so i'm back at work, it's post-new year and buffy is back in the states.
i've thought a little about starting this site up again, and i think i'll give it a shot. i'm going to redesign1 and then start talking about stuff that i'm doing again.
i spend about 7.5 hours at work every day and do about 1.5 hours of actual work. i busy myself by floating around the internet, and by checking my mail, livejournal and flickr constantly, though little changes. Being able to make some sort of online impact would probably counteract the ever-approaching boredom.
i downloaded an audio book of the davinci code, because i figured everyone else in the world has read it. a couple of months back i suddenly realised that i could do this, as well as get music, and so i downloaded about five or six books. i like written text, especially with something like the davinci code, because i can flick through them and go back to try and work stuff out. but with an audio book i can set up my ipod to play them for a while as i go to bed and fall asleep listening to them. it'll hopefully leave me sleeping earlier, seeing as i have to wake up early in the morning again. i think i'm up to chapter 72, or somewhere near. it's fairly good so far, but dramatic car escapes don't really work in spoken word. or text, i guess.
yesterday after work was pretty slow. it's my flatmate martin's birthday today, and he made that well known. we're off out for a curry on friday night, this time i'll stick to a milder curry. i swear that restaurants here make them hotter because the british want it incredibly spicy. buffy and i found that out the hard way. still, the naan was okay. and that yoghurty drink was curiously addictive. it got better the more i drank of it, for some reason.
i ate the last of the fruity pebbles i bought in america. it was a sad day. i'll buy a bigger box next time. i guess buffy ate half, but that's okay. it was probably the only joy she had over here2
oh yeah, i should also mention that the new beck album is pretty awesome. everyone should buy the finished thing when it comes out. and also buy beck a cup of tea.
my plans for tonight? maybe go to the cinema to watch napoleon dynamite, wish martin a happy birthday, maybe a quick trip to the pub with the guys. who knows? expect a thrilling account tomorrow!
1 man, in the old days i loved to redesign. at one point i think i had four or five going at a time. i have a couple of ideas now though. i'll scope out the inter-web for ideas.
