Today I got a mailing from Care for the Family which made me smile and wince in equal measure.
It made me smile because it put me in the “young category” being a thirty something who is still under the magical 35. Yet it also made me wince because yet again it put me in [...]

This is one of the funniest things I have read in a while.
My favourite bit is:

I could pretend I never look at the stats, but that would be untrue. I’m as interested as the next wiblogger in what strange googling has brought somebody here.

Went up to see the Kandinsky exhibition, The Path To Abstraction, at the Tate today with Rosamundi and some other people from SOF .
It was a very plesant day out and the exhibition was quite interesting, although I am not overly into Kandinsky’s work. There were a range of pictures that I enjoyed [...]

Third Party has installed something called Hotbar, which is basically a marketing tool onto my computer and I have neither the knowledge or will to remove it. I have learnt to become immune to what it says, but sitting here, thinking what to write I looked up and wondered what its current settings say about [...]

I’m currently reading JPod by Douglas Coupland and am struck by how unwierd this black comedy feels, despite it’s exaggerated storyline.
