Lessons learnt

January 21, 2005

Cold, real cold of the minus several billion degrees C variety, is something you have to experience before you learn those little lessons that make the difference between surviving and surviving in slightly less discomfort.

Funny

January 19, 2005

Funny how you think that on the plane you'll read all those blog posts in your aggregator that you haven't yet read, that you'll maybe write some emails and do a bit of work, but instead, all you really want to do is curl up, listen to music that reminds you of your boyfriend and […]

LHR

January 19, 2005

So here I am, emulating my friend and hero Joi by paying through the nose for an hour's wifi in Terminal 3 of London Heathrow. Except Joi always seems to be at Frankfurt, but the principle is the same. The coach to LHR was early, so I had the delight of a leisurely amble to […]

Migraines may be linked to heart defect

January 18, 2005

It seems that a small and easily fixed heart defect may be to blame for those crippling nightmares called migraines. I hope this is the case, because it's relatively easily fixed. I also hope that I'm one of those people that a) has this defect and can therefore b) get it fixed. I am fed […]

Entirely unprepared

January 17, 2005

I am so going to freeze my ass off in Boston. I just looked at the weather forecast and was surprised at how mild it was, until I realised that Americans do the temperature thing in degrees F instead of C. I reckon they only do it to make the weather sound warmer – somehow, […]

Guilty secret

January 16, 2005

When I was 18, I totalled my Mum's car. Three months after passing my test on the second attempt, (I failed the first one due to a handbrake turn), I spun my Mum's car, putting it up a bank and into the back of a 'give way' sign. By the time I had finished with […]

Just keep it coming

January 14, 2005

It's a strange thing, being a Duran Duran fan, especially if you're old enough to have been there in the beginning (even if you didn't start to actually like them until they became deeply unpopular and therefore, with new underdog status, allowable targets for the strange and perversely-minded). I keep expecting Simon le Bon or […]
