Site Review
Peer-to-Peer Review Project SUCKATASH “A sense of style is the first thing that hits you when you visit SUCKATASH. Whether you like the style or not (I did) it is well carried out with some clever touches – try changing the ‘main image’ from the topmost dropdown menu, very smart! The main content of the…

Friday Five
Friday Five 1. If you could eat dinner with and “get to know” one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose? Wow, just one? That’s a toughie – Martin Luther King Jnr.? Hitler? Margaret Thatcher? Robert F. Scott? Einstein? John Lennon? Ayn Rand? Arthur C Clarke? John Lennon probably. I think he would…

Live life
“These are some serious times we are living, And a new world order is about to begin. Are you ready for the real revolution, which is the evolution of the mind? If you seek, then you shall find that we all come from the divine. If you take heed to the words of wisdom that…

Good Morning
Looks like I’ll be taking the car to work more often as Louise can now get a lift with a work colleague who lives close by. Suits me fine, as I hate the constraint of having to get specific trains. Less environmentally friendly, probably, but it will save me money, and yes I am that…

Walker's Pass
Once upon a time there was a couple who thought they’d try some red wine. They browsed the shelves and picked out a wine from California, a Cabernet Sauvignon – labelled “Walker’s Pass”. They purchased some other goods and went home. Once home they put away their shopping and opened the wine. After a couple…

Friday Five
Friday Five 1. What is your favorite time of year? Spring I think, or maybe Autumn, Winter’s not too bad either. 2. What is it about your favorite season that, well, makes it your favorite season? Spring: I like the cool days, occasional sunshine and all tha growth and new greenery. Autumn: cool evenings, the…

Being positive
My foul mood is slowly dissapating and being replaced by a curious mix of apathy and mild hysteria. You know the type when things get so bad the only option left is to laugh. I also find a small element of positive thinking creeping in, excuse me while I kick that into touch. [THUMP] That’s…

All I want
Sniglets (via mybluehouse) contains words for those little things in life that currently don’t have an official noun, verb or adjective attached to them. I’m especially glad to find that other people have a Negatile too, and are also aware of Telletiquette. Tee hee. In other news, I’m really, really, REALLY down and hacked off…

It's up to you
thelefrakwebsite. The wonder of the Internet. I have a friend who lived in New York. She used to work for Time magazine, and we shared an enjoyment of the Saw Doctors music. In the 4 or more years I’ve known her she’s been married, been made redundant, found a new job, visited Europe, and is…

Five
Friday Five (Belated – obviously) 1. What’s your favorite animal? Tiger probably. 2. What pets have you had in your lifetime? Numerous goldfish all destined to be flushed away, a hamster called Muffin, and I grew up with my golden retriever Sintra. My dog, a boy’s best friend. 3. Is there any specific pet that…

Grandpa
13 years ago The memory of my grandfathers death occasionally pervades my dreams. I hardly knew him. I knew an old man in a wheelchair after 4 strokes. Not the laughing centre of attention he was. I remember watching people stand at the side of the road looking at the funeral procession. I remember thinking…

Wrathific
Tee hee. Just off the phone to a customer services woman for my home insurance company. I received a letter from them telling me I’d missed a payment (via direct debit). So I phoned yesterday and obviously caught her in a bad mood (although I didn’t think so at the time). She was rude, talked…

Gets in your eyes
No Smoking Day (yesterday) and found this article via Hydragenic. As a non-smoker I’m always curious as to WHY people smoke. I’ve had friends in the past give it up for months on end, and watched them start again. The process usually follows these lines: *Drags on cigarette* Yeuch. These are disgusting, why did I…

Dietary
SXSW Interactive. Everyone seems to be having fun (check my links page, pick a link and go there, if they are at SXSW you will know all about it…). Which is good as I must admit it did slightly worry me, all those geeks away from their computers, interacting, socialising with other people. Could’ve been…

Linkeroo
fusion1k – only 460 peeps need (and falling). No I’m not quite sure how it’s gonna end up, no I’m not THAT artistic, and yes I’m a bit worried about what I will think of when my turn comes. But hey, ya got try these things, right? Apt Minds – could be interesting. via oddfellow…

Perception
I wonder. I imagine. I replay scenario’s and moments, trying to re-engineer past events. How many things would YOU do differently? Am I the joker in the pack? The philosopher? The quiet self-assured one? Or do I strive to be all three and more? What are people’s perceptions of me and why do they matter?…

Eclectic Five
Phew Blogger is back up, I can start posting…< It's official. I'm eclectic. It's always good to hear from you dear reader, and, just as I too have recently started to contact people I've 'met' through their blogs, I received an email from Stuart, just a quick hello, but that’s all it takes – hmmm…

Neutral Spirits
Creation Science. My brain hurts. Let me state my position on ‘this’. I remain unconvinced by most, if not all, religions. I don’t believe that the earth was creatured in 6 days (how long was a day back then anyway?), and there are too many conflicting arguments, and presumptions to be made for me to…

Habitually the Same
I’m in a rut. Not a bad one, or a particularly deep one, but it’s there and I’m aware of it’s sides and length and can’t seem to clamber up out of it. I’m in a ‘surfing’ rut. I have a list of 25 or so sites I visit every day (most tracked with Blogtrack)…

Historically Comic
Apologies for this but it’s the way my mind works (in other words, I have a terrible memory and I’ve only just remembered that I was gonna mention this). We caught a documentary at the weekend, one of a series about black comedy, which featured the life of Richard Pryor. I remember the first time…
