Ostrich

I fully expect to be aching by the end of the weekend. Beer tonight (hey it’s Friday you know…), then helping friends move into their new flat. Probably more beer, then a very quiet day on Sunday which will no doubt turn into an Xmas shopping day. I’m almost looking forward to Monday already!

I’m currently becoming quite apathetic towards many things, anything involving pressure that is… I’m seriously considering the Ostrich approach, and if I decide to take that route, I will make sure everyone knows it! (You and I both know that I won’t but it’s a nice thought isn’t… just bury your head in the sand whilst the bombs go off overhead… ahhh bliss….).

Anyway, leaping back to reality… pressure at work will be.. icky.. next week. So I apologies for anything I say here, I fully expect to be venting my stress and frustration on you dear reader – apologies in advance.

Planning

A few nice suprises yesterday, one of which wasn’t when my PalmPilot (III) started looking ill. Screen had gone all broken up… strange. Checked out Palm Support, newsgroups, everywhere I could. Ended up hard resetting and losing a lot of stuff. Which brings me round to my point. Planning. I’m terrible at this sort of thing. I’m always too optimistic, which is odd because I don’t consider it my nature.

Also at a reasonably critical juncture career-wise. Need to clear out a few things (for want of a better term). Who knows, they may take care of themselves. Either way it will mean changes. Change which is good. Change away from the familiar, so I will have to start learning again. Could be fun. Better be rewarding!

Wonder Boys

Wonder Boys – good film.

Nothing spectacular, and gave me the same feel that American Beauty did (well not quite as much). Tobey Maguire was excellent, Michael Douglas was quietly superb, and for the small amount of time she had, Frances McDormand was her usual self, effective and supremely watchable. Robert Downey Jr. even managed to keep it together.

And yes I have thought about writing a book, but hasn’t everyone? Hell I’ve had a ‘story’ for ages… hmmm might be a project for me? But then I can’t even manage to get writing for this site… let alone for a book – how the hell would I find the will and the time to do that? Eh!?

Ohhh and if ANYONE from ITV2 is reading, or anyone who knows someone (or even anyone who knows someone who knows someone else) that works there – get the NBA back on – it’s been going for weeks, and I’ve still to see a game!! GET IT SORTED OUT!

Nothing

Another day, another dollar. I have heard that there is some election going on somewhere, but I doubt it’s gonna make as big an impact as people expect.

I suffer terribly from jealousy. I look around and want more than I have, and for once I’m not being unreasonable in my demands, mind you I have to wait until February, and give evidence before my demands will even be listened to, and even then I don’t expect much to come of it… damn that was a long sentence, if I wasn’t so frickin lazy I would go back and edit it, but I am lazy, and.. well I’m just adding to the problem now.

Sorry about that.

Triggered

So I’ve yet to complete the re-design, which has taken far too long… however it occured to me that the content side has fallen behind somewhat. So I’m probably going to start tackling themes – maybe the 7 sins to start (why are sins so much more fun than… ehh what’s the opposite of a sin?).

I’ve also got some thoughts kicked off by a book I’ve been reading – The Trigger. More on that later.

Enough of me

Cough, cough, splutter, splutter. I hate this time of year. Well not true I really like it, if only it wasn’t for the sore throat, tickly cough… hold on I sound like a cough medicine advert.

Back to work tomorrow… joy of joys.

Hey, I haven’t asked for a while..how are you?
