The Wrath of (Dr) Khan

2007-02-26T18:01:47Z

I was really looking forward to going back to work today after 2 weeks' leave for my operation. I haven't had a single conversation with anyone who isn't my boyfriend, my mother, or my best friend. But then a migraine struck on Friday night and ...

QotD: Make Me A Match

2007-02-23T13:47:07Z

Have you ever played matchmaker? How did it go? Once. Accidentally. He had a roving eye, and she was too needy - and a real bitch, actually - once she landed him, she ignored me! It was all very boring, and came to a head one night when he s...

Gasp! Swoon! etc.

2007-02-23T08:13:45Z

I just discovered Ryan Reynolds' MySpace. He's hot AND funny AND a geek. Swoon. If you ever find yourself in a position to speak at a funeral, a great thing to not do while eulogizing a dead loved one, is to wipe away the tears, muster up a re...

They broke my face

2007-02-19T12:49:06Z

7 days ago I had surgery for a deviated septum and I am feeling uncommonly sorry for myself. This is partly due to the 1,000,001 horrific recovery stories I read on the internet beforehand. I mean, this sort of thing is going to put the fear of...

Winds of/and Change

2007-01-18T22:09:32Z

A gale is blowing through London tonight. Anything not nailed down has fallen over. Someone at The Boyfriend's work was almost decapitated by a roof tile that smashed through a window. The silly wooden pagoda my previous downstairs neighbours e...

Nausea validation: try it, you might like it

2007-01-17T15:19:20Z

I was wondering when the migraine would strike; I have been eating erratically and had a few (very) late nights. This morning the headache and fatigue came knocking. I decided to come home after lunch rather than wait until I was vomiting, then ...

My favourite Ask MetaFilter topics today: Long johns: Are you supposed to wear them accompanying underwear, or as underwear? When representing yourself in court, how do you call yourself as a witness?

A little slice of me

2007-01-10T19:42:32Z

Well, this is called Unmusic, and it feels like a good time to share a little of my music, so here it is: Pretty Me (2709kb). An old song, tentatively recorded using new software. Not a finished product in any way. Consider it a demo of a demo....

Very Good Things

2007-01-09T13:00:17Z

Steve Pavlina imparts wisdom (again) with his article, The Courage to Live Courageously: When you look at your overweight body, admit that you really want to be fit and healthy. When you light up that next cigarette, don't deny that you want to b...
