I should probably get this written on a t-shirt given how often I say it. http://twitpic.com/2aavck
Convincing a 3-year-old to put his toys away; he laughed at my fart noises. I’m going to either be a bossy mother, or an embarrassing one.
AWAKE: wrong.
Much calmer, thanks to some 12-year-old Macallan.
Calmer.
Counting to 10. Or maybe 20. Fuck it: call it an even 1000 and perhaps I’ll have calmed down by then.
It’s really only a matter of minutes before I lose it on the ‘phone and call DHL a bunch of cunting fucknuts.
RT @antonvowl: Hold on. I’ve found a newspaper editor who’s more of a cunt than Dacre http://tinyurl.com/39cceuq
RT @sianberry: Argh, SO seconded! RT @garydunion #ff @clarebalding1 for taking no shit off AA Gill & his fucknasty of an editor http:// …
Off to see my friendly, neighbourhood sadist/waxer. If no word from me in next hour, send in reinforcement aloe vera. And some fit soldiers.
With that apostrophe error, I won’t bother to make an innuendo-laden pun. http://twitpic.com/29yg13
Marcus Bentley sitting amongst the housemates in #BB11 living room, talking on a microphone, whilst they ignore him. Hilarious - very meta.
OK, this made me cry - http://bit.ly/czj31i - but I can definitely see Pixar buying the rights to it.
Finder worked fine with email attachments in Safari; I assume my problems are down to a Firefox issue…
Ticketmaster-bator is an old joke, but I never tire of it given they are a bunch of rip-off wankers.
Argh, having probs with my Macbook Pro: when I try to attach a file to email, the Finder momentarily appears then *disappears*. Help!
Am using gmail and Firefox - suspect neither of those helping the issue… Thanks for suggestions all; rebooting now, will try ‘em.
Oh yeah, and if any 3G owners feel to vent to Apple over their iOS4-fucked phones, here you go: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
My ‘phone just rang and the ‘answer’ tab froze, which meant the caller was sent to my voicemail. Fuck you, Apple. Seriously.
Great video @gashead - and good to see you caught @ajhmurray doing a proper Nutty Boy dance: http://youtu.be/YXEdO3Qluas
Q: @dww84: @girlonetrack What are your favourite things to do when in NYC? A: Watching dudes like this on subway http://youtu.be/6ZyDgP22HgQ
iPhone 3G b0rked by iOS4 “upgrade”? Leave a comment on this WSJ article: looks like Apple will (finally!) investigate: http://bit.ly/bkAmhm
I still want a Marmite Martini though, but am taking the sensible option of a home-brewed, triple-shot, Americano instead.
Looking through my @ replies, it’s nice to know I wasn’t the only one talking drunken bollocks last night. You know who you are.
This is a first: a female hackers’ list which doesn’t rely on describing their physical attributes. About fucking time! http://bit.ly/9mIfZG
RT @LondonYank: @girlonetrack If that female hacker list were pure, it would have omitted pictures entirely and shown code snippets instead.
*expects no one will get that obscure reference*
Hooray! @OneOffDave @snarkavenger and @jodrell have all restored my faith in humanity (and nerds). For the rest of you: http://bit.ly/bykf6S
Obviously I’d be excluded from any such list, due to my (over)use of innuendo-laden puns.
Some days though, I think Asimov was right: if jokes were created by aliens, it’s unsurprising that humans are so bad at puns.
Maybe one day there’ll be a list of female sex bloggers based on the quality of their writing/humour, not their ‘hotness’. I can but dream.
RT @LondonYank: The whole “physical attributes” trend in tech articles is down to one publication: Wired. Almost a cliché. < Agreed. *sigh*
Trying to figure out if it’s possible to make a Marmite Martini.
It was delicious. http://twitpic.com/29irgk
Also, my highlights are growing out: my fringe is dark brown; the rest of my hair is dark blonde. WHAT HAVE I DONE?! (NO pictures, no way.)
Clearly the only sensible answer to my hair problem is an espresso martini. Yes.
I’m not sure it was such a good idea to cut my own fringe and especially not with a pair of nail scissors and my fingers as a guide. Oops.

RT @JonnyB: Today I bought a) a gas guzzler; b) a Tesco rotisserie chicken. Coming soon: I try the Daily Mail & switch to Internet Explorer.

RT @gordon: I may be late to this but OMG WIF TEH CUTENESS! http://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com < Baby pics that won’t make you puke, honest.
The builders next door are cutting tiles: the noise is setting my teeth on edge. Mostly though, it just makes me want to stab them.
True fact: the first record I ever purchased was Madness’ My Girl, in 1979. I still have the 7”.
Heads-up to any Madness fans: pre-sale for tour is open now: http://blog.madness.co.uk/?p=2093 (yay!)
Still buzzing* from last night’s gig. Wow. *Excitement, not illicit drugs.
Unbelievably AWESOME. http://twitpic.com/298noi
What an incredible @WarChildUK gig that was. Madness, @4PlanB, @Jason_Manford, @DeeringRob and @ajhmurray. Wow. Brilliant, just brilliant.
