Odd sort of spinny spacey day, but things got done so all good. Off to visit the flotskyfamily tomorrow, so will prolly be quiet for a couple of days. I note that I was wrong about a link to the Harry Hill Book appearing.

Bought the day before yesterday the harry hill book, Flight from Deathrow. Absolutely barking genius. Not a literary classic, but bastard surreal and funny. This time tomorrow there will probably be a link to the book.

i must confess to a passing fascination with kebabs and marinade at the moment. There doesn’t seem to be a meat in the land that cannot be improved by soaking it in yoghurt and spices for a day or two. They are never going to replace gaming in my life, but they are going to improve my meat flavouring.

I feel it is time to admit something, something I have only vaguely been aware of, and have slowly realised over the course of time. I steal pens.

A lot.

If I go to a desk, I use a pen. If I use a pen, I take the pen. I have ridiculous amounts of pens in my desk that I never intended to take, nor need. But take them I do. I honestly think it is absent-mindedness.

If you know me and you think I may have taken your pen, please let me know and I will return it if I have it. i never meant to take it. I just do.

I also have a belief that I have one good article in me about how the majority of what gives me hope for humanity can be found by watching Eurosport. More of that another day, I think it is best to take things one step at a time.

Strange drawn out day, hoping and waiting for a couple of things to happen so other things can happen. That sort of day. Have bought birthday cards aplenty for the official family month of birthdays (four of us including me, and Valentines Day also thrown in for good measure). I may be getting older, more stupid, less hair, more wrinkled, but at least I am learning slowly to write things down so I remember to do them (mainly). Stupidity and old age can bring wisdom in their own sweet way.

Went out with S for a walk today, ended up walking for 5 miles! Went down to Sandford along the river and back, with a stop off at The Kings Arms there, which I can recommend for many reasons, not least that it is the only place I’ve ever seen which has a Marine Fishing arcade machine. Bizarro game, with a fishing rod for a controller, but great, subtle in a bizarre Japanese way.

was really good to get out into the countryside for a decent walk. It was a really fresh gorgeous day today. Cold, but that didn’t matter. Muddy, but that didn’t matter. Just walking for hours, talking and relaxing. Good day.

I’ve just this second received the following
Spam . for the love of christ, lose weight with Apple Cider Vinegar tablets. At least fucking lie and call them choco-diet happy love pills or something. If you think that this is a good way to market, call them fecal matter brown mouth stain pills.

been busy. clearly. have decorated my first room in about 7 years. the walls have got taller in general since i last did that. Now own an N64, super Mario 64, F-Zero X, Banjo Kazooie, 1080 Snowboarding and a transfer pak for when I track down a cheap copy of Pokemon Stadium.

past week has been really busy. Didn’t get up to that much at the weekend, but it seems like it went really fast. Will attempt to slow the weekend down some. Might have a meal out with S which works for me. Definitely a bit of gaming. And hopefully some writing. Maybe even the odd diary entry

that sort of comment usually means I wont…

Heavier going today, workwise at least, just a very long busy day. Sorted now, sat at home with Cut Chemist’s Lesson 6 playing, which is one of the madder subtle tracks I’ve heard in a long time. Actually very relaxed now, if a little cold it seemed like it might snow properly today, which it should. I am really due some proper snow. We just had crap southern english snow today, which was pointless and lasted all of ten minutes. I want a good blizzard or two, even if I suppose it won’t ultimately help with the flooding in Oxford.

GAME BOY ADVANCE SP!!!!!!!!!!

New Year and all that. I guess I tend to update this when I’m at work, and having not really been at work much for quite a while, I haven’t. So there it is, a happy New Year to all my readers.

Had the Christmas Day at home with S, and then New Year with her Parents, which was very relaxing. Am now primed and ready for a New Year of motivation, weight-loss, fitness, and er, lots of gaming too. All of those and marriage too.

Actually serious about the weight-loss, in fact all of those things. Am aiming to lose two stone this year. Yeah right I hear you cry. Welllllll, we’ll see. But I am going to have a go properly.

Oxford at the moment is flooded. Luckily we live a little uphill from the river, so we haven’t and hopefully won’t be affected. But it is bad, two of the main roads have been shut off. May well take a wander down to see what has been going on tonight (well that counts towards my fitness regime too).
