Party Party Party!

Monday night I'm helping throw a Halloween party in a bar in Town (I know it's a day early but it fits in with the shift pattern at work) and hopefully it will be the first of many such events - we're hoping to start a regular monthly night of musical madness (we don't stick to any one genre, and why should...

Two Blogs in One Day...

(Hhmm could do some My Space related spoof cover of a Crowded House song, but I won't)

So over on MySpace I've just posted about Canada and some of the many things I really like about the place.

Where as here I'm going to post about other random crap...

Saw "Dead Man's Shoes" last night, for some reason hadn't got...

So it's gone really cold this afternoon. I might have to put the heating on in the flat (but am a bit scared as not done that before so hopefully it won't break down or leak or something that means calling plumbers out or whatever).

Apart from that, I've had quite a productive day (inspired by Mallory's blog of yesterday). I managed to tidy...

So, I've just been laughing rather hard at "Extras", especially as a friend was in it.

Again Ricky Gervais delivers a remarkable series that is laugh out loud funny, poignant and quite spot on with its criticism of various aspects of life and the media.

I still can't believe he's having a go at the BBC like that and getting them to broadcast it.

And...

Hhmm, a new blog I think...

Not much to say, except if you're in the UK do try and see "Children of Men" at the cinema if it appeals - I thought it was a damn fine film, in fact one of the best I've seen for a while (excluding "Garden State" which I've also not shut up about). It had a lot more going...

I really feel like posting a new blog but don't really know what to put. I did one on MySpaz the other day if you want to check that one out, or in the mean time check back here soon...

Or go and watch Garden State if you haven't already as I waited something like a couple of years and now wish I'd seen it...

There are times when I really enjoy my job and times when I don't.

And you'd think that getting a call from work at 9.20 in the morning, on your first day off after a long shift while you're still asleep in bed getting a lie in, wouldn't be a good thing. But it was!

I was asked to go in and cover a colleague...

Well, it looks like I'm properly back on line (though I need a phone engineer to check the line as it's a bit crappy)

So what's been going on? - well I now have a new home after succesfully moving into the flat (thanks to my Dad and friend Mark over the last 3 weeks) and no longer live in 'The Gate'. I have yet...

Sorry i've been crap at reading blogs and posting comments - but I've been busy painting the new flat and getting ready for the move tomorrow.

So now I'm a home owner and from tommorow I live in my own flat (although with the heat wave it won't be the most pleasant of days to carry sofas etc up a flight of stairs!)

I will...

Yeah, got the keys to my new flat on Friday and have just dropped off some new DIY stuff to start wallpaper stripping and painting in the morning.

So I will be moving out of rented accomodation in 2 weeks and living in my own home for the first time in my 35 years. Can't wait.

And last night was the last time ever of...
