Well it’s the 6th of the 6th of 06 here in NZ, and so far the world doesn’t seem to have ended. It was a bit cold this morning, does that count? 😉

It’s a long weekend here in FutureCat land, and theoretically I was going to spend the weekend studying hard for my Spanish oral on Friday. Theoretically. Of course, temptation got in the way of good intentions, so I spent most of Saturday reading, cross-stitching, playing Oblivion, and generally doing anything but study. I did spend…

This year seems to be disappearing faster than I’ve got time to draw breath. I can’t figure out where it’s all gone. At this rate it’ll be Christmas before we know it. Maybe it’s because I’m having such a busy year that it’s going so fast – between work, study, bookcrossing, and my union involvement,…

I caught a bookcrossing book in the wild today! Now that might not seem very exciting, seeing as I am a bookcrosser, after all, and am over-run by bookcrossing books. But catching one in the wild is a very different matter to just picking one up at a meetup. In over three years as a…

Another thing I haven’t had time to do a lot of lately is cross-stitch. So last night while we were catching up on watching some of the many things we’ve videoed over the last couple of months but never found time to watch, I made a start on the third tree (or eskimo) of my…

It’s been a long week, made even longer by the fact that I had to stay late for one of those work social functions that aren’t compulsory, but somehow are almost impossible to get out of. But that’s ok, I’ve got the art down to a tee of staying the minimum amount of time to…

Yep, the spam headers just continue to get weirder… (and they’re just the ones that actually make it through the spam filter). I keep having all these good intentions of writing in my diary more consistently, but life just keeps getting busier (I was “volunteered” onto another committee today – it’s something I really want…

Spam is getting weirder. I assume the strange (and apparently randomly generated) subject lines are an attempt to bypass spam filters, but would anyone really want to open an email sent to them with the subject line “Your future, wilt disease”??? Anyway, as planned, we (lytteltonwitch, awhina and I) spent the weekend in Dunedin for…

Ok, here goes again. Hopefully this time I’ll manage to hit the right keys and not send this entry off into the ether somewhere. MrPloppy and I went down to Timaru with lytteltonwitch on Saturday for a meetup with the Timaru bookcrossers (well, Timaru bookcrosser – The-Organist is the only active bookcrosser in Timaru at…

I just spent half an hour writing a long and interesting entry, and somehow when I was just a few sentences away from finishing it, managed to accidentally hit some key combination equivalent to the Back button which wiped it all! Not fair!!!! Once I have regained my composure I will attempt to recreate my…
