Blossoms

Ah, the blossoms have started coming out. This is my favourite season of the year! :)

Simon Pegg weekend

Ben's away, I'm ill with a persistent cold, and was feeling like a nice homey weekend indoors, so I had one. I indulged myself and watched all 14 episodes of 'Spaced' (2004 British comedy about twenty-something flatmates and their adventures) and 'Hot Fuzz'. Ahhh. :)

Did I mention I love Simon Pegg? Not just for his looks and sexy deep voice but he's a very funny bloke! And a very versatile actor too. Catch him in 'Shaun of the Dead' (which he co-wrote), 'Run, Fatboy, Run' and the soon to be released 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People' with Kirsten Dunst.

Oh, and in case anyone's worried I did more than just watch TV all weekend - I met a friend for lunch and girly shopping (thanks Lou!), did loads of washing and washing up and even made some jewellery displays - I'll take some photos once Ben comes back with his camera (he's riding phat powder in Tignes at the moment...)

Trying to kill hotmail

Some of you may already know my feelings about hotmail, and about Microsoft, its grotesque and calculating parent. If you don't, you clearly haven't been listening.

I spent the better part of last night trying to kill off my hotmail accounts (I have two; it's a long story), but being the sentimental so-and-so I am, I had to go through everything to make sure I can retain things like the emails Ben and I exchanged in the year we were apart (can't discard that melodrama!) and more practical admin things like login details for miscellaneous accounts. What a f***ing chore! Especially with the hotmail interface I loathe. It's so difficult to do the simplest of things. I hate it so much!!!

Anyway I'm thinking of throwing a party when I finally kill off my hotmail accounts. Long live gmail!! Those of you still on that antiquated shitty webmail service that is anything but 'hot' - you don't know what you're missing.

All my exes are getting married

Ok, well not all of them. Two of them. Two out of three people I had significant relationships with in the past. I was told about one in 2006, and I just found out today that another one is getting married later this year.

I am happy for them, really I am. But I can't also help feeling a little depressed. Blecchhh. What I need now is a few hours and some seriously cheesy movies to lose myself in for a little while...
