I went into town today to meet Dad, Lorene, Mandy and Emma for lunch and a bit of shopping.
We had lunch at Scala, I think that’s what it was called, and I had potato and leek soup. It was pretty tasty but I would’ve liked it to be a little thicker, it was very watery. [...]
I finished yet another Doctor Who book, this one was called The Deviant Strain and it was pretty good as well.
One thing annoyed me though, they never explained where or what the aliens were, nor did they give them a name. Enemies in Doctor Who always must have a name, and it must always been [...]
It was payday again today, made almost £200 this week after taxes and NI. Of course I’ll get the tax money back come April so it’ll end up just over £200 I think.
I got my schedule for next week:
Monday: 12-9
Tuesday: 11-9
Wednesday: 6:30-7:30 (Basically I’m off except for the staff meeting for an hour in [...]
I woke up this morning with a killer sore throat, which sucks for two reasons.
1) I was supposed to meet Chris for lunch cos I’ve not seen him in ages and we were gonna have a good chinwag, which is not the best thing for a sore throat. So I’ve had to postpone that which [...]
Lately I seem to be listening to the same music. The Dykeenies, Amy MacDonald, Editors, Snow Patrol. It’s always the same music coming out my speakers.
So I’ve set out to change that. I’m going to pick a new album or two each week and listen to them a lot. Last week it was Alphabeat’s Alphabeat [...]
This week the Games Developers Conference is happening in San Francisco, it’s not really a big thing except for the few announcements that come out of it. It’s mostly about the technical side of games, the new engines and features and generally not very exciting stuff.
However the keynotes usually come with a few announcements, and [...]
I’ve now been waiting three days for this box to turn up so I can send off my 360 to get fixed. Three days. I’ve not had an e-mail telling me how long I should expect before it turned up. If it’s already come then they didn’t leave a note or anything.
I’m really not [...]
I finished Winner Takes All last night, amazing how fast you can read a wee book when you’ve nothing else to do. I think I was reading it for less than 24 hours in all.
It was a good storyline, bit of a naff villain though. But it was better than The Stone Rose anyway [...]
I went to watch Long Way Down today, Amy bought me it for Christmas but I’ve been busy watching Sex and the City till now, only to discover it doesn’t work! Disc 1 doesn’t seem to do anything at all, disc 2 works fine though so it’s not my DVD player or anything.
I’m a bit [...]
Well Toshiba today threw in the towel and is going to stop producing HD-DVD gadgets and gizmos. Unfortunately this means that Sony has won and Blu Ray will be the next generation format, until Sony gets bored and comes up with a new one of course.
