Aptly, the image is taken from a shot of the St Valentines Day Massacre. So there.
Bah February Humbug

Doesn’t time fly?
Shopping
Posted: Fri 31 December, 2004 Filed under: Festering Season, General Leave a comment »Grrr, shopping between Christmas and New Year is a fucking nightmare. So far in the last couple of days we’ve looked at umpteen furniture stores (including a journey to the Pit of the Earth – AKA Ikea) as well as some other places for clothes and general domestic stuff. The furniture places (excluding Ikea) were fairly OK, but the general stores were only classifiable as Hell On Earth™.
Still, all over for the moment, and it’s a New Years’ Eve in Reading with friends. Have a good one, one and all.
Over and Done With
Posted: Tue 28 December, 2004 Filed under: Festering Season 2 Comments »Hallelujah, that’s the Festering Season™ over and done with for 2004. Yippee!
Actually, if I’m honest, it’s not been too bad. Norfolk was lovely, bright sky, and not too many hassles. Back in the land of dial-up for a while, although I’m going to be sorting out broadband as soon as possible.
Over the next few days, I’m going to be sorting out loads of address changes. You never really realise how many places have your address details ’til it comes to a time like this, where you need to change them all. Bills, Mobile Phone, Domain Names and accounts, loads of stuff. Joy.
But at least we’re over and done with Christmas. Just a New Years’ Eve to get through now, and then it’s full steam ahead for 2005…
Festering Season
Posted: Sat 25 December, 2004 Filed under: Festering Season 1 Comment »Much as it’s unlike me, and the rest of the stuff on d4d™, I just want to say that I hope everyone’s Festering Season runs smoothly.
And remember, a stun-gun is for life, not just while Christmas Shopping in Asda/Tesco/Wherever.
Incommunicado
Posted: Wed 22 December, 2004 Filed under: Festering Season, News 1 Comment »Once today’s over, I’m not likely to be updating d4d™ that much ’til after Christmas. Tomorrow involves a journey down to the wilds of Norfolk, and I think I’m being volunteered to help with the Christmas Shop at Tesco. Oh goody, oh lucky me…
Once the Festering Season itself is done with, I’ll be down in Berks, at which point some normal updates should resume (assuming I get the WP login problem sorted at some point).
Yes, it’s all go chez D4D™
Funky functionality
Posted: Wed 22 December, 2004 Filed under: D4D™, Festering Season, General 3 Comments »Well, this is – at long last – my final day in Oldham. I can’t wait to finish – this town has proved to be a truly demoralising and depressing experience, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
I’ve just done a bit of a test with delayed posting, so even though I’m likely to be out of touch for most of the duration of the Festering Season™, there’ll still be some updated on d4d™. How cool is that?
I’ll be writing more today, but in general it’s definitely time for a bit of a celebration…
