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...

My PowerBook has started making its own version of my work

So what was(is) it?
I have absolutely no idea 
We were having a right load of fun with the D70 this morning, you see. My colleague had taken a bunch of shots of pages from a book (to use in a lecture), and when he tried to download them from the camera in iPhoto, all that came in was a set of '.DEF' (I think) files — essentially just the thumbnails.
SO I hooked it up to my laptop instead of his, with my up-tp-date version of iPohoto on it, and they started to import properly.
But there, in the middle of them all, bearing no resemblance¹ to the original, was this little fella.
Seriously, my Mac is starting to develop a hankering for being an artist all by its little self 
¹ I say "no resemblance", but actually, it was a mis-coloured, pixellated, borked chunk of a thumbnail from what we worked out was the top left corner of the original- all I did was blow it up for Flickr. I think it's rather gorgeous though.
Siobhan's Top Driving Tips
Sorry, diverting for a second, I'm currently experimenting with TRESemmé shampoo and conditioner, and so far it's going well. It doesn't feel as thick as when I use my normal Pantene stuff, but it just seems nicer somehow. Not entirely sure about the whole "salon beautiful hair" thing though — I might actually have to go to a salon for that...
So yeah.
Top Driving Tip #134
Are you, perhaps, a timid little soul of a driver with a tiddly little car, who doesn't much like going over 30 miles per hour along country roads (with lots of laybys in which to pull in for a few seconds) while you've got a black Punto, with an almost-discernably irate guy at the wheel, bearing down on your backside.
Top Tip: GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY, DICKWAD.
Just a thought.
Ah... but had they moved out of your way, you wuldn't have been able to compose this entry and light that Marlboro, because you would have been too busy throwing the black Punto into the bends. You can't have it both ways, y'know!
insert inappropriate joke about "having it both ways" here....
You know Pantene's radioactive right? And it makes your hair shiny by stripping layers off of it, and gradually weakening it.
The old Charles Worthington Dream Hair serum was the best stuff, but they don't make that anymore. Surprisingly the closest I've found is herbal essenses.
It brings to mind a "digitalized" or pixelated Jackson Pollock... However inadvertent it may be!
