I have started signing up for all the Timeout preview screenings - mainly because I am stingy, love the cinema and love a free film even more, no matter what the film is like. The problem is that the preview screening thing is based on a bit of a ...

Ouch, it's been ages since I last posted anything. It's not even that I haven't had anything to write about - it's probably more like that I have done more things that equate to "having a life", I went to Norfolk for a long weekend which was brill...

Healthy lifestyle

I've just been to my first ever Weightwatchers meeting. Yes, I now have 10 weeks to go until I am supposed to spend three entire days on a horse on and next to mountains, a day in a canoe and multiple other days dragging my backpack around Norther...

I finally got my tickets to the Sonata Arctica concert in a week. Yay! I already saw them in November (they must like the UK) and it was probably the most thoroughly enjoyable concert I've ever been to. It probably helps that the songs are so eas...

Have you ever read Dilbert, the comic strip? I'm not sure Dilbert has much relevance for people who do not work in a corporate software environment, but for those that do, it actually is scarily close to real life. I work in an internet start-up,...

Northern exposure

I'm a lot poorer now, because the travel company I booked my wilderness adventure this summer with confirmed that the tour was definitely going ahead - so I sent them the rest of the money. Which was a lot. Oh well, living on beans on toast isn't ...

QotD: Where in the World...

If you were independently wealthy, where in the world would you live? OK that depends on just how wealthy I am. If we are talking about Bill Gates dimensions (one can dream) I wouldn't live in just one part of the world. I would have houses in ...

On Wednesday I went to my first rock concert in a while, which was great. I am a big fan of metal, especially Scandinavian metal (I just like the melodic style that is played there), so one of my resolutions is to make use of living in London by g...

Trip to Vienna via Belgium

nobody@vox.com(Skihippy) — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 11:14:50 +0000

I'm back from my second trip to Vienna this month. A very Austrian month indeed! This time it was a scheduled trip though - my yearly trip home for Easter - and I had been planning it for months (which still didn't help the extortionate travel pri...

Trip to Vienna via Paris

Last weekend I went to Vienna and Lower Austria (with half a day pause in Paris) so I thought I would do a little photo diary. Above are a few pictures of Sacre Coeur and around. Since I only had about 6 hours in Paris, and two of those were tak...
