Merry Christmas!
Aparently it's nearly christmas. Well it is at work at any rate. We recieved our first allocation of christmas stock this week, and it only gets worse from here.

Other than the begining of the influx of christmas stock, things have been pretty good. Well work has been a bit crazy recently, but nothing i couldn't handle. I've also been cooking chinese food recently, after watching "Chinese cooking made easy" on the BBC. It's the first time i've actually cooked anything after watching a cookery program, and so far my attempts have been quite sucessful.

have a good weekend everyone!

I am not a car-y type person, but dear God i love my new car! After nearly 5 years of driving around in a little 1.4 honda jazz its nice to be driving something with a little more umph! Plus, as its a diesel its still gonna be economical enough to drive to work everyday.

I've been off work this week, and after the last 5 or so weeks at work it's been nice to be able to sit back and relax for a bit. I've not really done much, just watched plenty of films and anime, played a lot of Kingdom Hearts 2 (who'd of thought a mix of disney and final fantasy would work?) and just generally relaxed. Today though i'm off to ikea!

Have a good weekend!

I'm getting a new car! For the last 4 and a bit years i've been driving a Honda Jazz (or Fit if you're American). It's a really nice car and economical too, which is good as i have to drive 40ish miles a day for work, but it's just not that much fun to drive. Plus it's a bit of a family car too. So i'm getting an Audi A3 Quattro 1.9 turbo diesel. It's still economical, but a lot more fun to drive!

I've not really been up to much recently. I saw Wall-E last week. It's such a great film, though i thought it quite sad in places. Last night i watched the Dark Knight and it's amazing! if you haven't seen it yet, go and see it now!

Today has been a day full of annoying little things! What with heavy rain, traffic chaos on the way to and home from work, my boss being signed off sick for three weeks, the Muppet's who deliver our papers in the morning leaving them out in the rain and my guts being against me all day.

So to cheer myself up i made a list in my head of good things that have happened and things that have just cheered me up or made me smile recently. so here it is!

Being asked by my friend Martin to be his best man when he gets married next year.
Juno being released on DVD. I love that film!
Going out last Saturday night. It was the first time I'd been out for three weeks and ended up being a good night.
Yotsuba&. A really great manga by the bloke who did Azumanga Daioh. It always makes me smile with its silliness.
The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. A really enjoyable anime series. i've only seen the first 8 episodes, but i'm already hooked.
The new Weezer album. A seriously amazing album.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2. Not as good as its predecessor, but still a cool game.
And finally Hanners expression in the final panel of this Questionable Content comic. It's such a great expression, it bought a big smile to my face.

So there's my list. it's not much of a list, but still...
So what has made you smile this week?

Today i teased a spider!

Well actually i just flicked a little ball of paper into a spiders web and watched as the spider first tried to cocoon the paper and then just cut it out of its web. It was a really boring day at work.

I am going out tonight, the first time i've been out for three weeks! I can't wait! it's just a pity i have to work tomorrow. oh well...

Have a good weekend everyone!

i wish i had a good reason for why i haven't updated for over a month, like there was personal drama or some other such craziness that kept me from the computer. but the truth is nothing has happened in all this time that has been worth mentioning!

still, i thought i'd do a quick update now anyway.

Last night me and my friend martin went and watched Wanted. i've not read the comic it's based on, so i don't know how it compares, but i really enjoyed it! It's not the sort of film that makes you think, it's the sort of film where you switch off your brain, sit back and enjoy a string of crazy and well choreographed action scenes. i'd really recommend it.

Also, last night, martin asked me to be his best man when he gets married next September. Gotta admit that it came as a bit of a surprise, but of course i said yes. So now i've set myself a target, i am going to loose weight for martins wedding.

So there we have it, the most interesting things that have happened to me in the last month and a bit. Still i can't complain, at least nothing bad has happened to me or anyone close to me. In fact the worse thing that has happenend recently i the major roadworks on the road into gloucester that make travelling home from work hell (luckily i miss them in the mornings). So all is pretty good really

Hope you all had a good weekend.

It looks like summer could be back! well, it's been sunny today anyway. in fact it was so nice that me and a couple of friends just had a bbq. it wasn't the most successful bbq though as the bbq we were cooking on wasn't completely ready to use until we were ready to go. but, the food was good and so was the company so thats the main thing.

hope you all had a good weekend.

Well it looks like the good weather is coming to an end well at least for the moment. But at least i've got series three of American Dad and the first series of Gavin and Stacy to keep me happy until the sunshine comes back.

Hope you're all having a good week

Why oh why do i do this to myself!

The plan was to go out and have a few drinks with friends, but i got swept up in the evening and ended up completely mullered! And now i feel ROUGH!!! And i have to go to work today

But the sun is still shining and itunes is randomly picking happy tracks for me to listen to, so i feel happy

Hope you all had a good weekend

It is so nice to have a bit of sunshine! for the last week or so, the weather has been pretty fucked up really. one minute its foggy and freezing, then bright sunshine and then pissing down with rain. And all on the same day! but today has been sunny and warm all day, and it's made me feel really happy!

Have a good weekend everyone!
