oh my god

I just added the tripods to my wish list 🙂 blast from the past or what Takes me back to english classes when we had to write a book review of the books we had read over the summer – I had stayed with my cousins in Connecticut and Kenneth ah introduced me to john christopher – I bought all 3 and read and re-read them all that year.

I was 14 [allegedly it is classed as Juvenile Fiction/Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Magic] when this series was first shown and I was amazed how well they had taken the books and brought them to life. I was astounded that they stopped filming after the second series and always wondered if they would re-run it – I never saw it if they did. A definite case of you should read the books first but if you haven’t got time then maybe you should just watch the series 🙂 I know I will be when the first pay check comes in 2002!

i hate the M6

i spent a good portion of yesterday on it – not actually moving you understand just sat bumper to bumper with all the other people who had decided to go up north for christmas.

Merry Christmas Everyone

hope everyone has had [or is still having for those of you in the US] a fabulous and merry christmas. It truly has been a family christmas for me for the first time in a few years. My brother, sister-in-law, neice, nana, grandad, mum, dad, and numerous aunts and uncles are all staying at my parents for a hectic but fun christmas dinner. a joint effort thankfully or my mum would have collapsed with the effort I think.

so whereever you are and whatever you are doing have a great time.

It snowed today

whilst I was christmas shopping in covent garden – wandered into neals yard and it started to snow – made me feel all christmassy – or whatever 🙂

also went to the national film theatre to see the wizard of oz today – kate and paul were very suprised that this was the first time I have ever seen it. Well it was and I tell you had I seen it as a child I would have had nightmares abot the munchkins I tell you – scary was not the word.

then off to david and andrews for a christmas party in sydenham which was lovely met lots of pauls friends [well he claims not to have known most of them] which was nice and I’m feeling happy and lovely.

gotta take his pressie back to the BT shop though so he can have a dect phone with an answer machine – I mean not content with patrick cox shoes

anyways feeling really festive now with my tree and the snow so I added some snow to the site too [only on IE and AOL I’m afraid not NS] so off to walk jack and then to bed to dream of nice things.

tomorrow is jacs party with mulled wine and minced pies and then monday – thursday at my folks in liverpool so less blogging than usual. so in case I don;t log on before then – if you celebrate it – MERRY CHRISTMAS – and if you don’t – have a good few days!

merry christmas from the borg

aol australia have a tasteful flash animation for the festive season – not sure why they have snow though since they are in the middle of summer at the moment. Anyways play at your own risk 🙂

awwh Jack comes out in Dawson’s Creek

I just watched the Dawson’s Creek episode where Jack comes out of the closet. sweet – and so very dawson’s.

net passport

okay so microsoft say that hotmail [which now uses net passport] is secure. they also want other sites to use this as a login service – a kind of global gateway to your favourite sites kind of thing… only problem is whenever I log on to hotmail I get this security error.

doesn’t make me feel very secure – how about you?

ooh paul keating chubbier…

ian reports that Mr K has possibly become a little chubbier than previously at closer to heaven. I prefer to call it chunky and I quite like chunky 🙂 so mr K if you fancy a skinny boy let me know

tis the season to get drunk

and watch the fantabulous pantomime at the retro bar. unfortunately I felt the need to leave before the carol service but twas a truly fabulous evening.
