Rachey’s Ramblings

I have 7 selves. We rarely agree.

Shooting birds

Friday, June 18th, 2010

The truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction. I was a bit shocked to see today that an execution in the U.S has been carried out by firing squad. Somewhat archaic, no?! But I was even more stumped by the fact that “Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff used the Twitter micro-blogging site to say he [...]

One big mess

Friday, May 7th, 2010

The term ‘hung parliament’ is not literal. Unfortunately. I know nothing about politics. Yanni, who has had me bombarding him with questions all morning, will vouch for that. Yesterday, for example, I made my decision about who to vote for approximately 2 minutes before leaving the house. Fortunately, they hadn’t run out of ballot papers [...]

You’re only as old…

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

The older you get, the older ‘old’ seems to be. Funny quote on the news this week: The report was about teaching maths in schools and the reporter asked a little girl what she thought of the way she was taught. Her answer: “Well. In the olden days I think they used to use paper [...]

Emotional

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

I just watched this video for the disaster in Haiti: I’d heard the song but hadn’t paid much attention to the video before. I sobbed. We are so, so, so fortunate to have what we have. I might try moaning a bit lot less… Current Mood:

Not thinking straight

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Sometimes, you just have to accept that the day isn’t going to work. I cannot think. Although, at the same time, I am thinking too much. That’s what happens when you have 7 selves I suppose. I think I’m a bit zombied after something got into me and I went and gave it some yesterday [...]

The write way

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Before opening your mouth and saying it, it’s sometimes a good idea to write it down. My selves are all over the place today. Our minds are not really attached to what looks like it might be Rachel. It was a really good weekend. But it occured to me that perhaps some of my thoughts [...]

February

Monday, February 1st, 2010

January is over.Smile. It really is a miserable month isn’t it?! But now we are in February. Spring is around the corner. Pay-day comes sooner. So some may wonder why I spent a good hour last night crying about the fact that today is February 1st. The thing is, today is, as most friends will [...]

Some changes

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

If things are getting stale, change something! I was bored today. So I spent a while being a geek: Made my homepage slightly more grown-up, removed some pages that I feel no longer represent me and my 7 selves, and added 2 new ones that do. I wouldn’t bother looking at those pages yet ‘coz [...]

Τελειώνει

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

If you feel sad that something has finished, it’s probably a sign that you should actually carry on. I am not talking about relationships here (note Yanni, before you start ‘encouraging’ me again. ). Rather, I’m talking about hobbies. With running, for example, I feel kind of like I’m letting myself down when I stop [...]
