Perhaps perhaps perhaps

God this constant WP upgrading is getting on my tits. So I’m not doing it. *lol* More »

Elyse Sewell rocks!

I don’t think I have previously mentioned her on here, so let me do so now: her Livejournal is a really great read and you should give it a try.

(she’s a model currently working mainly in Asia – HK, China, Korea… she’s really smart and cool and adventurous and a little bit crazy and has a great writing style and comes up with fun stuff and… well just go and see for yourself. no really! [wiki])

A gif and a video

That gif is so friggin’ funny I could watch it for hours. =)) Ok and then I also have a new video tour of my flat. No, I never get tired of these, do you? Tough. *lol* More »

Isn’t it ironic? (another blast from the past – of sorts)

In December 2005 I wrote a pretty long letter to Charlie cuz he was in Canada and I was bored at work and stuff. In January 2006 I fell out with him (for the first time) so never sent the letter. In May 2006 we started talking again and I intended to give him the letter but couldn’t find it, so figured I’d probably thrown it out, and forgot about it. (incidentally I got a mail from Charlie the other day – only a short reply to a mail I’d sent him in a weak moment some months ago. I am bravely ignoring it. so far)

So anyway, today as I was going through my old posters I found the letter. This was from the last days I worked at IBM and there are some pretty funny passages, which I shall quote for your amusement as much as my own. BTW apparently during those days I mainly slept at work :)) (this was over the Xmas bank holidays so it must’ve been fairly quiet).

I was just on the phone to someone and he asked me to conference someone else in and I tried & didn’t manage (as usual… damn phones), so I said to Ann-Louise “how the fuck do you conference someone in on this thing?” – totally forgetting that I was back on the line with the original guy!! *rofl*
[…]
I just had a user on the phone… see some people seem to be getting the afternoon off… anyway after I was done with the call I went “God I thought they were all going home now?!” then heard “no we’re not!” & realised she was still on the bloody line!! LMAO I really should be more careful!

Indeed. *snigger* Those were the days at IBM.. and now I am one of the “users” and get phonecalls from Amex customers instead. And get paid less money for it. *lol* But also work less hours a week. 😀

Right, back to sorting out my flat now… maybe pics later of my “all done” bedroom and stuff. Ben’s also supposed to come round this weekend to check the rest of the stuff that needs doing. Not that long til the party now. :-n

My thanks to Adobe for Premiere Elements, to Xoom which no longer exists for the sound effects, and to Amex for, um, lending me the Post Its. 😀

Back from London

I’m being forced to update. So I went to see Mel this past weekend, Ellie was there too, and I went to see the China Design Now exhibition, and enjoy the sun, and buy lots of stuff. It was very pleasant.

Arrived in London 1.15pm on Saturday, went to St James’ Park and lazed about in the sun until I was met by a Mel. We wandered around, got food, ate, were joined by an Ellie. We wandered around some more and bought stuff, mostly at this cool make up store B which is short for “B never too busy to be beautiful” (no really!). All their products start with the letter B too. I bought very cool eyeshadow and body tint up (not self-tanner, just some kinda foundation. is fun!). Ellie bought loooads of little eyeshadow/lip gloss things in cute little boxes and Mel complained about having no job, hence no money.

Can’t remember what else we did. Oh yeah went to the Apple store and I bought expensive earphones and expensive adapter for iPhone. And Mel went online cuz her PC at home is broken. And eventually we went back to Mel’s and watched TV and stuff. Oh aye and we had pizza and they had the wrong number so it never arrived so Mel called up and in the end we got it for free. Yay!

Sunday we went back into town, I went to the V&A and Ellie and Mel went God knows where. When I was done (it was very interesting) I walked across Hyde Park and along Oxford Street and bought some clothes… well really just one pair of trousers. And met Mellie again and we had a late lunch. And then Ellie left us and we went to Greenwich, where I had never been before, and which was very cute. I will show you some pics (I had forgotten to put my memory card in the camera again for a change so only had iPhone).

Hm actually I won’t cuz Flickr is being an arse. *grrr* And I need to go to bed soon. Yeah anyway after that we went home and watched Legally Blonde and slept and this morning Mel got up very early and me a little later, and then I came home.

Today I went into Brighton and bought loads more stuff, well one more pair of trousers – very nice and green!!! 😀 And flip flops exactly like the ones I got last year and liked a lot. And I finally braved the crowds in Primark again and got lots of ridiculously cheap tops, and a cool sunglasses “sleeve” I can use with my iPhone, and a hand towel which I will use as a bathroom mat.

The End. Oh and I’ve decided to try and be healthy again. 5 a day and all that. We’ll see how long it lasts…
