The spam subject lines just keep getting weirder. It’s strange – for weeks all I get are the usual viagra (misspelt in every conceivable way) and “earn $$$ in your free time” spam, and then suddenly there’ll be a spate of strange subject lines for a few days. At least it gives me some amusement…
Yes, it’s the return of the weird spam headers! I’ve had a pretty non sort of week since I last posted here (which is why it’s been a week since I last posted here…). I spent most of last week paying for the fact that I’d had a day off work by trying frantically to…
Well, Friday’s sale went spectacularly well, and I managed to cope ok with the new money. I was seriously exhausted by the end of the day, though – I’d forgotten just how tiring working in retail is – all that endless smiling and being nice to people, not to mention the wear and tear on…
Second Tuesday of the month meetup tonight, attended by the usual suspects (me, lytteltonwitch, awhina and meerkitten), plus MrPloppy (who’s more of an unusual suspect ;-)). For a change I managed not to come home with any books (I’ve really got to start reading some of Mt TBR before it topples over and kills someone),…
Just when I thought I’d seen every possible weirdness that DD could throw up, now all my entry titles have disappeared, to be replaced by something like “Test 1287182”.

Written 9.26 am, Tuesday 1 August 2006, to be uploaded whenever I get a chance… Why is it the moment DD goes down I have an uncontrollable urge to write a diary entry? It’s not even as if I have anything particularly interesting to report (except that evienz caught one of my books from the…
Yayy!!! I can write diary entries again!!! I don’t think they’ve quite fixed everything yet, though, because I just tried to change my index text (because I use my index to store my list of books I’ve read, and I wanted to add a couple I’ve finished over the last couple of days) and the…
Yesterday was Christchurch’s 150th birthday, celebrating the anniversary of the day when it was declared to be a city (it was only a tiny village at the time, but Queen Victoria wanted to appoint someone bishop, and to have a bishop you need a cathedral, and cathedrals can only be built in cities. So she…
