Right, it was about May since my last post, so here’s the whirlwind update:
- I quit my old job, as I wasn’t enjoying it, it was stressing me out too much and eating away most of my time. I was unemployed for a month, and now I am temping. I needed the money.
- I have got hooked onto a new tv show – Burn Notice. The US doesn’t make episodes fast enough for me, and I’ve already caught up watching it into the current (second) season.
- I had fun in London with my girlfriend at the start of July for a week’s holiday. We went to see Avenue Q – it is awesome, go see it now. We then pottered around back at her parent’s house, and had fun.
- Laura’s birthday has been and gone, but her birthday party is this weekend. Its a pyjama party, across two rooms for different movie styles (one cute and cuddly, one horror/action/b-movie). There will be alcohol, and photos aplenty.
- We have a gig on Friday the 22nd August at the Actress and Biship in Birmingham. Come see us, we’ll rock your socks off…..or something to that effect……..
- Douglas Furs have some really cool photos done by Katie’s firend Gordon. He is awesome too, bow down to his über-camera skills.
- James has modified some photos for us and put them up as kind of profile pics on Myspace. They’re very good.
- I now have a moustache and beard. Laura has yet to complain about it. My Dad said I was fury, my Mum said I looked like my Grandad with a beard, which I think is the best compliment so far. Amongst others, the comments so far have been:
-”What is that on your face?”
-”So when are you planning on growing this beard?”
-”HA!”
-”He looks a bit like Huey from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals doesn’t he?”
-”Its not as bad as I thought it would be when you told me.”
-”Give him a berret, a string of onions, and a stripey shirt and you’d swear we were in France”
-”Cool Mexican-beardy thing you’ve got there.”
Either way, I like it. - Introversion Software make ace games – Darwinia and Uplink are great fun, especially at just over £12 for both off Steam. I still haven’t completed Uplink yet though. Not enough time.. my brother tells me Defcon is good as well. Do you want to play Global Thermo Nuclear War?
- The trailer for Watchmen (and I don’t care what anyone else says) is awesome. I nearly creamed my jeans the first time I saw it, and when we went to see The Dark Knight, I actually gasped. Speaking of which…
- The Dark Knight is brilliant. I was worried (as were a lot of my friends) that people would only say it was good because of heath ledger’s death, but it was GREAT!!! Wall-E was good too.
And I should probably get back to work now…..
