Oh please

I just had extremely delicious salmon bagels. Bagels and smoked salmon from Tesco (yuck. actually, they were yum, but Tesco, unlike Asda, is evil), and the amazing Labeyrie dill sauce, especially imported from Luxembourg.

I thought my mum had died earlier cuz she didn’t answer her phone but turns out she just didn’t hear the mobile. 8-| But all is fine and she’s coming tomorrow and we’ll be off to rainy (sigh) Cornwall.

Because I have nothing else to say I will recommend a few fun things to check out… actually it’s mostly on my Twitter so you can read it there. And then if you’re still bored check out last week’s B3ta newsletter which has a lot of great stuff. The Internet still hold so much wonderment!

And now I’ll be off to respond to some Facebook messages (yeah, I know) and then to bed! To bed! Ahoy! *lol*

Another one of these…

I think I have finally reached the “I’ve had enough of these daily updates” point. But of course I will keep going for another two weeks, whingeing copiously all the way. More »

iSaiah!

That is the name of the newest addition to my ever growing family of iPhones. Well, minus the one Thomas cruelly took apart (admittedly after I dropped it in the sea). iShmael is still in our thoughts. Remaining are iGor, iSmail and now iSaiah. The iPhone 5, when it comes out, will be called iSaac. Then I have to stop buying iPhones cuz I’ll be out of fun iNames.

Aaand I think that brings me to the end of this broadcast, I mean entry, cuz I have nothing else to say. Soon bedtime, tho I think I have to try FaceTime with Alisdair again before that. So he can show me his cute little Jasperkitty!

Another page turned

Oh thank God, I am finally back on my own lovely computer, with my own lovely keyboard, and everything else I am used to. More »

Duplicate

I don’t really have to update since I wrote twice last night and one of them was after midnight. Tho this one will be posted after midnight too so maybe it should be tomorrow’s update. More »

Trying again… the Placebo entry

Right, so I found out that the dictation app works, so I can sort of recreate my entry without too much typing. It was a great entry, I was talking about my trip and the foire and lots of other things. More »

Oh you are kidding me

I spent all day writing a super-long entry, updating whenever I had the chance… and then the stupid WordPress app lost it!!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe it!! *sob* It was interesting too! (obviously I’d say that now)

So now I’m pissed off and will only say that Placebo were amazing, the foire aux vins in general was cute, and, well, that’s it. Hmph.

Luxupdate

Predictably short. too tired & headachy to make it to my mum’s laptop, so this is an iPhone update and iPhone updates are hard-going.

I am in my old bed in Luxembourg. my childhood bed, tho strictly speaking it’s more like my late teen bed. this WordPress app doesn’t deem it necessary to capitalise words after a full stop, and I am too lazy to manually correct it each time. gives the entry character.

I had a nice dinner at a Thai restaurant with my mum and my friend Caro. can’t complain there. could complain about a lot of other things tho!

I’ve found some fun clothes I didn’t know I had. my suitcase may not be big enough for all the stuff I wanna take back to Brighton. I’d love to take my Harry Potter books too, but they’re so so heavy.

anyway. colmar tomorrow. and placebo. wow, can’t believe it’s only a day to go now, seems unreal. am not currently excited, but that may be due to my extreme exhaustion. tomorrow I will be fit (& non-headachy! please??) and will have a smashing time! I’m sure of it. goodnight!

Kindly requesting an exception

Well, I’m posting, so it isn’t really an exception, I’m just cheating again.

I’m feeling really shit and have been all day and I need to go and sleep now and hopefully tomorrow I’ll be more… able. I think I’m allergic to life. My job especially.

Just popping in

I need to get back to my book. I still have that half-written text somewhere, but I’ve already started hating it, so it’s looking less likely you’ll ever get to see it. I’m on the third Jasper Fforde book now, the best of all in my opinion, The Well of Lost Plots. I absolutely cannot recommend this book enough, tho it really is best to start with the first in the Thursday Next series, The Eyre Affair. Then the second, then Well of Lost Plots, then there’s two more which I expect I will read next, and then unfortunately it ends, but there’s other Ffordes in a similar spirit, tho sadly no Thursday Next.

I got my Amazon book order today, which also contains a Fforde, but I won’t tackle that until I’m re-done with Thursday. Books are great. Reading is great. I haven’t done nearly enough reading recently, so am very pleased I seem to be getting into it again. Tho of course this interferes with my BEDA – reading and writing, can’t give both my full attention. I’m still pretty good at sleeping tho. Reading and sleeping are easily combined. Read a book, fall asleep. Wake up, keep reading.

I got woken up by a policeman earlier. He wanted to know if I knew someone from the area of Turkish or North-African origin. Since I was still half in lala-land I didn’t ask (or care) what it was about, tho thinking about it, it all seems a bit odd. What if I had known someone who fit that description? And how far do you stretch it? I know someone of half-Persian origin who could certainly be mistaken for Turkish or North-African depending on the circumstances, should I have mentioned that? Or only if I suspected him of a crime? But maybe they weren’t interested in crime at all? Maybe they were just curious? But he seemed to just be going through the motions anyway, not genuinely interested.

I’m talking nonsense, I should go. Only one more update before I’m off to Luxembourg, not sure how updating will go from there since I’ll have to steal my mum’s computer for that. Well, and I’ll be in France and Internet-less on Friday… tho I guess I can incur some roaming charges for the sake of BEDA continuity. Should be worth it for excited Brian-gushing. Aah Brian my love, it has been far too long…

PS. Thanks to the latest iPhone sync, my Top 3 artists of the last 7 days are now Lady Gaga (73), Eminem (17) and Pink (12). I think that’s not correct tho cuz Eminem and Pink were on our trip to Oxfordshire, which was more than a week ago, but counts as more recent because synced more recently.
