July 2004

I’ve had the best of bestest times. Met some great people, done some great things, got pictures and diary entries to prove it and will have riotous amounts of fun telling you all about it. Are you ready?

And so, here I am again, bags packed and ready, save for those last minute additions, to journey off into uncharted territory and have my summer adventure. For the next fourteen days, I will not be writing in these pages…

Today I booked a taxi, not just to get into Oxford to catch the airport bus, but all the way from Bicester to Heathrow. At the time in the morning I have to leave on Sunday there is no other…

…I’m already concerned when one of my friends disappears. It’s probably something to do with this, and Heather’s retreat from Livejournal but I can’t help but feel sad that we are no longer *mutual friends* in these pages, especially after…

What’s more nevers and sitonmykarma might, just might, be able to help me. Apparently there is an artist living somewhere in Brooklyn, New York who has a dog called Tilly who has been eclipsing his own work. The dog apparently…

Jó estét! After my excitement the other day that the Hungarian for cheese was sjat, I’ve now come across the Hungarian for a newspaper. All together now… újság pronounced: oo-shaag (that would be a tabloid then would it?!!) Viszlát!

Yesterday we had a virus rampant on the computer networks at work. Apparently it had been sitting dorment for a couple of months before attacking and shuttting down all the Windows 2000 computers (the older bulky machines are Win2K rather…

…so because I want to post something but I don’t want to post whiny-moans, here’s a meme I knabbed from nevers Go to my userinfo page if you need to for this one. Pick someone on my friends list that…

It’s funny, but I seem to be able to talk with people here on livejournal, and with those people via email and IM – people that I’ve never actually met in real life, whereas I find myself unable to talk…

…I finally gain access to my computer again. We had a power cut at work this morning. There I was busily running through the files for the latest issue of the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, when suddenly, the…

I have just watched the season two episode, Sex, She Wrote in which bad girl Abby Morgan interferes with the private matters of our six heroes for her own sadistic pleasure (and the completion of an English project to come…

nevers will no doubt be pleased to hear that I have made the mix cd, and burned if onto disk. All that remains, is for me to finish (okay, do) the coverart for Soundtrack to Saaremaa, and it can be…

A post, in which I tell of being contacted by someone from Poland who has discovered my liking of Estonian pop act Vanilla Ninja, and seems to want my help in making them more popular in the UK… From: Charles…

I’ve just learnt the Hungarian for ‘cheese’… It’s sajt (pronounced: shite)

I’m listening to Vanilla Ninja’s new album, and you know what, it’s good. Not bad for a band that I discovered on the front cover of the airport magazine in Tallinn last year, and bought their first album blind off…

I’ve just been told. My application wasn’t successful. Not that I’m really surprised, I had already worked (before they said) that I was up against some very strong competition. However, apparently I do have some very strong technical skills (thanks,…
