Coffee Helps Me Sleep?

It’s not what you think.
I’m not one of those weird-arse people who fall asleep after drinking coffee. Nope. Nevertheless, I’m sitting up in bed at 1:30am, sipping a cup of coffee, and hoping it helps me get to sleep.
See, I have a cough/cold combo atm that’s caused me some pain. Sore throat, snot galore, the [...]

And I Just Clicked

My mother always used to claim, in her more humorous moments, that she was Martian by birth. Strangely, I never did find that too hard to believe. She’s quirky, off-beat, and she has this weird finger that doesn’t match any of her others. Weird. And looking at photos of her as a kid – CRIPES [...]

Musical Monday – Cricketing Songs

I hate cricket.
Well, not hate it.
I give it lots of elbow room, and I expect the same. In other words, I’m happy to flick over and see the scores during ad breaks. Even watch a few minutes before finding more exciting ways to melt my brain into mush.
However…
It has given us some beaut songs.
Howzat! [...]

Running Away to Join the Amish

… it’s the fond dream of an over-stressed IT person.
Or maybe this, my theme song for today:

GAH

Sometimes having an active imagination isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Like now. I’m awake at a ridiculous hour of the night because some dumbarse critter was making too much noise in my bedroom, AND I have periodic period pains so nasty they’d make a nun swear.
Anyhow, at this time of the night, my [...]

Musical Monday: Stalker Songs

I thought I’d do something a little different today.
A tribute.
To the scariest sort of love song…
The Stalker Song.
Enjoy!
Or not.
Blondie – The Tide is High
Damn, this is scary! *shudder*

Blondie – One Way Or Another
What IS it with Debbie Harry?
But I couldn’t deal with another dodgy clip, so I found the [...]

I Died, and All I Got Was This Lousy Level

I spent most of yesterday playing Munchkin. It’s a card game using custom cards which is… well… a bit like an old-fashioned RPG without having to remember stuff, write stuff down, or take anything seriously.
I played with Bogan Boy, Hubby, and a friend I made on the bus who decided to make the relationship more [...]

Wahhhhhh…

I feel like crap.
Last night I dragged myself home, literally fell into bed, and went to sleep at 7pm or something. And I woke up this morning, 11 hours later, and I still feel like crap. GREAT. Way to go in getting important product release happening in a week and a half at work. Sigh.
Life [...]

*droooool*

I just came across this by accident:
Writers’ Workshop with Bryce Courtenay
*sigh*
Oh, for the money and time to attend… *sniff*

Huh? What’s Weird About That?

I bleached and dyed my hair on Monday night. The same colour I’d had in for a couple of weeks, only with most of the brown regrowth no longer showing and the old faded colours on top of which it had been applied – purple and red – stripped completely out.
So I’m wandering off to [...]
