The night before last my fiancé and I went out and saw the latest Harry Potter film, the Half-Blood Prince. Here are my reactions to the film.
First off, I loved it! I thought it was thrilling, that the important parts of the storyline were included, that the acting is getting better and better, that the [...]

I love cats, adore them. I think cats are awesome! My fiancé and I have two cats that are just great. Today I felt like doing another Theme Post, I told you they’d be more! So today’s is going to be cats!
I think to start this entry we have to go with a Maneki Neko; [...]
Gods, another throw-back post. Right now, I got to thinking about all that house talk from earlier this week, and it got me to thinking about what to put in my house, if my fiancé and I were to buy one. I mean how I would decorate it differently from our current, rented, home.
Just [...]
I had this entry planned out about all this investment stuff. Seriously, it was all nicely written and everything, but unfortunately for you – if you’re interested in investments – my fiancé showed me a very funny video on YouTube, so now you get the abridged version!
Okay so whilst I don’t think I am [...]
Glad I didn’t go ahead with it

I happened to be looking over some of that net stuff I had researched for business purposes… and boy howdy am I glad I didn’t do all that! What was I thinking!? That is way, way too much work for me to want to bother with. I am so glad I didn’t go ahead with [...]
Surveillance today
Posted in Life, Technology on Jul 18th, 2009
I was reading a news article the other day about surveillance on the internet. The inventor of the internet, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, said that he believes governments and companies should be limited in how much they monitor users on the internet.
It’s an interesting notion, as he goes on to talk about the internet being [...]
On to the net

In my last post I mentioned that I was considering a small business where I sold my handmade wares. I outlined what would be needed if I were to do this in my community in my last post, but I had also considered doing it online. Maybe selling stuff on Etsy, maybe my own site, [...]
Hardly seems relevant…

I was just about to do this whole post about stuff I have been considering, a knitting business of sorts, taking on commission work and so on, when I heard on the radio all that has been happening today over in Indonesia. It is just so, damn, sad, that people are doing this to others. [...]
With my last post, I mentioned that my fiancé and I are putting money away for a home in the (hopefully) not too distant future. Well, I am aware that the property market has been in quite the slump for the past few months, and prices still seem to be markedly lower than the actual [...]
When I say ‘That time of year’ I am referring to two different things that happen to coincide. One of those events is that last Thursday I put in for my tax return, and should have it back in the next two weeks. The other event is my local fabric store’s annual 1/2 price fabric [...]
