GTD with RememberTheMilk

I really like how RTM spans across platforms and you can have your tasks synced everywhere without much hassle. There was only one problem – every time I’d try and get organized pretty quickly I’d get my tasks into a state of complete chaos and struggle to get things arranged in a sensible manner. Fortunately [...]

Influential Women?

Joanna — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:43:29 +0000

Just got some update/newslettery type email from Klout… Right at the top they had a section with “Influential Women”. Being female and proud that’s were my eye was immediately drawn. Unfortunately they only had this to offer: LadyGaga Rihanna Katy Perry To put it mildly, the most irrelevant type of people for me personally. Considering [...]

Kitty Update!

As I have no time for anything else at least I can update my blog with some kitten photos. Should be enough of a distraction to any reader to not notice the apparent lack of new posts

Jack & Sunny from Coonaria

Joanna — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:42:37 +0000

Our home will soon be full of cat fluff again. We were missing Barney and kitty company, and we didn’t want to make our next cat lonely, thus we are getting two Maine Coon brothers – Coonaria Jack the Lad and Coonaria Rising Sun – shortened to pet names Jack & Sunny. Just a quick [...]

Christmas Decorations

Christmas is coming! I found myself slightly surprised by the Holiday this year, just cannot believe we are almost there. For the first time in England though, I’m not spending it at someone else’s place, I’m not in the middle of redecorating or going back home. Thus our new place got decorated. We were going [...]

Living offline

These days Internet seems to be everywhere. You have it on your computers, consoles, even mobiles. Yet still, when moving house getting yourself connected seems almost like mission impossible. Do I really need to wait for the TV to be hooked – 1 week, then the phone line activated (yes, no drilling or cable work, [...]

Hurray Hurray It’s Almost Moving Day!

It’s almost time for our completion on the new flat! Just can’t wait. In the meantime we had our house demo and made a few photos while measuring for the new wooden floor.

Iceage 3 & other 3D movies

Joanna — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 17:17:39 +0000

Image by Skavenger via Flickr I first experienced 3D movies years ago. It was a headache inducing event with those crummy cardboard glasses where one side was green and the other red (if my memory serves me well). The effect was impressive for back then, but definitelly not worth the hassle and the viewing discomfort. [...]

The Taking of Pelham 123

Joanna — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 22:01:24 +0000

Image by Annie Mole via Flickr These days it seem to be harder and harder to find a movie that rather than rely on special effects depends on the actors and people that they play to create the tension and mood. I must say in many ways “The Taking of Pelham 123” really does deliver [...]

The biscuiterian cat

Joanna — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:40:23 +0000

Cats are known for their bossy ways. Most are hungry monsters (even with a full stomach). However for some reason my ginger feline seems to be of the anorectic type. And it’s not just pure fussiness. I dealt with enough cats to know not to give in to a single food type regime, and due [...]
