Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
God. Christmas an all that shit.
It’s all over at last. Bwahaha. So I’m back to Freakcitying like a bastard (still corrupting data in the database...I can either sift through it all or upsize, upsizing seems the sensible solution. So, whilst on the whole keeping compatibility, I’m coding like a bastard changing all the sql so it works for sql server. A tricky thing to do, but probably worth it.
Friday: left work early. Wandered about on Oxford St. Phoned Chris and arranged to meet up sometime this week. Bought wrapping paper. Bought a chavvy fan for the PC (there’s no HDD light, so I bought an LED fan that doubles as HDD light ) Home via the offy for my last drink of the year.
TJ got back, accidentally got drunk. Ordered a cab for the Swan, but it took 45 mins to get the mile or so it had to travel so ignored it when it arrived as 30 mins drinking time wasn’t really worth it. Hunger struck at about 4am so defrosted chicken bits in microwave and deep fat fried them.
Up on Saturday without too much of a headache. Freakcitied a bit until I had to run off and pick up the video camera I bought from eBay for £34. So, hauled my butt off to Croydon. Trams are fun. They’re like baby DLR trains. But wider.
Picked up the video camera, having got very lost. Accidentally fell into Ikea by mistake on the way home and bought lots of silly things that I didn’t really need. Candles, bedclothes, a slatted blind for photography. Candle holders. More candles. Pillows. Pot pourri. Cardboard bolt together boxes. Giggle.
Home, open the door to find smoke billowing out at me. And a grinning TJ on the sofa. He’d tried this thing called “cooking” that he’d heard about. Basically copying me, but forgetting that he’d deep fried the chicken until it was black. And he’d left the fat on the gas too, but I didn’t find that out until much later. Thank christ on a bike I’d bought pot pourri. Frowned a bit and settled down to watch Cold Comfort Farm which had arrived that morning. Silly
Christmas day was cool. Opened prezzies, a vibrating pillow from Dee, a set of towels from Nanna and Grandpops. Pottered about a bit, wrapped presents, ate bacon, cursed Teej for having done weird things to it (frozen bacon doesn’t like me). Freakcitied. Chatted to Danny, Chris, Nikki, Owen, family, etc. Biked off to Owen’s at about 3:30 where we watched some Heroes and ate loads of yummy food cooked by Jen. Doctor Who was a giggle. Pauline dying was silly. Little Britain was (apparently) funny once. Played with breaking Owen’s PC a bit. Headed home.
Chatted with Danny for an hour or so before bed. In billions of pillows. Heh.
Today I’ve freakcitied and that’s about it. Bought pointless shit from Somerfields and peered at pointless tat in Woolies but that’s all so far. Lloyd’s on his way over because I demand Lloydcuddles. And I’m washing up a bit. How exciting!
Found my handsfree kit and just found my bluetooth thingy so am all happy
