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...
CSI: Lancaster
Right, so, for the past few weeks, the council have been doing roadworks just across the road from my house. Pneumatic drills and diggers and noise and dust and men with cups of tea.
A few days ago though, I noticed that the stone pillar between mine and my neighbours' front doors seemed to have shifted — so much so that there's a 10mm movement to the right, along with a big gap and it seems to have come away from the rest of the house a little.
(You can see daylight behind it)
So I'm documenting it here, in case the gap gets any bigger. Either way, someone at the council is going to get a letter from a stroppy Irish transvestite wondering what they're going to do about it...
Holy crap!!! Hope theyre going to pay for the repairs.
I can see it now — "A Lancaster tranvestite and blogger has made history by becoming the first person to win a subsidence compensation claim as a result of evidence posted on a blog."
Like the caroons as well Miss K!
You can't be Grissom, because I'm Grissom (when I'm not being Catherine)...
Surely you should have long red finger nails if your going to get into the media as blogging tranvestite...

An anonymous coward
Kath, you can be Grissom as much as you want. I'm Horatio with my cool shades and my over-acting abilities 
Self-Consolidation
My little id-dilemmas of the past few days kinda got vaguely resolved in my head this afternoon. For ages now, I've been tustling internally with the questions of "Which persona does what?" Who makes the films? Who makes the photographs? Who wanders around a virtual space looking cute?
But it was on my way home (just outside Gargrave I think) that what I actually wanted struck me. I want all three things to be synonymous.
This probably makes no real sense outside of my own head. It's just a little way for me to mention that I've updated my about page to reflect what I think of me a little bit better.
There'll be some sort of prize for the first person to spot the thing that I swore to myself I'd never ever do BTW.
Note To Self:
At some point in the near future, write a post about the influx of new accounts on Second Life and the (seeming) trouble some are causing, and title it ... (wait for it) ... Griefer Madness

Real full name?
I'm Horatio with my cool shades and my over-acting abilities
To be able to over-act, you surely have to be able to act to start with? I thought it was an acknowledged fact that David Caruso's acting ability was entirely concentrated in his constantly twitching eyebrow?
Oh, and is there any chance you could have made that puzzle just a little less obvious?
Self consolidation
Gahh I hate you. I've been planning to write a smart little illustrated disambiguation piece about my many selves in my About section for the last couple of weeks, and there you go doing it first so I look like I copied you. Again.
K, no matter what I do, people copy me. I'm becoming resigned to this. I just wish, sometimes, that when they do, they don't make quite so much of an aesthetic balls-up of it¹. You know?
¹ And slap their own copyright on it
Oh. Wow. My dad spends entire episodes of CSI: Miami making fun of Horatio's over-acting and sunglasses-taking off skills. snark
Heh — it's just that overacting and sunglasses-ludicrousness that makes me fancy the pants of him 
that makes me fancy the pants of him
I know it's pure cheese, but he is just so cute.

You said a long time ago that your dad googles for your surname regularly and that you'd never come out to your parents. Aren't you bothered that he'll get linked to your about page?
BTW: I love the blog.
Thanx!
Sarah
Aren't you bothered that he'll get linked to your about page?
Well, unless I'm totally misunderstanding the concept of "no index, follow", and Google plays nice and reads <meta> tags, then it should be OK. Plus, if you look at the code, I've html-entity-ised it.
So, you know, *fingers crossed* 
Who does what?
Shortly after I started reading your 'diary' (as 'twas), this self same question occurred to me, but I never had the (8/3 pi r ^3) to ask. I was kind of scared in case the question sparked off a previously unexplored chain of thought that made your head explode or drove you round the bloody twist! Considering how quiet you've been over the past few days and the whole 'id-soup' thing, I'm glad I kept my gob shut (for once).
...prize for the... Easy-peasy, for us; not so easy for you I suspect. Once again I stand in awe etc, etc. But I'm kind of concerned that there's not much more of this 'envelope' left to 'push', if you see what I mean. Sometimes the struggle is far more interesting / rewarding than actually succeeding? Crap! Strike that pessimistic twaddle and replace it with a 'Yay for you!'
8/3 π r³
I'll come back to the bit about "envelopes" in a bit Alli, but I just wanted to mention that I got that 
He he — had to google (8/3 pi r ^3) there
Best use of maths jargon on a blog this year, Alli Cat!
Still thinking about 8/3... OH RIGHT!
Excellent. Look out for it on a wall near you...
Are they coming through the crack?
