Well, that&#8217;s not strictly true, it struck last night around 1.30 in the am. I was half tempted to get up and go typing but as my sister is staying over and sleeping on the couch in the living room, I didn&#8217;t want to wake her.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway to go back a few days for a catch-up. Friday was bad. I woke up and felt like shit (no, I was not out on Thursday) and so I didn&#8217;t go into work. I took it easy at home and felt much better by later in the evening. Didn&#8217;t really get up to much just some Eve and some watching of stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was very quiet. Slept in late and played lots of Eve. Then that night Alex and I took Hebe to the pub and had a few pints. Mair\u00e9ad was due to arrive around 9ish and was going to come along to the pub. Due to fun at Heathrow she was late and didn&#8217;t get here till around 11.30 by which stage we were well home.<\/p>\n<p>And in what is, I&#8217;m sure,  a completely unfounded slander on newts, having 3 pints and the social skills of a newt is not a good thing. Hebe was making lots of friends in the pub including a table of nice Irish girls in the corner&#8230;it was loud in the pub and I have bad hearing and I could not make out for sure what they were saying but I think one was telling me she was new to London and wasn&#8217;t settling very well and missed lots of things and well I wasn&#8217;t very helpful. Damn \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>So onto Sunday. We wandered down to Camden Market (with a quick comic shop trip) and then out to the big shopping centre at Brent Cross. Picked up a few cds, (Springsteen &#8211; <i>The River<\/i>, Hole &#8211; <i> Live Through This<\/i> and Tears for Fears &#8211; <i>The Collection<\/i>&#8230;eclectic or what?) and then headed home while Mair\u00e9ad went off to meet some friends. <\/p>\n<p>A good night in Eve was had and I have a plan to hopefully make some money over the next couple of days and with some look will rope Dave into helping and indeed helping with the bankrolling \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I finally watched through the Sci-Fi Channels remake of <i>Battlestar: Galactica<\/i> and it&#8217;s not as bad as I originally thought at all. Nice twist at the end and a decent enough cast. Certainly would be watching the series as it came along. I&#8217;m also up-to-date with <i>Alias<\/i> now, not all that impressed with the third season and it certainly ranks nowhere near the first and the first half of the second but it&#8217;s still enjoyable stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And now the mood strikes.
