Im a sucker!

I just placed an order for a new USB pen drive

How pathetic is that?

Britains biggest earthquake!

Britain isnt known for its earthquakes, far from it, as land of the bland where we dont really get hurricans, tornadoes, summer, winter, torrential rain, or anything else.. Other things we dont have are active volcanoes and earthquakes - well we have minor quakes but to be honest as far as I have read 99% of them go unnoticed because they are either that small or less violent than a small truck driving past and people just dismiss it.

However, today.. 4.7 in the richter scale (spelling maybe wrong there) todays quake details

4.7 is the biggest one in england for a good while!

Part of the reason we dont have volcanoes and earthquakes of course is because we arent on any of the plate lines aroudn the globe, and while thats not the only cause of earthquakes, it is the major cause. Hence looking at things like Earthquake monitor you can see the older quakes in purple and see the follow the earth plate lines - yes a few are splatter off this but the majority are on plate lines.

I certainly didnt feel anything firstly, I was asleep, secondly, I think we are too far away from it to even have felt it even if we knew it was happening.

More memories

Im as sick as a parrot right now, to the point i had an appointment earlier but Im tempted to phone the doc already and say no, its gone a stage worse... But Im gonna try hang off, coz the next step would be hospital.. and we all know I dont like them now dont we..

Anyway, One thing you have to do is find things that make you smile, and I loved this song, cant really put a finger on why, but hey, i love this song.

Sick as a parrot..

I feel like DEATH, we shouldnt get ill, we should just die, well at least there would be less suffering.. OK OK, I dont mean it, but I feel really bad, I have an extreme temperature, a huge headache, my throat/tonils/glands are swollen, Im not sleeping, Im sweatting like well, a sweaty thing.. My skin feels like some form of new torture device as bits of it keep sparking with pain..

So, heres something to make you smile, I loved this ad, it sounds rushed now, like it should have been marginally slower, but, its still a good ad.

Memories!

A big big thank you!

I went to the opticians today, what a con that is, 175 pounds for a pair of lenses, which the "1hr stop shop" will have taken 3 hours to do start to finish.. sigh.. oh and I had to pay an extra for anti reflective coating despite not wanting it, as otherwise they'd have to "send off" for lenses which would be like a week... And if you could see my old ones, believe me, waiting a week wasnt an option.

anyway, I sat there with some lady who was waiting for her husband, and the 15 minute wait turned to conversation (as we british women do) and well, the short version is, I had in my pocket a voucher for 30 quid off a full set of glasses, which, had 2 parts, 1 for me, and 1 for "friend or family" .. so I gave them the friend or family one, why not, I dont know anyone else likely to go to the opticians in question, and well they would be using it, so, it was no skin off my nose..

So, I come out of my appointment having been told no my prescription hasnt changed - which was no surprise there, to find her waiting for me and I got a pressie of a pack of thorntons (best uk chocs!) mini eggs!! How kind was that.

So, to you mrs you really are kinda and wonderful and renewed my faith that humanity and manners arent long dead! May you and your husband have a great easter and life to come.

Post 201.. update on vids..

So, this is the 201st post.

Its not that deep and meaningful, I finished my DS9 watching, and have moved onto series 1 of house. At this point, its a little disapointing, theres only 2 series :(

I love house (I know Ive mentioned it before) I just love the fact he reminds me of me.

I also need to say it was a glorlously sunny bank holiday friday..

Today was almost a great day!
