Twice Ten for 2010

Ten Resolutions:

Make and stick to a cleaning schedule with Mat.
Stick to the budget we calculated so that hopefully we will end the year better off than we start it.
Keep up with karate.
Use manic time and google calendar more effectively to keep track of my commitments.
Miss less deadlines.
Walk the dogs at least once per day and don't make Mat do it out of laziness.
Get another tattoo.
Finally get around to getting married.
Speak at Conference.
Use the library more effectively.

And ten predictions:

The election will be in May.
Turnout will be up on the last three, but not as high as 1992.
The Tories will win it.
They'll make a rotten useless government.
Rupert Murdoch's attempts to charge for access to the Sun's website will end in miserable failure, just like his purchase of MySpazz, and everyone will point and laugh.
There will be more extreme weather events in 2010. Both global warming doomsayers and deniers will use them as "proof" that climate change is/isn't happening.
I will not have enough money to get another tattoo.
Mat and I will, once again, fail to get around to getting married.
I will, once again, chicken out of speaking at conference.
matgb will win dead_pool

Consider yourselves tagged if you want to be.

Tut tut, m'lady. Miss fewer deadlines.

I was going to suggest Bletchley Park as a wonderfully geeky venue for your wedding, but it's so expensive and the set-up looks irritatingly traditional. (I don't know why I've developed such an intense dislike of traditional weddings - it's not like I've even been to once since I was maybe nine or ten.)

Any particular ideas for tattoo designs?

	The venue is the sticking point; I don't want anything involving any form of religion at all. I have lots of ideas for tattoo designs. They're all expensive though. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

I went to a civil partnership (http://purple-pen.livejournal.com/272119.html) at Bletchley Park in 2008, and it was excellent. No hint of religion whatsoever, and very friendly staff who were entirely ready to tailor the ceremony to the couple's requirements. I can put you in touch with them if you want any further information about it.

BTW, I appreciate your link to a light format version of your blog very much, but I think something is slightly wrong with the URL for it. You may need to insert '.html' after the entry number and before the question mark.

	I think you might be right about the coding. And thanks for the info about Bletchley. We really need to just get on with it. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Aside: http://dw-nifty.dreamwidth.org/4930.html Probably useful for you--the format/light one'll work on LJ directly, the sitescheme ones'll work if you change the code to have an LJ sitescheme name (Lynx is one anyway) (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
