on blogging when I should be studying

I only went online to check my OU tutor forum, then for some reason ended up trying out a new theme for my photoblog. Lacking concentration and focus? Moi?

Well, anyway, the photos might not be too good but I think the design looks kinda funky. Be even better when I get more photos on there. Have a look if you’ve nothing better to do today – Simple Complexity.

on not blogging for ages but having quite good reasons for it

So, um, yeah. Where were we? As you can see, I have another new layout. This one appeared thanks to a bout of insomnia and amazingly I’m not tired of it yet. Also finally ditched the rubbish that was Dotable and got myself a new hosting company; so far, so good.

As some of you who follow my Twitter updates might have seen, I’d been pondering the idea of setting up a photoblog to get back into taking photos and to stop my camera gathering dust. So here it is – ta daaaa! – simplecomplexity.co.uk Only a couple of photos on there at the moment, but I kinda like ‘em.

The veggies I mentioned in a previous post are planted. Well, planted in the greenhouse, not ready for the veggie patch just yet. I saw a tiny little green shoot in one of the pots today – gawd knows what it was, but I got stupidly excited.

See? I have actually been doing stuff. Even managed to spend some decent time with D (including a day trip to the seaside, before the weather got crap again), which was nice because now we probably won’t see each other again until after Easter. Who needs contraception when you have shift work? Hey-ho.

How about you? What’s been happening. Tell me all.

Comic Con ’08

the hulkSo glad they moved the venue for the Con this year; nice to actually be able to see the guests (sneaked a peek at ‘Doc Brown’ – great scott!) and less chance of getting painfully up close and personal with whiffy soap dodgers in the queues.  So much more relaxed than last year too, with no pushing and shoving or crew members running around like lunatics. Long gone are the days when I thought it was perfectly fine to spend 25 quid on an autograph, so instead I wasted my hard earned cash on geek t-shirts.  And then I went and perved over Indy’s whip.

Oh, and check out this lot – they were brilliant.
