I have a new friend, it's due to hatch soon, check back now and again to see how it's doing.
I've actually decided to adopt two eggs, in case one of them turns out to be a lemon :)


You may notice a trend in my bookshelf, yes, I'm an SF fan, but having said that I'll read most anything, but with a definite preference for science-based fiction, whether real world or futuristic. If you need any of the reserved books on my shelf please PM me and, if I can get them to you, and back by the time they are promised to someone else, I will.


The more observant among you may have noticed that my picture is not actually of me, I don't look that green even after a night out with the Renegades, it's my furry Cthulhu who watches over me from his usual place, perched on a bookshelf. If you ask really nicely I may even bring him to meet you at a gathering.

I actually have at least 2 new member referrals, but I'm guessing they didn't fill in that little space that says that they were referred by me, oh well I'm not doing this for the glory anyway :-)

I have finally found a book I've been after for ages K-PAX II (on a beam of light) so my wish list is down to a wish book. K-PAX II has just bumped whatever was next on my TBR list but once I have finished that it will be available for any Gene Brewer fans out there, or anyone who has read and enjoyed the first K-PAX . (The film wasn't bad either)
My current wish list for books is any of the Torchwood novels, especially "Slow Decay" which I read about half of in WHSmith before thinking I might be pushing my luck a little. I now have Slow decay, thanks to a NSS partner, also Border Princes due to another kind person, so now, as well as the third Torchwood novel, I'm looking for Flatterland (by Ian Stewart), the sequel to Flatland.
Also hoping to read Q&A, the book on which the film Slumdog Millionaire is based.
As to my wishlist for anything else, I can always use SD cards for either of my cameras or MP3 players and also for transferring data from one PC to another. Trying to find somewhere that still sells small capacity (128 or 256 Mb ones) but they seem to have disappeared.

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

That was lucky I guess. So I'm where I'm supposed to be, much to the consternation I'm sure of some other Londoners
