Starting to think that I should have gone to Bristol with the cool kids this coming weekend. But at the end of the day if I want to sit in a pub for 4 days I can do it a whole lot cheaper in London and have just as much fun…well almost as much fun. Shame to miss the assembeled V and in particular V Scot but I shall be up their way next month and there will be hanging out.<\/p>\n
So on Saturday a few of us who are not headed down to “Brizzle” will be having our own little drinkup in a nice pub out in North London. Hurrah. It should be fun and I look forward to it. The last time I was in the pub was for one of Neil’s brothers birthday after we had been out with the V in town and it was an excellent evening, lots and lots of fun.<\/p>\n
The last episode of The Shield<\/i> had a piece of music over the end that I liked a lot. So thanks to google and other such worthy sites, I’m listening to Worlds Apart<\/i> by And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. It’s quite good, I think Doug has been going on about them before. Decent band, solid album. I’ll be keeping an eye out for some more.<\/p>\n
Ooh comics. I recently re-read 100 Bullets<\/i> to the lastet trade. It’s slow to start, really slow to start and I almost gave up after the first thread but once it all starts to come together in particular from issue 20-40, it’s an excellent series. The last trade was a little weak, it’s hitting issue 60 soonish (if not now) and another trade should be coming where I believe it all kicks off. The art ranges from annoying the hell out of me to enjoying it a whole lot.<\/p>\n
2 of my 3 meetings today have been cancelled which is a nice start to the day as I’m somewhat hungover but feeling better by the second. Just a team meeting later this afternoon which should be quiet enough and that as they say is that.<\/p>\n
I updated my nice shiny G5 to Tiger yesterday. It was painless as expected and it’s pretty. The UI looks to have had a minor overhaul and some lines are far more defined which I like. Spotlight is lovely, just what I want from a search tool and this is what the coming crop of apps should be aiming for. <\/p>\n
I’m a very very late comer to The Smiths. It’s only been in the past few months when Alex was going on about them that I actually listend to any. It’s easy enough to see why they are held up so high. Listening a compliation at the moment. Some excellent lyrics going on in there, very simple but at the same time so much more.<\/p>\n
Reading and enjoying the hell out of Jon Courtenay Grimwood’s Arabesk<\/i> trilogy. Coming up to the end of the second book and it’s nicely written cyber-punk noir. I’ve borrowed another couple of his books off Dave and I’m looking forward to getting into them aswell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
