Ok this section is unimaginatively titled 'Miscellaneous', a smart way of saying 'stuff that don't fit nowhere else'. Pretty much a collection of stuff I found on my hard-drive or on other websites that I didn't really want to lose and put here for the sake of indexing. Investigate at your peril. 2007 in reviewSummary of my tv and film watching and book reading of 2007, including my choices of best and worst showings and a number of other random awards. Christmas Dinner ShoppingShopping for ingredients for christmas dinner plus trimmings, plus random stuff for 25 is a challenge but after years of doing this, I have carefully compiled a process to minimise the stress as much as possible. It's carefully considered advice which I completely fail to follow every single time. Circles of HellIn Dante's Divine Comedy he describes his journeys through the lands of the dead – Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. There are nine circles in Dante's Hell, each for a different kind of sinner and the entrance has a sign - "Abandon all hope, you who enter here". Here are my nine candidates for the location of the circles on Earth. 2006 in reviewReview of my film watching and book reading for 2006, lots of lists and my rants. 2005 is here and 2004 is here. Florida FunJane and I went to Florida at the beginning of December 2005 to catch some winter sun and do all the fun stuff that we could pack into 7 days. It was glorious! 10 Simple Rules for a happy web-editorProfessional web editing for dummies. Whistlestop ParisI took a 3 day trip to Paris and blitzed just about every site in the city, this is my rambling journal. Golden Age of SFAn article I wrote for icsf's 2004 Fanzine on if and when there had been golden ages in science fiction television. Juliet E. McKenna - Southern FireA book review written as part of a journalism course I took. i-mode in EuropeAn article on i-mode written as part of a journalism course I took. Brian Sibley and Jude FisherI went to a talk at the Science Museum by these two writers of the Lord of the Rings film tie in books. And is my general tendancy I took a plethora of notes and wrote them up. CynacismI got an oh-so-delightful e-mail chain mail from someone on a day where I really couldn't take it. I resisted the urge to post it back to her with the accompanying rants, but felt the need to share the cynacism. Brownian ThoughtsSome fool of a dragon insisted I write something for the society fanzine. I don't *do* creative. (February 2000) An Average NightI'd forgotten I'd written this, it's amazing what you find when you drift through society archives. A description of an average night in the icsf flat (Oct 1999) MemesI'm a sucker for memes. I usually post them on livejournal and am archiving them here because... well... 'cos I have nothing better to do while watching Buffy dvds. |
