Armitage Weekly Round-up 2016/10

Let’s start with a warning. This is going to be a much longer post than my usual Saturday morning fare. Simply by virtue of little ole Guylty being positively *starved* off the interaction she usual gets through Social Media participation. I know, I know, I’ve been droning on about this. And it’s not only that I…

Mood-Boost Thanks to You

Monday mornings are not the best of times anyway, but some Monday mornings already start badly on Sunday night and set me on the wrong foot. It really was not my intention to start enjoying my two childless weeks with an uncharacteristic rant on Twitter. Should I pull an Armitage and delete my tweet? And…

OT [+ a bit of RA]: Let’s Celebrate Memories

There is a point to remembering. “We live our lives twice – once when it happens, and the second time in our memory.” (Honoré de Balzac) Wise words. If we want to have good memories, we better create *good* memorable moments – to last us through the times when we need to be reminded of…

Choices

This post will enter the annals of “the most difficult to write blogs” and certainly has already won the award for “most revised draft” in the history of Guylty Pleasure. Ten pages of handwritten notes, crossed out, highlighted, asterisked. Countless e-mails BTS with various well-wishing friends, across platforms. A strategic retreat to remote and cellularly…

#BlogIntroChallenge 3: My Usual Blogging Process

Kelly is in the middle of it, Preoccupied has caught up, and Perry has already finished hers – how come Guylty is still fuseling around with question 3??? My usual problem with follow-ups? Nope. RL is to blame. And my puritan stand-offishness when it comes to blogging introspectively. Ok, and the fact that I have…

OT: Happy Spring-Time, Everyone

Whatever you may be celebrating this time of year – Easter, Pessach, or simply just the beginning of spring (autumn, on the other side of the globe…), have a lovely Sunday. Over here, in my neck of woods, it’s Easter, and with my mum over for a visit, we are going to have Easter Sunday…

Happy Christmas To All

Is writing the second Christmas message after last year’s and using this year’s premiere picture for it already the establishing of a tradition? Well, in any case, like last year, I just wanted to wish you a happy Christmas (again) before I am swallowed up by the festivities. I have already received my presents –…

The Hobbit BOTFA Premiere – Part 2 – Hat-trick

Let’s forget the Dunn School of Marketing for a moment. I know what you have been waiting for – the booty. You shall see said booty in this post, accompanied by a few more comments on the whole procedure of the red green carpet. The hat-trick has been done. And yet the third Hobbit premiere…

Updates, Lots of Updates

Have you noticed? WordPress has updated its platform. There is now a new handy “Reader” link in the black menu bar, and as I type, the font of the new post box is very eye-friendly – massive size. Hello to scrolling!!! Tech-Queen Guylty immediately follows suit and offers a number of updates, too. 1. Word…
