A fog-bound corner of the pumpkin patch....
Take heed, who knows what lurks within

The 2009 Halloween Anagramathon


This was the banner of my pumpkin carving, The Post put together for the 2008 season. I'm rather proud of it so I'm displaying it here permanently. As it is nearly Halloween, it has been elevated to the top of my page

I'm a big supporter of the Halloween H2G2 Annual Anagramathon, and have previously appeared as

As clive the flying ostrich

  • 2006: Evil Girl of Itchy Stench
  • 2007: Thighs of Electric Vinyl

As Clive the flying ostrich the thingite warlord

  • 2008: Lycan nightlife dices vet, twilight horror!! fullmoon

For Halloween 2009: Appearing as Clive the flying ostrich: thingite warlord emeritus - Halloween Anagram

  • A wailing wraith's lament frightens the evil mayor (necrotic elder ghoul) ghost

Eye Eye Oye Vey!
Last Week

I seemed to have contracted* one of my legendary eye infections. bruised

or at least my eye looks (and feels) like the interior of a slightly over ripe watermelon and I spent this afternoon in A & E.

Got an appointment in Ophthalmetrics tomorrow at 3 when we'll find out for definite.





*decided to walk home from college. It was windy. I got as far as the roundabout when my eye started to flare up, by the time I reached Tecos, I couldn't see where I was going (which made crossing the road loads of fun!) Practically fell into the pharmacy in Tescos (Callum - Thank you!!!) who kindly helped me arrange a taxi to casualty.

grr

Have been fighting with my computer all night to get it to do a simple task of desktop publishing, and every little job has been an uphill battle.

Particularly effective at cheesing me off has been it's insistence to print all my tests in Best' rather that rapid as I repeatedly told, with the result with the continued errors, I've now practically depleted my unnecessarily expensive print cartridges.

I just about calm down from that by watch Dr Who, and return to my anvil to have another attempt at raking over the least ragged tatters of my soul to the machine god.

I go through and correct all my little errors, sort out some line-of-sight issues, re-phrase a few odd bits and bobs.


Then we had the power cut. and I watched all my effort plunge into that oh-so-familiar black hole of the computer nether hell of Richard wasted all his effort for absolutely not bloody reward AGAIN.


Really, really, really very thoroughly pissed off. grr
