Wedding plans

Hah, no bog-standard wedding band for us, oh no!!! My gorgeous husband-to-be has only gone and provisionally booked this lot for our reception! And they only happen to be one of my most favouritist bands in the world!!

GHOST TOWN

Apologies for the absence, I've been far too busy being obsessed with weddings! I've finally managed to get the blogger tool to work in Opera (my usual browser) so expect much more regular updates from now on!

This site is well worth a visit. It's by a Russian woman who is a biker. One of her favourite rides takes her through Chernobyl, and the site is a series of photos of the abandoned city, and it is extremely poignant, especially the last couple of pages.

Good news!

Ulen and I went to Paris at the weekend. We had a wonderful time, and on Sunday evening, at the top of the Eiffel Tower, in howling winds, I proposed to him and he said yes!

Snow Patrol Official Website

Best band in the world at the moment, IMHO. Up till August last year I'd never even heard of Snow Patrol, but then I went along to a gig in Northampton with Ulen and his friend. Started off thinking they were okay, nothing special, just another guitar band but as the evening wore on they just captivated me. Since then we've seen them three more times (Reading fez Club, Oxford Zodiac and Reading Uni), I've bought the albums and the Run single (no.5!!!), got two tshirts, won a signed album and am going to see them again next month. I suppose you could say I'm just slightly Snow patrol-obsessed!

Anyway, check out the band at the Snow Patrol Official Website, buy the album and discovoer what's so good about them for yourselves.

If you're ever tempted to go and see a band called I, Ludicrous, don't bother!

Merry Xmas

Take a look atWelcome to Ugly Christmas Lights.com!if you want to be put off your Xmas dinner ... mind you, they don't even compare to some of the appalling attempts at "festivity" around here. i did vaguely consider setting up a sight featuing manky lights, but obviously someone beat me to it :0(

Anyway, have a wonderufl Xmas and a fab new year!

So true!

Make sure you try this ... type "miserable failure" (without the quotes) into Google and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button ....

BookCrossing Documentary

Most of the last few weeks have been taken up with recording and editing material for a college assignment - a 15 minute documentary on BookCrossing.Com. Well, it's almost finished, and a member of the UK Yahoo BookCrossing Group has very kindly put it online for me. It's quite a big download - 7.5MB or 14MB depending on which quality you choose - but I'd love to hear what you think of it!
