What is my freakin' problem??
Posted Sep 30, 2006
I am such an idiot
So last night, I went to a bookshop. Okay so far. I picked up a copy of 'Sorcery' by Terry Pratchett, to buy. This is because my sister's boyfriend reccomended it to me a while back. Still looking good. I then decided to buy copies of 'Nine Stories' by JD Salinger and 'Raise High the Roofbeams, Carpenters, and Seymour, an Introduction' also by JD Salinger. Perfectly sensible.
Then I decided to buy a super incredibly fabulously wonderful leather-bound shiny gold page-edged with one of those ribbon bookmarks special edition of the complete 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' omnibus by Douglas Adams.
Now, I know that sounds like a wonderful idea, but the snag is that I already have multiple copies of all the Hitchhiker books. But I simply could not resist having this. I go crazy for anything shiny. It was also the only copy they had, and it was marked down to 19 dollars. So I bought it, and now I slightly regret doing it. At first, I totally hated myself for it, but now it doesn't seem so bad. But still, all things considered, it was stupid of me to buy it.
And a side note, something funny I noticed: They had similar editions of other books available, you know, all fancy and such. They were things like 'Emma', 'Huckleberry Finn', 'The Scarlet Pimpernel', 'Great Expectations' and 'Moby Dick'. And then silly science fiction humour books from the eighties.

Piddlepedia
Posted Sep 29, 2006
I have coined a new nickname for Wikipedia:
Piddlepedia!!!
This came as an accident yesterday evening when, for some reason which I don't really remember clearly, and if I did, it probably wouldn't really make much sense anyway, me and my dad were mixing up the syllables (sp?) of "Wikipedia". He said something like "I'll Peddy-Wikel it" or something, and that eventually lead to the appropiate name Piddlepedia
So yeah, that's about all I have to say for now.

Alabaster
Posted Sep 17, 2006
I decided I need a change, so I have temporarily switched from Brunel to Alabaster. I have always used Brunel, since that was what I started with, and until now, I found the other two skins positively awful. Especially GOO which is really annoying, plus it takes a long time to load on my slow dial-up connection. Now, I find Alabastar fairly tolerable and it loads pretty fast, which is a perk. So far, I like it pretty much.
In other news, I need some ideas on what Entries to write next. For a while, I was overwhelmed 'cause I had loads of ideas, but now none of them seem very good any more, or I decided I don't want to bother with them anyway. Right now, I have one pretty good idea I got last night and one other very tentative idea which I may or may not go through with after all. And I have looked around Challange H2G2, but I didn't really find anything interesting.

My Cat

Here is a picture I painted today of my cat, Slinky. The red symbolizes the blood of many a mouse slaughtered by his cruel fangs.
