Websites
Erm, does anyone know how much it costs to run a website and how many hits you need to be financially viable? A website I work on exists, but is being dumped by its server. | | Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 | | 12:28 pm |
Greatest. Website. Ever.
Because real life idiots will always be funnier than anything comedians or satirists can come up with. http://ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com/ spEak You’re bRanes
A collection of ignorance, narcissism, stupidity, hypocrisy and bad grammar.
All the comments quoted were found on the BBC "Have Your Say" site. Yes, people really have written them. On purpose as far as I can tell. There so needs to be an American version! | | Friday, February 6th, 2009 | | 2:31 pm |

Snow!
Actual snow in London! With proper trudging through it and causing the travel system to grind to a halt! Unfortunately, this means my planned birthday trip to see a burlesque show tonight has been cancelled, because we can't get in or out of London. :( On the plus side, snow! And a puppy who very much enjoyed the new-look park. ( Read more... ) | | Sunday, November 30th, 2008 | | 9:12 am |

Argh!
My bloody stairs have bloody collapsed! Well not entirely, but they are hanging by a thread! My brother was walking down the stairs this morning and heard a crack. We thought one floorboard might've cracked a bit. Upon closer inspection, the entire staircase is coming away from the wall! A few stairs are totally out of their hinges, another couple are barely hanging in. We called the home insurance company and they had all sorts of trouble finding someone who could do it, as they need a builder and a joiner, so probably first thing in the morning. Even the builder said it was something they'd never dealt with before. Bloody mad! We're trying to avoid the stairs as much as possible and if going up or down, doing so extremely gingerly. Gah! | | Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 | | 11:22 am |
Congratulations America!
For once you didn't screw this up. Now stay that way, ya hear? I tried staying up for the results, really I did, but nodded off at some point with CNN on the telly. I missed the actual call that Obama had won, but at least randomly woke up in time to see his actual speech. I flipped over occasionally to Fox News and was amused they seemed to be entirely ignoring the Presidential race and focusing instead on the local races, as if they had already given up on McCain before the evening began. | | Friday, October 31st, 2008 | | 11:24 am |

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test... Balanced, Secure, and Realistic.20 Impressionist, -3 Islamic, -1 Ukiyo-e, -24 Cubist, -14 Abstract and 0 Renaissance! 
Impressionism is a movement in French painting, sometimes called optical realism because of its almost scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects. Impressionist paintings are balanced, use colored shadows, use pure color, broken brushstrokes, thick paint, and scenes from everyday life or nature. People that like Impressionist paintings may not alway be what is deemed socially acceptable. They tend to move on their own path without always worrying that it may be offensive to others. They value friendships but because they also value honesty tend to have a few really good friends. They do not, however, like people that are rude and do not appreciate the ideas of others. They are secure enough in themselves that they can listen to the ideas of other people without it affecting their own final decisions. The world for them is not black and white but more in shades of grey and muted colors. They like things to be aestically pleasing, not stark and sharp. There are many ways to view things, and the impresssionist personality views the world from many different aspects. They enjoy life and try to keep a realistic viewpoint of things, but are not very open to new experiences. If they are content in their live they will be more than likely pleased to keep things just the way they are.

Attention all those who can get to London on Halloween! Jeremy Dyson of The League of Gentlemen presents a Halloween all-nighter at the Curzon, Soho, which includes the League Christmas Special, a live performance of Voodoo Lady by Creme Brulee, screenings of I Walked With a Zombie, Night of the Eagle, The Believers and Scream Blacula Scream plus face-painting, DJ and "spooky reading." The films kick off at 11.30pm and it all ends with breakfast included in the £30 ticket at 7am. Yes, I shall be having breakfast with Jeremy Dyson. No sex first, but a girl can't have everything. I cannot express how wonderful this sounds. I got my tickets, they don't appear to be on the website yet, so call 0871 7033 988 and ask for the Halloween all-nighter. I shall also scan the fabulous flyer in due course. In conclusion, SQUEE! Chica, who will Goth up for the occasion | | Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008 | | 8:26 pm |
Oh, G&B, I do love thee
I hate me. But Green & Black's hot chocolate with amaretto syrup takes the edge off. It's like alcohol, only without the hangover. Chica, morose Current Mood:  depressed | | Monday, September 1st, 2008 | | 10:58 pm |
The Bugle challenge - a sonnet for Obama-Biden
Don't know how many of you listen to it, but The Bugle is the podcast by John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman. They made a challenge this week for people to write sonnets because someone realised 'Obama-Biden' is half a line of iambic pentameter. Naturally, I got out my quill. Suggestions on how to improve are greatly appreciated. I did two versions, both end with the same joke, cos I can't let go that a place is called the Mile High City.
Obama-Biden were the names that shone
As coloured sparks lit up the Denver sky
Barack told us that all despair is gone
The world let out a great collective sigh
A million songs and speakers warmed the crowd
Would he perchance say ‘hope’ within his speech?
The buzzwords flowed like wine, clichés unbowed
And so around the doubters he did reach
Should John give up the snark, now there’s the rub
Get drunk on hope and join the Mile High Club!
************************************
Obama-Biden buttons pinned to breast
The Democrats prepared for their new reign
It was just like a ‘Change’ Oktoberfest
Hangover’s in November, yet again
John thought he’d be immune from cunning ploy
Barack’s Absinthe of hope went to his head
Drunk on propitious words and odes to joy
The skin of British snark then he did shed
The correspondent went to pillory
But joined the Mile High Club with Hillary | | Tuesday, August 19th, 2008 | | 10:56 am |
Farewell New York, I hardly knew ye
It's official, I'm not going to NYC this year. I had intended to go for Halloween and the election, but it turns out a series of total disasters in planning have led me to conclude this just ain't gonna happen. Plus it is rather my fault, as during my mother's second (maybe third, can't remember) heart attack, I pledged to not go to New York this year if God so wished. He/She is sending me some none too subtle hints. Ah well, I'll just save up and maybe get a R1 Bluray player instead. :( | | Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 | | 6:09 pm |
