So I have neglected this ‘ere blog for a while, eh? Well I’m here now and preparing to give it some TLC and more time and attention in general….

So today is a day at home because my body has done a full on FAIL. So to keep my mind off the fact that everything Hurts Like Hell I’ve been amusing myself by reading the debate that Amanda Palmer set off on Twitter about Lady Gaga’s latest offering. Swinging between people accusing Palmer of being jealous, agreeing with her, mocking Gaga or just generally commenting on the state of the music video, the OP has retweeted some of the (no doubt many) responses she recieved and I found it quite entertaining in my addled state…. and all this appears on my main twitter home page interspersed with Gok Wan’s randomness.

In another web mini-world, I’ve seen many people’s status updates expressing their distate at what’s happened with Darling’s 2010 Budget. Most of that has centred around the rise in duty on cider (can anyone explain to me why it’s been treated differently?)

Also unimpressed that pharmacists can still refuse to provide prescribed medication on the grounds of their religious beliefs. Especially seeing as sometimes contraceptive drugs can be prescribed to help relieve health problems! Being told where you could go and get the drug from instead isn’t a fantastic solution if there’s only one pharmacist in the area….

Anyway.

Don’t worry, no spoilers, I’m not going to say a word about the loss of the tenth Dr… I’m a bit late to do that one anyway. Suffice to say I’ve got Doctor Who – The Complete Specials [DVD] on pre-order (yes, I know, fangirl….)

So we’ve got a new year on our hands then. I’ve made some resolutions, I expect to have broken them by the end of the week but hey…

I didn’t realise just how much I needed the time off work we’ve had over Christmas. Unfortunately I’ve already started thinking about everything that I’ve got to do when I go back (which isn’t until Tuesday, because of the Scottish bank holidays) so I can already feel myself tensing up.

You know, I really can’t write anything more coherent than the above paragraphs tonight (or at least, anything The Internets would be interested in hearing). I think I’ll just go watch a bit o’ Bottom.
