Hmm so where did the last month go...? *scratches head*

I guess I haven't been that fussed about updating, not because nothinig is happening, but because much of what I've been up to is a) unspeakably nerdy and b) unfathomable to the unitiated.

The last week or so I've been mostly absorbed in reading e-mails and books to get myself up to speed now that...

Wel that's another year done and dusted. The day itself passed with relatively little fanfare, and fortune shat on me in the evening when I tried to go to a pub in Victoria and they closed the tube station due to a power cut. Tsk.

Did enjoy sun, beer and BBQ the Saturday before though, and I fed my addiction for cinema with Coraline (in...

I'm still alive and all fingers are still attached although did get a couple of blisters and spent what seemed like an awful lot of time running away from bees, wasps and various other bug-type things.
opalia:
I'm looking forward to the new chapter.
BTW when are you going to update? Anything exciting happening?

After spendiing over two weeks trying to ward off a tickly throat infection passed on by a guy at work I then catch some quasi-swine-flu type thing from a friend. Five days later I'm almost back to normal. Being ill is rubbish, especially when it's enough to make me feel bad, but not bad enough to keep me in bed. Or perhaps I'm just too...

It is indeed.

And I would much rather own the boxset than a torrent, but needs must.

Happy Birthday dude.

Fortune smiled on me again for the first time in ages last week when I won tickets to see The Prodigy at Wembley Arena on the XFM Breakfast Show's radio phone-in. The gig was awesome, possibly the loudest event I've ever been too (my ears are still ringing three days later). I have my fingers xssed that I can make it two-in-a-row (again) by winning...

BSG is over. Gone. Done. Finito. It wasn't quite what I expected but I kinda like what they did. It makes me sad that there won't be any more, but I'm happy that they didn't screw it up.

So say we all.

I didn't get picked. Bah. Bastards. Oh well. whatever

I figure it's been a while since I did a movie recap/review so here's what I've been watching lately:

I'll start with the big one: Watchmen. It was good film, and a worthy adaptation of what many people said was a unflimable graphic novel. Admittedly it's cut a lot of the stuff from the around the...

Heads up SG friends: I need your help.

My application for the Best Job in the World has finally been approved - you can see it here:

http://www.islandreefjob.com/#/applicants/watch/8InrNxpNF0M

It's not perfect, but I think we did pretty well given the short amount of time that we had.

According to the notes on the site they will have their own selection process, but I am sure...

Thanks love. kiss
leola:
You're quite right. With every moment that passes I am slightly more aware that the relationship was more worry than it was good and to solve that I had to be distant. Hardly the recipe for success. Relief comes with knowing that I don't have to worry when his text will come or what his mood will be. I'm free. I wasn't worrying lately, but because I decided to give myself space. But that isn't how it should be.

I'd love to email you!

Just a quick update to say I'm still alive.

I submitted a music video as an application for the Best Job In The World but after two days I'm still waiting for confirmation that it's been approved and accepted *bites nails* whatever

I'm off to Derby for five days to play board games and get drunk with some friends. I am *soo* looking forward to it......

At Christmas I came to the decision that I'm not happy with my life. Not that I'm not a postive thinker - far from it in fact. It's just that for quite some time now I've been stuck in a rut - grinding away at a job that is not fulfilling and only marginally interesting mostly to pay for a house that too expensive really...

I can't believe there is someone else out there who likes Generation Kill and lives in the UK! I love that book.
Do you know what your novels are going to be about?
opalia:
I'd def recommend reading the book. There's a lot more going on in there than they could fit into 7 episodes. I think I know what you mean about writing, I have loads of ideas running around my head but as soon as I try to put them down on paper, I get writers block.

Well a lot of people have been posting retrospectives of the year so I guess I should have a stab at it. Unfortunately 2008 for me has been somewhat bland. I'm struggling to remember where all the time went, or what I've achieved. To prevent me from rambling here are some bullet points:

Highs smile

- Cloverfield
- Battlestar Galactica season 4
- Running an awesome...

I think I'm keeping up an acceptable average though, it should be fine.
