I have a new toy. I have two in fact. 1.8Ghz dual processors Macintosh G5’s with 1gb of RAM. Nice. Real nice. Just waiting on a switch box to be sorted out. Right now due to the joys of technology, I can only use my XP box with a USB iMac keyboard and my nice shiny G5 with a standard Compaq keyboard. I’m hoping IC will be back soon to sort this out.<\/p>\n
I’m back in work today and not feeling so bad. Walking to the tube this morning wasn’t fun but I had taken some painkillers just before I left the house so I guess it could have been worse.<\/p>\n
Last night, against my better judgement I went to see Dove’s in Hammersmith Palais. I didn’t leave till late so as to minimise standing around. The gig itself was allright, only real highlights (much like the Dove’s career) were Pounding<\/i> and ending on the excellent Here Comes The Fear<\/i>. Home to bed and didn’t feel the best I must admit. Hopefully back by Monday for The Pogues which should be awesome.<\/p>\n
Reading stuff, lets see I’m actually reading 4 books at the moment which is unusual for me. Still labouring slowly with Alan Moore’s Voice Of The Fire<\/i>, also speed-reading John Grisham’s The Last Juror<\/i>, an Irish taxi driver collection; Tales From the Rearview Mirror<\/i> and Short Fellow<\/i>, a biography of Charles J. Haughey. So a little varied there I’m sure.<\/p>\n
Comics wise, Ultimate Spider-man<\/i> continues to entertain and I even broke and bought volume 11 in softback because I wanted more. Superman: Birthright<\/i>, overrated. It’s nothing special at all.<\/p>\n
CoH got deactivated today, it’s all Eve for the near future. Lets me watch stuff at the same time too. Moving towards the second half of season 5 of The West Wing<\/i> and loving it. It’s nowhere near as good as the first two but it’s still good solid enjoyment. Started watching The Wire<\/i> after numerous V and AllTV types shouted about it. It’s not half bad at all and I’m enjoying it but 6 episodes in, I’m not sure what it’s getting all the hype over.<\/p>\n
Other stuff. I read the first two Ross O’Carroll-Kelly books recently. They weren’t bad, I would have enjoyed them a lot more a few years ago. Made me smile, really made me smile (and go off the rails a little) in one place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
