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.

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore
…to quote Placebo. Although, actually, of the above only Bitch came into the repertoire of names I got called today. Other names on the list were fucker, cunt, bastard, witch and, oh yes, evil. We currently have a confused patient who’s made mode of speech is to swear, almost continuously. He also attempts to get…

Apologies for the spam
Uh, Alanis, you rock. XKCD, you are inside my brain… And everyone wish Kathryn a happy birthday, because it’s her birthday :-)

And then I went to London
So, I did my shift today, and despite it being a completely exhausting day (oh look, short of staff again) I headed into London for a variety of odds and sods. I managed to pick up a Jeanette Winterson book – (Kathryn – have you read The PowerBook?) – I ended up buying this mostly…

Fracking hell
So, you know when you’re in a fantastic mood, a truly awesome high, you’re running on dreams – and then something really shit happens? *sighs* The thing was, it wasn’t even really shit – it was just shit and I disagreed with it. Strongly. Vigorously. I suspect I did not impress some people at work…

Linux get-a-mac spoofs
So, I freely admit to being a Mac junkie these days. But; despite that, there’s still a part of me that wants to love Linux. And so I bring forth to share with you all this: Get a Mac Spoof and Get a Mac spoof 2. And in the kind of news that actually disturbs;…

The nipod
This was going to be a bit of a review of the nipod, but at the moment it’s a bit of a damning indictment of the poor thing. I don’t know if it’s a dodgy cable, or a dodgy nipod, but it’s not working. Well, that’s not strictly true. It *is* working, however it isn’t…

Here, Trey
How come you never visit? I mean, all you’ve got to do is swim the atlantic… Appologies for the spamming today, but I’m at home and doing some odds and sods, and keep proding the computer. I’m gonna go bath and watch BSG in a bit though, so you should be safe for a while.

HOOOOOLIDAY!
So I booked my holiday, at long last. A week in July in the Lake District, staying on Helvellyn. With Kathryn. Probably going up mountains in a Viva. Wish me luck. The minor’s a bit lighter than the Viva, otoh, the Viva’s more…uh… new? By a whole 2 years… um, yeah. Although, while Kathryn’s away…

Uh, it’s not *quite* an ipod
So I got my mp3 player, and let me say, interface wise apple have nothing to worry about. The knock off looks pretty darn good. It’s got four clicky buttons instead of the ipod turnywheelbuttonthingie, but the clickyness is pretty positive and it’s done quite neatly. However, the interface is, well, somewhat painful. It’s not…

Shitty death
So, working on a ward specialising in care of the older person (and secondary stroke unit), it isn’t exactly surprising that, well, people die now and then. But coincidence can be a bitch, sometimes. Yesterday I had two deaths; neither of which were expected at that time. One of which was only half expected at…
