So it’s been a little slow around here for a while. I think I’ll just go with a list of stuff and see what happens.

– Nick lent me one of his laptops so I’m back online for a while. This is a good thing and I appreciate it lots. The keyboard is a little strange so I’m getting use to typing on it.

– It’s been a really bad week in work for most of the department. There has been a lot of stuff going on. It was mainly over on Thursday night and as we were all going to a party anyway we went on to celebrate freedom for some folks. However that all changed when we sitting around the table everyone’s phone starts to ring at pretty much the same time. One of the lads was knocked off his motorbike leaving the office. Luckily enough he’s not hurt all that badly but the first reports we got sounded really bad. It rather unsurprisingly changed the mood of the evening.

– Friday night we partied again, with everything that had happened we needed to blow off some steam so we did. Lots of beer, some pool and lots of talking shite. A good night mostly.

– It’s a long weekend here, Monday is a Bank Holiday so lots of people have gone away. For the few of us still in London, we arranged to meet up and do something. After the last couple of nights, no-one really wanted a heavy one so we figured we would hit the pool hall for the evening. It was a good night. 5 of us showed up and we got a couple of tables and played some pool. I’ve improved a hell of a lot. I lost 4 games last night, one to everyone. One of them being my own stupid fault but I won at least 15 games. I guess it’s to do with the amount I’ve played recently but I’ve beat people whom I don’t normally beat, and I’ve beat them well. So all good.

– Yesterday afternoon I hit my local comic book shop. Nothing really of interest except Batman: Child of Dreams by Kia Asamiya. This is one of the best Batman books I’ve read in a long time. It’s a piece which was serialised in a manga magazine in Japan and it just got the hardcover treatment from DC. It’s beautiful, the art work is stunning, gothic, dark and haunting. Exactly that Batman should be. I shall be looking for some of this as my wallpaper during the week. Very very happy with it.

– No other real plans for the weekend, a couple of movies I think. I want to head into town this afternoon and pick up a couple of bits and pieces.

– Just a little apathy going on at the moment.
