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.

Oxfringe, and what’s wrong with Slough
So, last night we finally made it to Oxford (and to Oxfringe), having lived near Newbury, and my sister preferring to claim to live near Oxford than near Reading (though she’s definately nearer the latter than the former, but the former’s easier to get to, and more worth the trip) I’ve spent a fair (though…

Being bad
I’m normally very good wandering around abandoned places, I don’t pinch no matter what I spot; although, to be fair, I’ve never spotted that much that I really wanted to take. And even when I did spot things, well, I like leaving things for others to find. That’s kind of part of it, but I…

Progression and tiredness
So, there’s been some progress this morning. I’ve headed out and got rid of the 19″ behemouth of a monitor which I tried to freecycle away but wouldn’t disappear. It’s a shame, ‘cos it more-or-less worked, and probably with a bit of effort could have been got to work perfectly. But it’s been offered twice and…

First day off nights
If there’s one failing both Kathryn and I have it’s Laundry. Neither of us is terribly good at getting laundry done before there’s a mound in the washing basket the size of 3 loads. And we’re also neither brilliant at doing laundry before it’s needed. This normally isn’t a problem; one of us will get…

Original Content
Yes, today’s one of those rare days when I’m writing original content. I’ve been reading a fair bit lately (well, one book, but reading it quite a lot) and we’ve also been watching Men In Trees / The L Word / Father Ted and the odd episode of Pushing Daisys. I’ve been watching House and…

Damn shops
So, I need passport photos for the interview next week, in search of which I headed in to town. Well, technically I headed in to the bank and they said “oh, the nearest is the sainsburys”. So I went to the Sainsburys who informed me their photo machine was gone; and the nearest was a…

Jeeze 2008…
2008 has, for several of my friends sucked an astonishing amount. And it’s been surprisingly challenging of late for me. My oldest friend lost his dad 2 years ago (I think) to the same cancer that claimed my dad. This year he lost his mum too; something which has been stuck in my head since.…

So not quite as posty as I thought then
I’m surprised by my restraint, although until yesterday I’d not fixed either of the laptops and the dead G5 continued to vex me, so posting would have had to be done via Kathryn’s laptop or by the TV-Hackintosh. Yesterday I finally got around to stripping down the Dell laptop, it was broken in rather a lot of places; the screen’s casing’s…

More time…
I should perhaps have given the Codeine and brufen and ‘mol more time to work; by the time I got to the hospital i was debating returning straight home, but having forked out 7.50 for a taxi (I didn’t think I could bear a bus ride both ways) I felt kinda obliged. Not broken, very…
