I might just disappear

So, it turns out my domain name expires tomorrow (August 3rd) — I thought I had another week to get it sorted out.

random days

So, two things last week. I was having a bit of an odd day on Thursday, and found myself in an angry, livid mood for no reason. I was seething and I didn't know why. So I took myself off for a walk on Hampstead Heath, intending to stomp up Parliament Hill and look out [...]

messin'

I've been tweaking my blog — well, actually, I've been getting Billy to tweak my blog, but the end result is the same. Anyway, the blog bit of this site is now available here: http://mondoagogo.com/blog. In theory the RSS feed should be the same, and it "Should. Just. Work" according to Billy, but just in [...]

on becoming a better person

Last week also marked the end of the Hundred Days project, and there was a gig to celebrate, as part of the London Word Festival.

It was a pretty good gig: three female comedians and a band, with an accompanying exhibition, The Museum of A Hundred Days. Event organiser Josie Long was pretty funny, although [...]

One of these is the [...]

website fail

My Flickr Pro account expires in four days. I have been making intermittent attempts to pay for the upgrade all bloody day and the payments section site is refusing to work for me, just as it was doing a few days ago.
I have had this problem with upgrading my Flickr account every. single. year. [...]

I have been a bad blogger

That was almost a whole month without me posting anything here, or on Flickr. To be fair, there were some fairly extenuating circumstances which led to my absence: to wit, my hard drive failed and, lo, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth….
