Yeah, the blogs stopped. I got annoyed at myself for being uninteresting and a trip to cornwall kinda got in the way of things. But here’s a nice catch up. Valentines was spent at work. I decided not to take my mature gentleman admirer up on his offers, despite how thouroughly he had aroused me. A belated valentines day was, oddly enough, spent with my exes. First I went round to...

I thought I’d be lonely on Valentines day once more, but it appears I have an admirer. Unfortunately, it’s a perverted old man. Great. Here’s the backstory. There’s this old guy who I’ve seen around Leamington LOADS in the past few years. He’s really recogniseable because he doesn’t look old in his face. What I mean is, he doesn’t have a craggy old...

The writers strike is over! Huzzah! However, my favourite shows are left in tatters for this year. Lost has 6 episodes left to air, and they might make another 8 so the 16 episode series could be completed as planned. Prison Break is left short at 13 episodes- that might be the end of the series or it might go back on hiatus (we’ll find out next week). Heroes was cut short after 11 episodes,...

Here is the story of my bizarre dream. I awoke in India. It was exactly the same as home; my room was exactly the same and I had a view into a garden that was exactly the same as mine, but I knew it was India for some reason. I kept twitching and scratching from all the bugs flying around and landing on me. I opened the window because my room was stuffy. Outside, I saw Josh, Max and Poppy all...

Something that annoys me is when you talk to someone about something you’re interested in and they just completely shoot you down with their own opinions or experiences. What’s brought this up is when I had a chat with a guy who I think is called Ahmed. Ahmed (if that is actually his name) is the guy who works at the ‘free windscreen chip repair’ tent outside work. On a...

Man, being creative about my day is an effort when nothing happens. I’d put that effort in normally, but I’m a few days behind and its half midnight. Saturday was (of course) a work day, but it was kind of dominated by the fact that I had been invited out for Steph’s birthday after work. Now, I don’t really have anything against Steph, she’s my age so I feel like I...

Alex couldn’t be here to write his blog today, so I’ll write it instead. It doesn’t matter who I am. He was meant to wake up early today, but as usual didn’t. His iPod started playing at 8 I think it was, but he turned it down and it played and played until he actually got up at 12 and lazed about as normal. He spends too much damn time at that computer, he’s probably...

I got reading the ‘Guinness book of records 2008: Gamers edition’ at work due to there being nothing to do. I read a little bit about Manhunt 2 and how it was banned several times last year due to the sheer amount of violence in it. I was reading something about it on a website that said that with the Wii remote, you have to saw off someones penis before the opening credits, and then...

Here is the story of a traumatic event that happened to me today. She told me to take a seat. The chair was covered in plastic sheets, which unnerved me. Not knowing what to say in a situation where pain was inevitable, I said nothing at all. She asked me a question and I knew the answer she was digging for, but I feigned a lie. She told me it wasn’t good enough and knocked the chair...

My current favourite TV show is one called ‘It’s always sunny in Philidelphia’. It’s quite hilarious. This is exactly the kind of comedy I would like to write. It’s about these three guys and a girl who own an irish-style bar and I feel like I’m on the same kind of level of mentality as them. Episodes involve very Curb-esque ‘oh no’ plots, like...

Idiot Customers of the Week (A middle aged couple come in. They hand me a Blockbuster.co.uk voucher for 1 months free rentals) Customers: Can we use this please? Me: Erm, I’ve not seen one of these before….Ah, it’s an online thing. You get the free rentals with Blockbuster.co.uk. Customers: Well we’re here now, can’t we just do it here rather than doing it online? Me:...

I was awoken by the theme to Jurassic Park by John Williams, thanks to the YTMND sountracks plaguing my iPod. Hearing this filled me with a sense of fear and shame. Partly because I hadn’t watched Jurassic Park in so long, despite it being one of my favourite films ever, and partly because I had to walk to work and was late. I got to work just in time at 10am and decided to take advantage of...

I told everyone at work about how awesome Cloverfield was and recieved largely sceptical reactions. Fools! They don’t know cool movies when they see them. They haven’t even seen it! Even customers who were renting things like Transformers, the most overrated film of last year, gave me odd looks. I had a bizarre chat with Mike (although it was more just him talking at me) about...

This day was a J. J. Abrams dedicated day. Cloverfield was released today after much overhype. Anna and I booked some tickets and went to see it after a bit of shopping. I got some new shoes (finally!) and bought her a christmas present of her choosing (finally!). Cloverfield was really awesome, which is what I was hoping since I’ve been annoyed about the hype. I don’t know how that...

I got woken up today by a call from work asking if I wanted a shift. I didn’t even hesitate as it seems like my hours have been cut a little and i still need another grand before march 1st. I spent the few hours before work researching my destinations. I looked up addresses to write down for my dad for emergencies and also looked up my hotels and hostels on google earth. This was pretty fun-...
