No rest for the wicked

Home. Good weekend. Knackered. Will blog more tomorrow.

Til Tuesday night, probably. Or Wednesday. Depending. Search parties not required. Thank you for your attention.

An appropriate abandonment

So that's it. Tag. “Finished”.
The last week or so I have been pouring over my screenplay, Tag, trying to make it the best I can make it without a major rewrite. It's not finished - it'll never be finished, not even if it's ever made. But the time has come to abandon it, pretend it […]

Have I told you recently how much I love my Interim Solution?

Probably not, considering that I only got it yesterday…
You may or may not know (or care), but I have been yearning after a Mac for a couple of months now. Well, actually it's been about a decade, but it wasn't until I saw Macs in action at BlogTalk that I became totally smitten and decided […]

Ha! Ha! And ha!

Oh, what a shock, music sales have gone up in the UK over the last year, and that's not even counting legal download sales.
The number of legal downloads sold in the UK this year has now exceeded two million units, the BPI said. This means sales have increased from a rate of 100,000 per month […]

Hey, little girl

It's not often that I buy singles. If I like a song I either download it (scream of horror) or get the album. The only reason for buying a single is if the b-side is worth having and usually they're not, they're just a waste of money - who needs some crappy remix or live […]

Analyse thi… oh, no, maybe don't

Last night I had a dream that a very small frog was stuck in my right ear. I couldn't get a hold of it to pull it out, but neither could it wriggle out by itself. It was a bit like having a Babel Fish stuck in one's ear, with all the sliminess but without […]

Synchronicity

A new-to-me Polish teaching website and a new Easyjet route to Krakow have both been brought to my attention today. It's a sign.
I have promised myself that when I do move back to London, whenever that happens, I will find myself some Polish classes to go to. Still, it'd be nice to get a bit […]

Audioblog and Saturday's shoot

Expect an audioblog post as and when, oh, and the shoot was a real laugh. (And yes, I know it's Random Acts, not 'bites'. My bad.)

How much do I hate Windows?

Quite a lot. In fact, a very big lot. With every inch of my being, in fact.
Suddenly, and for no readily apparent reason, our home network is b0rked. Each computer can access the web, but none can access each other - Windows keeps asking for a network password that I know doesn't exist. I would […]

Lol Lwlw

Mae fy ffrind Lwlw newydd dechrau blog, Lol Lwlw, (dyma'r ffîd Atom. Mae Lwlw wedi bod yn dysgu Cymraeg ers sbel, a dw i'n meddwl ei bod hi'n cwl iawn am ddechrau blog. Dw i'n meddwl fod defnyddio eich iaith newydd bob dydd yw'r unig ffordd i ddod yn rhugl.
Rhaid imi sgwennu mwy, 'te. […]

Be' i wneud?

Be' i wneud efo'r blogosffer Cyrmaeg? Sori am manglo'r iaith.
