Yes, this fell by the wayside. Adulthood got in the way.

Revamp coming soon….it’s time for a change…

Happy New Year! A cheery, upbeat, uplifting song to kickstart your 2011 in the right way:

This looks really cool. Maybe a bit gimmicky, but someone has come up with the idea of having an album in a badge. You wear the badge, displaying the artwork and your love of a band, and you just plug in and play. I want one now!

I was listening to a podcast yesterday that had an interview with John Williams, author of the book, ‘Screw Work, Let’s Play’.

It’s described by The Times as ‘A compelling 10-step escape from corporate life that could spell a rash of resignation letters.’ Another self-help book written by someone who already had it all? I don’t know.

But - the website looks interesting - www.screwworkletsplay.com - and John runs monthly nights in London. You can sign up for forthcoming evenings at www.scannercentral.co.uk.

Aha! So busy have I been (that I seem to be talking like Yoda) over the past year that I’ve barely blogged about roller derby…cos I’ve been too busy working….and *playing* roller derby.

Festive times are nigh = time off, so I probably do a year in photos of roller derby in forthcoming blog post, but for now, watch this brilliant and brutal compilation of highlights from the 2010 WFTDA South Central tournament in the States. There are some flipping kick-ass moves in this.

I’d like to point out that I cannot skate a quarter as well as any of these, but boy, would I love to be able to!!
