Overnight, London has been transformed into a winter wonderland. This is apparently the thickest snow in 18 years!
I was due to go into central London today for a work conference. That’s obviously not going to happen. Here’s what Transport for London’s list of Tube lines looks like:
The ENTIRE London bus network is also completely suspended; [...]
My husband is currently, shall we say, obsessed with the blues man Seasick Steve. He’s an American who has lived all over, including riding the rails like a hobo, and now resides in Norway with his wife. He looks like a proper country bumpkin and I don’t think has any front teeth. Nonetheless, he’s a [...]
I read this story today and couldn’t decide whether to laugh hysterically or feel rather indignant at this very stupid person’s utter lack of any sense of humour. You will recall I wrote quite a while ago how I found Andy Riley’s Bunny Suicides extremely funny. I actually cried with laughter at some of the [...]
Well, I have managed to pull myself away from my precious iPhone for a few minutes to tell you about our experience of eating as though we were blind on Friday night. As I mentioned in the iPhone post, it is easily summed up with one word: un-nerving.
Needless to say, not being able to see [...]
Today, after waiting months I finally got my most coveted item: the iPhone. I had been praying since I cancelled my contract with Orange Tuesday that my port code (port code allows me to keep my current number for anyone not tech-savvy) would arrive by today and I could get my phone. We were out [...]
Tonight I am going with my husband and his work colleagues to what is colloquially known as ‘the blind restaurant.’ It’s real name is Dans le Noir? and the concept is to eat as though you were blind. We will be led into a pitch black room for our meal, only able to get around [...]
I am currently obsessed with getting an iPhone. Look how pretty! My current mobile provider contract is up 6 January 2009. I only have a little over a month…unless between now and then I talk myself out of it. I highly doubt it, though, because I stop talking and listening and start drooling when an [...]
Ok, I really didn’t want to write about tripe like this but lack of anything else good for the past week or so and how much I really, really, really hate this name have caused me to come down off of my moral high horse about blog posts. I give you the official (my opinion) [...]
Well, gosh, what a week it’s been. America elected a black president and a Democrat to boot. I started a new job that, so far, I’m enjoying immensely. The question remains for me, though, and the thousands of other liberal bloggers (and satire shows such as The Daily Show): what do we do now?
Since this [...]
We went to the Natual History Museum yesterday. It was a lot of fun…except for the millions of screaming children and several unwashed adults. We saw an animatronic teenage (in size, not temperament) T-Rex, a big blue whale, experienced an earthquake and saw young Elvis. He’s alive and well and visiting the NHM. Seriously, this [...]
