And young ones, shouldn’t be afwaid! I picked up the double boxed complete special edition luvverly jubbly Young Ones DVD set yesterday. I’ve been pondering it for a long while as the VHS copies we taped off the telly were worn out and tossed out years ago, but the price has choked me some. Finding [...]

A History of PCOS by Me – aged 31.
Yesterday as I staggered around Borders wishing for early death (not to be overly dramatical) I told The Boyfriend I’d picked up the PCOS Diet Book and Managing PCOS for Dummies. He said surely I could write a Dummies guide to PCOS by now, having immersed myself in it for so long.
Apparently not! Quite apart [...]
Frente Party
I was at JBHiFi yesterday hunting around for stuffs to accidentally spend too much money on, and I found “Marvin The Album” by Frente on sale for $5. The second I saw it, I had to have it. My only copy is one Debbie dubbed for me in high school back when we had mixTAPES [...]
The Great Pretender
One of the issues with PCOS, in my case anyways (I can no more speak for the entire PCOS community than I can speak for all brunettes) is that it is a defeminiser. I don’t know if that’s even a word, but I’m sure you get my drift. I grapple, often, with the concept of [...]
The Librarians
Series Two of “The Librarians” started last night, and frankly I am a little bit in love all over again.I’m aware there’s a lot of grumbling in the Library Industry about how it’s “unrealistic” and “They’d never get away with that sort of thing” but please, people, it’s a sitcom.

The underlying cause of PCOS is insulin resistance, which means that the body doesn’t understand insulin [...]
What happened to my Second Life?
When I started Second Life back in 2004, it was a small unstable 3d world populated by people with diverse interests and skills. Now, in 2009 it’s a large unstable 3d world populated by people with diverse interests and skills, but it also bores me to snores. For a long time I would spend easily [...]
Cell Phone Tango
I know a lot of people have raised this, but it shits me off too, so I’m raising it also. Before mobile phones became so vital to our lives, if you were having a conversation with someone on the street and someone else you knew came up to say hello, you would include them in [...]
Hello Indeed.
Did you ever get the urge to just start over? I have, many times, and at least online it’s a simple process of walking away. In the past, I’ve not had a ton of luck with that, slipping back to the old blogs almost as soon as I leave them, not wanting to lose the [...]
