I noticed a while ago that I now have six followers here. This pleases me.
Four of you I know well.
Two of you not at all. I shall ask you a couple of questions, be honest, open up, you’re amongst friends.
I’m curious, how did you stumble across my random ramblings?
Which post inspired you to click the follow button?
Thank you, please leave your responses in the comments ;-)
Yesterday I was lucky enough to secure a new contract. This means I can I exit stage right from my current nightmare and start afresh in the hope that a new location and different environment brings better mental health.
In the mean time, of course, I shall continue my current general admin duties, I have been collating training documentation today, and in my considerable down time I shall blog and continue to develop the lifestyle of the rubber bands on my desk.
RubberBandBall MkII hit the 35mm diameter today, and as you can see, there is plenty more weight just waiting to be added.
Ps. The Pink Lady apple I just ate was really tart!
I got rid of a couple of local blogs in my list today. Not because I don't like the people they belong to, but because they haven't updated their blogs for more than three months ;-)
To coincide with my 500th post and the birth of 2008 I have decided to do another blog.
A purely pictorial one.
Every day (and I’ll back date it because I can) I will post a picture I have taken that day. I hope you enjoy looking at my life through pictures as much as I will enjoy snapping the moments.
All I have to say is this;First I would like to clarify that I am NOT, I repeat NOT clucky (Muv, all your grandchilden will have fur, fleece or feathers!).
Second, I still think all babies look like miniature old people (with wrinkly skin, little hair and issues with bladder and bowel control) but I found this blog this afternoon and thought it was nice that it’s written from the point of view of the baby, rather than the parents.
Being alone and a tad bored in the office today I have been pressing the ‘Next Blog>>. I think I’ve been passed about 60 blogs and only 4 of them were actually personal blogs written in English. Many more may well have been person but were written in languages I couldn’t read.
But the disappointing thing is the amount of businesses trying to sell their wears by parading as a personal blog;
- Financial and Insurance services
- Trusses for medical purposes (I suppose some may consider them fun
- Advice
- Architecture
- And of course Sex.
I added one to my favourites - Torrey Holbrook Walker, I get the feeling he actually has something to say.
For some reason in 'Yes ...but is it Art' when I put this link in for Mackenzie Crook half the entry would disappear, so I put it in separately.
This is my second day back at work after my trip to India. I’m jetlagged, I’m still suffering the after effects of long-haul travel and I’m severely bored. I have heaps of stuff I would/should be doing, but work is interfering. A little list for you.
1. I have a Uni piece to write. It requires I spread out papers and it’s very hard to be discrete about that at work.
2. I have an alpaca newsletter to gather advertising and content for. Thankfully this is the last time I will EVER have to do this.
3. I have sleeping to do.
4. I have cats to spend time with, they are very p*ssed off right now after being abandoned while we where on holiday, even if the cat sitter did read Harry Potter to them.
5. I have blogging to do about all the things I experianced in India but didn't 'do'. This one can be done at work, but I feel guilty doing this when I have an assignment to do.
6. My wardrobe needs sorting, yes…I’m that bored at work.
Just like they gave the UK no points in the Eurovision, it looks the Eastern Europeans also give Jodie Sorrels blog ‘Nil Points’.
I like Analytics, you find out all sorts of totally useless stuff about your readers and non readers.
TheOtherAndrew did this test thingy a couple of days ago and I thought I'd give it a go too.
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
A few weeks ago I made a boo boo on this here blog. Since then I have been chatting to someone under my pseudonym who has met me at the gigs, hoping that sooner rather later they would figure out who I am. I couldn’t tell… it had gone to far.
Now it’s all out in the open…my identity has been revealed through a sequence of deductions and carefully place questions.
I can breathe again when I go to pub gigs that I’m not going to say something to give myself away. I had no idea how tight my shoulders had got from the tension. I can even listen to the music again without thinking…ohh sh*t!
Before I leave for my work jaunt to the wilds of outback Australia, I though I would pay a little attention to my blog and give it a face lift.
I’ve sorted out the entry archive so it’s a little more user friendly, I’ve sorted out which blogs I read from which blogs I write and I’ve added a picture of Jodie.
This is how I see her!
I’m sure those that know me will think I’m shorter, wider and less auburn, but I can dream. I have dream of being as fit and sexy as Madonna…I have a few year until I catch up.
I noticed something when posting today. A new box at the bottom of the 'Create New Entry’ page. You type in subject labels and it means that all you blog entries can be sorted by looking for a particular subject. For instance, this entry is about ‘blogging’. If you click on the little green word that says blogging below, all the entries about blogging will be filtered out and presented on one page. Magic!
I’ve only been through the January entries marking them with labels so far, maybe one day when I’m extra busy I’ll do the rest.
While searching for something completely unrelated I found a blog for a guy called Jeff Pulver. And he writes that as a blog reader you think you know the person you are reading about. The idea is to tell five facts about yourself that hasn’t been told in the blog and then tag five people to do the same…so here goes
1. I used to eat toothpaste as a child
2. I’m dyslexic
3. My favorite book is 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith
4. I have an IQ of 134
5. The old couple on the bed in Titanic always makes me cry even if I haven’t seen the rest of the movie.
Tag – Edna, Miss Eudoxia, The Other Andrew, and anyone else who cares to try…make sure you tell us your blog name in comments.
