friday funtime

ok i can't believe it's been a week since i last blogged
i'm getting really bad at this ain't i?
that's a rhetorical question before any of you start to answer that! (and no i didn't use the spell checker on rhetorical :oP)
i've been driving around in the beast for the last week, which is why i've been a bit on the quiet side of things, you know how it is, you look for pretty much any excuse to drive when you're got new wheels ;)
it's awesome
although it's a little gay because it's an automatic and i'm used to manual gearbox, but it's all good
i found the diff lock for the 4WD the other day, i've not had a chance to have a play off-road yet, but trust me i'm going to soon :D
made the big error of running it dry the other day, i thought i had enough to get to the petrol station, turns out i was almost right...but not quite, i broke down about 100m from the garage forecourt and had to be pushed the remainder of the way lol...yes i got pushed and didn't do the pushing, i might be stupid for not filling up sooner, but i'm not stupid enough to push the bloody thing! but thanks to my bro and some friends of a friend and not the police, even though they pulled over and asked if everything was ok (it obviously wasn't)...i got the beast to the forecourt and filled her up with £60 worth of diesil (think it could've taken more though)
still she's running nicely now and i know not to believe the fuel gauge when it says it's got between none and 1/4 of a tank left...

other stuff;
i've got my first wedding anniversary thing to DJ tomorrow (at £80 for the night it can't be sniffed at right...especially as it's music i like too) looking forward to it, and i'm feeling more comfortable doing this than i was hosting the quiz...not sure why, but hey...who cares!
been looking online for a vivarium set up (or even some plans to make one myself...yes i can do DIY...just not very well!) FYI the vivarium is for the pending family member Errol...Errol will be a boa constrictor snake, male hopefully as they only get to 8ft in length, females can get to 12 ft...and she'd probably get a complex from being called Errol all the time!
moving in just over 2 weeks, we're looking forward to it, just not looking forward to having to sort through all our shit and get rid of the stuff we've doubled up on or that's too old/too manky/just plain nasty...and believe me we'll have stuff from all them catagories!!
not managed to sell the little pug yet, holding on to it for a little while, no idea why though, but i know that at some point i'll want to get the stereo out of it and put it into the beast! (might do that the week we move as i've got the week off that week)
been applying for a few jobs again, i'm tired and bored of this one, i feel it's time for a change again and so i'm looking at various things at the moment. applied for 2 yesterday and sent my CV off to another one today, hoping to hear back from at least one of these positions, this time if i'm offered the job though i'm going to take it...well probably. applied for one the other day which offered a fully expensed car...nice deal except i've just been and got a new one myself...still doubt i'll get that one anyway so it doesn't matter!
spanish has been out of the office all week this week, it's been busy without him, most irritating thing is that the sales team seem to think that they all have priority over each other and as such seem to think that's it's ok that they can jump the queue all the time
last night it was busy in the pub, but a couple of friends came in and that was cool, one i've not seen since easter, one i've not seen since christmas and one i've not seen since school (or there abouts) it was good to see the 3 of them, just a shame that i couldn't sit with them more and have a decent chat and catch up. i managed some time with them though because the landlord went out earlier in the evening (while it was manic), so when he came back i went out for a little while and chatted to them while i ate something
right well i guess that was the week that was...so here's a song for the weekend:
something new
something chilled
something that i only got yesterday!
Trouble by Ray Lamontagne is an awesome song, i'm really enjoying it (i'm enjoying the whole damned album at the moment to be honest) it's got a very chilled feel to it and the lyrics for this song in particular are very meaningful at the moment

#345

i've numbered this post, because i've seen a few others have been numbered (FU and Bean mainly) well that and to show off a little!

right business...
hospital appointment went fine
the nice lady looked at my beer belly and using that ultrasound doofy-wotsit looking inside my gut too...and you know what i said yesterday about her not finding anything and that being the worst option for me...well she didn't find anything wrong, no gall stones and nothing wrong with my liver structure either (remember the blood tests that showed up a problem with my liver functions...)
but you know what, i feel better knowing that they've not found anything that i thought i would...loads better in fact!

fun stuff
after a few issues with my car and even more issues with the garage that i've taken it too, i've decided that it's time to get rid of my little pug and trade up...and i really do mean up!
this is what my pug looks like for those not in the know:
(it's a 3 door 1.4l little car)

and this little beastie is what i've plumped for as my wheels...:

(it's a 5 door, 2.4l 4x4 beasty)
although neither of these are actually my cars, just what they look like...

sweet huh?

anyway i've not had a lot of sleep again, and i've got a big ass quote to deal with that really needs to hit this afternoon's post if i can get it out there!

i've not bitched about the heat in our office without air condition and distinct lack of drinking water (a problem which i remedies the other day at my own expense) but it's too hot!!! and i really mean tooooooooo hot...

remember we brits pride ourselves on the british summer (about a week of sunshine and the rest of the time it's grey and cloudy) this year we're suffering a heatwave with temperatures in the last week hitting 30+ on a daily basis

it's sticky and uncomfortable in the office

music: i've discovered a band called hayseed dixie...they're bluegrass/country meets classic rock! it's a VERY interesting mix...they cover AC/DC and Kiss and things like that, and you knkow what, i like it! also been searching for things that other people have suggested, like PP suggesting neverending white lights, i've not had a chance to listen to them, but i've found a track or two that i've downloaded, just not had chance to listen to it yet as i don't have speakers at work...

film:went to see that pirate film with thingy depp and wotsit jordan and KIERA KNIGHTLEY in it the other night...thought it was very good but it felt like an episode, so i'm hoping that the 3rd installment hits the screens PDQ! it felt a little like the 2nd matrix film if i'm honest in so much as it was filler rather than killer. but lets not detract away from the very good fight scenes, especially in the waterwheel. the superb SFX, Bill Nighy was awesome and Davey Jones. and of course it had miss Knightley in it (she's on my list) (actually that might make a good post one day, my 10 celebs that are on my list)

right i'm done for today, i fully intend to do a HNT again next week though...so be warned, and i'm taking requests

laters peeps, hope you all have a good weekend

elsewhere

oh
my
god

i had about 4 hours sleep last night, i wasn't tired, but i needed to sleep :(

i've got to go to the hospital today and i'm getting really quite nervous about it

i know it's not going to be needles and the like (it'd better not be anyway) it's only an ultrasound to have a look inside me and search for gall stones and things like that

part of me is worrying that they'll find what they're looking for and everything will be ok
part of me is worrying that they'll find something else, something bad
part of me is worrying that they'll find nothing at all...this for me is the worst option

i wish i'd slept better
i wish i didn't have to be at work this morning
i'm on the verge of tears to be honest

and did i mention that i've got to starve myself...i missed breakfast this morning because i thought i'd probably only throw it all up again anyway, but now i can't eat until after i've been to hospital, i can only have clear fluids...and water goes straight through me!

i'm sorry, it's a bit of a downer post again today, i didn't really want that to happen though!
i'm tired, hungry and scared
and now i'm signing off
laters :o(

proof

that i am alive

sorry i've not been around, i didn't realise that i'd been away for nearly 2 weeks

can't for the life of me think what i've been up to either...

need a light?

thursday thunder
yep
that's today
and i know exactly what's to blame for the sudden change in the weather...see it's been really hot the last few days, i mean 30+ which as you'll all know is hot for the UK
well yesterday i ventured to work wearing *gulp* shorts...yes that's right, i actually subjected people to my bare naked legs and knobbly knees!
and you know what...when i got to work yesterday morning the weather wasn't looking so good, and as i put the key in the door to open up i heard the first crack of thunder. within 15 minutes the true british summer was upon us with big rain clouds and dark skies...all because i was in shorts!
unfortunately it stayed muggy and sticky all day...but without the sun to make things ok, it was just horrible weather.
last night/early this morning i was woke up by the thunder which sounded like it was right above my head...this was about 5am...it went on until just after 7, when i normally get up, so i'm so tired now that it's not fun...but anyway i digress! thunder and lightening this morning was great. today the weather is still grey, but the heat and everything like that has gone with it...today it's bearable!
besides i love a good thunderstorm :)
if it'd been yesterday evening i'd have been out in it walking around and enjoying the cleansing sensation, but at 5 this morning i was just miffed that it'd woken me up and all i wanted to do was sit and watch it running down the window above the bed...i couldn't really do much else as i was naked and too tired to move
anyway, when i get to work this morning i find we'd had a powercut at some point overnight, this normally isn't an issue, but spanish had set up a couple of 3D renders to be done over night, one was due to take about 15 hours, so over night was the best time to set it to go...but he lost the whole thing and is having to re-do it all again this morning. so imagine how pissed off he was when he just set the 3 computers to go on 3 more renders when we lost the power again... it was out for about 2 hours this morning...which wasn't too bad, we just sat around chatting, i read some more of my book and played boxes against spanish (i won quite decisively)

can anyone recommend anything that will help me sleep and stop me snoring? i'm having issues with both at the moment

new look

so i've changed my template finally
and i've also changed my avatar...still looking for one with a beard though...
double posted today...more below

"and the doctor said..."

so i went to get my blood test results this morning
she said that there was an elevated count for something that's a result of too much fast food and alcohol
although i avoid fast food where possible as i don't like it, i'm not the most healthy of eaters. and as for drinking too much, i tend to average 4 pints a week...not a lot at all...
but on these considerations i'm going to take a couple of months off alcohol and eat better as well. but when i go for my scan i've been told to get them to check the structure of my liver, just to be on the safe side, and then i'm to call the doc and chat again with her about the results of that test and then it'll be more bloods in a few months too...just to make sure.
she also did my blood pressure again, last time it was borderline high, but this time it's all good

so all in all i'm actually pretty good and there isn't anything to worry about if i wasn't being sick, but because i am i've got a couple of other tests to endure then hopefully i'll be all done!

in other news
we won 2 of the 4 rounds last night at the quiz, winning beer and free puddings (both of which will be used tonight...well not the beer for me) we even got a full marks for one round!!
oh yes!!!
we
are
that
damned
good!!!

right i should get back on with my work...but i'm unmotivated at the moment...

they think it's all over

it is now!

that's it, England crash out of the world cup at the hands of big phil scolari again
and to be honest
we didn't deserve to win
rooney needs to sort out his temper
beckham got injured again which isn't cool, and now he's resigned his captaincy...fair enough
the formation was all wrong
when wasn't walcott played? why take him if you're not going to play him? pointless!!!
although well done for playing 60 ish minutes with 10 men and not conceding
i don't think the new manager will do very well
praise to ricardo the goalie at the other end though...saving 3 penalties was awesome!!!

oh well
it was to be expected i guess
my pick to win...germany, go the home field advantage. the final will be against france though, got to be i think, unless big phil can pull something special out of the bag against them in the semi's
