Hello 
I'm Siobhan Curran/Kisa Naumova, and this is my weblog. I tend to write about stuff like crossdressing, Macs, code, cats, wine and Second Life, but in general it's just an ongoing conversation about all sorts of stuff. If you'd like to know a little bit more about what this all is, I recommend starting on this page which has a little bit of info on who I am, and what I'm trying to do — or you could dive into my five years worth of archives if you like.
Otherwise, feel free to close this box and explore...
Dancing Orange Pixies
Last night, Kath and I spent the evening sitting in front of the fire with George, some music and a couple of bottles of wine. Just relaxing and talking about stuff. I went off on one at one point with the camera, and started taking long exposure shots of the fire (which I'll stick up in a little bit), but I just wanted to share this picture of George, who seems to enjoy the fire more than anyone else in the world

I'm convinced that he thinks that little orange pixies live in the black metal box, and every now and then they come out to dance for him. ![]()

Can we all please just take a few minutes to offer up our sympathy for a certain Ms Kathie, who appears to have injured her finger?
Random Interjection
Something I've been meaning to do for ages is to make a few sticky pages about certain things — work, me, the sites — but I'm not sure the best way to do it. Probably some things in the sidebar that resemble 'sticky' pages. One thing that botheres me somewhat with the format of a blog, is that sometimes really good things get lost in the dim and distant past, and I'd like to bring them to the front.
I'd also like to be a bit more open about myself on tranniefesto.co.uk — that probably makes no sense, but I think it will, eventually.
"Blogdad!" That's so cute! ![]()
(What does it mean?
)
Here, incidently, is one of the long-exposure shots I took of the fire. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet though

I have no idea what it means. It has nothing to do with Iraq, however...
Is it like "Drag-mom"?
YES! Exactly like that. But more digital and with less false nails
Must... point... Tom... here...
Ian Betteridge
I think Tom would look just dandy with false nails
And I thought he was digital in its full incarnate being?
Ian, you mean Tom Coates doesn't read this every day?!
Even though I added him to my Cunning-Linky-Thing Whatchamajigger? Even though he did link to me once (without actually realising it)?
Doesn't matter. Honestly. See if I care. ![]()
He does look scarey in that picture BTW
Note to self: Capital 'P" for the tongue thing. Capital 'P' ![]()

Yay! it worked! ![]()
Could you not get it to parse the lower case
as well?
If I wasn't quite so lazy, then yes ![]()
OK, seeing as I've got a shred of consciousness left before I got to bed...

What are you still doing up? Go to bed!
Me too!
Good night.
zzzz

What am I doing still up? I'm sat here worrying that I might be getting slightly sober, that's what ![]()
I'm also worrying about the aesthetic value of that animated smiley ![]()
And I'm log-watching — so I know I'm not the only one still up
It has zero artistic value. But who cares! It rolls! It's the best thing ever! And I'm sober!!
zzzzz.
And if I scroll down the screen far enough, I don't have to look at it ![]()
![]()
you know it's still there though... above the fold... rolling... rolling...rolling... and watching you...
Get to bed, girls... Busy day tomorrow!
aw Can I not stay up to watch Top of The Pops, Dad?
so unfair! sulks
Yeah
You let Troubled-Diva stay up 'til midnight last week strop
I've no doubt Tom's been here — hyperblogger that he is, he's probably got you on his watch list ![]()
Tom sees all, Tom knows all!
And looks quite hot in a suit.
Ian Betteridge
I know a Tom Coates, but he's due to retire so can't be the same one — can it?
Rachel
Just noticed Tom's use of the 'preferred' gender — such a gentleman!
Rachel
You know, if we all keep talking about the poor guy like this, he's going to think I've got a thing about him ![]()
What we need to do is bump this up the Googleranks, so that searching for "Tom Coates" gets you this page as the top result...
MWAHAHAHAhA
snigger I think it would take a few more links than I could ever possibly achieve to do that ![]()



Just do what I do and copy whatever Tom Coates does! he's my blogdad! Thanks Tom. Sorry Tom xxx
