If I were a slug, I’d be toast

I’m suffering from Marmite overload. My mouth is rebelling.

I didn’t think it was possible, but I have quite simply had too much marmite on toast over the last few days, and my poor gums are screaming for mercy.

Bad-cop in the deli-from-helli has launched a personal and vociferous attack on my tastebuds this week. Every slice of toast she makes me is slathered with thick black goo – but I don’t complain, because I’m just amazed and pleased to be getting marmite and bread in any combination whatsoever, given that she usually offers me chicken salad on a toasted bagel or ricotta and hummus on ciabatta in response to my morning toast request.

But of course marmite on toast for breakfast is one thing. Marmite on toast for dinner is quite another: how very student! And marmite on toast in bed is a definite no-no – even if someone else makes it for you: the crumbs get everywhere.

By way of explanation…

This is an individual post, which may not be very recent. For the latest stuff on meish dot org, please visit the main page.

By the way, I'm female. It doesn't have much impact on what I write about, or how I write, but I thought I'd point it out because so many people who link to this site seem to assume I'm male.

The clue's in the name: Meg. Like all those other female Megs.

What’s all this, then?

This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
 
The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.

Important note #1

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

Important note #2

Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

Important note #3

While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

You still here?

Oh.
