  • Crime

    Apparently we had a rather disturbing incident in the night… Alex’s cute little red car got broken into! It was right there in front of the house, and somebody completely bent back part of the door to get in! They didn’t take anything though. Bunch o’ animals in this city, I tell you.

  • Scratched CDs

    In college we always swore by the toothpaste method.

  • Ronnie Biggs

    I don’t know about “inhuman punishment”, but I think it’s ridiculous that a convicted train robber can escape from prison, flee the country, live high on the hog in Brazil for almost forty years, and then return to England penniless on his deathbed to reap the benefits of better health care. It seems pointless to put a 70-year-old man in jail again, but it also seems pretty fair.

  • Election

    It looks like I’m actually going to be in Britain for a national election. I can’t vote of course, but I do enjoy making fun of William Hague. I’m looking forward to it.

  • Blogger

    Well, Blogger seems to be down yet again (for routine maintenance). I’ll take this opportunity to note that I myself am currently working on a PHP/MySQL solution to rid myself of the Blogger shackles forever. We’re getting there folks, but I probably won’t be able to do the bulk of the coding til this weekend. Once it’s up, I’ll share my discoveries with the rest of you…

  • Congrats Amy!

    I am the worst, most horrible sister in the world for not mentioning this sooner, but my little sis Amy graduated from college Sunday. Congratulations, Amer! It’s all downhill from here, kiddo. Love you…

    (And YES, I did call her and tell her that in person on Sunday. I was not deluded enough to think she’d just read it on my blog. What kind of a crass, attention-seeking exhibitionist do you think I am? I only mentioned it so you could send her your own salutations. *grin*)

  • Meh

    Mucho apologies for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been feeling pretty crummy all weekend and I stayed home from work today. I’ll be back in the blogging swing of things tomorrow…

  • Custom 404 pages

    In case you’re interested, I finally wrote up an explanation of my custom 404 pages. You might want to think about implementing it of you’ve used any of my other systems.

  • Scary

    Meg pointed out that you can now print out your own Anne Robinson mask. Very scary indeed. This reminded me that I saw a promo for the U.S. “Weakest Link” on BBC last night. They’re actually going to show the American version over here so all the Brits can laugh at how stupid we are. I’m telling you, this show has a very dodgy agenda and it has everything to do with enforcing cultural stereotypes.
