I should write a long chatty entry

Um yeah this has been here as a draft for a few days now. I’m not very good at this. I re-read very very old emails the other day, like from 2000 or something. Before I had a blog I had emails. I wrote loads of emails, hundreds a month and many were very very long. When I’m 80 – if I ever get that old – I can spend my days reading my emails from the early 2000s (noughties?). More »

Well now

Hmmm… click here if you want to give it a try. :))

Final Norway Update

So Mon was meant to update again for me but she didn’t get very far and now she’s absorbed in photography tutorials and other things DSLR-related. More »

Norway round trip pics!!!!

Massive Flickr photo set here. To get a proper chronological account, please view in order and read the descriptions (there are 80 items lol).

ROFLMAO

So, George Bush is addressing reporters in Beijing before the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. He looks out over the audience, glances at his prepared notes, and begins: “Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo.” An uncomfortable silence follows until an aide leans over and whispers in his ear: “Um, Mr. President, that’s the Olympics logo. Your speech is underneath.”

=)) =)) =)) So Jimmy doesn’t find it that funny but I can’t stop laughing.

An update from Norway by Mon(key)

Hello, this is Mon updating for Wam. We are in Norway. Today is Sunday, and Wam has been here since Friday night. Jimmy is also here with us. Wam and Jimmy are watching CSI: NY and I’m not. I, I am updating the blog. More »

Well not just yet, but all packed and stuff so the next update will be from Norway. 😀 Where there’s a Mon, a Jimmy and a little dog. 😀

Not much else to say – so I shan’t say much else! Cheerio!

Shitstorm in the Blogosphere

This is pretty funny just for being so damn ridiculous…

• Random blogger gets annoyed because a coffeeshop barista lectures him about his way of drinking coffee (iced espresso is bad mkay?) and blogs about it.
• Story (?) gets picked up by Metafilter and BoingBoing.
• Coffeeshop owner gets pissed off and writes open letter to blogger offering to kick him in the nuts.
• Consumerist posts about the whole affair as well. Oh and DCist too.

And most threads/blog posts with comments above are still going strong. :)) (except the murky coffee one cuz he won’t approve any the twit). As so many people have said all over said comments – “it’s only coffee” – but it’s very entertaining to see how people can get so passionate worked up about something so trivial.

(Incidentally I had coffee at the weekend cuz I had one of my caffeine headaches again and tho I still found it unpleasant, I didn’t think it quite so strongly repulsive as previously)

PS Oh and thanks to this I learnt what a ghetto latte is. :))
PPS From the later explanatory comment added by the coffeeshop dude:

Thanks for all the comments and emails (for the record, about 40% supportive, 20% critical, and about 40% ignorant and ridiculous… but that’s the nature of the sandbox that we blog in, no?).

*lmao* I’ll bet the “ignorant and ridiculous” comments weren’t supportive. :))

I just wrote to say…

… mainly that I have uploaded wedding photos so all you addicts they’re right here on ye olde Flickr.

I’d also like to share with you my excitement at finally having found a Hanging Harry at Cissy Mo so the sausages are no more.

Finally I wish to declare that I received a letter from my mum, but I shall not say any more about that. I will reply in due course. And that’s all.
