Isn’t technology wonderful?

Here I am, I’ve just watched Yet Another Doctor Who episode, with a PC on one side (which I’m backing-up, then going to reformat – Muahahaaaa, take THAT Microsoft – for a friend) a Mac on the other, a cat on the chair beside me (all right, he’s not technology, but it’s a nice touch) and to add to the mix, I’ve just been told via a BBC announcement over the end of the episode that I can hear writer Mark Gatisss right now on BBC3 and the champagne lifestyle awaits on The National Lottery Jetset.

Just like being there, ey?

The sun is shining, and it’s a pleasant clement (as opposed to inclement) day for a change.

Pity I’m up here at work.

However, I need the cash to fund my outrageous lifestyle.

Onto other things however, I will inform you of the reasoning for the title of this blog: Lisa 4.0.

• Lisa 1.0 was pre-goth, vaguely boring, still very edgy and somewhat bland.
• Lisa 2.0 was goth Lisa, who was very black but using the fabulous clothing to tell the world to Look but not touch. She liked being allowed to be different, wintertime, the active use of the piss-take (esp being a goth in Camberwell) and Apple Computers; and didn’t like one little bit, blandites, suburbia, loudmouths, naysayers, boredom and bureaucracy.
• Lisa 3.0 was post-goth, still oddly attired (and a winter person in general, mainly because she could dress-up and stuff and that the clothing she owned was far too heavy [wintery anyone] for summertime conditions). She liked being able to dress oddly, wintertime, apple computers; hated summer, the new doctor who, four-wheel drivers, Freaking PCs (both the hardware and the individuals), Microsoft Windows and all that sailed in her.
• Lisa 4.0 is post vipassana meditation, and is very chilled, relaxed and has her circles securely aligned. She likes the new doctor who, bike riding and silent meditation. Nothing bothers her except for bad drivers (whom she forgives as they are obviously SPMs*), and four-wheel-drives and their drivers (and since she has friends with these, she’s had to tone-down her four-letter diatribes about them and their owners). C’est la vie.

So there you are. The explanation, the generalities and the transformation.
