Month: July 2002

I am having the strangest afternoon. I have just been asked to see Scooby Doo to which the reply was a four letter word I won’t use here. An airline who I signed up for flight info from has just tried to sell me a pogo stick (yes you read that correctly the first time) and I hate the second floor of this building.

-its the tools fault
-no its the people using the tools fault
-no its not.
-here is the proof. They are using the tools wrong.
-errr the tools are being used wrong. It is the tools fault

Ok it wasn’t quite like that but it was close enough jesus fuck educate the bleep bleeps.

Just to add something to this. The person I was talking to about the tool is a really good friend and someone I like a lot. It is not his fault in anyway and I don’t mean to give him grief (well much grief).

I am heading into town after work to get food at the least, but there will be comics involved aswell. Maybe a movie but it will not be Scooby fucking Doo.

Then home and more West Wing follwed by some new comics 🙂

Good read.

That was very stupid. I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing and I almost sent an entire file of code to the wrong person. Thank fuck for cancel buttons. That would be a really really really bad thing.

I have to go and kill myself. I have just gotten to an episode of the West Wing guest staring David Hasselhoff.

It doesn’t feel like it was a mere three and a half hours ago that I left work. It barely feels like I went to work today not in that blah blah blah I don’t care kinda way but just in that distant memory kinda way.

The reason? I have no doubt you have guessed. I walked up to High Street Kensington after work and top shelf of WH Smith were lots and lots of West Wing box sets for a mere £27.99. It is quite amazing (and somewhat sad) that such a small thing cheered me up no end. I came home put my bag down put the first disc into my dvd player and well 3 episodes later here I am. I’ll be watching at least one more tonight but I suspect I will break down and start on the next disc aswell.

Tomorrow morning I have to go see my bank manager. I rang up earlier in the week and asked to speak to someone for a quick chat. Why I hear you ask? Well, it occurred to me that I have never told them about my salary changes since I moved over here and seen as that was over two and a half years ago and my salary has increased by quite a lot since then it seems like a good idea. I also want to mention the word mortgage and see what her reaction will be. I am not optimistic.

So I went out at lunch figuring that I may aswell go £40 overdrawn and pick up West Wing today so I’ll have something to do tonight and seen as I would be spending the exact same money tomorrow. No-where had it, I was not impressed. I will have another quick look after work but 🙁 Maybe somewhere in town will have it.

Works going ok today, I have something not uncool to do and its working out well so far. 🙂

An asteroid discovered just weeks ago has become the most threatening object yet detected in space.
A preliminary orbit suggests that 2002 NT7 is on an impact course with Earth and could strike the planet on 1 February, 2019 – although the uncertainties are large.
Astronomers have given the object a rating on the so-called Palermo technical scale of threat of 0.06, making NT7 the first object to be given a positive value.
From its brightness, astronomers estimate it is about two kilometres wide, large enough to cause continent-wide devastation on Earth

Most excellent dude 🙂

What is the worst thing you have ever done?

You just think about that. I can’t find the code to place a text box anyone can post to here and I really can’t be arsed to put a comments system on just for this. So if you have a blog, go blog about it.

oh and do you regret it?

A slight colour change because I feel like it. One day soon I will actually sit down and put some effort into this. Perhaps a quiet evening in Dulles would be ideal.

Fuck sums up the thoughts I can share right now…I think I’m gonna go downstairs and blow some shit up in GTA 3 on the PS2

1) Things are getting to me far more than I thought they were.
2) Things should not be getting to me this much. I don’t like it at all, in fact I hate it.

None of the problems at hand are insurmountable, most are in fact quite minor. However each and every single one of them is a hassle that I either have to deal with or affects me. They could all turn out really well, one of them is redoing a lot of work but it is more than likely a good thing.

I need something to read. I’m reading A Star Called Henry at the moment and its just not doing it for me. I’m in the mood for something sexy is the word I’m looking for I guess. I can’t think of anything else. I want to read the next American Psycho or Fight Club or God is a Bullet . Something raw and powerful with one hell of a fucking story behind it.

I do note with some happiness while browsing Amzon, Tony Hawks has a new book One Hit Wonderland coming out next week. Perfect flight material.
