Trace Memory

I finished yet another Torchwood book last night, this one I managed to read entirely in one day, does that tell you anything?
It was really good, it had time travel in it that was sort of like The Time Traveller’s Wife which I loved.
It also portrayed Jack as a more caring character which was good, [...]

Richie Rich

I got paid £250 today! I didn’t think I’d be getting that much and I’m slightly worried it might be wrong and they’re gonna take some back though.
However it might be that Lauran changed one of my days off last week to a holiday since I need to use them up. I’m gonna go [...]

Border Princes

I finished my third Torchwood book, Border Princes, last night. It was definitely the best of the three.
*spoilers follow*
In ways it sort of echos the Torchwood episode ‘Adam’ in that there is a sixth Torchwood member inserted and the audience is left feeling sort of ‘eh?’ about who this person is.
This story also highlighted a [...]

I met Chris for coffee today (how mature are we?) and after we had a chat he ‘modded’ my PSP with custom firmware so I can play downloaded games.
I tried it out with a couple games and it seems to all be working fine, though Patapon won’t work till I get 3.90 so I’m meeting [...]

Oh chai!

Today in work I finally worked up the balls to have a chai latte.
Initially I’d smelt one while I was making it and thought “mmm that smells nice”. Then I’d read the back of the sachet.
It’s made from spices and ginger designed to bring you “maximum happiness”. They make it sound like some kind [...]

Hooray!

I came home from work today after my 9 hour shift (I got to go home an hour early, yay!) and I was feeling really tired and generally pissed off that UPShite still hadn’t delivered my 360, this was after checking it hadn’t been delivered while I was at work.
Anyway on my way up the [...]

Long Way Down

I finished watching The Long Way Down tonight.
I really enjoyed it, I dunno if I liked it as much as Long Way Round though.
I think it was mainly because the majority of it was set in Africa which all sort of looks the same whereas Long Way Round went through loads of different countries in [...]

Another Life

Finished my second Torchwood book, it was pretty good. Not as good as Slow Decay though but it was interesting.
It included a bit where Owen was whinging that he “was a Doctor everyday and would die a Doctor” and Jack says, under his breath “Not quite yet”.
Which lead me to wonder whether the writer knew [...]

I smell bullshit

I phoned up UPS today to ask them if they could deliver my 360 next door since Derek works from home and I’ll likely be at home when they try to deliver it. Oh they can only do that for the second delivery, how wank is that?
So I was all ok fine whatever, can [...]

Linzi

I went up to Linzi’s today to see the progress they’d made on the flat.
It seems to be coming along pretty well. They still don’t have a sofa tho, I don’t know how Callum can stand sitting on deckchairs every night to watch TV!
They’ve ordered an L-shaped sofa tho so that should look cool. They [...]
