scores for facebook

OK, so I've given in, I've not put any info much, but I have found a photo (the usual) and I created an 'event'. Exactly the same text and graphic that went into my tutees' pigeonholes and via email. Had a qualm or two to start with that facebook

not enough exercise

Tuesday, 25 April 2006 9:35 P GMT+01
I just went to a dance class. Very enjoyable dance class actually. Had fun. Unfortunately there weren't enough people for them to put on a class regularly. Pity. It was the first exercise I've done in what feels like ages, I must make more of an effo

Facebook feedback

Oh go on then. I guess it's about time I started making some comment. I've been logging into facebook on and off over the last month, and so I've begun to make some observations. In no particular order: People I know well seem to be pretty much as

There but by grace... Wandering Scribe. There are lots of comments suggesting that this girl isn't real, or that there are lots of things she could/should be doing about it if she is. It almost feels less likely when you hear her voice (NYT gives her

Hurrah. Whether he believes in it really or not, it looks like the new pope is going to bring catholicism a huge great leap forward into the modern world, even if it's only a small step in the fight against AIDS in Africa.

two heads, two souls?

Saturday, 22 April 2006 8:41 P GMT+01
Oh how sad. I watched a documentary some time before? I went to the States, about a little girl with two heads. She had been essentially going to be a siamese twin, but the second baby didn't develop beyond the head. It was a fascinating programme, w

 So it's true then. Al really was injured on monday against the mackems. Shame. I was counting on him coming on for 5 minutes against Chelsea anyway, and now it looks like he won't actually be able to play in his own testimonial. Rats. Still, we

I've read a gripping book this week, the Lucifer Code by Michael Cordy. From the back matter:What happens to us when we die? Oblivion. Or so believes Dr Miles Fleming, a brilliant, young neuroscientist who has developed a device capable of reading hu

grr. another stupidly long day and with barely anything if at all achieved. This isn't right. This isn't why I left my other job. I want to leave at a normal time, like anyone else. Ideally so's I can be home at a normal time too,(but the drive is a

Easter at S James

Friday, 14 April 2006 10:38 A GMT+01
I seem to have decided to attend all the Easter services this year, but not at the Cathedral (where I'm going to miss Christus Factus Est this afternoon, dammit) but at the parish church of S James the Great (as in compostela, remember) in Darlington

looong day

Wednesday, 12 April 2006 11:10 P GMT+01
It's been a very long day today. I've done a 12 hour shift, which I haven't in a while (since I left Durham, pretty much). And I mean 12 hours. I don't mean 12 hours from falling out of bed, or from leaving the house to getting home, I mean from a

Community is a word we've been using at work a lot recently. And I'm logged into facebook at the moment contemplating community (amongst other things) too. But I've also been looking for something else to be doing, and to find time to be doing someth

it's a good job that the golf umbrella that's been living in the car was still there when we got to newcastle - it was chucking it down with a vengeance. It had stopped when we came home though. But driving back from Jane's, I noticed from the stone

Oh goody. Tomorrow evening is Carmina Burana (sort of) at the Theatre Royal followed by supper in Pani's, my almost favourite restaurant in Newcastle (El Coto runs it into a close second). Ostensibly for Jane's birthday, but I'm looking forward

Someone sent me this from HigherEdBlogCon. I haven't had chance to read it yet, and it looks like there's lots of other stuff there too, but since I trust the names that are commenting (think you need to read the comments) I'm guessing it's going to
