I remember at high school our principal giving us a talk in assembly one day about the dangers of ozone depletion. He predicted that within our lifetimes a day would come when we wouldn’t be able to go outside without protective clothing because the ultraviolet radiation would be so intense that we’d be burnt in…
I think I’ve mentioned before the kitten in a tutu I use as my avatar on most forums I visit? [album 128913 FutureCat.jpg] I originally found it in the default avatar set of a now-defunct forum, and assumed it must be public domain, so kept a copy and have used it ever since. I’ve wondered…
Did I say I never do these survey things? I must have lied 🙂 1. Initials:FC :-p 2. Name someone with the same birthday as you:I can’t think of anyone. But welshamethyst’s is the day after mine, I think. 3. Last thing you ate:A chocolate coated freeze-dried strawberry (one of the goodies Fuzzle sent us)….
I forgot to mention the other wonderful thing that happened yesterday: a parcel arrived from Fuzzle (Ming and Saffy’s previous owner, now living in the UK). In it were a few yummy things (like jaffa cakes, the main thing MrPloppy misses since moving here), and my birthday present (yes, my birthday was months ago, but…
I got a phone call tonight from sherlockfan, very excited about the parcel that she’d got this morning, so I can now reveal the secret of the hug box. Recently, while on holiday in France, sherlockfan had a fall which put her in hospital. Her holiday was cut short and she had to be medevacced…

I know they’re a total rip-off and a blatent attempt by Lucasfilm to extract even more money from fans, but I don’t care. I’ve finally got my copies of the theatrical release versions of episodes IV-VI. I’m a happy cat. Guess what I’ll be spending the rest of the weekend doing?
Saturday at last! And for once I’ve got no tests or essays due next week – so I can actually have a nice relaxing weekend without feeling like I really should be studying. Of course, the only reason we’ve got no assessment next week is because we had TWO tests this week – a short…
Second Tuesday of the month yesterday, so it was meetup night. Once again, it was just me, MrPloppy, lytteltonwitch, awhina and meerkitten. We used to get a really good turn out to meetups, but for most of this year it seems to have been just the same few people. Not that there’s anything wrong with…
About half an hour ago there was a loud bang and our building shook. I thought at first it was an earthquake, but it didn’t feel like the right sort of shaking. My boss was just coming out of his office on his way home, and we discussed what it could be – the obvious…
