It has been a typical holiday for me to this point. High-minded intentions erased by a wave of overwhelming apathy, leaving behind a residue of despondency and not a little shame. Really the only activity of note over the past 10 days of so can be boiled down to four areas ( Read more... )

Mu-feckin-hahahaaa! Here's to another 10 years ( Read more... )

A lot of last week was consumed by Guild Wars. I cannot spend that amount of time on there this week, too much to do. One other unfortunate side-effect is that although Skype does work, it seems my 6-year-old sound card isnt up to the task, resulting in me being drowned out in conference.

I'm expecting petauk to turn up at any moment, so we'll see how much of my vacation time I get written up between now and then.

Didn't do much. Wow, that went well.

Oh, all right, there was slightly more to it than that. Following on from the Chow Yun Fat experience, I was back at the cinema again, this time with thewick, for Shanghai Knights last Wednesday. ( Read more... )

Have spent today with render in Glasgow, chilling out before his trip to Narnia (sounds like a banana republic if you ask me ;P ). He very kindly started work on my DVD list by getting me Strange Days, Axe Murderer (Heid!!), and X-Men 1.5 - thank you for that!
