So I was fed up and annoyed by stuff everything in the world. So I decided to be a bit different. So now I’m a bit more smiley and happy and fluffy and stuff like that. Heh. Last week was a bit icky. Had broken aircon at work for most of it, didn’t do much other than toodle home and feel shitty. Ended up being poorlysick on Friday and so spent the day not doing very much at all. Tom msn’d to call me a skiver, so in revenge I’m going to make all his sim events crap. Slept lots.
pretty pretty pic Tues I did dinner at Wings with Justin to talk about the boating thing. Sorta managed to talk about it...heh. Will do some more thinking and then book things later in the week I think. We were both on our bikes, so I cycled back to the Greenwich foot tunnel with J when he was heading home and then cycled round the other side and took some pretty pretty photos. Friday also saw the arrival of my new B5 script book, which was interesting as it talked about the period of time between Seasons 4 and 5 of B5 and Claudia Christian’s departure. My 4gig SD card also arrived, which is rather good, now I can put movies and stuff onto my cards as well as the entire of my CD collection I’m thinking about doing an amusing photo for flickr... Saturday I was feeling substantially more human. Chatted to Lloyd a bit, he’d been having trouble with his computer and then it started being dead on startup so wanted some advice. Told him to find someone gullible with a car who might give him a lift over with it. Decided, as it was lovely, that the barbecue should be a go. Then chatted to Ulf who informed me he’d double booked me. Bah. Decided on the “not leaving the flat” option and gave him the option to come here, but he wouldn’t do it. Bought some bits and bobs from the butcher (they do 3 trays of meat for a fiver, got barbecue style chicken, chinese style chicken and chicken fillets). Bought more bacon from them as their bacon is WAY nicer than supermarket shite. And some cumberland sausages too. Popped into Woolies and bought a barrel barbecue as well, as they’re pretty small and they were half price. Going to take it camping as well I think. Rounded up a few people for the barbecue, tho it wasn’t quite as big as I’d hoped. Ah well. We ate food, the chinese style chicken looked suitably vile in the binbag (bright red) as to scare a few people into thinking it was blood. OllieCook brought a friend of his, Ben, with him, who I recognised from Ku...as did Mogs, who did a pretty good impression of a small cat on heat Ben and Ali were there too, which was nice, as I’ve not seen them in aaages. And Peter turned up as well. Made burgers, which worked well. Although I didn’t really have enough meat to do them properly so some were a funny size. They all buggered off leaving an incredibly fluffydrunk mogs and myself (and Ben for a short time). We continued drinking and for some reason ended up critiquing bi porn. No actual clue why... Bed at 7am. Urg. Up Sunday and decided to go out and buy a new keyboard and stuff, mine’s kinda ok but very very old, plus it’s not black and I need a black one for my PC to look hip an gangsta, innit. Wandered round Wilkinsons too, but nothing really caught my eye. Ended up at Spitalfields trying to find a windchime, which I totally failed at. Still, nice food, nice pretty things to look at. It was heaving. The robots are back at the art exhibiton place, which is cool. Found no windchimes. Bah. Headed to tesco to buy stuff for dinner and then to the dodgy music shop in Liverpool St station for some CDs (best of Nyman, best of Sandie Shaw, Best of New Order, some dodgy Nick Cave stuff). Brief detour via a sauna (cough) and then home. Had some cool ideas for freakcity, failed entirely to find the motivation to do any of them though. Bah. Must book camping this weekend. G
