Chris Applegate of qwghlm is making me homesick. He’s uploaded a shot of MY street on Flickr. Not that I ever took photos of my flat or my neighbourhood the whole 6 years I lived there. You just don’t do these things as a local. But I’ve been acting the tourist in Santa Monica today, […]
It’s been a while since I last did a silly internet quiz, so I jumped at the chance to prove my geek-worthiness after reading badly dubbed boy’s geek post. A score of 9/11 left me feeling rather disappointed; I didn’t know who coined the phrase “science fiction”, nor could I remember a quote from Dune […]
I’m looking for a cool/cooler bag to get the ice cream safely from shop to fridge, and have come to the conclusion that Americans just don’t do small. But this has made my day. (Don’t mention the cricket.)
On par with a quick dusting so you can see the TV screen again. Since it’s all-change on the real life front, I thought I’d update this blog a little bit too. I’ve borrowed (or stolen) from chicken yoghurt the idea of placing news snippets that I don’t have the inclination to yak too much […]
From BBC news: Dundee United to lose top striker. I cannae believe the SPL has so much say over who can and cannot get a work permit to play footie in Scotland. And that they claim Jason Scotland is “not of the highest calibre”. He is Dundee United’s best player, for crying out loud! And […]
And the home of the car. Service will resume shortly. Meanwhile, for your reading pleasure (or voyeuristic streak), I’ve put up a post on LA on the other blog.
Passport in hand, flight booked. I’m off in a week. Things are getting a bit harried. And as fate would have it, everything is happening around the Royal Highland Show weekend. I’m on bull-washing and bottom-wiping duty again, which will probably tire me out enough to sleep the entire 11 hour flight. (Sorry about the […]
Howzat?! Results so far of the NatWest Series ODIs: one (expected), two (unexpected), three (unbelievable). Is this the new Aussie strategy for reverse psychology before the first test in 32 days? Technorati tag: cricket.
Improvised Originally uploaded by framboise. This hasn’t passed me by. Oh no. It’s just that Doctor Who completely took over this evening and I haven’t had a chance to let it sink in. Plus, I thought it was a very belated April Fools’ joke. Australia can make all the excuses they like, but this day […]
Massive spoilers ahead. (I’ll stick a photo of Rose here in case anyone reading this hasn’t seen The Parting of the Ways yet. Tonight, the Doctor finds redemption. That was, for me, the highlight of tonight’s episode. After his display of hysterical hatred of the Geocomtex Dalek in the Dalek episode, we were made to […]
