Cat Heaven
Our cat Beany had to be put down today - he had feline leukemia. It was a bit of a shock, as he was only 9 years old. I never really expected to be this gutted about an animal dying, but he was an integral part of our family. Life won't be the same without having to remove the cat hairs from the piano stool every time I go home, or having him follow me up the road when I go out.
RIP Beany.posted on September 25, 2003 { 7 comments } -

Plug and Play
If you're in London this weekend then you could do lots worse than to head up to the Regent Street Festival tomorrow for randomness and chaos.
More importantly though if you head towards the BBC Stage at about 4.30pm (directly after The Tweenies...) you'll see Nine Dogs Deep, the band my housemate Ben is in. They're really very good indeed. Something tells me that once this weekend's over they'll have an enormous 4 to 8 year old fan base...posted on September 06, 2003 { 7 comments } -
Ears Burning
I signed up to the Summer Burn project again this year and have yet to receive a single ounce of good musical loving, despite sending my offerings out into the ether over a month ago. Help me out! Have you uncovered any musical gems lately?
I have...posted on September 01, 2003 { 12 comments }
- How to have meat with your veg :: 'If you are going to discuss the ins and outs of being vegetarian, there are some traps you should avoid falling into. The most boring question in the world is: "But don't you miss bacon butties?"'
- Al Gore's $30k-a-year inconvenient truth :: Smartly written article in the Guardian about Al Gore's excessive energy consumption. I've yet to see An Inconvenient Truth, but judging from the reactions of others it's pretty powerful - I hope this news doesn't undermine its message and intent.
- Geek | Manager :: Productivity and efficiency are at the heart of the first few posts in this new weblog by Meri Williams.
- Oh flip! :: It's pancake day. I will be mostly stuffing my face and feeling grim.
- Egg on your face :: Well, head actually. Some guy has a full English breakfast tattooed on his head. Silly sausage.
- Magazines vs. The Web: End of an Era :: Slightly one-sided but sensible article comparing print magazines with their online counterparts. {via}
- I Hate Macs, by Charlie Brooker :: Vitriol much? "The only way to have fun with a Mac is to poke its insufferable owner in the eye." I can't imagine his reaction to the fact that as the Guardian ran the story, their website was covered with Mitchell & Webb mac ads (screenshot at linkmonkeys)...
- When the sea level rises... :: Google maps mashup showing potential flooding due to global warming - I've linked to a map of London with the sea level 14m higher (slightly ridiculous). Great if you like messing around in boats.
And the rest...
