Hello smile

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...

And This Is What Exactly?

And This Is *What* Exactly?

Watching the weatherman last night, I was heartened to hear the words "Hot! Hot! Hot!" with big suns all over the country. Then I wake up to this.

At least I've not got my washing out, like they have next door :wink:

Self-Constructed Validation Protocols

There is a piece of paper, next to me on my desk, with those words (and a smiley face) scrawled on them. It's there as a little reminder to myself that last night I had the most wonderful idea for a Deep And Meaningful™ discourse on, um, well ... see, now I forget.

I'll try to remember what it was, because I'm sure it was a good'un :unsure:

In other news — Ey'up Kath's back :smile:

Oh The Irony (2)

Continuing on from the story about my little fuck-up with the colour of the films I was projecting last Friday, combined with a general search for something interesting to do tomorrow night and Steph's comment...

Perhaps you could run a series of showings — ala the Three Colours trilogy

...guess what's playing tomorrow at the cinema we were using?

Is it Smokey and The Bandit 2?

Yes. Yes it is :rolleyes:

From the holes in that leaf, I'd say the rain isn't only wet, but acidic as well.

Can you think of a witty diatribe please — I'm writing an essay and need something to distract me for a bit as I'm bored of looking out the window.

And this is what exactly? — A Hosta dear, and a slug eaten one at that.

Yeah, see, I was talking about the wet bits :wink:

Can you think of a witty diatribe please

I tried, believe me I tried all day. But my head is in other spaces at the moment, and "witty" is not something that currently goes in my head with "diatribe"

Soz :unsure:

This is just a rather cool persistence-of-vision/optical-illusion thing — in lieu of me having anything interesting to say today

whoa...

...interesting to say today

What about SVPs?

Interesting illusion :smile:

What about SVPs?

Um, I still can't remember — apart from it being something about constructing ways in which we feel 'good' about ourselves, perhaps as opposed to relying on traditional ways. I can't remember if I thought it was a good thing, a bad thing, a blog-related thing, or a trannie-related thing.

I'm away for a couple of days, I'll try and remember. Promise.

Dear Siobhan,

I have recently deveopled an interest in digital photography and the printing of digital images on canvas. Unfortunatly your search script no longer seems to work, please could you link me to the posts where you talk about your camera and the printing of your stripey pictures?

Thanks,
