Well, Thanksgiving was great! I'm now playing transatlantic hostess to [livejournal.com profile] speedlime and 2 of her friends. Today we went to this exhibition of video games at the Science Museum, where Speedy kicked my ass at Ms Pac-Man.

Meanwhile, blueyonder have put up my column on the best sites for graffiti! I was proud of this one, especially the filthy inscriptions from Pompeii and the glowing LED thingies.

Sadly, I've just learnt that blueyonder has been bought out and is being taken down in February. I've really enjoyed working for that site, and I'll miss it. Er... if you happen to know anyone who needs a freelance writer, send them my way, would you?

Yay!!! Followed by Boo!!!

Hooray on a happy turkey-day--
boo on the blueyonder news...
what will happen to the lovely L-from-hell humorous collections of links? can they be archived or find a new home here on your LJ or something? do let us know how they may be found on the interwebnet after February...

Just returned from Hot-lanta ourselves; everyone we visited was sick, and now so is the dear spouse. I think his TA may have to cover his classes tomorrow, for he is nearly without voice.

I am trying manfully (womanfully?) to avoid contracting the Creeping Crud that all others have fallen to. But it is probably already incubating in my innards. Ah well.

I do hope you avoid the Crud-- keep popping the vitamin C, eh what?

I am sad :-( - I just started following your column at blueyonder and I've enjoyed it. I do hope you find another venue!

Relating to your graffiti column - my pal drhaggis of [livejournal.com profile] slashboing found a nifty piece in our town recently:

You're so lovely and kind to say so! There'll be a few more columns published, I hope-- I'm commissioned through December at least.

And on the graffiti-- it's so good to know they're out there. Like seeing the cavalry appear over the hill!

That is sad news about blueyonder! I loved reading your columns.

I have been in a funk and have now caught whatever Mike had. I really need to get out of the house.

The battery on my phone is defunct-- so if you tried to call, it's possible I didn't get it.

When I feel well, let's do something. I feel a serious funk coming on-- the kind where I just go incommunicado. Meh.

I hope you are having a great time with your houseguests! xoxo

I left a few messages and texts while I was in London over the weekend...was worried when didn't hear from you that I'd upset you in someway that I'm too insenstive to have realised. I can be monumentally clueless. If I have, please tell me, so I can be mortified and apologise.

Sad not to have seen you this trip as it's been a bloody age.

No! Goodness-- you've done nothing!1 I'm so sorry-- I think I may be fighting a mild depression. I saw your messages on my phone yesterday. When I get like this, it's so stupid, I isolate myself terribly.

I hope I didn't make you worry. I'm sorry I didn't get to see you. Hopefully I can see you soon!

xx

Oh love, I'm sorry about the funk. And the cold. Yes, let's definitely get together when you're back in the saddle. I think we all have those moments when we just need to go to ground for a while; I know I do. Feel better soon.

Was fab spending time with you both. I get Liza-withdrawal when I don't see you often enough. Wish Speedy lived closer!

Twas a fab Thanksgiving, delicious food, plenty much thank you for hosting. Feeling a bit mizz and moochy to be back home, in the cold, with no-one to play with.

Have put tons of stuff up on [livejournal.com profile] tubewhore last night and will do [livejournal.com profile] tea_and_crumpet later for the Kandy Tea Room. Must dig out the cow pictures I've taken recently and make him a postcard.

As soon as you know your flights, let's sort of December visiting schedule - tea party here on the 12th if you can make it...we can do corsetry stuff, and you can take Speedy'd other one over with you in time for Chrimbo.

Hey lovely! Glad you got home OK. It was so lovely to spend time with you this weekend!

I hope to book my flight today, and when I have, we can plan some evil plans.

Hmmm, maybe this time LJ will let me post, and not spit out weird error messages. Anyways... WAAAH! I wish I lived closer, too. Am also feeling mizz and moochy (not sure exactly what that means, but it's so descriptive, I've nicked it anyhow) what with being home, jetlag, and readjusting to work life. Hope you have a lovely tea party on the 12th... hoist a crumpet for me!

Sorry I couldn't be there, and sorry about Blueyonder - what an utter pain. Is the Pokemon sorted and stowed for new horizons?

Power lunch next week?

There shall be lunch. It shall be powerful. Oh yes.
