There is going to be a remake of that classic SF film The Day The Earth Stood Still. With Keau Reeves as the alien Klaatu. Ack. This could possibly be the worst remake of a classic film since the 2006 mangling of “The Wicker Man”.

As you may have noticed, I have now installed Skype (I refuse to use “I’m Skyped!” or some other some horrible mangling of the language). So any of you with a Skype connection can now talk to me online. You may also have noticed the new ad for my astrology service – yes, I am […]
…is what I’m feeling today. Had another tachycardia attack last night, just after I’d got to bed. Spent an hour lying there, willing it to stop, then went downstairs (very quietly, so as not to disturb B) to get a beta-blocker down my neck (Doc G has told me this should do the trick, if […]
….since I bought these earphones for my ‘puter, I’m discovering all sorts of wonderful music. I’ve never had sound on my machine before; I had speakers for a while, but could never get the sound to work, then Son borrowed them for his machine and broke them… Anyway, I can’t believe what I’ve been missing.

I was trying to put the magazine together, discovered that a regular contributor couldn’t make it. So I had to delete four pages and rearrange the rest of the magazine.

….feeling blahhh. Besides the usual (headache, stiffness, nagging bladder) I felt low and depressed. This was probably to do with something I’d talked about with a friend last night, an ongoing situation that gets me down sometimes. But, it’s my problem, I’ve lived with it for long enough. It’s not that serious. It just gets […]
…that cannabis – especially when combined with a shedload of other pharmaceuticals – can be bad for you comes in the no-longer-chubby form of David Shayler. The ex-MI5 whistleblower appears to be shapeshifting into the new David Icke.
……pinned up in in the local Post Office this morning: FOR SALE Mountain Bike. Used once, 6 months old; Elliptical Exercise Bike, 6 months old; Magnetic Exercise Bike, 6 months old; Phone XXXXXXX Somewhere, I hear the tinkling sound of broken New Year resolutions…….
…from the annual Oakleaf Camp. And still dead tired, despite having nine hours solid sleep. But it was mostly fun. What I didn’t like: The unending drumming. If anybody wondered why I never appeared at the fire, that was the reason – I don’t like having to listen to hours of mindless skin-thrashing. Even away […]
