Oops...

Actually, I have a good excuse this time. I have been tring to stay awayf rom computer related business so that I can have a bit more time in my life. It's weird but when I was working nights I seemes to have a lot more time to myself but now I feel like I'm being spread pretty thin. I'm looking at a seven day working stretch now and that just seems nightmarish from this angle. The problem is that I will be doing 5 days of 4pm until midnight shifts and one of those will get in the way of something brilliant happening:

The Colonel has said he will return for the weekend!!!

Hopefully I will be able to take Bank Holiday Monday off so the fun can continue for an extra day. I've applied for it so now it's just a matter of time.

Alex and myself had another movie and booze night on Wednesday which was cool. The movies of choice this time were From Hell, Phone Booth and Spy Game. I'm hoping I didn't scare Alex with my facts about the Ripper murders but the whole thing has fascinated me since I was little. Hang on...

...He says "No".

We knocked back a good number of Bud Ices and then, just near the beginning of "Phone Booth" Colin Farrell's character had to go and mention "Jameson's". Now, I'm not a scotch drinker but if you wave a good Irish Whisky in front of me - I'm yours. (un)Fortunately I alway keep a bottle around for just such an emergency so I ran off to the kitchen to indulge - fantastic.

Last night I saw Alison who came round to drop off some stuff I had left behind and she tells me she's off to Russia!! It sounds really exciting so I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.

Oh yeah, I came second in the photo contest by 1 vote. Still not bad for a first attempt.

Back, rested and back to work... Bummer... Enough of the moaning already!! I have just spent one of the most amazing weeks of my life with some of the most special people I know and I'm riding high because of it. So what have I been up to? Funny you should ask... I got tattooed. It's been a long time coming (somewhere around 15 years) but I finally found something that I would be happy spending the rest of my life with. I had often thought about the usual stuff, things like band names or other pop culture icons that would instantly tell people who I was or maybe even something a little out of the ordinary. At one point I had the idea of combining the lot and having a barcode tattoo which would actually be the barcode of my favourite album. The problem there is that opinions change as does technology, barcodes will become obsolete and I would be left with the equivalent of a tattoo that reads two-and-sixpence!! Inspired by the lovely Ms Hamstera I went to a tattoo pa...

Very short and sweet today but there is another good reason. This will be my last entry until I have moved to the new house and got myself sorted out. Thankfully not very much has happened but I feel like I've accomplished quite a lot. I have organised a moving posse for Tuesday which includes (drumroll) The Colonel!! He is taking time out to come up from Exeter just to see me and to help me move - what a guy. Alex is going to borrow a big van from his Dad and everyone else has offered to muck in for the night. Looks like everything is going to go swimmingly. I will be back on Wednesday (assuming the installation goes through without a hitch) so I'll blog-it-up big then. Cheers to you all and BIG LOVE. Leave me some comments - I'm beginning to feel unloved Today's Word: CULMINATION Today's Mood: Bowl of Cherries... Plate of Oysters... Nuff said

Hmmm... I have to admit that this internet absence thing is becoming weirder by the minute. I haven't dropped it completely like I did a while ago and I have left myself available to some people. It seems that one of those people (who I will refer to as Dave even though it is not her real name) has been "found out". She has/had two blogs - a weebl blog and a personal blog - which I read on a regular basis but they were found by her boss and now she is facing problems because of them. The trouble is that her boss thinks that they over-stepped the mark on a few occasions (especially when she was talking about colleagues and taking "sickies") so they have now been removed. It's a real shame because it has led me to think about what I am writing and how it could effect other people. In all honesty I don't think there is anything that I have written that I would not admit to someone face-to-face, and I'm sure that "Dave's" would say...
