the future freaks me out

Prequel to the weekend, should be awesome going out on the lash to celebrate JC's exam results, will see how many people I haven't seen in 5 years give me grief (dear me)... But here's hoping the rain stays away so we can have a BBQ first.

Tracey is happy cos there's a grand prix and then we have a party at Angela Raes then get to wake up monday and be off work still... hurrah for bank holidays... Need to go shopping first though, cards and meat on the agenda...

Its been a good week i hope it will maintain such goodness

The weakends

its been a pretty good weekend this one. Its been planned for a while mainly because it involved a wedding and weddings usually are planned. Alex and Ben got hitched at the Cluny which is an odd but great venue for a wedding, my participation in the day mainly involved standing around drinking Peroni with Carter, Tracey, Jane, Sophie and Craig... Drinking peroni with people in the cluny isn't the most unique Saturday afternoon activity I admit BUT i was wearing a fairly expensive and somewhat dapper suit...

Spent my Sunday watching 'inception' at the Tyneside cinema its got to be said I love that place, Newcastle is a pretty good place to live but its made far more awesome by the Tyneside. Since I've been a member, I've had some really good times there from seeing films i wouldn't get to see normally, like 'a prophet' or 'sunshine cleaning' and of course taking part in things like the ever awesome  '24-hour comic challenge'... Plus it makes going to see films a really nice experience, the staff are nice, it sells good beer, there are no chavs, if you want to eat the foot in the cafe is proper food... I dunno some places just make sense in your life, if that makes sense... Anyway i ramble...Inception itself was pretty good, people said to me it was really complex, i didn't think so it was essentially a heist movie, but with dream levels, but hey what do i know.

In other weekendy news, the football results were as bizarre as they were shite and some epic news has come my way but lets just see how that pans out...

Must be nice

Must be nice to be James Milner, he moved to Man City today and apparently tripled his salary... Guess he's a lucky boy, i'm guessing he'll be about100k a week... I would be lucky to triple my current salary by the time i retire... I'm not complaining, i do alright, and if someone offered me that much money i'd take it i just hope he does some good with it as well as buying a big car and house...

Anyway tonight i'm watching '12 rounds' you need know nothing more than it stars John Cena... Its traceys pick as bizarre as that sounds she loves films like this, and fast and furious... go figure....

If anyone knows anything about fixing laptop booting up problems let me know...

And so it evolves

So on the note of comments about football i spent a large part of the past few weeks swapping innuendo comments about spurs playing 'young boys' from the swiss league, it was looking good when it was 3-0 but sadly spurs nicked 2 back... they'll prob walk the second leg by 3 or 4...


Some people wonder why spurs are disliked aside from Harry 'shake his hand and count how many fingers you get back' Redknapp the club and its supporters have always evoked the type of baseless smugness that most people cant stand (i am one of those people) seeing them fall flat on their faces would have been a most delicious thing indeed... but a brief period of panic amongst them will have to do for now.

Whilst writting this i've been listening to my super dooper exclusive Coheed and Cambria Blackcard download of 'we are juggernaut' in acoustic, its pretty good like, but then i do love coheed to much anyway, the extra investment to get the book with the album was well worth it methinks.

Been a long time

Since i had a blog. I mainly set this up to comment on Tracey but i figure there will be some postings here, mainly a combination of posts about football, technology, cricket, games and of course some lovely webcomic links
