Pre-judged
It occured to me that I’m prejudice. Not in the racist/classist/educationist sense. I’m really kinda open about that stuff. But about America. I’ve never been there, all the Americans I’ve met in person I’ve liked, but I still find it really hard to actually be nice about the place. And to admit that something there…

Rat bastard thing *mutter*
Actually, it’s my DVD drive. All that struggling with my CD-Rs? It’s my DVD drive. My poor little pioneer. Aww. Still, as long as it still does DVDs then we’re okay.

Grrr.com
I guess it’s suprising how quickly audio CD-Rs die. My mp3.com ones are sick already, well, I say already, but I guess they’re all about 7 years old. Most irritating though is the CD-Rs of the Albums I own on vinyl. For example Salad’s “Drink Me” – which seems to be uh, somewhat sick. It’s…

Wherever I am
is not where I want to be. Whatever I’m doing. It’s not what I want to be doing. My mind won’t focus. One minute I’m thinking about my dad. Next minute I’m thinking about… Well here: Thinking about my dad, look at picture on wall, note little ‘this is X circa Y’ tag, think about…

In a change from our advertised programming
Today I decided to take care of myself. In a rare change from my normal behaviour… I stopped on the way into uni, turned round and came home. Why? Because yesterday, my mum informed me that my dad had decided that if this operation does not work, or that the surgeon decides he’s can’t do…

Wizard People & iTunes
This (Wizard People, Dear Reader by Brad Neely (NOT Harry Potter)) is apparently very good. I’m currently attempting to obtain it, I recommend you do too if you fancy it, before Warner Bros. Stomp on it harder than normal. And in other news; I’ve had to remove iTunes.

The Lord of Windows
So, James visited… And his suggestion (update the video drivers) has fixed video playback on my machine. *ra*. James, you are truely a god of Windows. This saves me upgrading, which was going to be ‘hastle’. Although I’ve still got a huge pause at the beginning of, particularly, MPEG4 videos. But hey. It works. It…

Booooooks! Bad Kate
So, uh, yeah. Yesterday. Right, well. It’s very odd. This house feels more like a home now, a month in, than the old house felt like during our entire tenancy. I feel much more comfortable here. Although it’s odd. I think the ‘days when we’ve not had friends staying’ could actually be counted on one…

Lectures on cancer
Uh, another scan of a diary entry. This one was written in a lecture…

Chaos Level Decreasing, Dreams and Chickens
Well, okay, the chickens were a lie. I’m in a very odd phase of my life at the moment, it seems. I’m getting a lot of what I want, and it’s making me very happy – despite the fact that my dad is very seriously unwell (he’s barely eating at the moment, awaiting a surgical…
