But I have a new TV, new PS3 and new bookshelves. And some Blu-Ray discs. It makes me very happy. Saturday morning my first Blu-Ray disc arrived. Spiderman 3. The horror I popped to Stratford to buy an HDMI cable and then when I returned we had breakfast and settled down for a bit of HD Spidey action. Liam was fairly sure he’d not notice the quality until it started playing and we both sat there pretty amazed at how good it all looked. Then we headed out to meet Chris at the Prince Charles Cinema and watched Southland Tales — critics suck. It was an amazing film, gave the impression of a rollercoaster hurtling towards inevitability and a glimpse of how bad the US could get. So many famous people in it, critics called it confused and disappointing but I have to disagree. As a story about the end of the world it works really really well. Seann William Scott actually does acting, who’d have thought? Even The Rock was good. I headed home whilst Liam and Chris headed out for a coffee, which apparently failed. I was bored so texted Liam at around 9ish to find out he was a bit the worse for weather in Retro. So ended up spending my evening getting more than a little drunken with an everso slightly sozzled Liam. Had deep and meaningful conversations that we probably shouldn’t have had when pissed. Ah well. Bought a large pine bookshelf for my ever expanding DVD collection, the idea being I’d put one either side of the telly as I’d run out of DVD space. My original DVD bookshelf is now working as an actual bookshelf in the hall, with actual books in it. Well, that and a load of old VHS tapes that I need to ebay. I think I might have an eBay frenzy at the weekend...mostly to get rid of old shite that other people would probably want So, immensely hungover, myself and Liam ended up in Lewisham at Argos on Sunday with a flat packed 23kg 1.8m tall bit of wrapped wood. I’m not doing that again, took forever to carry it to the DLR. Attempted to buy a trolley in Woolies but they had none. Walking was no fun. So DIY Sunday ensued, we made a huge mess and it was great fun. Monday, back at work, tired. Got back home and watched lots of The Sarah Jane Adventures and The Sarah Connor Chronicles number 2. Head? Head!? METAL Head?!? Through time?! Did they not even watch the films? Bed earlyish. Decided I’d try and buy a second bookshelf so got up early on Tuesday and packed rope and scissors in my bag. My theory being that the bookshelf, whilst being fantastically heavy, would be tieable to my bike and if not rideable at least pushable. More LTOs at work. Fun. Did some scoping for some new Orange work which I’m going to try and get to do, haven’t done any fun javascript in a while...and also am lobbying for a standards compliant new front end for bits of it. Will see how it pans out. Had a meeting with my line manager a few weeks back, I told him that after a year on Orange I was getting a bit fed up with it all. Am thinking about doing some .NET stuff for a bit too, though not yet sure. I’ve done my java training, all I need now is to book the SCJP exam and take a day off for study the day before and I’ll have a shiny new qualification. So there’s enough to keep me on the java side at a push, I just quite fancy the idea of doing something a bit different I guess. Tuesday evening I popped out to Argos and bought a bookshelf. Tied it to my bike and proceeded to walk home pushing it with little trouble. The fun See flickr for photos... Tonight it’s new Torchwood. It’s still terrible but in a sort of fun way. Not quite used to having a telly yet, getting a little annoyed with it being on constantly so had words with TJ who predictably denied all knowledge. And then proceeded to channel hop for most of the rest of the evening. Le sigh. Going to pick up a new amp and speakers at the weekend, Justin’s party on Sat evening too which I’m going<
