flashback time

one of the advantages of my PowerPC G4 is that it comes with iTunes and has a 20Gb hard drive so my 2130 songs or around 7 days of music fit comfortably.
The other advantage is the randomising feature on the playlist – so I can listen to stuff I haven’t heard in quite literally years. The Promise – When in Rome was a classic from the 1980’s which I played incessantly way back when. So I’m curtrently wandering down memory lane with music from my youth whilst working on the most mundane project in the world đŸ™‚

*bounce*

Blogger E is bouncing around due to the impending ‘date’ with the current man of the moment. Who has failed to put out yet.
Blogger E: No one has ever resisted this long

bless the optimism of youth đŸ˜‰

unrequited love


I went to see ‘The Fluffer‘ last night after seeing Adam and agreeing to take some photo’s and a very pleasant if somewhat unnerving chat about blogging, community and if there was anyone I wouldn’t want to read this blog .
The film was very funny and company was good too. Spence and Glenn, Colin & Dave [nice taste in A&F clothing]. I found myself laughing all the way through the film which was good – welcome light relief really – I like films with humour and drama.
Finally to end the evening it was a dash over to Retro Bar to grab a fleeting kiss off Blogger A and then home.
Glenn and I decided at the tube station that suited and booted guys are kinda cute – I miss not working in an environment where men are in suits. I mean I am glad I don’t have to wear one but I do like to see other people in them!
So anyways the chat with Adam came back to me so I decided since I may blog about said guy it was a good enough excuse to randomly take his picture. [Okay I didn’t really need an excuse he was cute] and then I thought about Simon‘s entry about people being in other peoples photographs – this was a definite case of tottycam though – it wasn’t a random person in the background. He was the focus of the shot but Glenn was there to make it slightly less obvious.
When I got home took Jack out for a wander too and came back and went online as I wasn’t tired – funny how my work day was a nightmare but my evening was just as hectic but much more pleasant.

i wouldn’t have believed it

had I not experienced it myself. Ian tells a tale of woe and Electricity salesmen. I came home to see 3 men standing outside my communal front door talking to my neighbour. He was looking flustered I asked if he was okay and they then started to ask me questions. I had just stepped off a packed commuter train and in no mood to be trifled with.
Allegedly they were just doing meter readings – they had NPower badges on – both my neighbour and I use NPower already – they suddenly changed tack when I told them we had NPower – all of a sudden they no longer wanted to come in and read the meter but were just in the area to let us know meter readers would be around soon.
NPower customer service were not very useful when I called to complain.
I am changing my supplier.
