I am addicted to crystallised ginger and I don't care!

While I was waiting on the bus stop (for a bus that was exceedingly late), a middle-aged Iranian bloke started talking to me (he was bored as he had been waiting a long time - by the time the bus arrived he had been waiting an hour). It turned out that he was interested in...

Greeting one and all. How it going?

Lately I have been reading a book about Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) as applied to Microsoft Excel.

I use Excel a lot in my job. In fact one of the main reasons I have my job (and one of the main reasons I was hired for my previous job) is that I am good with Excel. Very...

Oh, it's not a question of my not having tried it. There is no way I could summon up that much articulation on the subject, is all. You should write a technical manual.

Finally got desks. Still no board.

Woo-hoo. I see the new site is live!

So hows it all going everyone? What have you all been up to? Things are ok with me.

I have recently read The Da Vinci Code. The book was lots of fun to read but the thing about conspiracy theories is that there are so many of them to choose from that really I just dont know...

Last week just as I was getting in the mood for updating my journal, my computer gave up the ghost!. frown

I wasn't too much of a surprise as it had been increasingly dodgy and knackered out for some time but I had been hoping that it would last until I was settled in my new job. At the moment with the expense of driving lessons...

Hi folks. How's it going with you? Me, I've been caught up in the hum drum routine of getting up and going to work and going to bed and getting up and going to work etc and I am amazed at how quickly the year is passing by.

I have recently watched an Asian horror film called "The Eye" which features a young woman who...

I got a yoga video a couple weeks ago from Sam Goody, and I like it, but I haven't got any kind of schedule down yet for actually doing it. But I think if you are good about doing every day, or 3 times a week or whatever, then yes, it would be great!

I agree with the not being fully sapient bit, and I like what you've taken the time to write. It's intriguing how psychology and emotions feed into choices and actions. I don't think that angle gets considered enough, and then people wonder why rational plans don't work out.

It all makes you wonder. smile

I am in a philosophical mood so its time to waffle on about value judgements.

In our day to day life we make all kinds of judgements about people and events. It seems to me that most people categorise things (events, actions and other people) along polarised lines applying labels such as good or bad, natural or unnatural, normal or abnormal etc. People also seem...

I've noticed that most people are comfortable when they can pass a "good" or "bad" judgement, or label a person, activity, or thing. They seem to find the unknown frightening and like for everything to be explained and put in its proper pigeonhole.

An example: My landlady asked me last summer, "You're a goth, right?" Well, I do wear a lot of black, and I do happen to have a pair of Edward Gorey style bat wings painted on the back of my Cavalier wagon.... but I don't really consider myself gothic by definition. (My recurring bat symbolism is personal, having nothing to do with vampiric or gothic connotation.) I told her if that's the label she'd arrived at then I was comfortable with it. She was a little flustered by this.

On drug consumption, I wouldn't say certain ones are bad or good, just the way they're used/abused. I tend to gravitate towards those which are grown like cannabis or "shrooms" rather than formulated, such as ecstasy or lsd. I have trouble trusting my body to someone's laboratory cooking.

On a personal level, I have my own set of values or morals. They're somewhat archaic but serve me and my philosophy well. One of my biggest faults is loyalty, another is honesty, and fairness. Sometimes I will champion these to my own destruction.

One of my friends has just moved house to a more out of town location. During a recent conversation she informed me that in her new neighbourhood, one of the things that they do to pass the time is to watch mechanised pig racing!! I laughed so hard when she said this! MECHANISED PIG RACING!!!! I don't know, the evenings must just fly by round...

I went on shopping spree today and bought myself a microwave oven, a new VCR, a new iron, various cds, and a plate of chips with beans. I also bought a present for my step-dad. Ok, his birthday is not for a few months yet, but I figured that while I was in spending mood I would get something for someone other than myself. My...

Ok folks, here's true story which made me laugh a great deal.

When my Mum was a little girl, her parents had a tenant in the house. The tenant was a deeply religious lady. One day my Mum was very late coming home from school and when questioned by her parents as to why she was so late my Mum explained that every few steps...

Well folks, its Poetry Corner again!! Today's poem is "The Ballad Of The Lonely Masturbator" by Anne Sexton. Don't be put off by the title. This is a deeply poignant poem about how it feels to have your partner leave you for someone else.

The end of the affair is always death.
She's my workshop. Slippery eye,

According to the cheap and trashy celebrity gossip magazine which one of the people at work was reading today, Mariah Carey is alleged to have said the following after viewing footage of undernourished children in Africa...

"Whenever I see those starving kids I just want to cry! I mean, I'd love to be skinny too but not with all those flies and death and stuff"....

HAPPY EASTER everyone!!!

Have a choctastic easter!

Alas, no chocolate for me as I don't eat it anymore! Still this hasn't stopped me buying chocolate Easter eggs for everyone else. Oddly, since I stopped eating chocolate, I have become more inclined to buy chocolate for other people! I go into a shop, and I see some chocolate and I think, "That looks yummy! Person X...
