Who might prefer this: boarding Hurricane Dennis. Well cool. Wish I could […]
