I’ve had these questions sitting in my inbox from roro for a few weeks now. I’m not going to say exactly how many weeks because it’s embarrassing. I expect there’s therapy available for people like me who are chronic email-not-reply-to-people (and a better name as well) but till I avail myself of that help… You’re [...]

Once again, the Internet is down at Meadow Towers and I’ve been told to expect it to be down for the next 24 hours.
I’d make complaints against Tiscali, however it’s only actually been twice in two years, it just seems like more because the last time was so recent.

And most importantly I was in therapy by [...]

Here would be where I normally write something witty and funny and describe my week in a pithy manner. Um, sorry folks, no can do. Things happened, I know they did, just they aren’t very interesting. But I will say this: the RLO has upped his Facebook stalking and is now besmirching my reputation across [...]

Once again, a week has gone by with little action on the blogging front. There’s been some behind the scenes writing but nothing is quite at the stage where I feel comfortable sharing it. I am devilishly annoyed because I had a stonkingly brilliant idea coming home on the bus on Thursday, but by the [...]

I’m not sure if it’s reassuring or not to hear a track that’s been used on some show, fall in love with it, google it to find what the track is, head to iTunes to download it… only to find you already own it.
This has happened to me more times recently than I care to [...]
