Whee! This is nice, but if I'm going to journalize, it seems sad to give up the opportunity to get one of those spiffy blank books they sell everywhere. Perhaps a nice red one like Bridget Jones' diary.
All my email is caught up. It's much easier to stay on top of email when one is being paid to sit behind a computer screen with the email program smacking you in the forehead.
Just getting over a cold. Being ill sucks. The unique sensations give me these weird memory zaps of being a kid again, presumably as that's when I got the most colds.
Watched Bridget Jones' Diary last night. It's got a fair number of funny moments, but it's a total woman fantasy. Bridget has a wild fling with Hugh Grant (ugh!) before settling down with a wealthy, principled and successful barrister who doesn't look too bad either. I picked up a new curse from it: 'Piss and Ballocks!' I quite like it. I've used it once this morning already.
The nice lady who bought our house actually mailed me some seeds from that plant that I was fixated on for awhile. While I've since gotten over my fixation, I did like that plant and I was just starting to think she stuck my SASE somewhere and forgot about it. I couldn't blame her, it was a bit of a weird request. Always nice when someone goes out of their way for a stranger.

Heeeey. Hi there. :) I still have an offline journal, but I never write in it; this one is just too convenient. Actually, more to the point, last time I counted I had a half-dozen or so offline journals, all spiffy nifty bound lined blank books, each with an average of five pages filled out. The only journal I've even come close to filling up with anything but random drawings is a spiral notebook that Myles swiped from Microsoft for me. Aside from being a technophile, there's the fact that my handwriting sucks rocks - I have a hard time translating it on occasion, and fairly often I'll go back and re-read to find that I've left out key words, phrases, and sentences in my haste to get a concept out of my head. This is much easier to fix on a computer. ;)

I've always thought that Hugh Grant is vastly overrated. Yeah, he has a British accent - but so do millions of other Brits who are much more attractive and less smarmy. I'd take what's-his-name who played Marcus from Babylon 5 over Hugh Grant any day. And I'd stand by and smile while he kicked the crap out of Hugh with his stick, too, but that's just me.

Julia Roberts is also, IMO, vastly overrated. Thus, there was no chance I'd ever see that one movie with the two of them in it - Notting Lane? Something like that.

Which kitty is that in the picture? :) And I'll reply to your email soon... uh... honest! No, really, right quick. cough

*Groan* You caught me. I've had two of those over the years. I think one had almost nothing written in it, and the other was possessed during some pubescent multiple dweebonality disorder and so the pages that were written on were always being ripped out as my personalities were always roundly disgusted by one another. That's why I only drool over them and never buy them.
I never watched Babylon 5 which generated deep suspicion among my friends and acquaintances. Nevertheless, I can appreciate your sentiments. The barrister guy beats the crap out of Hugh Grant towards the end of the movie. In itself justification, perhaps, for watching it. Hugh Grant actually does pretty well as the dissolute, uber-charming slimy weasel, much better than as a leading man. Yes, stay far, far away from Nottinghill, wish I had.
That's Grimilkin exploring his new digs.
