Ivan Massow – love him or hate him – or have an unbiased discussion about his career. I personally think he has a flair for self promotion – even more than Sno – of out in the UK fame. At least Sno hasn’t put his picture on the login page

shopping by mobile

scally is in abercrombie and fitch @ Dulles Town Center and has called me to see what it was I wanted him to get me while he was over – handing me over to the sales guy so I could explain – how completely random? needless to say they did not have what I wanted in small – no surprise there really šŸ™

too early :(

At 08:45 today – yes that is normally when I am leaving for work – I was at the Warner Village Cinema in Shepherd’s Bush feeling very sorry for myself. However I was not alone – our entire office where there – no it wasn’t a sneak preview of Ocean’s Eleven but a company meeting.

So we wandered into screen 9 expecting the usual set up of important people talking from the front only to be confronted by adverts for all of WarnerBros current offerings including the dubiously named eight legged freaks. I mean hello – 09:00 and scared out my wits by a trailer of a film with huge spiders. I mean come on that is so unfair I was expecting to be bored shitless not scared shitless.

They didn’t disappoint though we had the important people talking from the front after the trailers.

weekend review

Saturday saw me in Brixton with Oliver again – getting mightily hammered and talking sex and girlfriends and stuff.
Blogger ‘A’ and Blogger ‘B’ where down my local pub for Sunday Roast this week – which was very nice šŸ™‚ Also there were Jacs & Helen and Spence & Glenn. After gorging ourselves on stupidly large plates of Turkey and Beef dinners we opted for pudding and coffees too – The girls won a huge box of Milk Tray in the raffle and then Blagger’A’ and Blogger ‘B’ went to see Monsters Inc.
I enjoyed my night a lot snuggling on the sofa and watching sunday night TV after the movies and food with friends – a good end to a good weekend.

spelling

no not the dumb cow related to the nepotistic producer my spelling – or lack of it actually.dave@work pointed it out – I’m not sure if I just can’t spell or if it’s the microsoft natural keyboard or the learning to touch type and not look at my hands that’s making it so bad at the moment.

viewpoint

normally it’s jonathan who is getting excited over technology – but today it’s me for a change – no I haven’t bought anything! I have discovered viewpoint though and think it’s brilliant. Although I never got around to learning flash – so I reckon learning viewpoint is so not going to happen. Still it’s nice to play with their demos if nothing else .

justice

is it my imagination or has the world gone completely mad? well actually just English Law but the world sounds grander. mobile phone theif gets 4 years versus 2 years for raping a six year old boy [wednesday’s metro]

no I don’t work for SKY

but I do recommend scrubs so if you don’t have cable or a dish you can come around to mine next thursday – I haven’t laughed so much in ages. Really really funny. Oh and yes I was procrastinating still – I was supposed to be painting my hallway – but TV for once was calling me who was I to say no! Definite reason to stay in or set the viseo for thursday nights.

looking for any old excuse

to not continue writing a consultancy document for work. It’s one of my 3 month Goals I was given last week and although the subject matter interests me [Rich Media] writing the actual documentation is boring as hell – oh and scary too – remember when you were at college and you would spend 5 hours formatting the damn thing before writing anything? well I am there now – wondering what to include where to include it and now generally procrastinating so I don’t have to think too hard.
Thinking after all has never been one of my strong points. In fact thinking and generally using my brain – unless I’m forced to is something I tend to avoid. So I may have to go revisit the laser game or something equally inane in order to stave of the work pangs which are trying to get me to write this doc and complete 1/3 of my goals in the first week.
