If You Want My Love You Got It
I cannot lie I love me some Cheap Trick and that song ^ was playing when I turned the radio on this morning. It's one of my favs from Cheap Trick. I've been radio silent for a wee while.

Break on through to the otherside …
Man, I'm a sucker for punishment. I picked that book up again last night ... and the butchery got worse. Didn't think it was possible. I'm now fully convinced the author used a word Lexicon, not just a thesaurus but someone elses compiled list of ridiculous words. At first it was hilarious, not gonna lie, … Continue reading Break on through to the otherside …

I won't be mentioning the band … Continue reading But You Don’t Care
Attached to tech?
I am. I have no problem admitting it. Tech is my lifeline. It's how I communicate with my partner every day. It's the only way we survived 18 months apart, and now, we're back to FaceTime and texts because that 5000km (and change) distance requires tech.It's no secret that I love my MacBook. I really … Continue reading Attached to tech?
It’s about relationships …
I woke up this morning to lots of messages about Ellie Conway. Now, as far as I'm concerned, she is the main character in the Byte Series and my very best imaginary friend. That's it. End of story.For years my website has occupied space here. I've talked about Ellie quite regularly over those years and … Continue reading It’s about relationships …
