Very Pinteresting Mr Bond

This week I am mainly OBSESSED with virtual pin board site Pinterest.com. But a blogger blogs so here I is.

Seriously though, Pinterest. I 'pinned' an infographic on commonly misused words and in less than a day I had 170 'repins' (like a retweet) and 50 'likes' (like, er, a Facebook Like).

How can we harness the power of pedantry as a force for good? HOW?

Still. Pretty good going activity wise. I've been on Twitter for 3 years and I liken my presence there to lying dead on my desk at work with flys buzzing round my head - ie no-one's noticed.

Though I do seem to have picked up a Croatian stalker/boyfriend called Slobodan. Which is nice.

I read a book and I liked it

My new year resolution to blog once a week has done right up the Swanee but here I am, only 6 weeks late. Ahem. Actually my resolution was to do something I'd never done before once a week. And I've not kept to that either.

Things I like
  • Borgen. God I bloody love this Danish, subtitled TV drama about a woman PM and coalition politics. Really, it's much better than it sounds. Series 2 isn't on BBC4 until the end of the year, I may have to buy a box set....
  • Aerobics. Am still going once a week. It's a miracle.
  • Making a Valentine's card today, aaaaah soppy.
  • Twitter. I right bloody loves it I do.
  • I read a Stephen King novel and I liked it. It's the vice that dare not speak its name.
  • Cooking stuff. I made a very nice chicken tikka ta very much.
