Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Post Spam: First post
First post from the Shiny, and y’know what, it’s Shiny in here. Need to dink with settings now…but one interesting thing, I finally got the pictures off my phone. Bluetooth does, apparently, work on it. And y’know what? The SonyEricsson T610 can be said to have an attrociously shonky camera. Or at least mine does.…

Post Spam: Ok, I’m still a geek
So, the shiny arrived today. And my, isn’t it shiny. A big, cold, milled block of aluminium, and a huge multi-touch touchpad. A keyboard that reminds me of early ’80s computers (but is, to be fair, somewhat better). Having carefully opened the box containing the box, and slipped the box out, and cut (carefully) the…

Post Spam: People are dumb
People really are stupid. Working in A&E doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence that the majority of humanity are great geniuses, in fact, my cynicism works overtime most days and even still I’m amazed at how stupid some people seem to be. This may sound mean, but it’s true. Of course, it’s not just in…

Post Spam: The House & Garden
So, I promised pictures of the house and garden. I wanted this to be separate from the previous post, though (for obvious reasons). Anyhow, this is the kitchen and the garden at the mo This is the kitchen (uh, obviously) – I forgot to move the 1960’s iron out of the way for the photo,…

Moving away
In a virtual sense. More contemplation on Canada*. One of the noteable things about nights and, indeed, the days after nights is that I’m tired and I spend more time than normal in a slightly less than positive mood contemplating things. Not out-right negative, but tired and slightly low. The tiredness takes the edge off…

Very Impressive Mr. Bond
So, I ordered my computer at about 10am yesterday, at 7pm-ish I got this quote in an e-mail: “Your order was shipped on 02.03.2009. Your Delivery Reference Number is [redacted]. We expect your order to be delivered to your shipping address on or before 03.03.2009” Thankfully they didn’t wake us up in the middle of…

Lies, deception, deceit.
All the complex web of untruths came apart when he said ‘you do know that you could order this in your name with the NHS discount’… …’oh…ah…yes, that would be less complex’. Shiny.

Uh. Yeah. Journal.
So, I’ve just finished a week of nights that I’d describe as ‘horrendous’. Other words that spring to mind are ‘awful’ ‘diabolical’ ‘atrocious’ and ‘ugh’. ‘Ugh’ being largely how I feel right about now. Busy doesn’t really cover it. And apart from last night, and one night mid week, the flow of patients seemed unstopable,…

Progressing towards completion
So, we managed with a lot of effort to get the kitchen to nearly finished; yes, I know it was nearly finished when we started, but now it’s nearlier. We’ve painted the ceiling, the walls and the woodwork. There are a couple of areas around and about that need touching up, and around one window…

A night on the town
So, yesterday, while it wasn’t our anniversary, was the day we chose to celebrate it this year (because I was on nights, or had just come off nights, and therefore it would have been difficult, and then it was Kathryns driving test, and then, and then, so it was the day we picked). We started…
