I will…

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Post more - this is not a New Years resolution! Think of it more as a personal challenge *grin* I will also endeavour to be a little better in keeping in contact with friends. Facebook has revealed an awful lot of people to me that I had presumed MIA so it should be easier. I just need to find the time for it.

Paris as Audrey Hepburn???

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I know this is way old, but whilst perusing Google Image search for some snaps of Audrey Hepburn (a Goddess), I was utterly, utterly devastated to find that Paris Hilton attempted to imitate Audrey in a photoshoot.

Paris’ image is below:

 Paris' travesty

The original [for your delectation] is:

Audrey Hepburn

As you can see, the difference is night and day. On the one hand we have Audrey, a screen Goddess and on the other we have pure, unadulterated white trash…

Ms. Hepburn would surely be turning in her grave…

Wait, wait, wait…

I love Buffy, Buffy > All…However, her creator Joss Whedon has a new project called Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog. I highly recommend you check it out!

There I was wondering why I had no spam comments. Well, after clicking around my admin pages, I found them. All 15672 of them. Askimet to the rescue! It’s currently trawling through them trying to seperate the wheat from the chaff…

Thanks heavens for automation ;)

Catching up…

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

You know, the one thing I find myself very bad at is catching up with friends [and apparently writing blog entries]! I no longer live in my country of birth and therefore, have friends overseas. You would think in this electronic age that communication would be easy. Unfortunately for me, that doesn’t appear to be the case…

An email, a simple phone call, an SMS; all these things elude me and I find myself in the horrible situation whereby far too much time has elapsed since last contact and then I feel bad which makes me procrastinate.

I think most of my friends are used to my approach in this area, they could find themselves bombarded one month and abandoned the next - still , surely being friends, they know me by now and don’t take offense.

Time flies huh?

 I can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted…I’ll have to make more of an effort.

Wow,

 Haven’t been around for a while due to lots of things, work has been hectic, wedding plans are coming together and the Formula 1 2007 Season is about to close with a cliffhanger of a finale! We still have a few things to do, but basically the wedding is virtually planned. The invites should be completed this weekend and then dispatched early next week hopefully.

We don’t have too many guests to invite, plus, we think a few may not be able to make it to our big day. The one thing we have slowly learnt is that you simply can’t please other people when it comes to your own wedding. We have definately been guilty of thinking of other people first when we should have been worried about making our day the best for us. We have the people we want there being invited and ultimately, that’s all we need. The food / drink / music doesn’t *really* matter - although I will go through the music list with a fine tooth comb!

Back to planning it is then…

Bash that Wiki…

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

So…

Is there a term for one who excessively uses Wikipedia? Would a ‘wikitan’ (wikipedia tangent) relate to the oft-told story of someone who searches a single term on Wikipedia and then finds themselves seated after an inordinately long time?

I find most ‘wiki sessions’ to last at least 30 minutes (Working? Of course I’m working…) and some can go for a couple of hours.

Thank god for tabbed browsing is all I can say…
