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...

February = Random

It's been a bit of a long week for me. Not content with doing as much damage as possible to my liver with copious amounts of vodka over the weekend, I decided to continue the self-destruction right through the three days since Monday and poured as much wine and cider down my neck as was humanly possible.

As a result, I've had a continuous hangover since Tuesday morning :unsure:

But still. Such is my life :smile:

Outside of the 'normality' of my usual existence, I actually managed to go to a Proper Tranny Do™ on Tuesday — albeit in drab. But as much as I'd like to launch into a Karol Cross Celebrity Special, I'm afraid that I was far too pissed to recall anything other than good-natured chat, a Pre-Trannies-Arriving Paranoia™ that I'd got the wrong pub (it was deathly quiet in there until the Flamboyance arrived), and staring probably just a bit too much at a stunningly attractive tranny trying to catch her eye :unsure:

Oh, and on the way home, I think I ate a packet of Haribo for tea, and passed out on the train.

Asides from that — and asides from the perpetual headache I've had — I can't help but feel just a little bit frustrated at the moment. THere's a whole world of stuff going on all around me, and I just can't seem to engage with it.

I'm hoping that March will be a point at which things start to get better.

Elsewhere:

(a) I pulled off a bit of a coup by combining Twitter.com with some nifty regex resulting in a quite frankly spectacular piece of code that will (if it gets used) be a rather groovy thing in Leeds.

(b) Through the recommendation of Quicksilver Hermes, found a place which sells EVEN CUTER DRESSES than the one I posted the other day...

...and if the Grid wasn't down right now, I'd be frittering away every last $L I had on the rest of the outfits in the shop that I'm going to post a Slurl to as soon as I can get at my landmarks.

Oh fuck it. You know, I think I'm going to buy that house...

Sorry to interrupt, but save the BBC from Microsoft at "http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/consult/open-consultations/ondemandservices.html"

You know it makes sense!

I'm half-way through the forms as we speak...

BBC Trust — On-demand Services' consultation

"The BBC Executive proposes a digital rights management solution which would require consumers to be using Windows XP (or above) and Windows Media Player 10 (or above) to be able to access seven-day TV catch-up over the internet." — which is an even bigger mistake than them deciding to sign a restrictive deal with Real Networks in the past [via, well, everyone really]

"THere's a whole world of stuff going on all around me, and I just can't seem to engage with it."

yeah — well you cant do everything you know. maybe you're just spreading yourself a bit too thinly at the moment. One thing at a time...

I need to call you BTW...

Oh fuck it. You know, I think I'm going to buy that house...

You should buy a house that makes you go "Squeee!". Not because you're pissed off looking and think 'Oh fuck it...".

I know — been there, done that that, bought the... well house actually!

"I need to call you BTW..."

haha — you're funny. you are the ONLY person that I know that announces their intention to call me on a public (or any kind for that matter) website before actually placing the call. Why don't you just call me???? Is there some gestation period you need to go through? Oh look. There I am, taunting you again.

Well yeah, as I always say to everyone, call me whenever. There's never a bad time. I truly am a child of the telephone, (Captain Crunch was always my hero above all the other hackers).

Yeah, but I saw his podcast a few months ago, and it was a bit shit :wink:
