Quick catch up as I only have 9 minutes of free internet access at the hotel. This has beenmy first bit of free wifi etc since the start of the holiday. Outrageous!

Flights were awful, even more than usual. Spawn was great but connections and customs were not. Also car rental place sucked. You do your best to organise everything online before you travel and it doesn't matter, they still have to reprocess your paperwork manually. Do not plan to drive for two hours after a nine hour flight. You think you will sleep on the plane. You will not.

Naples was lovely but we were very aware we were out of our real estate league. And we were very pale indeed. Picked the first hurricane/flood type day to get to the swamp sanctuary. It was so bad they wouldn't even let us in to walk around. At least the rain here is warm though.

Drove back to Miami for my sister's wedding craziness. Much family drama, but it went well. Do not trust a hotel's babysitting service, they will be late. Did not get as drunk as I would like as had entire body cushioned by food.

Now in Orlando waiting to brave the theme parks!

It's how hot?

  • 11th May, 2009 at 8:18 AM

I would say that if you don't hear from me for two weeks don't worry I'm just on holiday and can't steak wifi. But since I don't post that often will you notice a difference!

I boldly went....

To expand on my twitterness on star trek, it was excellent but not mind blowing. It felt like a vaguely familiar trek song - the notes were all the same but the pacing and melody had changed. The car all the way home we couldn't help bring up massive plot (black) holes and the impracticalities and impossibilities of many of the story points.

How ever I loved many things - Spock, the new look ship, the high voltage action. Overall 8/10 and I will put it on my 'buy for a fiber' list. If I get bored I will tell you about my different film lists. It's a bit like Monica and her towels.

Something you always forget is that everyone in starfleet is supposed to be a genius. Remember how Wesley couldn't get in for ages? Then you wonder at some of the decisions made by these geniuses...

The cracking has occurred

  • 9th May, 2009 at 8:47 AM

Ever day I would log on and see your cute little tweets. You have worn me down and now I'm doing it too.

My username is tamsynjk, so please add me or whatever. Also if you could post your username name and I can add you too. And filter me out of your lj tweet postings if possible!

You only have yourself to blame.

Late but needs to be said..

I just found out that Andy Hallett, known as Lorne in Angel, died in March of heart problems, aged 33.

As one of my favourite shows he brought me much laughter and it wouldn't have been as good without him. Here is a video of his fantastic talent...



RIP

Too busy packing to be funny

  • 7th May, 2009 at 6:01 PM

Never mind 'free katie holmes' how about 'feed katie holmes'. She is now scarily thin. Any cuteness from Dawson's crack is now definitely gone.

(this has all come about because I am going to Miami in 4 days and I have to clear out my sky plus so I have space for two weeks of shows. I'm currently watching Eli stone from march, and she's in it).

Stay tuned for more 2 month old television reactions! Then again they may just be about the stress of packing. I wonder if I will be able to post from the states...

Nail in the coffins

  • 11th Apr, 2009 at 11:23 AM

I was seriously thinking about joining twitter again this morning since one of my friends was doing this cool automatic updating of FB and LJ via TW. However I have found out that my soon to be brother in law's father, who is a scottish minister, tweets. So that's out. Also my dad sent me a friendface request. So just in case I was considering joining that world, that's out too. When parents join, you know it's time to leave.

So LJ, you're the only one :)

Don't Judge Me

  • 5th Apr, 2009 at 8:44 PM

Please don't judge me but I have been far too busy reading all 4 Twilight novels to post. It's going to be 4 in 2 weeks which is some sort of record (since I left school anyway). More of the usual drivel from me on LJ will resume shortly (and just in case you wonder, yes they are badly written but the characters are endearing, and well, vampires are hot).

If...

  • 27th Mar, 2009 at 8:31 PM

If I can't even come in the top 7 in a stupid warhammer fan fiction contest out of 30 entries why am I bothering my ass to write a novel? Maybe I should just accept that my writing dreams with never come to fruition and I'm just not good enough.

If you knew that a friend's significant other was cheating on him or her, would you tell your friend the truth or keep it to yourself?

Why is this even a question? Of course you would tell your friend! You might try and suggest it to them subtly so they do the digging and find out for themselves but you are not going to let it lie. These things always come out and then you are the person that knew but never said anything.

A better question would be - Two of your friends are dating and one is cheating. They have asked you not to say anything to the other because it didn't mean anything and they are going to end it. What do you do then?

Tell them if it ever happens again you are telling, no excuses. Everyone gets one big screw up.

Strictly No Dancing

  • 22nd Mar, 2009 at 1:07 PM

OK I realise I have been going to rock clubs for a long time (16 years and counting) but the state of the dancefloor these days upsets me.

We went out last night and it was clearly a case of standing with intent. These people weren't even making an effort. I'm not talking about the straight man shuffle, acceptable in the face of not being able to dance (or not having a sympathetic female friend to help you out), this is about standing in a circle with your mates and not making an effort. Again I might have forgiven them if it was to some recent emo junk, but we're talking about Marilyn Manson and Disturbed here.

I remember when I first started going out that dancing was an art form, you really made an effort and there was a sense of shared experience on the dancefloor. These days it seems that wide open space in the club is another place to lounge with your pint.

Kids today, eh?

Smash It Up

I never post enough photos so here is one. Consider this something I see twice a day!



All is well.

Eyes Down

  • 19th Mar, 2009 at 11:28 AM

You may be surprised to learn that I am currently writing the penultimate chapter of my novel and am nearly half way through.

I guess I thought after three years (with a year off for baby in the middle) I should get this thing finished. Of course now I am near the end it is geting harder, with two massive fight scenes to write....arrggaghhhh. And then WAR does a fan fiction contest which I have to take part in...My goal is to have it completed by FantasyCon in September so I can actually say I have finished it this year - and perhaps discuss it with the senior editor there.

Whatever else happens today...

  • 22nd Feb, 2009 at 11:01 AM

I have accomplished something I have been trying to do for years.

Get a copy of Etienne by Tori Amos into my music collection. Fantastic.

"Maybe I'm a witch
Lost in time
Running through the fields
Of Scotland by your side"

Recommend a book meme

  • 20th Feb, 2009 at 7:30 PM

Very simple - just recommend a book to me. Based on what you know about me from real life, or my LJ posts or interests, suggest a book - fiction, non-fiction, whatever - that you think I'd like, appreciate or just generally benefit from reading.
Then post this in your own LJ, so people can recommend books to you to.

Sad to See Them Go

  • 18th Feb, 2009 at 12:02 PM

I just heard today that the award winning, much complimented, and one of the my favourite restaurants in Glasgow, No. 16 has closed.

From The Herald "Expect a flurry of restaurant closures in the new year. Fewer people are eating out in the recession, and restaurateurs daren't put up their prices even though their costs have risen alarmingly. Cream, butter, bread, meat, eggs ... all ingredient costs have shot up and a weak pound against the Euro has produced steep hikes in restaurants' wine bills. To add to these woes, our cavalier banks, having encouraged us all to get up to the eyeballs in debt, are reining in their lending to make their own books balance. Once the Christmas flurry is over, many restaurateurs will wake up to stuttering cash flow and heavy pressure from the bank manager."

It wasn't ridicuously expensive, and the food was gorgeous. Everyone I recommended it to went and loved it as well and whenever we went it was packed. Perhaps their downfall was not subscribing to the 5pm pre-theatre culture, where 2 courses must cost £15 or less and come with a free glass of wine. Not that I am knocking that. The only way I can regularly indulge in my joy of eating out is by using these deals, but it is true that what you save in price, you sacrifice in quality. Surely there is room for both? I guess not.

Anyway, we loved you, and hope you can return to make our mouths happy again one day.

Heart Day

  • 15th Feb, 2009 at 4:28 PM

I like Valentine's Day, but I refuse to go out to dinner and pay the ridiculous prices for the batch produced food. We always go out for dinner at the most convenient time near the day, hence we are going out to dinner tonight :) No cards or presents exchange hands.

Yesterday we went out to Pollock Park in Glasgow (apparently voted the best park in Europe 2008, wonders never cease. It is good, but the best?) to tire out the dog, give the spawn some fresh air and visit the posh food shop. They were having a wedding reception at Pollock House and I thought what a waste of a day. Instead of having 2 days to celebrate your relationship (i.e. Valentines and Wedding Anniversary) then you just have one. Unless someone wanted to get out of a present. Or of course they might have thought it was terribly romantic...

Like A Bird

  • 11th Feb, 2009 at 12:17 AM

I've been thinking of joining twitter as I like keeping in touch and am as curious as a cat. The big question is...

Would anyone outside of my husband care to know what I'm up to?
