Remember way back when Harry Potter 7 was released, MrPloppy, lytteltonwitch and I went down to Dunedin for the Regent booksale, and decided to dress up and stand in the queue on Saturday morning? And remember I promised photos? Well, here they are: Left to right: Lytteltonwitch, MrPloppy, and me A closer view of MrPloppy’s…
I hadn’t actually planned to take leave this week, but I actually looked at my pay slip last week, and suddenly noticed that my accrued leave was getting to the point where our HR department would start harassing me to use some of it up. And then I looked at my diary and realised that…
The tired part is entirely self-inflicted. MrPloppy managed to get a game running over the network, so of course we had to test it out properly, and ended up playing way past what should have been my bedtime… The grumpy part is probably partly due to the tired part, but it’s also because I’ve just…
I went to a really interesting seminar yesterday, about the way we use stories in our lives. What the speaker pointed out was that when we (especially women, according to her, but I can see how this applies to men as well, though sometimes in different ways) talk to our friends, a lot of what…

Went to the movies last night, for the first time in ages. Lytteltonwitch had won a couple of free tickets, so she suggested MrPloppy and I could go with her, and just pay for the one extra ticket. So last night we went and saw the latest Harry Potter. I wasn’t as impressed by it…
I definitely like this wireless concept. You can stay in bed half the morning and yet still feel productive because you’ve finally caught up with reading some of your friends’ diaries 🙂 (so if any of you suddenly appear on the Top 10 list, you’ll know why – it’s because I’ve read a couple of…
