I've been getting arty, so let's party

Had fun at Frazer's birthday drinks last night, except for the bit where Dave from Geek Syndicate French-kissed my nose, which was disgusting (right in front of his lovely girlfriend, too). Had an interesting conversation with Joel about "odd" London, although we seem to have quite different ideas about what constitutes "odd" — he tends [...]

handmade weekend part 1

It was a weekend of crafty/handmade/self-published/DIY goodness. And some DIY badness, thanks to my stupid, stupid neighbours (how do I hate my neighbours, oh let me count the ways).

BICS (Birmingham Is Cool Sometimes)

So, watcha bin doon? Me, I've been quite social lately. I went up to Birmingham, using a last minute decision to attend BICS as an excuse to catch up with old friends who live in the city. It was fantastic to see them, but I must confess that BICS was disappointing this year. I don't [...]
