Here I am again. For once no-one I know is online... not even the people that I have no idea who they are, who lurk on my messenger lists. No-one's here. Eerie...

Let me see... I think the thing Rob and I did that was quite geeky (to which he refers in his blog) was install Office 2000. Good news that I have it, in many ways, although now I have no excuse not to do work. And believe me, I have been doing work... I have little spreadsheety things stuck up all over the shelf type arrangement in front of my computer. I did hit a slight snag when it became apparent that there wasn't any black ink left in the printer. It isn't telling me that, although it says it's very low, but it prints blank sheets of paper. Hehe... So I've been printing things in blue and green and various other interesting colours.

I did remember to order some more cartridges today, though. Nice.

And the meal Ali cooked on Monday was very strange. I don't think it agreed with me, really. I'm still alive, I suppose, but... yes. Hmm.

Sometimes I think I ought to write a quick "who the people are that I refer to on this blog" thing, since it gets a bit complicated. I mean, I interact with several of them in real life, which makes things even more confusing.

The trip tomorrow should be interesting. On the one hand I'm looking forward to spending a day in Rob's company, but on the other hand we're going so close to home that I couldn't really refuse my Mum when she said we should stop in. I'm not ashamed of Rob (far from it) but I don't want to burden him with meeting my parents if he doesn't want to. And he's too nice to protest about it. And if he's met my parents then I feel like I ought to meet his... my Mum points out that I have met his parents before, but I don't really remember much about it, and the circumstances were somewhat different. I think I may have met them both briefly when Emma (Rob's sister and my friend) and I graduated.

I'm rambling, aren't I? This is what happens when there's no-one online to distract me.

Who am I kidding? I ramble anyway. *sigh*

I have been mostly.... WATCHING (tv): neighbours (bbc 1); firefly (scifi) / LISTENING: white flag (dido); a minha menina (the bees) / READING: about a boy (nick hornby); angel graphic novels / PLAYING: star wars galaxies
