Shoes as an aid to procrastination.

I currently have a ‘to-do’ list that looks like it might take about two years to get through – so I took the best course of action and did a bit of fantasy online window shopping.  Some time back I’d seen a pair of Christian Loubontin ‘Peep Dorsay’ shoes that I had taken quite a [...]

Go Fug Yourself — now!

You’ve just got to get over to Go Fug Yourself and have a look at their Freaky Fug Friday: The Pussycat Dolls post. Totally spot-on — especially their Babybel cheese observation. Those Fugly girls just get better and better.

Stitchy McYarnpants is up for a Webby!

It’s true, Stitchy McYarnpants from The Museum of Kitschy Stitches has been nominated for a Webby. Remember her Christmas Craptacular? You must, because I wrote about it here ages ago and I know you hang on to my every word.
I’ve just voted for her on the People’s Voice  site AND I left a comment on Stitchy’s [...]

The Million Dollar Homepage — why didn’t we think of that?

For some reason I decided to pay my first ever visit to Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Homepage today. The home page is now filled, of course, and made Alex a fair few quid. I haven’t checked out just how beneficial it was to the page’s advertisers but I do like the ‘own a piece of [...]

I’ve been so busy trying to set up my new damn router that I missed the fact that this blog has been around a whole year now. Which is no big deal to anybody but me.  In fact, when I think about it, it’s no big deal to me either. But I enjoy writing here, so [...]

Best Blogs: DrWhose is at it again!

I’m supposed to be going out in about two seconds but I’m dropping (practically) everything to point you to the Hat’s Off post by Mark Freeland at DrWhose. It has been said (by me) that I’m obsessed by DrWhose and I’m not even denying it.

Best blogs: little. yellow. different

I had a few anxious moments a while back, when I thought the lovely Ernie at little. yellow. different. was going to quit his blog – but it was just one of his ‘periodic breaks’ so I’ve  been able to put off crying a river for a while yet. Ernie should never be allowed to quit, in [...]

Leaving comments on blogs

I wrote a while back that I’m somehow reluctant to leave comments on other people’s blogs. I don’t really know why this is, because usually I’m not backward in coming forward, if you get what I mean.  It’s pretty annoying, because I really want to respond to what people are writing on their blogs but [...]

Do I look bothered?

   …that we are in the middle of designing our own brand of geek t-shirts and that we’ve just found out our wonderful and original ideas for slogans are old news, as they’re already alive and kicking on the Think Geek website. That whole hour we used up on a brainstorming session was near enough wasted and the [...]
