The last two days, I had been thinking that spring has sprung. Today? Not so much, with the grey and the dreary. Ah well, it was divine yesterday and that is all that mattered (someone from work got married. I managed not to cry. Just). And on Friday, there was much celebrating because this fantastic [...]

I do, on occasion, leave the seclusion of Palace Meadows. And when I do, it is to find with great disappointment that the blood baths are closed. Well there go MY plans for the weekend!
I’ve been looking for new hairstyles because I am SO bored with my current hair, and I stumbled across these street [...]

A little bit of furniture jiggery-pokery and I am sitting at my desk again for the first time in months to write the roast. I’d forgotten how much easier two screens makes things! My room also looks bigger now (every little helps) and my Chinese hanging is back on the wall where it belongs. [...]

Bonjour, mes amis. How are you today? You find me fighting a small fit of the winter greys. It has just been a very grey week, though enlivened by a flying visit from Moose. I wish I had something exciting to tell you, but a general air of ennuie seems to have settled over my [...]

I remember now why I haven’t sat at my desk to compute since November - I just can’t get comfortable. Pretty old antique desks and chairs look very nice, but they can be a pain in the ergonomics. Still, even I can get a bit fed up of spending nearly every hour god sends on [...]

I just made a very hard decision: I nuked the contents of my “Sunday Roast” bookmarks folder. There was stuff in their going back to last November and I just don’t know if I can weed through it all! Sorry folks.
So this week is going to be a carefully selected bouquet garni of movie trailers [...]

Well hello dear things and welcome to 2009. I’ve already done resolutions post, so I won’t bore you with that here. I decided to do something different for the first Roast of this sparkly new year. Instead of sending y’all willy nilly off to the far corners of this here internet, I am going [...]

A certain sense of ennui is filling my bones this Sunday evening. I have just dispatched Brother Dearest and Kitten back to London after their lovely, if brief, visit, and am curled under a blanket in my room, staring out at the sleet and dark sky. It’s not a roast day somehow. It is a [...]

Oof. This hasn’t exactly been the best week ever in my life. Can I just say, IBS sucks? Those of you without it, thank your lucky stars! When an evening ends up with you being carted to the walk-in centre at nearly midnight by your poor landlord, you know things are pretty dire. Which leads [...]

Seriously? Think back. When was the last time something made you go “Wahoo!” involuntarily? If it has been a long time, then you need to do something about it, because everyone needs a Wahoo! moment.
For the curious, I have had not one, but two, Wahoo! moments in the last week. It has been a good [...]
