There is a memememe floating around that goes:

What misconceptions have you had about me, that turned out not to be true?

What would you like to ask me about myself or my life?  I'd like to clear up any misconceptions and speculations that may be floating around.  Ask me anything you want, although I can't guarantee I'll answer.


Whilst I am rather curious to hear about misconceptions people may have held of me I have absolutely no intention whatsoever of clearing up any current misconceptions and speculations that may be floating around. Personally I rather enjoy the occaisions when I found out that someone believes something strange/unusual/awful/ridiculous about me.

In other news I have a very happy child bouncing around behind me playing on the copy of Mariokart that he got for his birthday :-)

Not as good as I expected.

It was in fact far, far better than I had hoped that it would be.

Seeing it at the imax also helped :-)

So, all buses are suspended, a lot of the underground isn't running and overland trains are a bit of a mess. Getting into work is going to be interesting.

Update: Well, it turns out that I can't get into work. All the stations near me are closed. I just texted my boss and it turns out he is also incapable of getting in. I think I may just take today off.

Further update: Have been told to take the day off by my boss. I'm going back to bed and then snowmen and suchlike later :-)

Time for another entry in an occasional series called "Zeke digs out old albums".

I'm currently listening to the Stone Roses album by the Stone Roses (to be precise I'm listening to [info]hooverpig CD of it as I still only own this as a taped copy that I've had since I was 14).

I've not listened to this album properly in years and I'm thinking that this was a rather big mistake. This was one of the earliest albums that I really fell in love with and it is still just as wonderful as it was all those years ago. In particular Bye Bye Badman is just amazingly cheerful and upbeat whilst at the same time being nasty in a glorious way. So go on, dig it out and give it a listen :-)

Also, this is clearly the Call of Cthulhu.

On a completely unrelated note I have just heard a song called To Lose My Life  by White Lies on the radio. I thought it was really rather good. Ok, this post is blatantly only here to remind me of the name of the song :-)

After meaning to see it for years I finally got around to watching Shadow of the Vampire. I can happily report that it is a really wonderful little film with a splendidly deranged performance form Willem Dafoe. Definitely worth a watch.

Still in hospital. Horrific nightmares, lack of sleep and the truly impressive fever i had this morning combined to make it clear that the medical staff were trying to kill me. Bad brain.

Have just finished another dose of iv antibiotics and am feeling slightly better. Looks likely that i will be in for another couple of days.

Thankyou for that useful contribution subconsciousnes.

BBC News says: Firefighters tackle major blaze at London's Camden market. More soon.

Sky News says: 20 fire vehicles and 100 firefighters are attempting to tackle the blaze on Chalk Farm Road, which is believed to have started at around7.20 pm on the north side of the market.

Eek.

All comments are screened and will remain so.
Anonymous is on if you want to make use of it.
Tell me what you thought of me this year, what I did that was good and what was bad.
Things you are happy about and things you are unhappy about, and why.
Perhaps recall a memorable occasion or remind me of something I shouldn't forget.

Once I have enough stuff, I'll collate the comments into a 'peer review',keeping all content anonymous, so you can see what you all think of me.
I'll try and keep the bad as much as the good in there, but if anyone says anything too personal or mean or any secrets, I reserve the right to edit.


Pinched from [info]bluehelen

Time spent in Oxfnord was pretty good apart from the bits involving my mother. Highlight would have to be eating huge and yummy burgers with [info]sebastian_lux :-)

But the thing that has made me happiest today was buying and starting to read Red Seas Under Red Skies.
