Updates: new journal entry, and a new guestbook for your signing pleasure. It's to replace the old one, which apparently didn't work.

Ooh! Look! The journal formally known as Hush, Baby - then Chonk - then Homeless - has been reborn yet again. Please allow me to introduce... [out of context], lovingly run with the Journalling Script, installed by the rocking Nita. You might call this a bit of a "launch", or failing that, a "nice bit of excitement". You can always find the most current entry here.

I received a strange sort of email yesterday, which at first I thought looked like spam, only it contained my url in capital letters as the subject line. Curious, I actually bothered reading it, and found the following text:

Hello,

I was still going to dismiss it as spam, but then I noticed a picture of a magnet at the bottom, to which a screenshot of this very site you're looking at now was attached. Which kind of weirded me out - why would they bother chasing after personal sites to shill their little product, and take the time to make a screenshot of my site without addressing me by name in their little email?

Have any of you with personal sites received a similar letter?

Tonight is "Temptation Island" and "Buffy" night - hurrah, can't wait! I'm going to make a nice pot of spiced creamed rice tonight, wait until it's cold, and eat it while watching everyone's favourite little blonde buttkicker stake a few vamps. Gotta love Tuesday nights.

I know this isn't my log, but you really should go read Kristin. She kicks ass.

New journal entry. Please tread lightly, I'm feeling a little... fragile.

Happy March. New journal entry, from a couple of days ago, but it's nary a paragraph, really. I've been writing a bit and drawing a little less, reading "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (J.K Rowling is my hero), just idling by and waiting for the final bits and pieces to come through before I can finally, finally, finally get my visa.

{ Where To Now? }

{ Pikelet Recipe } - by popular demand and search engine requests, a recipe for pikelets - yummy little pancakey things. Make some today!

{ slackerbaby } - a "log", added to on a semi-regular basis, sometimes even everyday. It is updated less and less and I'm actually quite bored with it, to tell you the truth. We'll see what happens to it.

{ aw, shoot } - silly picture galleries, started July 2003.

{ Bookish } - New for 2003, a page documenting my reading adventures throughout the months. Reviews as I feel like it; contemplating amazon.com links.

{ The Wedding Album } - our wedding pictures, finally up and in order and online.

{ my Livejournal } - the somewhat frequently updated journal that started as an extra aside to my other writings and now seems to act as a substitute for...

{ out of context } - now defunct - a somewhat infrequently updated online journal, made for spilling out longer fragments of my ponderings and life. Archives coming soon

{ stuff written } - poems, fragments of prose, stuff that I write that isn't journally or webloggy.

{ draw wings } - pictures, doodlings really, that I've done with my Wacom graphire tablet. May include scans from my sketchbook some day.

{ jewelbox } - a cosy little place where I keep the unsortable scraps that have accumulated here over the years, mostly defunct projects and things I can't bear to throw out.

{ about } - just a little something about myself.

{ ramble } - a mailing list.

{ e-mail } - if you'd like to contact me.

{ guestbook } - for those afraid of email.
