Shame about the shadow line but this is the team (well represented I think) at the wedding yesterday.

And much later on down the pub after the wedding was over.

Scruffy bastard at the end is Patrick and the guy on the right is Richard.

well it’s too late tonight

So I’ve just ironed my shirt. I’d like to you to take a moment and think about that one please.

So I’ve just ironed my shirt.

All done? Good, bit of a concept there I know. I can’t remember the last time I ironed but it was a long long time ago. All set for the morning now, just need to get up and shower and go. Setting the alarm for 6am and will probably be very early but I’d rather be. I expect to get to the meeting point about 30 minutes early, but I want to leave lots of extra time just in case. I also expect to meet many of the others there early too.

I just set the U2 DVD to random play. Out of 22 tracks it starts with One, that is something I cannot complain about.

Sleep calls.

Damn Hulk was bad.
Cast were fine on paper but just shit on screen and what the fuck was up with Absorbing man? The slight rejig of the origin I thought worked quite well but could have so done without any more of David Banner. Some nice HULK SMASH moments but over all blah.

Suit all sorted, on the way out to see a preview of Hulk.

In other news my day started when I tried to put a load of washing on to find that Katrina’s wash was not done and that the indicator and door lock was broken. It all went downhill from there.

Just watched Shaolin Soccer not bad, not as great as I had hoped but overall enjoyable. Being in a foul mood may have biased me against it.

Photos online tomorrow night…maybe

At the risk of overusing the word, you have to be fucking kidding me. The list of things which are a joke is growing daily.

Went to the pub last night for some last night out before the end of freedom for Fred. Went to the Albion which we have not graced with our presence in a while. They have a dart board now, you can guess where this one is going. It was good fun till we had a few drinks and started missing the board on a regular basis. Lot’s of talking and laughing and a little arguing. Some of it was not good at all and it was as usual one of those stupid pub conversations where you say what your thinking and some of it starts to come out. Not quite at throats but it was getting close for a while.

My dvds arrived this morning which I am well fucking pleased with. I’ve been wanting to see Shaolin Soccer for a long time and got a R3 Directors Cut with English subtitles for 7.99 from CD WOW. I like this a lot. Picked up U2 The Best of 1990 – 200 aswell and looking forward to getting some tunes and vids going on there.

Listening to some U2 right now as it turns out, the B sides from the collection just mentioned. Good stuff all round, I particularly like Lady With The Spinning Head. I had some very strange dreams last night which I promptly forgot, I just remember them being strange. Reread Top Ten this week, great little series, I really want the first volume in hardcover. Rereading Tom Strong and it’s kinda blah. It didn’t click with me the first time and on rereading it’s still blah.

Fuck, I’m quite hungover so I’m not feeling the best. Cold is going away slowly but surely.

Every now and again one of the wheels on my chair crunches for a second if I shift position too much or sometimes if I even just move the mouse. And every single time I think there is someone standing behind me and I turn around thinking someone is reading my screen.

For some reason, that sound makes me really paranoid.

Going to see a preview of Hulk with the lads from my team on Saturday night and I’m looking forward to it.

Managed to win a game of chess last night which I was quite happy about. I’d gone from a streak of 8 wins to a streak of 4 losses so closing that off is a good thing. Headed to bed pretty early, I’m not feeling 100% at all so couple of extra hours sleep was a good idea I thought. Today I’m mad as hell. I’ve had another few days worked wasted and well, I’m mad as hell. I don’t know what to do about it tho.

The vending machine on our floor has been demanding exact change only all week. This has lead to a sever caffeine and sugar rush loss across the technology department, this has been funny to watch but not funny to suffer through. I was chatting in the kitchen yesterday afternoon and the three of us were just standing by the machine and it took a couple of moments to realise we were glaring at it and anyone who had the right change. It still wants exact change only despite 4 days of people who had the right change putting in the right change. Someone will eventually snap and email facilities, it will not be me. I can beat it!

I’m listening to the an old Stereophonics album; You got to go there to come back thanks to the joy of iTunes and it’s not bad actually, perhaps worth picking up. There is a bit of older live stuff on here too and I like that a lot. I heard a copy of the Evanescence album yesterday and while the single is tolerable with hints of it could have been really good, the rest of the album is pretty much a luke warm version of the single and it can all be classified rather simply as goth wankery. Cute chick tho and you know that counts for a lot.

I have to say I’m a little surprised. I sent some comics to a friend in the US a few weeks ago and my taste was vindicated when she really enjoyed them and in fact went out and bought some more books in the series. Let this be a note to you all that Barry Ween is just fucking awesome. I have a Barry Ween tshirt I got last week, I have to wear it more. But anyway we were talking earlier in the week and she wanted to go and buy some more stuff and I gave her some recommendations, prime ones being Fables and Lucifer. Fables was sold out in her shop, but she picked up the first three Lucifer trades. I was pleasantly surprised by this. Had that been me I would have picked up the first one and given it a try, not got the first three books in a series which I hadn’t read myself. That said, I was again right but I was also quite pleased.

I’ve not been posting much lately, I seem to have missed a couple of days which is funny as I could have sworn I had posted some stuff yesterday but then again, the week has flown by. Not fast enough of course, but we are getting there.

Seven minutes is not enough for a game, I need increments if I’m going to play a seven minute game.

Fuck. I had that one won well.
