I've been a bit more creative lately. I've also decided that I can draw or write or whatever - just for the fun of it. I put so much pressure on myself for the creative stuff I do to be 'worth something' (not in a monetary sense,) that I sometimes get quite freaked out about it & get nervous, more often than not, leading to...

I'm not going to do a big roundup of the last year, mainly because my memory doesn't work like normal people's. I can remember stuff but have no sense of time associated with it. I could remember something and not know if it happened this year or the year before. Suffice to say it's been awesome and the last couple of years with Pinklet have...

I rejoined the site last night after a few months off and I suddenly thought about you and your better half this morning and thought "I wonder whether they're preggo yet?" and here you are all preggo and that, I bloody loves it!!
Congratulations to you both, I'm absolutely over-the-moon for you
Oh, and a belated Happy New Year too

Something like that, anyway. I often have to read back on blogs to separate one week or month to the next. I note things in my appointment diary to jog my memory too! Oops.
Sounds like 2011 will bring a whole new kettle of fish for ya anyway! I'm sure that'll help at least some remembrance, until the sleep dep. kicks in anyway...

I've been meaning to update for ages, but didn't really have much to say or else was wondering how I could top the last one. Well obviously I won't be able to for about 6 months, so fuck it, I figure just update and be damned.

I've been raising a kitten which I know is kinda (ok so very) different and the only advice I can give to you is be prepared for a lot of shit. Everywhere.
Good work on the impregnation by the way!

You're gonna have to explain to me about this scrivener you're talking about....because I'm too lazy to e-stalk you.
Holimoonaversary!
For those of you struggling with the concept, it was mine and Pinklet's first holiday together, which coincided with our first wedding anniversary and technically it was also our honeymoon as we couldn't afford to go last year after the wedding.
My best (wo)man and her hubby visited us a while back and suggested the south of France, as they were going around...

Hmm. Been mostly offline for a while - well I've been on Twitter (@narshada,) and Facebook via my iPhone but my Macbook Pro has been wigging out. Took it for a Genius bar appointment in town (I know, the irony eh,) as I'd tried everything I could think of & it wouldn't connect to Wi-Fi at home. My iPhone & PS3 will connect no problem,...

I love reading about the apps for the iphone in your blogs. my dad gave me his old iphone (3G). Its unlocked - so I can stick my sim card in. Sadly disappointed that I can't have my own text tones (that honk is annoying.. argh) - but I now know how to make them should I ever jailbreak my phone - but that idea scares me. don't want it to fuck up after only having it 3 days.
However, the first thing I thought when i got the iphone was 'i need to re read all of mike's blogs so i can get the good apps!!!'
So here I am, stalking your blogs.

Thank you. 35 will be the year everything changes for me

4 days off work, woohoo! Just done 6 days straight, with a 14 & 1/2 hour stint on my first of those 6, due to a rather large product launch you may have heard about.
Had a massive quest to find a copy of Red Dead Redemption a week ago on my day of prior to those 6 days. Nowhere in Bristol had a copy....

You're going to get a message on everything I can think off.... sorry!

Meant to get back sooner to you too! Thanks for the info. I think I saw you the other day actually chatting to someone in the Apple store.
Been trying to get around to writing this for ages. Hope I have time before I go to work in 25 mins.
Sticking with the apps/pics updates for now, but here's a brief roundup of news:
I ran 5k - 4.15k of it while injured. It was for a Nike+ challenge through work. I did it in 34.24 and I'm quite proud of myself as...

Dude, a BBQ sounds excellent! I'd love to come. Havn't seen you guys in ages. If the weather stays like this it'll be awesome!
ikaruga:
the gruaniad's app is d/ling as I type... thanks for that (okay, and the indie's. yeah, it may be crap, but my sister works for them, so I'd better!)
I'm going to continue with the photo/app updates for now. Life trundles on as ever and while it is all going extremely well, there's not a lot to say about things in general. Go to work. Enjoy job for the most part, come home see wife, love her - rinse, repeat.

You are completely awesome Thank you so much for your advice, means a lot that you spent time writing all that for me! Luckily I only have to do the job once a week (hopefully for not too much longer). Though I do want to be able to prove to myself that I can do it and od it well, I frigging hate failing at stuff!
Hope you and your lovely wife and doing just fine! You coming to mine and Mark's birthday meet in July?!??!!

xContinuing on the iPhone tip here's some more quick app reviews:
Flight control (59p): Simple concept & starts easy enough, but gets fiendishly difficult. Has that 'one more go' thing.
Camerabag (1.19): Photo app, similar in some ways to the wonderful Hipstamatic. On the plus side, you can add the effects to photos you've already taken, but on the downside, there's a limited range of...

I expect we shall be making the trip down south later in the year for sure xxI got to see one of my favourite bands!
I got an email from some band who for some reason have my email address saying that they would be playing, along with 3 other bands that night, all supporting Shai Hulud. I was working until 9.30pm, but managed to make it down there after work to see about 4 tracks from the last support band,...

Give Orbital a try. I think it's 1.59, but it's a fun puzzle type game with graphics similar to Geometry Wars
