New episode of Shadow Unit was up yesterday morning, so spent a while reading that - then found the livejournals of some of the characters & spent a largish chunk of the evening reading my way through the archives of them. Seeing real people interacting with fictional people as if they were real breaks my head somewhat, tho ;) Shadow Unit is a TV ( Read more... )

Oops, that was a week or so ( Read more... )

We had a weekend :) It mostly consisted of lots of computer games, some cake, some other tasty foods and lots of beer. Yesterday it was heavily skewed towards the Beer! end of the spectrum. We headed out to the pub in the afternoon - original plan was to go to The Lord Nelson for a pint, then on to the Dove for another. But the Nelson was shut ( Read more... )

Cooked something else new for dinner last night from my chinese cookery book - I think I've pretty much run out of dishes that look edible (or cookable) now. There's loads of things with fish/seafood or kidney or liver, but none of those appeal at all. And there's some things that look like they might be nice but involve buying a steamer ( Read more... )

Spent most of the afternoon shooting rocks1, with a small pause to ban someone with an offensive nick on one of the jolt servers. Then spent a chunk of the evening shooting people2, with a longer pause to watch Torchwood ( Read more... )

The roast I cooked for yesterday's lunch was a bit of a disaster :( Nice looking chicken (well, as much as raw bird ever is), cooked it, got everything ready, started to carve it and discovered it was green inside! Which was rather grim :/ It wasn't all of it, just in near the breast bone. But given we didn't know what the problem was, we ( Read more... )

Somehow my plan of posting more often and not doing catch up posts fell by the way side again. This does have something to do with the fact that a lot of what I'm doing at the moment is playing computer games which I feel is a trifle dull for those who don't play and probably not that interesting to read about even for those who do play ( Read more... )

On Saturday we started the run of gigs for the rest of the year (7 in 4 months, 4 of which are in a little over 2 weeks) :) Saturday's was particularly "exciting" as we were going to drive into London rather than train/hotel - mostly because we'd not got our act together in time to get a cheap hotel room. We parked in the car park at Blackhorse ( Read more... )

I've not really been doing stuff that feels worth talking about recently - playing quake4, doing genealogy research, doing housework, hanging out online talking to people. Things that are useful or interesting to me or fun, but not so much to post about. So I've not really been posting (as has probably been obvious ;) ). Tho if I was in the ( Read more... )
