I love the randomness of the “next blog” feature, especially when I’m aimlessly meandering around blog-land, with no purpose or destination in mind.
Here’s a feminist blog I stumbled across I thought I’d share…

Every year I make resolutions and, like so many others, very rarely keep any of them. Maybe because I focus on abstract things: like trying to be more organised and not procrastinate so much. Because yeah that’ll happen.
Going through last year’s list, though, I was able to tick off a couple of more tangible things: like getting a new job. Setting goals that have an end result, rather than being an ongoing commitment, seems to work better for me.
So this year, instead of procrastinating about uni and missing the enrollment deadlines, I’m going to get online and enrol in the whole year’s subjects in one go. Maybe tomorrow.
Hope you all have a happy new year, and may all your resolutions be achievable.

Dove has shaken up the advertising world by creating ads that focus on “real women”. They are now launching a contest for real women, their consumers, to create their own ads.
The winning ad will be shown at the Academy Awards in 2007. It will be interesting to see the “real woman” they select as the winner.

So it’s that time of year again. I’ve always loved Christmas and New Year, mainly because I come from a massive family and it’s an excuse to get together with good company, eat too much food and give away pressies you’ve spend hours trying to find. When I was little, Christmas came around once a year - the day flew by but the rest of the year was such a drag.
It must be a sign of my ageing because this year it’s come around so damn quickly. I told one of my grandmother’s it was Christmas next weekend and she asked me if I was joking. It seems as if Christmas came from no where. Suddenly there are Christmas carols playing everywhere, parties to go to, lights flashing, a tree to decorate and money to be spent, but I’ve been left feeling like it was only been a short while since I did it last.
Needless to say this means I have left all my shopping to the last minute. So I’m sitting here writing this, procrastinating, because today I have to go and start my shopping. And I fear there are thousands just like me, which means the closest I will get to the shops this week is driving relentlessly around the carapark.
Wish me luck.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone.
Does anyone know a good shop where I can buy some time?
