I’m not a happy camper at all.

Rewind 24 hours. I was feeling a whole lot worse yesterday morning so I didn’t go into work. I stayed in bed watching TV for a while before getting up to go and read while lying down on the couch.

I had planned on doing a little work and spending some time online during the day. Some of the stuff I’m on deadline for I could have gotten through at home. However this was not to be. I turned on my computer to have a mere 2 seconds later the power socket on the back blow and take the screen with it. So I’m now officially computerless at home. I’m not happy, not happy at all.

So the rest of the day was pretty much spent moping around the house feeling sorry for myself. Watched lots of TV and read for a while. One thing of note was Ed Brubaker’s A Complete Lowlife. It was excellent and the kind of book which could easily have brought me to tears (did I mention I was pretty unhappy at the time?) if I let it. Not sure I’m going to read it again anytime soon and I think I picked a bad time to read it, but it’s gonna stay with me for a while.

One of the lads was back in Dublin for a few days so I have some Tayto on my desk and damn do they taste good. Always nice to have a reminder of home, just a little more longing to deal with.

Flaming Lips and Iron Maiden are playing London later in the year. I shall be attending both I believe. Something to look forward to at the least.

Looks like I’m meeting up with some friends whom I haven’t seen in possibly a year for a cinema trip next week. Could be interesting.

Bush said it is “important for society to welcome each individual,” but administration lawyers are looking for some way to legally limit marriage to heterosexuals.
“I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, and I think we ought to codify that one way or another,” Bush told reporters at a White House news conference. “And we’ve got lawyers looking at the best way to do that.”

Bush wants marriage reserved for heterosexuals

Congrats America, land of the free and that bollocks.
