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:

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.
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.
{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.
