New Years Resolution’s

Published on December 31, 2005 in Life. 0 Comments
Everyone’s got them, and here are my 6 :)

1. Actually save some money for a change!
2. Goto Liverpool and actually come out alive (last time didn’t go so well)
3. Stop eating crap food that people keep feeding me at work
4. Download three times as much as I did in 2005
5. To find out how cows actually make milk
6. Start using a camera a lot more as I once did.

There ya go! Not the best of resolutions, but definately ones which I hope to fulfil as 2006 approaches the Uk in a good few hours time. Happy New Year people!

As the year’s end approaches…

Bit pished like
2×1tr bottles of Baileys, and 1x bottle of Jack Daniels, resulted in this mess upon my desk…
Mince pies, countless chocs - though I am a former chocoholic, lord knows how many alcoholic drinks had taken their toll on me after Xmas night, to the point where I could barely clamber up the stairs to my room. Suffice to say Xmas with the family (that be mommy & daddy!) was quite a laugh. The neighbours popped over with their new puppy thing which decided to ram our xmas tree head on resulting in the fluffball getting a headache - it was a real tree!

My new baby!

Google’s top search terms of 2005

Every year this happens, and I find it interesting to see what the top celeb/popstar/gimp/item’s were searched for on google. 2005’s results seen here on the BBC are a bit odd…
How the hell did Janet Jackson become the top searched for entry I ask? What the hell has she done in 2005 to warrant this, apart from her boobs spilling out at the superbowl? I’d orignally expected Wacko Jacko to be no.1.

1: Janet Jackson (boobies!?)
2: Hurricane Katrina
3: Tsunami
4: Xbox 360 (yay!)
5: Brad Pitt
6: Michael Jackson
7: American Idol
8: Britney Spears (sex tape no doubt)
9: Angelina Jolie (corr!)
10: Harry Potter (ugly goit)

Xmas is here!

w00t! Xmas is here, and I’ve got two weeks of freedom to attempt to work on bits of this weblog, where in reality I’ll be spending hours just fixing things I’ve broken. So Xmas…it’s that time of the year again! Time flies doesn’t it? I mean, I can still remember precisely what I was doing last xmas on this very day, which really worries me to some extent because I should ask myself as to weather 2005 has been that dull a year that I can recall the events from the previous year.

To be honest 2005 has been the best year in a very, very long time. Things on the job front were brilliant, finances good, love life=non existant, and most of all I’ve met some amazing people at work. Oh, and I got a lovely Cow xmas card from a mate! Brilliant! Cheers Pr!

The life of an addict day 3

Arrghh just ooone more lap of project gotham racing! I’ve become an addict already playing it over xbox live! For two days upon returning home from work I have played for hours non stop and completely forgotten to eat some dinner. It’s so bad that I may not even work this weekend, must get a faster car!

Xbox 360 withdrawal symptoms

Feel cold and sweaty while I await my VGA cable from play.com, just so I can actually use the sodding console on my decent TFT screens instead of a piddly 14" TV with a mono speaker. It’s so bad that I cannot bear to play Project Gotham Racing 3 in such horrible fashion. Urgh! Bring on Tuesday 13th!

Sleeping through a Fuel Depot explosion…

So, I’m snoozing away at 06:00 this Sunday morning completely unaware that half my street had woken up to the sound of a thunderous explosion. Houses as far as Watford shook, and I’ve no idea about ours but I somehow assumed it was the phone ringing so I went back to sleep. Meanwhile my father is running around thinking there was a car crash outside due to the colossal fog. The Fuel Depot in exploded sending out plumes of smoke which could be seen for miles. Photo’s can be found at Flickr!

Update!

I’m still busy making changes to the blog, as well as learning about PHP and other malarky to modify various files here and there. Now that December is here, I’ve suddenly got myself a crisis! Too much to do, and bugger all time to do it!

Five Xmas parties from work alone!
Still have to buy presents!
Still have yet to send out xmas cards!
Still can’t find a flamin Xbox 360! - Got one!
Still need to find a nice black, dark and dangerous shirt to buy for said xmas party…
Electricity, Phone and Gas bill arrived this morning.

Oh and because it’s all cold over here in the Uk, getting a bus on time that isn’t packed to bursting is about as hard as finding an Xbox 360 right now. Packed with squabbling children who get in for free, packed with old people and their giant zimmer frames or buggy things, either that or it’s packed with women shoppers who carry around half of Harrods in their hands! Don’t you just love December?
