Freakcity

Well, he is so very pretty Once every few months, someone just has to prove me wrong.

Scott Hope (Fab Filippo’s character inBtVS ) isn’t the one who wanted to become a vampire because he was dying ...

A tree. But not the one they wrapped the car around. Somehow, in all of this bloggingness, I completely failed to mention that Mojen had a car crash over the weekend. She’s ok, but a bit battered and bruised an...

Grrr In other news, Alan and I caught /QAF US/ on E4 last night. I was a little disturbed at my sequence of events (over the space of 30 seconds or so): "O...

A Toyota Avensis. Sans urine. Ok, so it would appear I forgot to mention it here (having been pissed when I blogged about it), but one of the more curious parts of Saturday evening was that I can remember quite p...

My head hurts. RobG’s head hurts. Admcg's scarf seems to have his stomach lining on it.

Des has gone out to buy lard. Phood sooon 😊

Oops, I appear to be pissed and stoned again. RobG’s voddie night at Revolution. Very good fun. Lots of lovely voddie — cherry Bakewell being my favorite — and Russ was there too, so we all groped him somewhat.

He’s aBIG boy!

Then off to Match, on Margaret St, W1. Very nice. They do a "Bram...

But wow, nonetheless! Guess who forgot that the IMDb’s images are cleverer than that.

Wow! Sleepy, hungry Owen, trying to remember how to get here from the M25.

*interrupted by boyfriend wanting to use PC*

Ok, I’ll try that again. Not quite so sleepy and with a bacon sandwi...

How to do title tags accessibly (and, Scott, FreakCity would so not pass on that test ;))

Good blog post at masl.to/?W1972295A . It’s by the maker of Fangs (possibly one of the coolest things ever: www.standards-schmandards.com/fangs) and explains about separating bits of a tit...

Interesting link just went round the office. Are you in my Monkeysphere?

*reads further*

And it’sREALLY funny. For some reason, my inner monolog has Lee (EnglishImpatient) reading it to me. 😊

Not a massively interesting day. I hate it when I’m not in the middle of a large project. Today has mainly been spent reading stuff — useful, work-related stuff (like WCAG 2,0, for example), but hardly scintillating, nonetheless — and dealing with minor issues here and there (like the reluctance of ...

The lastAnatomy for Beginners was on tonight, too (missedER during the Core Board meeting). I never realised that bladders contain so little (about 400mL, apparently) or that the uterus was quite so small. And it really does seem that ova just fly through empty space into the fallopian tubes. ...

NO2ID Core Board meeting went well, though I’m frankly astonished to discover that apparently half the fringe-left (of which I would consider myself proudly a member) seems to think we’re a front for the SWP!

A front for the SWP?! They’ve obviously never read any of my posts to The List back when...

This Linkin Parkvs Jay-Z MTV Mash-Up thing is great. Numb / Encore is my new favorite track. Expect to see a lot of it on the office’s Audioscrobbler soon. If the “enhanced CD” will let me rip it. And Chester Bennington really is deeply sexy.

Goodness, osteopathy’s wonderful — who knew? Had some electotherapy to loosen up my lower thoracic / upper lumbar back. Then massage, massage, crack, crack, crack. And I feelSO much better for it. Really nice bloke, too, very friendly. Another appointment at 9am, Monday.

Working from home is m...

Just Say No. So glad I’m working from home tomorrow and seeing the osteopath. Came home early from Retro, cos I wasn’t really in the mood and was rather tired (despite there being cool people there I’d not seen in ...

Scott's accidentally Jimmed a rather personal mail to The List. Oops.

Very floaty day. Got some more Unilever done; some of the other bits of the project are working well enough for me to be able to check some of my earlier work, so I’ve mostly been making formatting tweaks.

I appea...

I’d forgotten how much I quite like Kristian Leontiou (and quite how pretty he is, but that comes across less easily in MP3).

But it allows me to segue over to AudioScrobbler (www.audioscrobbler.com) quite easily. Just set it up at work on our jukebox machine, so you can see how awful everyone el...

How does James do it, dammit? Back not hurting too much. Got to work late again (shocker). Helped RobG with more C#-ness, looked at a bug on AD, got confused about some thing we’re doing for where Scott ...

My back hurts. A lot. It started hurting just before I left the office and is agonising when I move in certain directions, but is tolerable if I stand up without twisting round any or when I sit up straight (so this is the best posture I’ve ever had at a keyboard, believe me!). Finally, it has spurr...

How would Smess know?! I want a cigarette 😞

Does it show that I finished my course of patches last week? I’m thinking of going back to step three for another week’s worth, but wearing each patch for two days...

After an All Staff mail went around, reading “Owen running late. Frozen door.”, at least one reply made me smile.

If anyone else has trouble opening a stuck door (which I didn’t, I just couldn’t get the earling thing locked again, but even so), then take a look at the nicely retroanimated GIF ...

It was for charity, right? Locks froze, took me 25 minutes to lock the front door. Combine that with feeling like shit, a shite District line and having to wait until 9am before being able to try to find somewhere i...

It was for charity, ok? I appear to have taken my clothes off for charity last night. I blame Snoboardr, obviously. But it raised £500,– for Shelter, apparently.

Twas a really good night, an...
