Have fun! I'm trying to convince my friends to head out to Vegas for spring break. :-)

My Eyes! My Eyes!
I had my eyes tested this weekend, because I noticed that my right eye felt quite scratchy after work sometimes. It turns out that my eyes are a bit dry, so I have to put warm compresses on them and use eye-drops especially if I've been staring at a computer screen a lot (So... That's pretty muc...
I love it!!! I want one!

New Vintage Make-Up Case.
At lunch time yesterday I had a couple of things that I had to do in town, so I walked over from my office and on my way I decided to briefly stop at the large antique shop on the high street. Well, it says antiques over the door, but really it's a flea market and that's actually fine with me be...
Turns out that my internet connection was going down all of the time because of a loose cable. Silly me!

Please allow me to vent for a moment about the deplorable lack of internet this holiday weekend. Essentially our wifi router is the same one we've had since we moved to North Carolina in 2007 - so it's at least four years old, and it's been fine for pretty much all of that time. Right up until F...
Ugh, Charter! I was so angry after talking with them that when I got off the phone, my hands were shaking. Luckily, my brother is a tech guy for a university, so he came out and solved my wireless problems for me. Turns out it was my router. He switched me out with one that he had on standby and I was good to go. Next time I have wireless issues, I'm just calling him. I've learned my lesson.

That's okay. I was really excited to see the stills! So many great scenes in that movie.

A Really Great Sunday.
Today has been very exciting, which considering I spent most of yesterday either asleep or washing my clothes, would have been exciting had we only gone out for lunch (Oh, and we also went to see "Thor" in 3D, which looked great, was very well cast and yet was somehow clearly not that memorable....
That is a cool dining set. My brother has the same table, only it's all red.

Love the Britcoms on Netflix Instant. I'm currently catching up on The Vicar of Dibley.

TV and Movies.
I keep forgetting that Doc C has never seen any of "Blackadder", which makes it's being available to watch through our PS3 Netflex access all the more welcome. Also we went to see "RED" this evening, and I am once again reminded that Helen Mirren is totally fabulous in all ways.

Must be nice. I can't imagine never having to drive because I live in such a rural area. It takes me 45 minutes to get to work. I can count on my hand the number of times I've actually used public transportation.

Car Dependency - An Epiphany.
Recently my friend Shawn tweeted (@idleformat) that Brighton was third in least car-dependent UK cities list. I followed the link he provided to see which UK cities had had beaten my old home in the survey. Nottingham topped survey ahead of London despite a multi-billion pound taxpayer investm...
Copiers are the EVIL!

And Then The Toner EXPLODED.
Generally when there is a problem with the department's main copier it will turn out to be a paper jam in the part that gets really super hot. Normally this would be too mundane to note, but this was the only photo I took today and it did make multiple colleagues gasp and/or giggle, not to me...

I loved Coraline! I'm glad I decided to break my rule and watch the film before reading the book. Now I have to go read the book.

Coraline (2009) - Freaking Finally!
Since Friday I have watched my "Coraline" DVD (Thanks again for that Mum! Love you!) three times, twice in 2D and once in exciting 3D. I'm not being sarcastic there, the 3D really rocked. I actually really want to watch it for a fourth time, with the director's commentary playing, but I don't ...
Love it.

Academia Zombie Chic.
One of the best parts about working at a University is the dress code of "smart office wear" is very ambiguous. I'm not able to get away with Threadless T-shirts, but apart from that it's fairly easy to have some fun with my wardrobe. For example, I felt the combination of a neckerchief with a...
I hate how she hasn't been on "Project Runway" very much this season.

It's Thursday. It's Ten PM.
Can't update blog. Watching nail-biting finale of "Project Runway". Well ok, maybe nail-biting is over stating it; but no time spent with Tim Gunn is wasted. Actually, Mum also sent me a copy of Nina Garcia's book "The One Hundred" for my birthday, which is a style guide which lists 100 items t...

The Brain Slugs Brothers.
I've finished the bigger Brain Slug, he's just as intent on enslaving humans through brain control but I like to think he's got a better sense of humour.
I really want to watch "Coraline", too. I'm trying to wait to watch it until after I've read the book. However, that could be months from now because I'm still in the middle of reading "Infinite Jest." It's like the book that never ends.

The Coraline.
I'm beginning to think that "Coraline" is destined to take the place of "The Women" (1939), in that I desperately want to see it, feel fairly confident I will love it and find myself repeatedly prevented from seeing it. "Coraline" was being screened tonight at the University, for free, and we we...

Two Years of Spousing in an Alien Manner. Like, Two Months Ago.
Anyway, I totally missed my second blogging anniversary. It was back in April! I believe I shall have a nice cup of tea to celebrate.
I had no idea that there were different ways to pronounce Sarah. Please share more of these! I get a kick out of the subtle differences between American English and British English.
Commented Apr 1, 2009 on It's Different Here. at Alien Spouse
It's Different Here.
I've noticed that Americans don't pronounce Sarah and Sara as different names, the absence of the H is just a variation of spelling, it's still the same name. Sara doesn't rhyme with Tara here. Also whenever I say that a letter has arrived "in the post" I find Americans think I am being very qu...

This season Yoda is wearing a cotton crochet robe, with a hood, and is favouring crazy white acrylic hair, with no product in it. Master Yoda lives on the planet of Dagoba in a small round hut; represented in our picture by the Royal Albert Hall and wooden trees of the Muji London set, which...
The little girls in my Kindergarten class LOVE how Michelle Obama and her daughters dress. They were sharing with me what they wore during the inauguration when one of my boys said, "Ewwwwww!" Do we have to talk about girls' clothes?". HA!

The Important Issues of the Day.
I wanted to really consider this before I weighed in with an opinion, but I think it's time to join the debate. I loved Michelle's yellow outfit for the inauguration ceremony, I thought she glowed. That shade of mustard is a great colour on her, I really liked the sparkle at the neckline and al...

If Your Present Arrives, It's Your Birthday. (I'm on Birthday Number Four I think)
My main birthday present from my lovely and thoughtful Mum arrived today; it's an alarm clock that wakes you up to the sound bird song, followed by Steven Fry's voice speaking a number of different greetings. Actually I've long maintained that my Mother is waging a diabolical campaign aimed at ...
