OK, so even though the times are showing up as an hour behind on the Blogger editor thingy, they’re coming out right when I publish the entry to here. So that’s OK then. Cool.

I’m slightly irritated at the moment. See, I went shopping today (more in a mo), and one of the things I bought was purple hair dye. I had been going to dye my hair black with red bits, but I like purple too, and I figured doing just one colour would be easier. So when I got home, I followed all the instructions to the letter, put the dye in, left it for 30 mins like it said, rinsed it out…… and is my hair purple? Is it hell!! If you look really carefully, it’s slightly darker, and there are tinges of reddy-blueishness in places. Not impressed. I’m thinking of digging the packaging out of the bin and seeing if there’s somewhere to complain to. Back to the black and red, I guess.

Anyway, the shopping. First of all, I went to pick up my new Buffy box set from the sorting office (which was a whole palaver in itself which involved me getting horribly lost and having to ring them from my mobile (thank god for modern technology) to tell me which way to go next), and from there I went into town. I hadn’t really had a good shop there yet, just been in for specific things. So I hit the charity shops, and so on – and would you believe it, I found a pair of matt pvc trousers which fit perfectly, for

I’ve just realised, now the clocks have changed, the times on these posts are wrong – as well as lagging by 10 mins again, it’s an hour behind cos it still seems to be in GMT rather than BST. When do the clocks change in America? That should correct it. Or don’t they change?

I only seem to be partially conscious today. It’s a weird feeling.

Saw an odd (but useful!) thing on the way to work today. I was walking along the road that leads to the station, wondering to myself whether I had time to get a ticket in the station, or if I should just get one on the train. I was just about to hoick my sleeve up to look at my watch, when something caught my eye. In the window of one of the houses was a clock. A wall clock, facing out, into the street. I can’t think of any reason for it to be there, since it’s useless to anyone inside, unless it’s put there so people going for the train can see if they’re on time! Which would be nice, but very, very odd. And then, as I was pondering this, I walked past three full shopping bags by a lampost, with no owner in sight. It just get weirder, doesn’t it?

Meghan, if I hadn’t seen you on the train this morning, I’d be wondering if you were dead. A hangover is no excuse not to blog, you know, young fella-me-lad….. er….. lass……. oh, pants to it.    )o.o(   Owl!

That there on the left is me….. well, if I was an inch-or-so high cartoon figure. But it’s a reasonable representation, for now. But I’ll be doing the hair-dying thing again soon. So, oh damn, I’ll have to go and play around and make a new me. Heheheh.

The times on this thing seem to be skewiff (heh, I’ve never written that before….. wonder if it’s spelt right) again. Hum. And I still feel like cack. I’ve felt a different kind of ill every day this week since Monday. Annnoying, and not at all fun! Today, it’s stuffy nose and headache. But at least I can talk again. Yay me.

Due to my ‘puter being a bit dodgy these days, I’ve been offline for a fair bit of the weekend so far. I’m working on my new site, and since everything crashes much faster if I’m online when Homesite is open, I’ve restrained myself. *g* Hopefully, the site’ll be up pretty soon now….. :-)

Errrmmm…… I’m sure there was something else I wanted to post. Oh yeah! The whole Tripod deletion thing – they seem to be taking down all fan sites for various TV shows. Very odd. Megs has the info on her blog. I did hear that Angelfire and any other Lycos-run sites may be doing the same, but my re-direct page to Spiked and Skewered is still there. Unless they wouldnt’ take that down cos the site’s gone anyhoo….. *shrugs*. It’s a total nightmare for those who’ve lost their sites, though.

I’m wondering whether to bring my little project forward a bit now. Might be able to help a teeny tiny bit. We’ll see. *mysterious grin*

Woohoo, last day of my run of 4 50-hour weeks. And I’m off for 9 days from tomorrow. I’m soooooo knackered it’s untrue! I’m just planning to get lots of sleep….. oh, and sort out all my websites, and finish unpacking and finally get the house sorted. I’m also going to have one more crack at finding my Worf-kitty – he has to be *somewhere*.

Was tempted to bludgeon B to death last night…… didn’t have the energy, though. *g* I know he can’t help it, cos he’s got a bit of a cold, but his snoring kept me awake for ages, and then woke me up at intervals during the night! The final time was at 5.30am, and I didn’t get back to sleep. This isn’t helping with the tiredness. Still, I guess it’ll give me a bit more impetuous to clear the spare room so I’ll have somewhere to escape to in future! Heh. I apologised this morning for the murderous thoughts……
