Up & Down

Well, it’s been an interesting week in Graham land…

I had an enjoyable evening with Miss Ellis – we went to see ‘Strange Than Fiction’, a film with a man I detest (Will Ferrell). Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I knew I would. It was a choice between that and Pan’s Labyrinth, and I think that film will be better enjoyed in The Box at FACT – I was in the mood for an enjoyable comedy and that’s what I got. Very interesting premise and well executed. Someone from work was also there, although I didn’t see him (he told me yesterday in work he saw me. Yes my life is this fascinating!).

My increased overdraft with NatWest went through, and I went a-spending on some lovely new items for ‘New Room’. Sadly a few of the items I wanted were out of stock, but hopefully I’ll pick them up before Sarah comes home this Xmas to help me decorate. They haven’t delivered the blinds cutter and cleaning kit yesterday, but I’ve filed my missing item query.

Speaking of decorations, it’s the turn of Vicky and Jon to decorate for the IT Festive Desk (still not sure on that title). There are a few clashes (gold and red – no, silver and purple – no wait, gold and red – etc.), but it’s shaping up nicely. I’ll need a haircut soon though if I’m to avoid a repeat of XHS (Xmas Hat Syndrome). And all my devices with an LCD are showing my lovely Xmas background, and my ZEN is getting a boost with more festive tunes! Also had my Xmas meal with the team last night – a very enjoyable affair, but they didn’t half show their age with talks of ‘David Essex’ and ‘Vision On’, whatever those are. And I like some old stuff! Although the night was tainted by me suffering third-degree burns by the hands of an arsonist!

Major downs have happened to. Firstly, I hate hoodies – I feel for you my little strawberry! And poor James Kim from CNET has passed away trying to save his family. Very sad, but being a tech editor and writer you’d think he’d have some gadgetry – strange indeed.

Well, that’s the recap sorted. I’ll get on with some themed posts now.

Until next time – take some chances and be careful, it’s not always a friendly world out there.
