Not what the Doctor Ordered

As you know I’m a Star Trek fan, it may not surprise that I am also a Doctor Who fan and on Saturday I finally managed to watch the third episode before going onto the fourth one in the evening. The Ood, the starring monsters in this episodes, are among my favourites in the Dr. Who Universe. [...]

Which Star Trek Captain am I?

It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves at some time (possibly)… Well now you can, with what is the final frontier of quizzes! Yes, the more cynical of you may just be sensing that I am only doing this so I can spend the minimum amount of time and effort in a blog because I’ve got lots of work [...]

Pants Design

One week to go of project work and then freedom, and hopefully a good grade for my degree. Fingers-crossed! I’ve never been a believer in suffering for the sake of fashion, but one item that’s got me irked recently are jeans. Now when I say jeans I don’t mean jeans in general, but the ones which [...]

It’s a Sign, I Swear!

I was surfing on the internet (not U.S.A unfortunately yet, maybe after I finish my last essay!) and I found some things of random interest on that marvel of mankind Wikipedia. This week, handsigns! Here’s the link: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestures. The really strange thing is that I found it while researching a hungarian composer, Kodaly (who incidentally has [...]

Another day, another conspiracy…

In Zimbabwe the votes are in, but haven’t been released almost two weeks later. The MDC claim they’ve won the election and judging by the previous statement it could well mean that they are right. Apparently, there are still “anomalies” in the polling data, so an extensive recount is taking place, including alleged seizing of land. [...]

Champions League Post-mortem

Day two since Arsenal went out of the Champions League to Liverpool and I’m still annoyed about it. Yeah, it’s only a game and I wouldn’t quite go as far as Bill Shankly, i.e. ”Football’s not a matter of life and death, it’s much more important than that”, but it’s still upsetting for some reason I [...]

Retroblog 4: Ranting

“Hi there, and welcome to my much anticipated latest blog. I know it’s been 11 long days [one blog in one and half weeks? Wasn't I lazy back in the day?], but if you’re patient enough to read them then you are certainly patient enough to wait for them. I thought today that I would [...]

Testing Testing 1,2,3

Well I was going to post a rant today, but I’m afraid you readers will just have to wait before you have the opportunity (and I genuinely call it an opportunity) to watch me foam at the mouth about a mystery topic. First of all, I, the Great Saundini, have become a prospective Uncle, as [...]
