The Godhead is an absolute gem of a man. A complete honey. A total sweetiepie and a wondeful human-being to boot.

my weakness is flirting
September 12, 2005 by Cas

Ok, I found this random site that generates these little personality test thingamies for the sidebar of blogs. Because I so don’t want to work right now, I spent a happy ten minutes or so, and here are the few results that made me giggle:
The Underwear Oracle
When you’re bad, you’re very bad. And when you’re good, you’re still trouble!
You’re comfortable in your own skin – and don’t care to impress anyone.
What’s your Japanese Name?
Misako Tanaka
or (depending which name you use)
Hiroko Yamada
- (Japanese speakers/readers out there – what does my ‘Japanese’ name really say? Or what should it be, for both Cas and Claire please)
What’s your Superhero Name?
Your Superhero Name is The Admiral Angel
Your Superpower is Gadgets
Your Weakness is Flirting – Personally, I think those last two should be reversed.
Your Weapon is Your Flaming Hammer
Your Mode of Transportation is Tricycle
How Machiavellian Are You?
You Are Somewhat Machiavellian – How does this work exactly? I am only Machiavellian on alternate days? What?
You’re not going to mow over everyone to get ahead…
But you’re also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it’s an ugly place.
You just don’t get ugly yourself – unless you have to!
What’s Your Power Color?
Your Power Color Is Magenta
At Your Highest:
You energize yourself and push others to suceed.
At Your Lowest:
You feel frustrated and totally overwhelmed. – Ok, this is true.
In Love:
You are suprised by who you attract. You’re a love magnet. – Excuse me?! This is the girl who was single for an epic two and a half year stretch you’re talking about!
How You’re Attractive:
Open and free spirited, people want to explore the world with you.
Your Eternal Question:
“What is my next source of inspiration?”
No, I have no idea why either, but I was in need of a laugh. A Somewhat Machiavellian Love Magnet indeed.

i’ve been sane a long while now and change is good

Ok, because I am going totally insane, and no fun to be around right now, I am going to hold off the long blog posts till I can guarantee I won’t kill innocent bystanders.
Just a quickie – it was brought to my attention today that if you google my name and a certain social software project I am currently working on, I am the top (yes, that’s the first) result. Depending on what keywords, and how much of my name, you use, you also get upwards of four or five more results for me (yes, little old me!) on the first page alone.
If you’re internet sleuthing skills are any good, go check it out and have a look see at how wonderfully well I am failing my course. If you promise to play nice, I might even let you join the wiki properly so you can talk to the great and the good of archaeology. Well, you could talk to them if any of the
?$%!!*$@*little buggers were using the damn thing. As it is, I can conclude my entire thesis right now and save you all having to read it:
Question: How do wiki’s promote discussion in some arcane and esoteric field no one is really interested in?
Answer: They don’t.Yes, happy campers, the culmination of four years of university and over £20,000 of debt, all neatly summed up in one snappy line. Go me.

this is for friends who come no more, who cannot be among us here
September 11, 2005 by Cas
I had already written most of my usual sunday mid-morning roundup and was on the verge of hitting ‘publish’ when I realised what the date was today. Yes, I really have been that self absorbed lately that I completely missed the fact that four years ago today a good friend of the family died along with 2,748 others.
So, if you will excuse me, I am not going to post the traditional right now – it seems callous and wrong.
Instead, I would like you all to take today to sit down with the people you care about, tell someone you love them, and ring those people you’ve been meaning to talk to in ages but haven’t got around to it. Life is too short and you’ll always regret it if you let that chance slip by.

Knew there was a link I wanted to put in yesterday’s post, but I forgot to.
Mary Hodder on the whole Yahoo ID issue.Um, has any one got a sure-fire remedy to cure writer’s block? I am ok with it affecting my ability to write short stories of slightly dubious quality, but when it kicks in with three weeks left on my thesis, I get a little bit stressed.
As the smilie says, help?

The following got my giggle on…
GIS and Google MappingPoor chap. I do know how he feels.
Paul, if you’re reading this (and who knows, he might be following links back as Mata did), you are not alone. Take it from a girl who’s been bashing her head against GIS for the past four years, GIS is evil. Evil I tell you!
Now, with the scars of my own most recent brush with GIS still fresh, I am going to go watch The Warriors. The CC swears it’s a good film. It’s based on some ancient history you know. I’m dubious.

the president has no intention of starting a world wide bra war

First things first, a new story for you all to read, linkage to which can be found over at: A Sip of Wine, A Sip of Water.
And if anyone can tell me what song that title is from, well, props to you!On with the semi-traditional Sunday afternoon round-up. Because yes, it is 1pm, I am still in my pajamas, and am determined to get nothing constructive done today.
As always with everything I link to, please remember my tone of loving disrespect, and that I find life in general to be inherently hysterical. Any offense is yours to take as you please, just don’t carp on at me about it. So there
Lawn Couch – groovy, and I want one, but this is hardly practical. Think of the grass-stains! And you always get a damp arse when you sit on the grass (ooh, that rhymed!), even when it hasn’t rained for months. Still, shiny.
Squirrel helps with mobile calls – nope. No idea. Seemed amusing to me.
Of Faith and Religion – sometimes, you come across a random post that reminds you why you read blogs in the first place. Not sure I’m totally ok with everything said in the post, or on Tish’s site in general, but something in this one spoke to me.
Hamster-powered mobile charger – the boy deserves mad props for his idea. Not a fan of the subjugation of helpless pets in this manner, but when a dude from Somerset gets mentioned a US blog (not linked to here), I say ‘yay for him’.
Pupils learn through Myst game
* Teaching of creationism is endorsed in survey – I am at a loss for words. Just linking to this as it’s become a bit of a pet “you what now?!” topic for me.
Test drive a Mac Mini – do. Mac Mini’s are great.
Knitted Mittens – I can smell your brains!!!!!! Mwhahahahaha…
Laptop sleeve – I already have a sleeve, better than this one because it zips all the way round, but mine is boring grey wetsuit material. Practical but, as already mentioned, rather dull. These on the other hand, are really rather snazzy, if over priced. Ah well, I guess I could always just snazz up my own. My head-line does say I am all creative. Apparently.
Foofpod – already got something similar to this as well, that Little YoYo crocheted for me back last Christmas, but… *makes small noise of irrational desire*
RawSugar – for all you social-tech-
geeks-people out there. Shiny idea.* Real-time backup – oooh, snoopalicious. Just what you want your boss to be able to do, record every single keystroke you ever make. Then again, I can see the good in this little app. Just call me paranoid.
* Chimp/Y-chromosome evolution – and in the same week as all the evolution/ID broohaahaa as well… Is it me, or is that one butt-ugly chimp?
Your Tea Type – mad props to Moose for this one. I drink Assam, and occasionally Oolong. Freakish.
$1,000,000 to prove that jesus isn’t the son of the flying spaghetti monster – remember back at the start of the post when I said ‘loving disrespect’? Yep.
* Sound of Thunder review – *shudder* and I loved the short story!
US places curbs on Chinese bras – not really funny, but amusing to me due to something in the last season of West Wing…
Wiki Wednesdays – yes, I am a total geek, but this seems fun to me. *hangs head in shame*
Flickr/Yahoo ids – I know I am irrationally attached to some of my sn’s, but I don’t like Yahoo! Never have, and never will! There’s a reason I never use my yahoo! mail, and only use my geocities site under duress. Can’t really explain that reasoning right now, but… *sulks*
And that’s me done for another week. Off to reclaim my washing from the laundry now. I do lead an exciting life. Remind me to talk to you all about cereal and water sometime…
