Weekender

BBQ Friday was fun. One of those nights when you look at your watch and think, “hmmm 11pm maybe just another couple of drinks”, and then 10 mins later look at your watch and all of a sudden it’s 3am. Would have been quite happy to let the night go on.

Saturday – drinks in Arte, Mao for dinner. Nasi Goreng was wonderful well recommended if you are eating out in Glasgow. Ohhh and if you are ever in the Merchant City area of Glasgow in the evening, you must visit Arte. Blows me away every time.

Today is a Bank Holiday, but here I sit in work. Louise can brave the traffic queues, I’m far too impatient for that.

Tequila!

Holy Schmoly (must learn to spell that correctly…), it’s Friday. Where did my week go? Been hot, muggy and unpleasant in our office this week – all you air-conditioned lot can shut up! – but looking forward to some cold beers, burnt burgers, and margaheritas this evening, followed by the traditional morning long hangover. Will help me get over a long, trying, frustrating week. Must be getting old, I used to be able to handle all this….

Homework

Working at home has advantages and disadvantages.

Advantage: you get twice as much done.
Disadvantage: you’re not quite sure what is going on in the office.

I have a few concerns at the moment, not sure I like the way things are panning out. Still I said I’d give it a couple of months, and I will, might be a couple of very short months though …..

Intelligently Artificial

Coming Attractions.

Go there (above link) go to the A.I. page (Steven Speilbergs upcoming film) and go to the discussion forum. Check out the ‘Official easter egg website mystery’ discussion.

Amazing stuff…. I’m lost in it at the moment and could be in there for some time I think…

Bouncing Dogs

Raining. I mean straight down, bouncing back up about 2 feet, drains only just coping type rain. After the heat of the weekend I’m sure it is a welcome to relief to all garden owners, but to be frank, when you are trying to play football it’s just damn inconsiderate!

The rollercoaster of apathy continues, currently on a down trend, but have a meeting with my new boss tomorrow, hopefully will see an up trend soon!

Note to self: be positive, and stop playing ISS Pro 2 every night!!

Playing the station

Tekken Torture – a true real life event, where people play Tekken whilst connected to a small electrical device that will shock them whenever they are hit… seriously. Obviously these people don’t play their computer games properly, or they’d have the same blisters I do from playing football on my Playstation. I mean everyone knows that if you press the buttons harder, the players run faster… right?
