Right, back up into the magical blue of the 1200’s after winning best of three. Good games they were too.
Gave Patrick a ring this afternoon to see if he was doing anything tonight. As it turned out he wasn’t so we agreed to meet up and wander around the West End cinemas and find something to see. We eventually settled on the Jim Carrey comedy Bruce Almighty and as it turned out, it was very funny and we both enjoyed it a lot. Jim Carrey really is an excellent actor and does a great job in what is more then a comedy role. Morgan Freeman is as ever excellent and is a great “god”. Worth a watch.
Soundtrack for the evening has been Damien Rice’s debut O. It’s a very plain and simple album. Vocals are at the forefront accompanied by some guitar, cello and violins. It’s “unplugged” as the word first meant. Think David Gray but with a Dublin accent, less beat and a lot less of the wobbly head. Add a lot to that and your maybe getting close. It’s good stuff and it’s really fitting my mood.
I don’t really know what to say about the recent events between the BBC and the government. I was sitting here thinking I wanted to put something down when I see in the news that Peter Mandelson felt it was appropriate to launch an attack on the BBC today. In light of recent events I would have thought both sides would clean up their act, all involved have blood on their hands. I wonder how this one is going to end up.
I really really really hate “text speak” and all caps. If only internet ettiqute could be enforced or I be allowed to cull for the sake of the gene pool.
It’s funny to think that I fall into the twenty-something gatagory. Ok the lower end of it but it makes me laugh (albiet nervously). Pat and I were talking this evening and one of the things that came up was that our stock price is improving. We were joking about the first grant we got way back when in Dublin. I say way back when but I stopped for a moment when he pointed out that they fully have fully vested in December of this year. It was years ago that we got them. It’s kinda scary and yes something which I don’t think about all the time but often enough that I’ve noted it here before a few times. Just one of my small neuroses shining through again.
