all things me

There are days when you’d really need a CD player at work… (it’s allowed)

I may not be , but I’m a bit of a materialist when it comes to computers… Yesterday I heard a couple of boys talking on the train (sorry Kory, you have to see this twice )
– I just bought a new computer. It’s got 80 Gb hard drive <mumblemumble> and a 15 inch flat screen!
– Whooooah, I only got, like, 40 G!

I didn’t catch the gigahertzes or memory, but it can’t have been a lot with only 80 G! I felt like adding
– Njah njah, I got 200 Gb hard drive, 3.2 Ghz, and a 19 inch flat screen
but I didn’t. I know, my computer isn’t top notch by geeky standards, so that’s why I only brag about it in my blog where I can shut people up by saying this is my blog and this is my amazing computer.

Oh, and his name’s Sullivan. I’ve decided now. (, that is.)

Seen in awe at Mike’s. Let’s see how badly I’ll do…

I could never have believed I’d say this: I don’t like Robbie’s songs. The newest… songs?… he’s done are weird! Radio I can bear nowadays, but this newest one, Tripping, doesn’t do justice to his great voice at all. It’s that dude he’s been writing songs with, it’s ALL HIS FAULT!

It’s strange how often after I learn a new word, it very soon appears somewhere else and I think how lucky I am having learned that just recently. For instance, a couple of days ago I learned the word kludge and today in an email at work someone was writing about a kludge for a program that allows files to be saved in Word doc format.

The day before yesterday I stumbled across the words “axon” and “dendrite” — parts (?) of a synapse, and yesterday, those words were in the book I’m reading, IT.

Maybe I’ve seen the words lots of times before but only now notice them, but I’m not willing to believe that. I want to believe that these are very lucky coincidences.

Yes, it’s possible. There are people who don’t have a Gmail account. Well, at least there were.

Shadow pleaded so I thought ‘why not’. Cwazy Mail has been acting up lately, so I have started thinking it’d be nice to have an email from one of the bigger sites (not MSN!) which might be more reliable. Hopefully Cwazy will overcome the little glitches because I like the name (and I’ve given it out to all internet stuff like fanlistings and I wouldn’t want to go around updating the infos…)

So, now I have a Gmail account I’m not going to use it for this site though because here I have a proper domain email. But in places where people don’t need to know I have a homepage. Or just places it’s more likely to start receiving spam from.

Talking about spam

There are a few things I can’t get enough of. One is noodles and one is Robbie Williams. I just saw a documentary on Robbie and it got me wanting to listen to the CDs, once again. So I am. Listening. To the CDs. Once again. And enjoying it as much as ever.

Now I even have a cool Sound Effect program to make it sound like he’s singing right next to me.

What are you addicted to? (the legal stuff, that is — no gory details, please…) I know what Jafer’s going to say: Tim’s

I’m the webmistress of my aunt’s website (for a stable) and I’m currently updating the photo section. There was a new photo to add with their horse and a donkey — and an enormous pile of doo-doo.

Living the last day of my Photoshop trial I decided to use the Healing Brush Tool (don’t know if Adobe Elements has it, I hope so), so I wiped the pile (no pun intended) off the photo. I hope it’s ok with my aunt.

Quaint, isn’t it?

Ahhh… just what I needed — the flu. Well, what other can you expect from getting soaked on the way home from work on Friday and getting 80% soaked at and on the way home from an open-air concert on Saturday. (But we got to see Poets of the Fall! They were “the next artist” after we had decided to leave after the next artist.)

Oh well, flu or no flu, I can’t be sick so I just won’t. *stands defiantly* Currently I’m sipping black currant fever/flu/sore throat medicine and writing ontology documentation. I should probably ask tomorrow whether I’m still full-time at work… A day off might just be what I need.

List five songs that you are currently ‘digging’. It doesn’t matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good. But they must be songs you’re really enjoying right now. Post these instructions in your ‘blog’ along with your five songs. Then tag five other ‘people’ to see what they’re listening to.

1. Feel by Robbie Williams
2. Shallow by Poets of the Fall
3. Illusion and Dream by Poets of the Fall
4. This Love by Maroon 5
5. Irish Son by Brian McFadden
