Categorylife

The general parent category for most of the things I write about on here.

One of the more interesting Louisa-centric sub-categories is biodata (where I explore my personal history with graphs, maps and whatnot), and if you’re that way inclined, you can read about the wonderful felines and canines with whom I’ve shared my life too.

  • regrets consuming caffeine late in the day. has retreated to the living room after being taunted by the snores of @johnleach and the cats. #
  • can’t decide where to go to dinner with katherine – all my great “let’s try somewhere new!” ideas are closed on mondays. boo. #
  • end up in Salvo’s – excellent as always. @johnleach is having SFC. #
  • has had a productive afternoon – got lots done while procrastinating about doing something even less desirable. #
  • watches a giant cat scare himself with a swivel chair. #
  • hears some bad news about a big yellow dog. who will dry-hump my leg now, who? #
  • wonders if we can expense the milkshakes we always *have* to have on the way home from the accountants. (today: oreos & fry’s mint cream) #
  • is finding it hard to concentrate today – it’s too easy to slack off when I’m home alone. #
  • has been redesigning an old site today. Actually have too much screen real estate for a change, have to think of ways to fill it… #
  • has had a bloody good week. Done lots of good work, more than I imagined, in a timely fashion and not been stressed at all. Aceness. #
  • is tempted to collect two of every animal. well, the cute ones anyway. #
  • started her collection by catching a wet dog that was loose in the street. had to give her back to her owner afterwards though, boo. #
  • had lots of fun at the gillroyd parade gig last night. drove home via morley, nearly hit a dog – that would have put an end to my driving… #

  • has got biscuit crumbs *everywhere*. only upside: realising that “cleavage crumbs” is lovely to say and sounds pleasingly euphemistic. #
  • watches the postman try to camouflage all the spam he’s giving us by slipping it inbetween letters. #
  • had chorizo, smoked cheese, dill pickles and cream crackers for lunch in the sunshine. yummo. many cats were present also. #
  • is getting disheartened with driving lessons. unsurprisingly my main problems are meeting people & preparation/organisation. #
  • @johnleach no, you’re not. you’re laid down on the sofa, i can see you. or i would be able to see you if i wasn’t TOO HUNGRY TO SEE STRAIGHT in reply to johnleach #
  • is eagerly awaiting chickpea and paneer curry. #
  • is clicking and typing softly while @johnleach tries to nap on the sofa. #
  • thinks she’s far too clumsy to carry out the plan she has in mind. #

Last week’s Tweets (up to 2009-05-04)

  • had tuna steak with lime, coriander & chilli marinade for tea, now making sweet potato, chilli & coconut soup. sweeeet. #
  • has had a surprisingly stressful and shitty afternoon #
  • had some more tuna steak with lime, coriander and chilli, on a bed of rocket & lambs lettuce as a starter. followed by pizza & chips. #
  • thinks it’s time for soup. #
  • ‘s best buddy Katherine has a lovely, lovely house to let in Churwell/Morley – 2 big bedrooms, new kitchen/bathroom. DM me for more info. #
  • had a very positive session at the vets, feel like we have options. Grahame Tasker at Bramley Vets4Pets always explains things really well. #
  • @sugarquay was it a knob gag or a fart joke? i’m tempted to devise a proper hierarchy for such humour. in reply to sugarquay #
  • found it surreal that the NOFX gig finished at 10pm sharp but it did mean we could go to tescos, pick up a kebab & still be home by 11. #
  • returns from caking with Katherine at the Bowery. My brownie wasn’t brownie-y enough really but Mrs S was as delectable as always. #
  • thinks the cat thinks if she sits on the kitchen stool staring me for long enough she’ll get some more fish. #
  • leaves this tweet as a reminder for FutureLouisa_: don’t go for a mortgage with a free survey, more of a ballache than paying for it. #
  • is amused someone described himself as being “really disappointed” about contracting swine flu. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8028974.stm #
  • has a sore throat and swollen glands. wonders if it’s #leedsrubything flu. #
  • is looking to sell a website: 4yrs old, very well-regarded, 12000 pages of unique content & potentialtastic. any advice, tips, suggestions? #
  • feels a bit too poorly to go for curry & be sociable – a very sorry state of affairs. :( #
  • still feels like crap – first time I’ve been ill in ages. boo. #
  • had a lovely bath despite being repeatedly disturbed by phones. feel so much better this evening. #

Last week’s Tweets

  • @sugarquay at london prices though, isn’t that just two pints of Stella, half a shandy and a Britvic 55? :) #
  • is heading out into the sunny Sunday to find an all day breakfast supplier. #
  • has had a marvellous day of breakfasts, milkshakes, cats in the sunshine and pub gatherings. #
  • @sarahjarvis i tend to go for choc’n’mint based ones (eg, oreos & aero mint) but @johnleach is a banana man (banana & ginger nuts or toffee) #
  • has got her phone situation sorted out – will be back on my normal number on Wednesday. in the meantime, email or call my PA @johnleach :) #
  • is going swimming this afternoon for the first time in weeks and thinks she might need to get a scythe out to deal with her copious leg fur. #
  • had a very annoying visit to the pool: they’ve changed the times w/out warning for the 2nd time in a month & also nearly crashed twice, grr. #
  • is thinking about the future. think my working life needs shaking up but i don’t know how. have too many interests/ideas to choose from… #
  • thinks @johnleach deserved everything he got. #
  • @sugarquay glad you had a lovely time. i hear terrible things can happen on wedding nights. hope you laid back and thought of dorset. in reply to sugarquay #
  • has posted a whole lot of photos to her blog this evening (and remembered to turn off the auto “new blog” notification thing too). :) #
  • had good but not great food at sukhothai with katherine: rice too sticky, veg a little too bitey. k gave me a fun bracelet though so yay. #
  • loves PastLouisa_ – she left me a glass of vimto earlier so I wouldn’t have to disturb cats to make one now. She rocks. #
  • discovers it’s three years to the day since we started Recycle This (http://www.recyclethis.co.uk) – redesign & more features coming soon :) #
  • thinks she might have finally finished paying off her student loans – perfect timing given impending huge mortgage. woo. #
  • had a fab day with @johnleach: lunch at the town st tavern, charity shopped, candy floss in the park then a walk in “our” new woods :) #
