Right so I’m kinda bored out of my fucking tree. There is not many people in the office. I have pretty much a 4 desk clear radius around me. Lucky me. I’m pretty much the only team with a single person in so I’m stuck away from what little is going on. I imagine there will be another nice long lunch soonish.
However I am also slightly hungover, I’m doing quite well. I should be a hell of a lot more hungover than I am. Between lunch and last night I must have gone through £40 for rounds of beer and there were a hell of a lot of rounds. I’m thinking about moving forward my giving up the pub in January to today…of course this will all change at pub lunch. But fuck it, what can you do.
Don’t answer that.
Last night was interesting, fun in parts, not fun in other parts. A little learning about others and a lot of learning about some others.
I’m in a strange music mood lately. I’ve not been listening to stuff as often as I normally do. Sitting down typing above and firing up iTunes lead to pretty much exactly what I wanted. Radiohead’s Kid A. The opening keys of Everything in it’s Right Place moving into Thom’s distorted backing vocals just flows so very smoothly and as simple as that, we are off. Lost in the music. Rumour has it the new album will be pretty early next year, I am looking forward to it and hoping for a tour alongside it.
um so besides all that shite, this has been making me laugh
