over-complicating the everyday

I’ve made a few gentle tweaks to the design, not sure if I am sold on them yet.

What do you think - are they noticeable, do they work? What would you recommend?

Courtesy of m1k3y, I now hit you all up to watch this.

Yesterday I started a post in my head. A post about weeds.

Ended up too tired sore and grouchy to be bothered. 

I’ll keep it in mind for later.

Oh, and I totally blew the who NaNoWriMo thing. Maybe some other time. I have some thinkings to do.

This one is for Gonty

From over at Kottke…..

The Criterion Collection:
” The Criterion Collection The Criterion Collection just launched their new web site, complete with the option to watch several movies online. It’s $5 for a week rental and that’s applied toward the cost of the film on DVD or Blu-ray. Not sure about the quality…the excellent intro movie on the home page says ‘high quality’…not sure if that means HD or what. There are only 17 movies online — including Au Revoir Les Enfants, Solaris, and Lord of the Flies — but they’ll be adding more as time goes on.

Update: Another one for Crumpet

If I was superstitious, I would surely think this house was haunted. Not a day goes by where I don’t spy something out of the corner of my eye, and feel like I am being watched when I know I am alone. I’ve never experienced this outside of this house.

It just happened again….

For those who are about to knit, and those who are about to fry-up.

Bike Hero. My goodness.

The Hardman has recently become quite a fan of Shaun the Sheep, and the Wallace & Gromit experience. So much so that he has a framed picture of Wallace & Gromit that he carries around the house with him.

Tonight, Kym found an old W&G address book hiding in the kitchen, and gave it to the Hardman. He loved it.

While he was flicking through it over dinner, Kym remarked that she hoped they’d better do a new Wallace & Gromit film soon, as Peter Sallis is getting quite long in the tooth.

Only moments later, as I was making pikelets and catching up on some RSS mojo, I spied this piece of information:

Wallace & Gromit - A Matter of Loaf and Death Comes to BBC One This Christmas:

I think I’ll be watching The Box closely for this one.

Buy Wallace & Gromit box set from Amazon
