Haven’t I been slack with the updates? been so busy haven’t really had time.
One thing to note is that I passed my work driving assesment so i’m now allowed to drive company vehicles 🙂
More to follow soon I promise!
Firefly
A guy at work lent this to me due to the fact that I enjoyed the film Serenity.
Outline
Basically it tells the Serenity story buy in series form.
Conclusion
I’m hooked! the DVD boxset contains all 14 episodes and although I haven’t seen all of them yet each one leaves me wanting for more. The best ones i’ve watched so far are “Our Mrs. Reynolds,” “Jaynestown,” and “Out of Gas,”.
Raj’s Attestation
Went to see Raj get attested last night. Everyone looked smart in their uniforms. The ceremony was good and the recruits seemed very proud of what they’d achieved, Joe managed to be late and turn up half way through ha!.
It was then off to the pub for a few jars before making the hour long journey home.
Hannibal Rising Movie
Went and saw this today.
Outline
The story is about how he came to be was good, starting with his youth during WW2 in 1944. And 8 years later, the main plot line unfolds showing him becoming a medical school student in France where he begins to learn of the many body parts that make a human work.
Conclusion
In all honesty I wasn’t overly impressed with this film. For me it seemed slow and at nearly 2 hours long it left me longing for the end credits. That said it does paint the picture of why Hannibal is the way he is, the locations/sets are well thought out and do add to the eariness of it all.
Wait for the DVD
Happy Birthday To Me!
Yup another birthday and another year older, god don’t the years creep up on you!
Birthday Do
Finished work then it was off to the pub for a couple of jars. Scott and Raj turned up as well which was nice, we’re off to Raj’s parade next month to heckle him 🙂 After drinks and giving a couple who were only a shandy away from having sex on the table one last look we headed off to the local curry house. Great meal was had and thanks to Graham none of us had to pay anything, cheers mate.
One thing a lot of people learnt that night was….
King Cobra Beer
Is bad, and at ABV. 8% i’m not surprised!
They also got me a new torch that I wanted and some vouchers
What a great bunch of people I work with….
Why O Why?
Why do people on crowded trains insist on standing and reading their times newspaper that takes up half a carriage alone. Surely they must see everyones fighting for their inch of terroitry!
Drones
My course is going well and the end is nigh. During this weeks daily battle with the wonder that is public transport and while coming down on the esculator I looked over to my right at the up esculator and thought that the people on it are like drones they don’t look at anyone, don’t talk, don’t smile, but just sip from their luke ware starbucks coffe and browse the mornings metro. I also wondered if they’d actually notice if the top of the escualtor wasn’t infact an entrance to the station but rather a 500 ft shear drop and they’d all unwittingly plunge to their squishy death in a lemmings style freny.
Snow Madness
It wasn’t until someone mentioned on a forum that they’d had snow overnight that I actually looked out my room window to notice that i’d been hit with it as well. Can’t be too bad I thought it’s only surface stuff. But I was wrong, apart from nearly breaking some sort of bone by slip slidding down the pavement with my psh shoes which should be advertised as skies due to the lack of grip the journey was to prove much worse. Got to the station, track was clear no snow but then the announcement came, “train has just left Watford and will arrive in 15 mins”. No problem I thought, but 15 mins came and went and the station filled up causing people to huddle together like penguins. FINALLY the train came and we squeezed on like cattle. My subsequent trains were no different and I was glad for my Mc’ds breakfast at the end.
Wot No Bins
Started a week long training course today which meant I had to travel to Victoria station. Now seeing as i’d arived early I decided to get a bite to eat as in my egarness this morning i’d forgotten about breakfast. I had a hot snack and then set about the disposal of my rubbish and do you know what? I couldn’t find a sodding bin anywhere! I trapssed all over the main station promanade but not a single one in sight, I ended up throwing it away in a council bin outside. What’s the story with that then? why no bins? however on my waste disposal rampage I noticed at the same time that there was no litter on the floors?
