I appear to have boughted a new bike. Evens it gets nicked in the first year of me owning it. At work we’re members of the tax free cycle scheme, so you buy a bike and the repayments are taken out of your salary before tax over the course of a year. Which is pretty great for me I reckon www.specialized.no/index.php?cat=70586 It’s a bit fucking nice it is. Accidentally watched Pan’s Labrynth and then followed it with Labrynth. Why? Because we had to, really. Pan’s Labrynth is very beautiful and frankly horrible in bits. Like all good fairy tales. I really liked it lots and even TJ got over his initial dissapointment at it being subtitled and got into it. I’d forgotten how amusing and silly Labrynth is. Watched the making of feature too, was a little disturbed by David Bowie effusing about Jennifer Connelly’s beauty, he’s like 90 and she was 14 or something, but hey. Little known fact, every single person who made Labrynth had a beard. Some even had two. Miles popped over Tuesday evening, I’m lending him one of my baby laptops as he’s puterless at the moment. Silly Miles left his laptop in Edinburgh, see, because it wasn’t working right, forgetting that clever Scott can mend computers... Stayed up too late as we decided that it’d be fun to watch the cartoon version of Lord of the Rings. Gave up being awake and collapsed into bed at about 1am. Not so good considering I was on an early that day and had gotten up at 6am. Ulf came to visit yesterday as he was bored and not working again until Friday morning, so we decided to do XXL on a Wednesday for shits and giggles. It was immensely dire. Collapsed on a leather sofa for most of it and watched the live action porn unfold before us before giving up at around 12:30 and heading back home. Via Beirut or something because we took a wrong turning. Ah well. Ulf has nice leather seats in his car. I want one. Leather seat, that is, not Ulf... Had a meeting in the work “Ideas room” thing today. It’s like a little living room with huge plasma TV, sound system, X Box 360, Wii, Sky box, huge widescreen Dell, leather sofas, rugs. It’s very odd. This company is at times amazing. Also got invited to the company christmas do, told to invite friends too. Fun! Found some horrible bugs in the groups stuff that I’d not noticed. They’re now fixed, people can make public groups again. I made Cyclegays for shits and giggles. Hopefully get some interest and then will organise a bike ride in London for a few of us, punctuated by pub stops or picnics or something. I’ll probably make a facebook one as well... My “Campaign to blame Anita Roddick’s death on the McCann’s” group seems to be doing quite nicely. TuffCub accused me of being tasteless when I put “Scott is wondering who to fly his plane into” as my status on Sept 11th. Psch. I’m lovely, me. Been chatting to someone called Liam rather a lot of late. He moves to London on Saturday and I’m being all exciteable as to actually meeting him. I suspect he’ll like the freaks as he’s been all the way through quotebot and already decided he wants to marry Sunin. Or something like that This weekend will mostly be pretending to code I think. Tonight I’m meant to be going for a beer with someone who hasn’t texted me back, so I’m sulking. I might actually have an early night as I’m currently half asleeeeeep. Bah. Need to fix my facebook app. Well, by fix I mean “rewrite in dotnet”. And then create an amazing freakcity quote one. we’re looking at adding some new and exciting stuff to www.theElders.org — I’ve requested that we do a facebook app, then I can get paid for messing about with it. Which’d rock rather a lot
