Before you start, yesterday was a bank holiday here in the UK, and I was busy riding on a motorbike and enjoying the sun too much to post. So we will have a Movie Tuesday instead…
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh - Michael Chabon is a genius, so of course I want to see this!
Gamer - mmmmmmmm [...]

I wrote most of this sitting on the train into London, whilst zooming across the country to spend the afternoon celebrating my brother’s birthday with a BBQ. Yes, we British are trying a BBQ on a May weekend – you wondered why the weather had taken a turn for the worse?
How am I writing a [...]

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately browsing round Flickr. I do just love looking at pictures other people have taken - from the professional to the snap shots.
I love pictures. Pictures tell stories, often stories that the photographer didn’t notice, or had no intention of telling.
But looking through one particular set of pictures [...]

(ooh, this one-a-day thing is harder than I thought it would be!)
I’m feeling monumentally crappy right now and the only thing that’s keeping me from annihilating the world and it’s dog is a tasty flapjack from the local bakery. MMmmm sugar. So I thought I would do the neighbourly thing and post a trusty recipe [...]

Oh me-oh, oh my-oh, oh Cleveland Ohio…
Man I love The West Wing, but you know what? I don’t think I love it enough to dream about it. Especially as I haven’t watched any episodes in a good year or so. Despite that, the other night, I dreamt about The West Wing. Not a particular episode [...]

So now we’ve [...]

I’ve decided I am going to take a leaf out of Lilith Saintcrow’s book (book, she’s an author, get it?! God, I should never write this early in the morning) and try for a daily blogging routine. Well, it’s that or watch Bright Meadow slowly wither and die like week-old cut flowers in a vase. [...]

When did I become the girl in pink?
I look down at the outfit I am wearing and I see I am in top-to-toe pink, all the way down to the skin. Not baby pink, I do hasten to point out. Rather, a vibrant pink, an ironic pink, but still. Pink. And I wonder; where did [...]

You know that it is time to start blogging again when you have dreams where you are feeling guilty for not blogging in a while… Yes, I dream about my blog. I think that my life is now officially inextricably linked with the internet.
It really has been an age since I wrote anything, hasn’t it? [...]

Lately I have been reading a lot of chick-lit and urban fantasy and books that, in general, could be considered the trashy side of good. Amusing considering by day I am busy making sure the children of the world have fantastic books to read! But back to my point; a lot of these books are [...]
