06:59 Why were (are?) so many people getting stuck in traffic in Reading yesterday? Noone seems to be mentioning the reasons! #
09:46 Snoooooow! So pretty up here in Triangle Towers. #
14:29 My little fall yesterday seems to have messed up my body. Dear Santa, new one please. #
14:32 Is this the creepiest tree topper ever? #evilxmasangel twitpic.com/unal0 #
18:20 Dear ice. Fuck off. Dear Bristol CC. Grit the fucking pavements. #
19:10 Finally watching the last episode of Glee. The photographer is Kripkie from BBT! He doesn't talk like that! #
20:12 Incredibly fucked off with everything. OK, not quite everything. Most things. 90% of things. #
20:28 As stupid as it sounds, this video make me laugh [bit.ly/4DyQng @hellybellybutt does dance like that. #
20:34 Sorry everyone for being a giant bitch this week (more than usual). Normal @hayles-ness will resume soon. #
20:42 OK, festive(ish) song - bit.ly/4u2OKq - I am linking this purely for the tiny bit of Busted in the video. #

Band Aid 20 – Do They Know It’s Xmas

Reasons why this video is amazing:

The look of GLEE on Daniel Bedingfields face at the thought of working again.
Sugababes with 66% original members
Tom from Keane looks a lot like James May (I HAVE ONLY JUST REALISED)
All the bands and singers that were like OMG IMPORTANT back in 2004, and I had actually forgotten about now
BUSTED
- The look of boredom on Charlie from Busted’s face. Cheer up you giant eyebrowed man.

09:12 Despite going to bed at half 3, was wide awake at 7. Thanks body clock! #
09:14 Still stuck in Bath. I predict a day of cleaning and sorting things in a desperate bid to avoid thinking about things. #
10:02 i miss my mum. 4 years, it's still not any easier (but would I want it to be?) #
11:27 Having to open up Photoshop on my laptop to edit a PDF, because my agency is one of those who still requires timesheets to be faxed. #
15:07 It is so wrong that I wish I were working today instead of still bring in bed. #
18:34 I am in the Apple store and am stuck between two geeks. You would think this would be good, but I need food. #
20:50 Lovely (but unexpected) long weekend with @nixgeek. Feel bad for him, have been in a really sad shit mood all weekend. ALSO I HAD NO TEA. #
22:49 Does anyone know if #firstbristol buses are running tomorrow? I'm not looking forward to walking to work! #

This weekend I have been in a really meh mood because I couldn’t make it up to Chester for the festive shenanigans with these girls

(l to r) Gemma, Rachael, Helen and me. Check out the 90’s styles!

Its also four years today since my mum died.

Steph, Mum and I at some random wedding

Oh, and I ended up taking the day off work because I couldn’t get back to Bristol from Bath last night because there was SNOW.
More amusingly, I took one step onto some ice, and fell straight on my arse. Oh dear. I am so graceful.

(am very grateful to my friends that have sent good thought messages to me, and to the boy, for having to put up with me this weekend moping about)

Oh No Yo! Sushi

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:04:31 GMT

Originally published at ceriselle.org. Please leave any comments there.

I love sushi. So its kinda obvious that I like Yo! Sushi. As with any high street chain, you know what to expect, you know you wont get any nasty surprises, and you can expect the level of service to be quite decent.

I recently went to London, and had a bit of time to kill before my train back to Bristol so headed over to the Yo! Sushi concession in Paddington Station.
Let me start this review by saying that I understand that this is a stall mostly used by people grabbing a bento style box on the way past. So its not going to be as good for eating in as my local branch in Cabot Circus, but at least I can grab a few yummy things off the belt, right?

Well, no. Considering that it was 3pm on a Friday afternoon, the belt was poorly stocked. I assumed that given the time of day, more people would be doing the same as me – grabbing a late lunch whilst waiting for a train home. The branch was quite empty of people eating in though – that should have been a sign, but perhaps other people were put off by the lack of food.

So, if the food was rather lacking, maybe the great service made up for it. Definatly not. There were two people waiting on, a guy who seemed to be the manager, and a woman who seemed more interested in talking to some friends of hers that had sat at the bar than acutally serving people. She was rude and abrupt, not only to myself, but to the other diners around me.
I’ve been visiting Yo! Sushi since I found it randomly in London in 2002, and was really pleased when the Cabot Circus and Cribs Causeway branches opened (previously I’d have to travel to Birmingham to get a sushi fix!). Although the service in those branches isn’t what I had come to expect from previous visits to the Trafford Centre or Bullring branches, we always have a good time.

Whenever I am out shopping with friends, and they ask where to go for lunch, my first choice has usually been Yo! Sushi, but I’m so put off recommending them now, I’d rather go to McDonalds!

Blokes, Beachyness and Big Ass Cocktails!

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:04:09 GMT

Originally published at ceriselle.org. Please leave any comments there.

On Thursday 3rd Dec, Zoe and I were invite to a “girls night out” as part of the whole Uncover Aussie thing. The night out was held at Mahiki in Mayfair, London.

For two non-London girls, this trip was far too exciting. I got the train to London after an agonising morning at work and ended up meeting Zoe at Earls Court. We hopped on the next tube to Kensington, and checked into our hotel. An aborted hunt for food ended up with trips to Tesco and Costa for some room picnic food and watching Friends on the TV. We lazed about for a bit until we realised we were going to be late, then lazed a bit more.
Thankfully, we weren’t the only ones late, as we met with Charlotte from Lipglossiping and her friend Vicky, who were also staying at the Hilton. Eventually we made it to Mahiki, and did a bit of cheesy posing.

Mahiki is a beachy themed bar, with bamboo and exotic cocktails everywhere. We had a chap serving us whilst wearing just a pair of trunks (although everyone has mentioned this, and said they weren’t perving at him, no one has complained so far that there was a half naked man serving us!) At one point, we had him bringing us random cocktails that we had ordered by colour.

There was also a magician which I thought sounded a bit cheesy at first (much like the above pose!) but I really enjoyed the card tricks that Alex performed whilst sitting at our table.
Nic of PixiWoo was doing makeup in a corner of the room – I have to admit, I didn’t really know who she was, not being a make up wearing sort of girl.
(Sample conversation whilst getting ready:

Z: “Will this powder stuff stop me going red after a drink” (powder stuff being Maybelline mineral powder)
H: “Meh, try it.”

We are not make up bloggers if you hadn’t guessed.)

The cocktail that everyone seems to have been raving about is the Treasure Chest, a liqueur filled chest with fresh fruit and flowers on top, which then had a bottle of Moet poured on top and straws stuck in so we could share. This cost £100, which is pretty insane when I think about it! (Delicious though!)

This is not the treasure chest, obviously, but shots of a yummy peachy cocktail.

We ended up having to move upstairs, where more treasure chests and pretty pink cocktails with orchids in were consumed, which may or may not have led to some pretty epic dancing to some uber cheesy choons. (It was that cheesy I said choons)

We grabbed a taxi back to the hotel at some time around midnight or 1am – we were having so much fun I didn’t notice the time!

One thing that amused me is that someone asked Zoe and I what sort of thing we blogged about, and we said “random crap” to which they replied “ah, lifestyle bloggers then!”. Yes, yes I am one of those. I think.
It was so fab meeting so many new people, and my first night out in London was amazing! Many thanks to the awesome guys at 1000Heads – they seemed to be having just as much fun as we were!

Going back to the old school drunken posing, the point.

Photos shamefully stolen from 1000Heads Flickr Set and Zoe’s Flickr Set.

21:43 Cup o tea then bed I think, because I am actually 50 years old. #
22:07 Having one of those "I miss my best friends, especially @hellybellybutt" moments. Thankfully I get to see the ho-bags next weekend! #

Can you even truly be anonymous online?
Recently, Belle de Jour (a long time favourite read of mine, ever since the blog first started) was compelled to “come out” to a broadsheet newspaper to prevent someone else from her personal life “outing” her to a lower quality paper (the politest thing I’ve ever said about the Daily Mail*) After so many years of anonymity, it turned out that the ex-call girl was (at the time) a struggling graduate who now works as a scientist at the hospital around the corner from my office. The most unusual thing I find from this story is that she stayed anonymous for so long.
However, there are some bloggers who (so far) have stayed anonymous. Liberty London Girl (another good read) has been blogging for about 3 years as “the anonymous thoughts of an English fashion editor in Manhattan“. Whilst she doesn’t directly promote who she is on the blog, this description doesn’t seem to leave much to the imagination if you moved in the same circles.
But maybe that’s the trick. If you’re not happy about linking your real name to your blog, then don’t, but if you’re writing about something out of the usual, something “scandalous”, then anonymity may be a luxury with a time span.
Until recently, I never used my (fairly unique) surname on my site or Twitter. Back in t’day when I first started blogging (oh Livejournal, those were the days of invite codes and not actually knowing anyone), I hid most personal details about myself – right down to my own first name. I had over protective friends who would warn me never to mention anything that could identify me – even things like main roads near my house.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised that not only is it a good idea to link my name to the things I do (it doesn’t really say much for my blogging, tweets, photos etc if I’m not willing to admit I made them!) but since my name is unusual, my friends can find my stuff if they want to. (I’ve seen the stats, my name often pops up in my search logs). Also, I want the things I’ve said in the last few months to be top of the search lists, not something I wrote years ago.
Obviously this is a personal thing, but if I can in some way control how I appear when my name is Googled, then that can only be a positive thing!
Having said all of that, it is of course a good idea to be careful about exactly what you do put online. Do you really want to end up on sites like Lamebook? Or even worse, be Dooced?

* Back when I was in Sixth Form, I studied Media Studies. We had to take a newspaper into every class, but if you took the Daily Mail, you would be kicked out of the class. The teacher was happy to have any other sort of paper – even The Sport – but would not have the Daily Mail in his classroom.

As we approach my mums anniversary, I can’t help but think more about the random things she loved. One of these odd things was Jeremy Clarkson.

When I was younger, my Dad would work away from home quite a lot. This was pretty crap when we were growing up, because we only saw him at the weekends. But after a few years of him working in Chester, we loved it when he started getting jobs in places like Little Rock, Bilbao and Belfast (exotic locations, I’m sure you’ll agree) because it meant that Mum didn’t have to make proper dinners every night and my sister and I could have chips-ding, curry-ding* or anything else-ding we could find in the freezer.
My mum would video certain shows for my dad, like all the soaps he claimed to dislike (but would always watch, and still does…) and of course, Top Gear.

Back in the day, Top Gear wasn’t the cool, amusing show it is now. There was no Hamster, no Captain Slow and definitely no Stig.
Instead we had Tiff Needell and Quentin Wilson. Who are much less eye-candyish. (Believe me, I do not find any of the Top Gear presenters attractive [besides the Stig of course] but I know some people do. Ew.)
We would watch the show, because you couldn’t watch a different channel to the one you were taping (We were such a technological house. We only had 4 channels until we bought a Freeview box in 2005.) And Mum would sit there with us and inform my sister and I that Jeremy Clarkson was our new Dad.
Ew.

* For those not in the know, anything with the suffix “-ding” in the Constantine household means a microwave meal, since the microwave would go ding…well, I’m sure you get the idea.

One of my favourite new shows is Glee, a musical teen comedy-drama (I refuse to write dramedy, comedrama or any other amalgamation of the two). Its about a high school “show choir” or “glee club” (anyone else kinda glad we don’t have those in this country? No? Just me?) set in Ohio.
I’m trying to think what else I can say to persuade you to watch it, but its probably best if you see the trailer first.

The songs in each episode are a good balance between chart hits and older tracks. I love the mash ups, in particular Mr Schusters mash up of “Don’t Stand So Close” and “Young Girl” (works surprisingly well I think!)

Glee is going to be shown in the UK on E4 early next year, but the pilot will be shown at 9pm on Tuesday 15th December. Which is the episode with Don’t Stop Believing. You can see why I love it.

07:16 Slept so much last night, but still tired. This is just wrong. #
08:11 Getting the "early" bus so I can get breakfast. No dinner = so hungry I nearly ate my shampoo this morning. #
08:14 Where can I get a giant cup of tea and some grease on the Triangle? Even a cream cheese and salmon bagel sounds good right now. #
14:18 Woooo! Daddy is working again! (after 11 months off!) #
14:44 It's kinda sad that the most exciting part of my day so far is the epic sandwich I made for lunch. #
17:51 Good news: have work for next 3 months. Bad news: it's still doing auditing. #
18:45 In new house. Max has done a ridiculous amount of moving! #
19:33 Have not been in house more than an hour and a half, and have already started inviting people to the housewarming. #
20:44 People need to send me their emails so they can bring me alcohols. (Also known as being invited to the housewarming) #
21:44 Unpack, or watch something on the millions of channels we now have. I know what I should do. #
21:56 Things I can't help singing along to: the Toys R Us ad, American Dad and Family Guy themes, Bad Romance #
22:08 I have only just realised that the Lily Allen song sounds so familiar because it samples Shine by Take That. #
22:26 I still really want this bath: bit.ly/7lyQCe (its HUGE. I should have got in it in the shop.) #
22:28 THERE IS GOING TO BE A SPECIAL SMASH HITS ISSUE ALL ABOUT TAKE THAT *dies* #
22:39 Just saw a vlog of last Thurs. Could only manage a minute (out of 10!) of the jumping/cutting about. Think I'll stick to normal blogging,ta. #

There’s A Magical Place…

Forget the Coca Cola advert, for me, Christmas is all about the Toys R Us advert, with my sister and I singing along (which annoyed the CRAP out of our mum. She had this thing against reciting adverts. But I can’t help it!)

(for those who have asked, move has gone bloody well so far, we are internetted up in new house. However I am still in old flat to avoid the chaos during the week since I’m still working)

06:51 Woke at half 4, and seemed to only get to sleep at 10 to alarm clock. Happy Tuesday! #
08:01 New Wordpress/iPhone v2 app (a separate download for some reason) is much nicer than the old version. Still free :) #
08:18 I feel so much better wearing my usual skirt and thick tights for work instead of slouchy trousers. I like being ladylike for a change! #
08:21 #firstbristol 54 late as usual. I think I'd die of shock if it were on time for a whole week. #
08:27 #firstbristol 54 "only" 10 mins late. On a road that is mostly bus lane. #
08:48 The lady sitting next to me smells f bleach. Which of course is preferable to the previous person sitting nextto me who smelled of poo. #
19:13 Erm...someone stole my house... twitpic.com/sp0dg #
19:50 Lovely, my iPhone is refusing to make phone calls again. Really good when you're alone in a flat and there are odd noises downstairs :/ #
20:00 I have no food and no energy to buy food. Also nothing to eat food with. I am drinking tea from a bowl. It's like being at uni again #
20:01 Very very grateful to Max, and his little squad of helpers for doing all the actual movig stuff, I just have my bedroom to do. #
21:30 Going to bed early, feeling the start of mehness. #

00:32 Feh, meh and bleh. Love Sundays lately, but the dread from 8pm onwards about work is just shit. #
00:39 Also,have had 3 messages from friends this weekend asking why my relationship status on Facebook hasnt changed.Really?Are we in high school? #
00:48 Also, what's the etiquette on such status changes? Debretts doesn't cover this yet. #
00:58 Marvellous, @debretts is actually on Twitter. Love their Etiquette For Girls book, gorgeous pictures. #
06:32 Argh, forgot I had hurt myself yesterday, so of course when I got out of bed, I hit the same bit again. Ow ow ow. #
08:24 Ooh, dirty looks from all the women sitting on the back seat of the bus, just cause I asked if I could sit in an empty seat. #
08:40 Would people on the bus appriciate a rendition of Poker Face this morning? I want to sing :/ #
14:07 The amount of people commenting on FB about my status change is fucking ridiculous. But amusing. #
17:53 Can people in the office not say things like "[boss] has been riding me hard about [task]" because it makes me giggle like a child. #
17:54 Also, don't day these things to make me giggle then glare at me for being immature. I am immature sometimes! #
18:31 Louise has joined in the comment fest on FB with "Do not fear people....the wife has given her approval of him!!" *sigh* #
19:41 Can someone do my list of chores pls kthxbi x #
20:22 Made it to bedroom: win. Lying in bed because it's cold and I still have ow: fail. Overall? Lazy bitch isn't moving house at this rate :( #
21:39 FFS, families are so ANNOYING. Need something to hit Dad and Steph with. #
21:46 Wardrobe is now empty. Yay! Except all I can think of is that I need new dresses to fill it. #
22:02 Feeling slightly embarressed to find a pair of black satin shoes with matching bag, worn once. Oops. #
