Semi friends only

Welcome to my Journal/blog/collection of waffle/examples of procrastination.
[delete as necessary]

I tend to keep most of my posts locked. I do this not because they contain loads of personal information, but because I am a private person by nature. Having said that, I like to get to know people and I make it a point to comment on any posts that pop up on my reading page. Well, unless I have nothing to say. This is rare since I always find something to say, even when there’s no real point to it

So about me....I'm a Telly Addict. I have a long list of programmes that I watch (the complete list is in my profile) but the top five are currently: 

1. Castle
2. Rizzoli & Isles
3. Fringe
4. The Mentalist
5. Criminal Minds

This does not mean I spend every single post ranting and raving about the latest episodes I've seen. After all, that's what comms are for. Though if something does bother me enough to post about it, it's going to be rather vague to avoid spoilers for those that don't watch at the speed I do.

I also love music, movies and books. My taste in all of these are very wide and varied. Music wise I can go from classical to rap via folk and rock all in the one playlist. Movies are very much the same in that I will watch absolutely anything, but if it's rubbish it gets moved to the "seen it, never again" column. Books, well everything except chicklit is fair game to me.

I know a little about a lot of things and a bit more on a select few. One of the select few being design as I'm currently working as a web designer but I'm also a qualified graphic designer. I'll try and spare you from my odd love of typography.

So that's me in a nut shell. Oh and my pet bouncer up there is called Sue. Don't look him directly in the eye and you'll be fine.

Oh, you may find it handy to know that I refer to my Dad as The Bearded Wonder or Bearded and my sisters as No.1 and No.2. It's not wise to call my Mum anything other than her name or mum. 

[It should be noted that my grasp of written language is absolutely shocking most of the time. Especially spelling. You have been warned]

And as shameful as it is you can find me on Twatter Twitter under @uncageddesign *hangs head in shame* I still don't know why I signed up...

If you're not already there, could everyone head on over to LiveJournal (despite it's evil qualities) and have a go at technophobe1975's Cryptic Cartoon Conundrums. You'll find it here.

Be warned though. I've been staring at my screen for the last half an hour trying to dig through my brain to get the last few answers. I will get them *shakes fist*

I've decided to take on a few book challenges this year in the hopes that it will give me the direction and incentive to start reading again. I've been keeping a list of the books I've read for a couple of years now and I've noticed that the total amount has been exponentially decreasing each year. I don't really want to analyze why, but I do hope to stop it in it's tracks.

I'm hoping [personal profile] vorvolaka , who is doing some of the challenges with me, can help me with this as I've given her permission to bully me when needed. *looks pointedly at her* Remember, that doesn't include arse kicking. Or making me walk up The Hill of Doom again. I plan to update this post with my progress. If you are interested on how badly I'm doing compared to [personal profile] vorvolaka , who I will not be attempting to keep up with, you'll be able to find her book reviews over on her journal.
Now, lets talk challenges. )
burrr!
 Has everyone typed "let it snow" into Google yet?

No? Well, get to it then.

This is mainly because I can't be arsed typing very much. Plus I really like this song. 


This is the reason I love watching Transatlantic Sessions. I find really random artist/bands through it.

Today's musical interlude is inspired by the fact I've had no clue what day is all day. Every time I check or ask someone it slips my mind within seconds. I may have short circuited. *shrugs*

I was listening to this on the way in to work this morning. It is now stuck in my head.

Ok everyone. Go look at the google homepage animation. Go on, get going. *makes shooing motion*

I'm currently listening to this on repeat. Don't judge me!

My new favourite version of this song. 



Casual Fridays
Just while I'm on YouTube.

I had to post this. And I now really want to watch Buffy/Angel again. *looks for DVDs*

I can't stop listening to this. On repeat. For hours.

This live version sounds slightly different but I thought it was more interesting than the videos with the studio version.

Is it sad that I'm really happy that Julie Andrews replied to one of my tweets? 

Actually, I don't really care if it is. Julie Andrews is awesome. 
OMFG

I would just like to draw everyones attention to the following website.

www.thecolourclock.co.uk/

IT'S A HEXIDECIMAL CLOCK! IT'S SO COOL!!!!

And what's even better? You can download it as a wallpaper!

*is geeky*




 
EDIT: So it's a screen saver not a wallpaper. Doesn't make it any less cool.

Two things about the following video. 1) I've just recently decided that I really love the way Clare Maguire sings. I haven't really put much thought into the whys of this but give me time. 2) I now know where sample used in the music for this Renault ad came from. I've been shazaming the heckles out of it for ages trying to figure it out but each time the ad finishes before the app has had the chance to start.

So, anyway. Musical interlude for you listening pleasure.

Hi. My name is Mhairi.

Welcome to a small slice of my mind. It's not always pretty but it should entertain in some way.
