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...
Don't you just hate it...
...when you get a new credit card (because you're old one got scratched), and you have to go through every single online service that you subscribe to updating each and every payment details?
Damm you Barclays for changing the big number on my card every time you send me a new one.
Damm you I say 
Astounding
The big question, personally, is who actually made this, and why? It's obviously a UK-made thing (Marge is in a left-hand drive Volvo, and Chief Wiggum is a British Policeman on the corner of a street) — but WHY dammit?
(This is one of my gripes about You-Tube BTW — too many things are posted to it without attribution)
Speaking of attribution, I found it via Mr Wheaton, who (a) looks silly IMHO in his photo on Technorati's "favourite blogs" icon, and (b) seems to be more interest in poker than Star Trek these days.
Ack, who can blame him?

Hmmm....
Was it Siobhan in schoolgirl outfit who was part of the entourage who won the chance to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest this evening.
I believe we should be told.

Oh. Dear. God.
Is that what it's come to?
I bet looby is wetting his pants
(At the Eurovision thing — not the schoolgirl thing. One of these days, I'm going to get sued)
'Scuse The Vanity
So, I was playing around with my camera, and I took a couple of pictures of me right now. And one of them reminded me of a picture I took the other day...
Truth be told (and herein is why the title), I'm fucking chuffed with that picture. It's not quite the calibre of this one, but it's not bloody bad.
If I do say so myself
But I wanted to play a little, and, since I reckoned the pose I'd got going on in the stubbly darkenss of the shot I just stuck on Flickr looked roughly the same angle as that one, I thought I'd make a very short film...

It's all in the smile. That's what I've decided 
Damn, those poses were almost identical...
Interesting though, isn't it? Lower jaw completely different — but just as the result of a slightly different camera angle, and a smile
Things I Thought I'd Lost #2
A hacked-beyond-belief version of someone else's work, but, I like to think, hacked to the point of improvement.
I have a vague notion in my head to reuse this in the Great Redesign™ that I'm currently contemplating.
It is very good, but we need perfection, that is my goal.

That little movie's well done, looks great
It is a more natural look, I could explain why the difference from the look you have highlighted, but is for the viewer to decide and you to choose which is best, or which is how you desire to be seen. Many choices!

or when your e-mail service provider that has been working flawlessly since you subscribed, decides to go tits up, and you have to change to a new one. then comes the laborious task of updating every online service that I'm registered with to the new e-mail address
