Some typing spread out over the past few hours.
Last night was quiet. Going back into work meant dealing up with the catch-up shite, denying having SARS numerous times and trying to get back to the crap I’m working on at the moment. It wasn’t the best day considering I felt worse yesterday. Ah well.
Headed out after work for just a chat really. I wasn’t up to making a night out of it. So we chatted down the pub for a while and then I called it a night and was home around 10ish.
One of the lads lent me two more Iain Banks books and I’m looking forward to reading them. I also remembered to bring home those dvds which had been sitting in my desk and I intend to do some watching tonight.
Paul Hunter put up a really good fight, but I’m very glad to see Ken Doherty through to the final. Hunter was up 15 frames to 9 won 6 out of the next 7 and then Ken took the last frame. A stunning match. It’s looking likely he’ll be facing Mark Williams in the final on Monday which should be a good game.
The word of the day is paradox. It’s a little funny when two completely opposite points of view can both be 100% correct at the same time. Perhaps paradox isn’t the best word for it but it seems to be fitting in my head today.
I have some southern fried chicken and some garlic bread in the oven right now. I’m starving so hopefully it will work out well. Slouch in front of the tv for the rest of the night and watch stuff. I like the sound of that quite a bit 😉
I was over in Spar just picking up some dinner and other bits and pieces. Went up to the counter to pay and there was a display stand for newspapers. The Guardian was at the top and it was three photos and captions above the fold. The third photo caught my attention and the headlines did the rest. So one newspaper now beside me for reading too.
Update: The chicken was really nice and I’m just waiting for the garlic bread to be done a little more. I like garlic a lot, luckily enough I’ve never dated anyone who didn’t like it. Garlic bread is easily a favourite food. Garlic chicken is also a good thing.
I have just been very disappointed about two minutes into CSI when I realised it was CSI: Miami. It’s by far the lesser show and I had been looking forward to some good drama. It’ll do I guess but not ideal.
Another update: It is indeed a Mark Williams – Ken Doherty.
I guess next up are accusations of wmd in Canada and then an invasion. For the better good of the world of course.
