Every year I buy a diary that has two days to a page and I fill it with nonsense details about what I had for dinner and where I went during my lunch hour. Things that aren't particularly interesting to anyone else, but are interesting for me to look back on later. I can never remember the little things like that, but whenever I do, it brings back the more …

Yesterday was the last ever Buffy and it made me cry, not because it was sad or anything - it was good but nothing fancy. It made sense and everything worked out okay, but it seemed to go out with a whimper instead of a big bang... in my opinion. Anyway, it just made me cry because I spent the best part of this time last year watching all the …

I just finished reading the whole of the Heat special double Christmas issue, with all the TV listings and I'm sulking because I can't find Mary Poppins in there anywhere. I know she has to be in there someplace, but I can't find her.

Okay, so here's the lowdown on what's been going on recently... My love of Queen is still going on unabated, I listen to them a lot and have recently started singing loudly to Bohemian Rhapsody and falling in love with it all over again. I got a workout DVD, which is mostly dancing which is great because you're so busy concentrating on getting the moves right, you barely notice you've …

I thought it'd just be a sore throat, a bit of a cold but no... has to turn into a full blown bout of flu or something. Today I've been ordered to stay in bed and for once, I'm not actually complaining about that. Right now, we're watching Steve Jobs, the guy from Apple that 'booms' and 'poofs' telling us about the new iTunes stuff, Apple are great! Mr C …

I'm really annoyed because I've been driving up and down so much and working all day and stuff I haven't had time to learn anything or I've been too tired to read any of my books. We just finished watching Time Commanders and I really love it. We've discovered a passion for educational TV and at least it's not mindless soap like Emmerdale. But TC is really good because they …

Who watched Eastenders? I have to put my two cents in and say that the whole nation would have been watching the episode and not even bothered concentrating on what was happening with Sharon and Little Dennis, when they knew who was going to appear at the end. And could it have been more predictable? "Hello princess" and roll the drums... I've been listening to Radio One a lot recently, …

All I wanted was a box of Old El Paso Nacho's and Tesco's Finest white choc cookies. Do you think I could find any? I had to go to three different Tesco's and an Asda Walmart, which took me over an hour. Dammit!

I'm such a muppet. I don't really remember doing it but I managed to walk into a door handle and now I have a huge angry bruise on my left hip. It hurts really badly but every time I complain about it and show Mr C the various shades of purple it's going, he takes great enjoyment out of prodding it. Big meanie.

I just booked for us to go and see We Will Rock You again!

I thought it was just a hangover, but my killer headache rolls on to today, so perhaps that's not the reason. I've been learning stuff today, and although not good for my head, I didn't want to just sit around and do nothing for another whole day.

Today I watched James Bond - one that I haven't seen for ages. It's such an institution, it always cheers me up. Yesterday, I wrote a lot of notes for the software testing that I learnt and I also started a new book on UML. My hands are hurting from too much writing! I've been a little obsessed with bid-up.tv the last couple of days, it really draws me in. …

The Grand Prix today was so good, mostly because we were rooting for anyone but Michael, therefore we had a good chance of being happy. Ralph was my driver of the day because he fell right behind but then caught up and overtook his brother (something Mr C has always said he won't do). And of course, it was pretty fantastic to see Michael get lapped!!!

I'm trying to do lots of things with this page, but I'm getting confused with all the folders and stuff. Mostly, it's just experimenting which is fine, but I have lots of things that I want to use and no real outlet to use them. I also need to think of a new name, given the lack of stories that have appeared on this website, I can't really warrant having …

I learnt so much PHP today, and I finished off reading the software testing book that I started, so my brain is full of wonderful facts and figures. Today, I got a hangman game to work (only broken because of a damned ampersand!). It's not aesthetically very good, there are no spaces between the letters so it's hard to play, but the point is - it works!

I met up with my brother today, and we went to the cinema to see Pirates Of The Carribean. It was really good, although a little unsettling, that I went to see Orlando Bloom in a movie – see if he could shake off the elf-ness – and came out loving Johnny Depp instead.

I did so much learning yesterday, my brain's in a bit of a spin. PHP and Software Testing and I was doing stuff on my website which is always teaching me new things. Thankfully, it wore me out so I slept okay. I woke up a bit too early for my liking, but that's just the way it is.

I came home yesterday, and it was raining and really nasty weather, just at the time when it's getting dark. I hate that time because you have your lights on but they're not really doing anything, although it's still hard to see. Over the weekend, I tried my hand at making my own fudge. It wasn’t a complete success, but Mr C did attempt to eat it. He ate quite …

Argh, Tomb Raider is so infuriating! We've got to a bit with a lady who's a bug... sort of a ladybug! But she's really hard to defeat. In fact, I've travelled to visit my parents to get away from it! We're looking at photos of me as a kid, and the nice parents that they are let me choose which ones they can embarrass me with. What a choice!

Things that are getting on my nerves: I can't stop listening to Queen. And if it’s not Queen, it’s We Will Rock You. I'm currently playing Tomb Raider 2 in an attempt to kill time before the new one arrives. I got stuck in Venice (level 2). All those waterways! Once I'd got through that, I breezed through the next four levels and now I'm stuck again... grr... We headed …

We Will Rock You rules!!! That is all.

Isn't it weird how everything can change around in one day? Not even a day, just an hour. Mine has been doing that so much recently, you'd think I'd be used to it, but I'm still not. A lot of the time, I'm quite easy going, but I've been forced to make instant decisions that are huge and really should take time to think about. So far, it's been working …

Mr C kept telling me I was getting the germs and I kept trying to deny it. As it turns out, he was right, my throat is sore. Today is Friday 13th as well. We went to London yesterday and saw a guy in orange trousers playing guitar. The music was very good, the orange less so. I drove back through London when it was still busy. We survived!

I bought some envelopes today but forgot to get stamps so that's not good... but anyway, the guy I bought them from was trying to talk to me but he wasn't saying anything normal. Conversation that I expect from a salesperson - "nice day, isn't it?" or something relating to my purchases, "Have you tried the self-sticking envelopes?" That kind of thing. This guy was going on about how he …

I'm feeling kinda good about myself today, my hair is behaving - that helps. Mr C and I watched the Eurovision together last night, and I got a bit drunk while we were watching. Way to go UK - nil point! I missed my mother a lot while we were watching it because it's sort of a family tradition that we watch it together. Perhaps we'll just have to start …

From one extreme to the other. It's raining. I like rain but not today. Definitely gloomy.

I asked my mother what mood she thought I was in and the answer that I got was "You appear to be quite jolly!" So I am. I went for a walk today, along the river and through the woods, it was very pretty.

An old friend sent me a long email filling me in on everything she's been doing in the two years it's been since we saw each other. It's almost as if nothing's changed. It was just like old times, but it's also completely different. I've moved so far away from those days but sometimes it feels like I'm still right back there. And in a way I am. But aside …

I was inside and I decided I wanted to go sit out, so I got out the blanket that I sit on and everything, I just got settled with my notepad to write some poetry and then just as I started getting creative, it started to rain. Damn the English weather!

A very sweet man at the petrol station let me in front of him in the queue, because I just wanted to pay for my fuel, and he had a whole armful of stuff.

Okay, so each second that I'm living is going about as fast as a snail, and yet I never seem to get anything done. Not that I have anything that's particularly pressing to get done but it's kinda annoying. Mother and I just watched Now and Then that I recorded from yesterday, I love the music in that film!

Today, I was driving through Dartmoor and winding around those intriguing roads. Into my head popped an amazing story, and I was visualising it being adapted from the book to television, on the BBC. Of course, the big obstacle is writing it, but at least the dream is there.

Deep Blue Sea was on last night and I hadn't seen it before. I knew, however, that Samuel L Jackson died in the middle, and time was ticking on and I complained that he hadn't died yet. Two seconds before he got eaten. Oops.

We went to see Final Destination 2 last night and it was really good. It wasn't as good as the first one as there was less plot and more gore, but any film that shows a man getting a ladder in his eye, a boy being squashed by a sheet of glass and a guy being sliced into pieces by barbed wire, that's gotta be pretty damn good. Of course, …

I hate computers... I updated this once already today, well, yesterday and it just disappeared. Typical. Today was the longest day of my life, second after second ticked by slow as ever. I even wrote a poem called Bored. Says it all really, doesn’t it? When I got home, took a nice shower then settled down to watch some Buffy. Looks like I'm gonna have to speed watch and get …

I don’t feel so good today. I had the day off and slept most of it and still all I want to do is crawl back under the covers. In more positive news, we just watched Ocean's Eleven and Brad Pitt has never looked finer.

I’ve spent most of the weekend sorting through all the junk I came back with from my trip home. I found a poem I wrote when I was eleven, I didn’t realise I wrote stuff when I was that young. I thought it was a recent thing. We were also looking through this old tin box with toys and things in and then we came across these really old exercise …

Insomniacs are relentless about time, about night-time, because each minute is another grain of sand through the hour-glass and into your head for the next day. Time For Bed, David Baddiel I'm no insomniac, but I can understand that. I could not sleep at all last night. I grabbed an hour between 11 and 12, and then I watched the clock tick by until about half 2. The rest of …

Okay, first things first? I can't get any of the Queen songs out of my head and I can't stop listening to them! Oh no! I really should be glad though, because they've stopped me going down the destructive path I was headed on - the liking of U2! So thank you Queen and Ben Elton!

Friends was on yesterday - a double bill and all! It was completely chuckle-full and brilliant as usual. I have a whole day ahead of me today and have no idea what to do with it.

At about this time 24 hours ago, I was about to go and see the brilliant We Will Rock You. It was really, really good and I would recommend it to every single person that even half likes a Queen song. Tony Vincent was pretty tasty as Galileo as well! I had an interesting tour of London, I saw China Town and Hamley's, oh and I got taught about an …

Today I have just attempted to tidy up all the mess that I made yesterday. I didn’t get up until late, having not gone to bed until 3am, so it’s been an odd day. The Osbournes is playing in the background. I have to say I’ve avoided it mostly so far, but I can understand how people find it funny.

I can never help myself. I have a gorgeous apple and blackberry crumble sitting in front of me. I know that it's hot, just out of the oven, but still... I'd sacrifice ending up with a burnt tongue for any kind of crumble, it has to be my favourite dessert! I thought I was having a useless day, I was trying to achieve things but they weren't going right. I …

I spent my day as I hoped I would, with Mr C. The rest of the day will be involved with just sorting stuff out before tomorrow, when – eeshk, back to work.

It’s just... amazing. I mean, even that word doesn’t do it justice, I’m honestly speechless about it and there are few things that can have that effect on me. Two thoughts – Orlando Bloom, beautiful man! I could never get a crush on him, but my god... he’s beautiful! And secondly, the scenery? I can’t even begin to describe it. I love a film that I can get totally lost …

The last day of work! Then two whole fabulously festive weeks off! Yesterday started out as the worst day I’ve ever known but it got so much better. Mr C and I settled down with take-out pizza and watched a rip-off of MTV where there were only a select few videos that were on loop. I mean, let’s be honest, there’s only so many times you can hear ‘Sound of …

Because my brother is away at the moment and has limited space available, I get to look after all his videos for him. I have collected from him all the series’ of Friends that are out, and today he brought me six seasons of Buffy. Now this is a real treat, because I only manage to catch the occasional Buffy episode and although I love it, I never seem to …

I just watched Britney in her film Crossroads. It was a lot better than I thought it would be, which is a sneaky way of not really giving you any opinion on it at all. Britney was also a better actress than I thought she would be. Ha. I didn’t really buy the name Lucy, though. Of course, the main problem with the film is that I don’t get on …

We went to see the James Bond film yesterday, I really enjoyed it! I know it's been around for a while, we were going to see it before but somehow never got round to it. It is good though, and Halle Berry, she has perfect skin.

Well, here I am once again, munching on Christmas cheesie biscuit things. I've changed my mind about the moans of the Yuletide season though, for tomorrow I am heading out to do my Christmas Shopping. I love to buy gifts for others, imagining what they will say once it's opened, and how they will run off to show people. When I'm out shopping for others, I rarely imagine what they'll …
