Musings on a world I am no longer sure about

Tuesday March 16th, 2004 at 19:19pm

Stopped off in Shepherd’s Bush for a sneaky KFC. Flat and watery coke, dry chicken, no nice bits...that’ll teach me. Bought salad for my sandwiches tomorrow though so not entirely naughty of me...Caught the leader on the daily_mail and was amused. In a break from its usual shoddy journalism it read “Why do so many women not undress in front of their man with the light on?”. Guess they’ve taken on board the years of criticism, bitten the bullet and decided to start asking the questions that *really* matter... Central line appears to be a little stoppy-starty tonight. Bah. I just wanna be home now....Only at Marble Arch : ( Must email the pTunes people about the crashes when using Plucker...they’re a pain in the arse. Grr. Watched the new Battlestar Galactica at the weekend. Why does everything have to be our fault in Sci Fi these days? We didn’t create the Cylons, they attacked us after we helped those whom they wished to subjucate. Balthar wasn’t misled, he was our betrayer, etc. Crappy plot littered with vast plotholes, crappy CGI (even if it was done by the Firefly people) and *really* crappy acting...They’ve turned a fight for the survival of mankind into Invasion of the Bodysnatchers...Only we already know who they all are. James didn’t seem very impressed with either version...tho I was glad to watch the original...I was so young when I first watched the original that most of it’s subtleties went over my head. Great lines like “what’s a warrior to do when he’s lost the big one? Go out and try win some of the little ones”, and the speech at the end, which I love: “Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, Galactica, leads a rag tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest for a shining planet, known as Earth...” Ah well. They don’t make ’em like they used to... James wasn’t even impressed about the nod to Galactica in the A-Team credits as a Cylon walks past Dirk Benedict...

Daffy (clicky)
Daffy
017 (Small).jpg Took some sunset piccies on the way out...will see how they came out when I get home...Daffodils...mmm : ) Have some updates to do to the KHRP site...been riots and stuff apparently...doesn’t sound good - and predictably the media is ignoring it. Will attempt more FC2 as well...bleh. Read a whole chunk of stuff about Angel “Hole in the World” and “Shells”...had no idea that they were so deep - other than feeling unsettled and that I was watching unique television once again...a feeling I’ve not felt since Firefly... Speaking of which, Firefly’s casting notes have gone out, detailing who we can expect to see in “Serenity”. Damn does it sound good...

Work work work...

Tuesday March 16th, 2004 at 12:09am

Worried about the large gap between designs and implementation in the code I’m getting from the developers. Am making do as much as I can but it’s gonna be tricky. This *should* just be a simple job of integrating JSP with HTML, but as the JSP is wildly different from the HTML...it’s all a bit odd really : S Failed to get much done last night on FCv2 - will have another bash tonight after I’ve done Rochelle’s updates... Long chat with Mum last night about life, the universe and everything. They’re gonna come in a few weeks for photography fun - will see if we can get up City Hall or somewhere good like that. Am tempted to see if it’s possible to visit the top of 1 Canada Square with my camera some time...I would *love* to take pics up there after work one day or something but not sure I’ll be allowed... Omelette and sausage for dinner last night. How classy am I? Have discovered an even quicker way to work. I am going to attempt it tonight...and I’m gonna try and leave a bit earlier today too so I can get some decent development done tonight. Am feeling less run down now, less tired. Not sure if this is the dodgy drug things or if it’s just that I’m trying to eat more sensibly again and cut out the junk food. Time will tell I need to get my bike back though and use it : (
