Wow
No errors now and publishing away.
I think my hosting company lied about changes…or blogger changed some stuff.

Anyway back now and I have nothing to say.

*sigh*

It appears my blog is fucked which is why there has been no updates for the past few days.

I read The Red Star collected edition last night. It is easily the best new comic I have ever read. I don’t think anything I’ve read before blew me away quite like it did. As I look around at my shelves a quite a few decent comics on my shelf there isn’t much that stands up to it. Go and buy it.

I love broadband.
I hate CD protection
I hate Woolworth’s. Take the 3 disc Springsteen set to the counter to be handed the 2 cd set and asked for money. When I point out it was the 2 disc set, I was told “yes we are out of the other one” and well the reaction wasn’t good when I said I didn’t want it then. Fuckers. I’m on a kick with the Greatest Hits anyway.

Work is really having it’s ups and downs these days. I’m getting some good results on a daily basis and some really bad results. I’m working in an area which isn’t mine…but I quite enjoy… but not to this extent. I think an email is called for. I spent a while this evening (a good 30 min) composing an email about an issue I have and sending it off and I’m thinking now that it was a waste of my time. I was sending it in-house and so it didn’t need a full polish but originally it was meant to go out-house so I was trying to do a good job. Still time well spent I guess.

The ups are good tho, they actually make me look forward to work for the first time in a good while. I know that when I sit at my desk I will have some visible results by the end of the day and you know I think that’s a good thing personally.

Things are stressed and tense in general tho. A lot of it is tied into people not doing what we need them to do and I think that if we could get some resolution there it would be a great help. I got on the phone and got some information on Monday and that just turned everything around for me. Sometimes if I was allowed to just pick up the phone and ring the person who can ask the question instead of some project/product manager who will then ask their manager for some time to help me…well I’d get results a hell of a lot quicker.

Contradictory…moi?

I’m reading J.G.Ballard’s High Rise and it’s not bad. It feels real, I can just imagine everything happening as described…not sure if that’s a good thing or not.

Um not much else going on really. Drinks this weekend with some friends anyway.

Halo on X-Box, I was expecting more. I know I’m only on the second level but given it’s billing, I was expecting more. The game is young yet.

So I played some games, watched some DVDs and read some comics. More precisely I read the 5 trades of Garth Ennis’ Hellblazer. They were good fun, some ups and some downs.

I still have a headache but thankfully nothing like as bad as this morning.

I slept really badly last night. I had some very strange dreams and spent quite a while waking up. As a result, this morning I feel like shit. Really like shit. My head hurts and my throat hurts and my stomach is a little unsettled.
I did have pizza with a whole hell of a lot of extra cheese on it last night…I may just google to see if that is an urban myth or not.

Ok sod google. I’m not wading through the crap it spews back for a simple query about cheese.
