Guess its about time for a real update this time , quite enjoyed dreaming up that last one though
*I am ill yet again , how many colds can be inflicted on one guy over such a short space of time ? . Im guessing its probably because I have had one apple and one orange in the last month ..and the fact that its bloody freezing . Got to look after myself a bit better come 2005 I think... well I have the intention too anyway.
*After a year and a half of doing it I finally got called into the little room where people get taken to be shouted at and told off about my skiving and super long lunches . She (boss lady) noticed I took a 2 and a quarter hour lunch on friday and only claimed for 20 minutes ... a wee bit cheeky even by my standards . So im on my best behaviour now or I get a written warning.
*I have my person for the secret santa thingy at work ..the poor girl is getting a tin of Sild (oooh juicy sild) , some stock cubes and the crown jewel I found in the charity shop ..*drumroll* ...a tape of 'The Surrey Constabulary Male Vocal Choir'
*Got a good haul in the charity shops round here , me and Danny did the grand tour of duty on saturday . I got a couple of snazzy jackets , a cd of old hip hop classics , 3 cassettes - Direstraits - Brothers In Arms , INXS - Kick and The Phantom Of The Opera soundtrack . Came to under 20 in all
*I want to take a moment to recomend this book :
The man has one hell of a fascinating tale to tell , its alot more interesting than Bob Dylans book . Ostrich attacks , amphetamine addiction , meeting Nixon , talking about his faith in a non irritating preachy way...to name a few things . Even if your not a fan its a very good read.
*I've been going through a bit of an autobiography phase lately , going to try and get back into my fiction as I haven't read any probably in 6 months and its useful for my writing course . So I have the collected short stories and poems of Edgar Allen Poe to keep me going , at least with short stories I can dip into it from time to time as the books bigger than the bible ..a bit much to tackle in one go.
*My I am sounding very cultured in this entry ..which leads me to .. I went to the theatre the other night and I really enjoyed it . Kat and myself went to see 'Cloaca' at the Old Vic theatre in Waterloo ...a group of friends getting together in there 40's and going through a bit of a "what am I doing with my life" time ... its quite difficult to sum up really but it was rather good all the same . So I have a bit of a taste for it now , as all I had seen before that was 'The Phantom Of The Opera' and a couple of christmas pantos... pretty poor really ...so i'd like to do more.
*Saw Blade Trinity the other night ... not bad at all .. much the same kind of deal as the first two , but with alot more comedy from Blades new sidekicks thrown in . Wouldn't buy it but it was a good couple of hours fun . Theres a couple of other films that interest me coming out too - Garden State and Lemony Snicket.
*Got tickets for the Motley Crue reunion tour next year
*Have done most of my christmas shopping now ..thanks to good old Amazon.co.uk (what would I do without you? ... have to go out in the cold with all those people is what). Still not really in the mood for it ... humbug and all that
.
Still have only written one card so far , just can't be bothered with it all to be honest ..same old same old every year . Im looking forward to the parties and gatherings that I have lined up with various people and the chance to see my friends , but I would be looking forward to those whatever time of the year it was.
*Gah im cold , tired , ill *whinge* *moan*
I think I shall call this a day before this entry heads down the whiny emo route (I can feel one of those coming up)
