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.

Seriously; you *are* taking the piss now aren’t you?

‘scuse the outage
Zest host moved my server, but one of my databases was corrupt – it was hanging together before, but unhappy post move. (Or more accurately failed to copy, ‘cos it was b0rked). And for the first time in my life, I’m impressed; Zesthost’s new owners techie people have fixed it in no time at all;…

Entering the arena of the unwell
And no, I’m not referring to work. Although it could just as well be a name applied to that. No, in this case it’s a sore throat and a general feeling of impending illness. Although apart from the sore throat I don’t *feel* unwell, I’m waiting now, for whatever lurgee is going to pounce. It’s…

So, the Kate is the Tired.
Housewarming is on the 19th; which on the one hand seems a long way away – until you realise I’m still attempting to plumb in the radiator (would be easier if the crappy (but very expensive) blowtorch actually worked upsidedown – I remember my dad’s old one would sputter a bit, but carried on going.…

Sometimes I’m a little hard on myself
I thought ‘poot, didn’t get much done today’ List is: – Painted 2 walls – Measured and mounted on wall radiator – Struggled with, hopefully understood and have correctly positioned the mounts for the gas fire – Found TV Remote (harder than it sounds, given that I’ve not unpacked) – Moved the TV onto a…

And so endeth 2006
It seems everyone’s doing a ‘2006’ summary post; I’m debating jumping on that bandwagon. It’s something I’ve done every year (well, not a 2006 summary; but a ‘my year in a few words’ (or at least, less words) thing) since I started journaling; way back…when the web was new and shiny. Well, actually, the web…

I am totally in love…
…with this album: Underground / A.M. At least, I’m totally in love with the minute long clips; they’re actually staying in my playlist. In fact, I’ve listened to it several times today. Expect a purchase in the near future.

News from the Kate-i-verse
So, Xmas and Boxing day and so on. Yup. Xmas – I worked the morning, and then went to my sister’s in the afternoon. This is the first year I’ve not got Xmas dinner, probably in my entire life. It’s weird, I’ve actually *lost* weight over Xmas (which is good), but I still feel pissy…

One month in…
And my hands are cracked to shit, my budget’s screwed by a plasterer of previously unknown quantites of evil and… the room’s got an undercoat of white paint. All of it. The room is WHITE. It’s like a special meeting of the BNP in there, between the white filler dust which coats every surface, the…

Reading, writing and arithmatic
So, yeah. Um. Been a couple of weary days; Xmas shopping is complete, Xmas wrapping is not started. Cards to go to the states, still not sent. Absence of local post office. I take that back, apparently there’s one about 10 minutes walk away – but I haven’t seen it. I am, however, reknown for…
