Surfed the web for most of the afternoon while doing load upon load in the washing machine. Talked to Nick on im and turned out neither of us were doing anything for the night, so we headed out to meet up for drinks. Ended up going out to Angel for the night and drinking there. Met up with his sister for a while and had a nice enough pizza for dinner.  Stayed in a somewhat new bar with a late license for the night. Stuck around chatting in there until around half one. Grabbed a burger and headed home where I collapsed into bed.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the evening has to be mentioned. We were both of course enjoying the sights around the room (as you do). One in particular stood out. Brunette with a stunning figure in what can only be described as a perfect little black number. Fuck me, did she look good. So far out of my league, but man she looked good.<\/p>\n<p>Today was also quiet, bummed around online while doing load upon load of washing. Headed out to meet up with Iain to go and see <i>28 Days Later<\/i>. It was however sold out. So we had a few drinks, went for some dinner. Chicken in Nandos was really good and then another quick drink and the actually quite funny &#8216;Top and Butch&#8217; show at the 2 Brewers. Headed home pretty early to get back to work on preparing for Tuesday. I had a good night.<\/p>\n<p>Spent a bit of time over both days cleaning my room. Looking a lot better than it was, but still got a bit to go.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes just a note on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davebushe.net\/japan\/\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return true;\" onmouseout=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return false;\">blog | japan <\/a>, that is far more public than this one in that I have told more people about it. Probably not going to be able to run both in tandem and that one will get updated first over the coming two weeks.  But you never know!<\/p>\n<p>Pop culture stuff:<\/p>\n<p>They have been running a lot of ads for the third season of <i>The Sopranos<\/i> on dvd over the past few days. I really want to see it. When I get back I&#8217;ve a lot of good stuff on dvd to look forward to, aswell as catching up on a couple of weeks of shows.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of, I watched <i>Buffy<\/i> 7.06 earlier. It was ok, some funny moments and a scarily hot Dawn. Xander&#8217;s plan rocked. All in all a solid hour, but no real plot developments. The bit with the missile launcher was fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>I caught an episode of <i>Alias<\/i> on Channel 4 last night. I think I am really missing out on something with this show. I will really have to get around to looking into downloading it when I get back.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Shield<\/i> tonight was solid as ever. Really went into the people and worked very well for the most part.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been on a major kick all evening for Elvis vs JXL&#8217;s <i> A little less conversation<\/i> I must have listened to it going on 15 times.<\/p>\n<p>***<br \/>\nMental symptoms such as lethargy, anxiety and &#8220;reluctance to go to work,&#8221; as well as sleep-related problems including insomnia and fatigue, were most common among workers who spent more than 5 hours a day glued to their computer screen.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2002\/TECH\/internet\/11\/08\/screen.health.reut\/index.html\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return true;\" onmouseout=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return false;\">CNN | Too much screen time can make you sick<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate my flatmate.
