Just watched the first episode. Totally badasss, found myself just smirking while watching it. I already know what’s going to happen because I’ve read the book, but it doesn’t take away from the show at all.

It’s sooo good, and it makes me want to go travelling soo much.

Darren and me have occasionally been talking about doing some sort of road trip sometime. Though it’s a bit hard at the moment what with lack of financial security and all at the moment. But ideally I would love to go on a bit road trip next summer. Summer 2009 is my vague target for a big road trip. Darren’s thought about driving to Australia, though we’re thinking more realistically driving to somewhere like Italy. Imagine…beating hot sun, and endless roads, new sights and sounds and visions. New people, new places, you can wake up in one country one morning, then the next morning be somewhere completely different.

Yes, by Summer next year I’m going travelling, might have to sod festivals and stuff like that though, but hey, the line ups are getting shite anyway, and festivals are becoming trendier by the year. And it’s not like I’ll have a career by then to worry about, or any real commitments. I think I would like to spend my life working, then travelling, and so forth. And when I want to settle down with a career, I’ll just be some uber freelancer, so I don’t have to deal with the office politics stuff. Or get one of those jobs that aren’t really anything to do with what you’re interested in, but pays remotely well so you can live a kinda comfortable life.

Yes. That’ll do me nicely.

Two months before I turn 24, tragic, sincerely tragic that I have barely seen anything in my life. So I must must must do some big trip before I’m 25, I don’t know why 25 as such, maybe it’s the point where I think I’ll start turning really really olde, so you know. Here goes…

So, I’ve reached over Day 200 in Threesixtyfive - woo!

Okay…

haha a few mad small countries

So many possibilities. How can I make them come true?

Today at work I conversed with collegues about sex lives, life and relationships (of course none of these were about my own sex life, life or relationships - cause I save that for certain people’s ears only) - it was interesting to see people’s views on it, and to see how some people have yet to really learn anything about life. As in sometimes you need to stop worrying, because ultimately nothing matters…

Yay! Two days till I go away. Can’t wait. Two more work shifts and then I’m off in my car filled with stupidly expensive petrol.

I need to buy a gazebo…

PS. Bonus points for whoever gets the quote

So, what’s been going on?

A few months ago Bob had intended for us to go out for a meal with some Peking duck in celebration ah…I dunno his First, his graduation, his new job…*shrugs* In the end the whole thing got stupidly delayed because we couldn’t seem to find a free weekend to do it in.

Eventually an opportunity arose when we realised that if we didn’t do it before Alice went travelling then hell it would be a another long wait until we could do it. So it was planned to be held around Easter Monday.

I thought people were joking on twitter when there was talk of seeing Muse at the cinema. I mean what sort of a crazy idea is that?…

Of course an idea crazy enough to actually work…

You see months and months ago we had all found ourselves at Wembley Stadium, not once, oh no, but twice to watch Muse play in all their glory in the biggest venue to date. And now…we were planning to watch it all again, in high def (ultra realism) surround sound action at the cinema..(then afterwards..because we’re all sad like that…we’re probably going to fork out to buy the dvd after too. Ha.)

So originally Stu was twittering asking me down to the London showing but I didn’t know if I was working and going to London at such a short notice just for a day with no where to stay was just not doable for me. Then Gem pipped up and it so turns out there’s a Leeds showing too. This was more doable for me because there was a better likelihood of somewhere to stay annddd it was easier to get to etc. So after checking I wasn’t working on Tuesday I decided I was so there.
