Freakcity

October bash. Much drunkenness from everyone. Else. Took a few photos. Avoided annoying people for the most part.

Got an appointment with legal types at the Royal Courts of Justice this Friday. There’s no CCTV footage available (it’s only kept for a month) and no Oyster records available (they’re...

I am in a field. I have all my possessions on me. I ask someone to look after them. They don’t. I turn my back, they are appropriated by the Big Kids™. I try to ask nicely if I can have them back but they’re not listening. The law doesn’t care. I wait. I get a call. It’s a second hand shop. So...

Flying through my life at a rate of knots. I need to make the weekends slower and the weeks faster. I have either a review today or early next week. I have some small bugs to fix but have nearly finished. Then, I’m going to be doing something fabulous for a month or so which you’ll all hear about so...

I managed to hit 1000 miles on my bike on Monday evening on the way home from work. How cool is that?

Work dull. Private life dull. Wallet ok. PC shiny.

Vista RC2 is swimming along in 64bit heaven on Pixel...I’m going to add m...

I meet him for the first time in years. I am nervous. We are in a bar I’ve never been to before. In a place unfamiliar to me. We hug. We kiss. I wonder if it means as much to him as it does to me. I thank him for agreeing to see me after so long. We talk. I tell him of the new flat, he tells me of h...

Friday night I elected to simply trundle home and poke bits of computer from time to time. TJ was out so I chilled, sat online, that kinda thing. For a change. Discovered that, having bought three PSUs so far, it wasn’t the PSU but in fact the silicon SATA raid drivers that were killing 'doze. Yee...

red light

blue moon

the river

spoke too soon

green life

jazz off key

The only reminder

For me

Twelve stone seven

the person I was

Slow moves

Just because

Small waves

comfort me

paid for thoughts

longing for free

smiling around

you hit the town

I’ve lost

I’ve lost

Went out last night to the Admiral Dunk and bumped into a guy called Steve I knew years ago. Like 8 years ago. Commented “I’ve known him since I was 16” and someone said they were a little concerned that I knew him when he was 16...with a knowing wink...evidently it didn’t occur to them that I was 2...

I don’t know what to write. I am somewhere under all of this, not sure what I’m doing or where I’m going. Layer upon layer, I hide under it all. I know why, I can see what I need to do, but I don’t want to do it. So I find excuse after excuse not to.

Well today I will do it. I will get it over an...

Out last night watching live action filth at the filth emporium. What a way to spend a birthday evening.

Went off to the homething after that. Delivery chinese. Yum.

Watched the rest of S2 of the 4400. Pretty good.

Slept ok.

Feel crap tho. Bah.

Hate having to do things I don’t want to.

Chatted to Mum last night, Dee was in surgery and I guess she wanted someone to chat to. Everything went well, Dee was in pain but is ok now and texting away quite happily. Mum’s on her way to go up and see her now. Hoping the results are as expected. Told Dee to ask for morphine as that’d sort her ...

Still haven’t plucked up the courage to face my PC. Met up with mage after work for a swifty at CXR yesterday evening. Still so much work to do, still haven’t got the volition to do anything. Bah. I shall be doing lots today at a guess.

So tomorrow I’m 32. I’ll be shiny and new for a day the...

OK, so I’m still going on about my new camera. But it’s sooo shiny 😁

Friday...got into work at 10:30 (oops), had a 1.5 hour lunch break (double oops) and left bang on the dot of 6 (oopsie!). Much broken, eventually I fixed it but I’m now a day behind. Bah.

Legged it on a bus to Hammersmith, which...

The worst kept secret in the world is one that is kept by too many people.

Small things come in small packages.

The further you get from truth, the more appealing the lie.

Nine things make your life worthwhile

Nine things

But you won’t know them

Not until you’ve found them all

I can’t t...

I be talkin' like a pirate all day. I be makin' freakcity talk like one too. Bet ya don' get no pirate speak on bingthox, do you now?

PC still dead. Tried different PSU last night but to no avail. Cockmeister.

In love with my laptop again. The inverter I ordered from Greece arrived. Goodness! ...

Left work half an hour later than I’d planned due to fuckwittery, however I’d factored the half an hour’s fuckwittery into my leaving time so I still had plenty of time to make it to Liverpool Street to catch my train. Yay trains! Yay first class!

Brian informs me that apparently there’s a first ...

This is first class, One style, is it? Jesus wept. What the fuck is standard class going to be like?

Failed to sauna impressively. Mostly on purpose. I should really save my moneh.

My brother asked Katie to marry him on her 21st birthday. They were out for dinner with her parents at a hotel. She flooded and said yes. Friday’s birthday party has morphed into an engagement party. Am all happy for ...

Urg. My brian needs rewiring so I can sleeep.

Rain outside, still not cold enough to make me smile.

Train tickets have arrived, taking me back to Norwich this weekend.

Dreamt last night that Mum was pregnant.

Restless. Woke to find a text from Lloyd saying he’d be ok. Restless and concerned.

Me...

I see a room. Low ceiling, black walls, dimly lit by pillars of light. the pillars of light are single spotlights that hang down from holes in the ceiling. Holes in the ceiling through which rain is pouring, down, creating pillars, to the floor. The water constrained by raised drains. The room becom...

So. Monday night was me moaning and feeling sorry for myself

Tuesday night was me moaning and feeling sorry for myself, punctuated by something uninteresting involving geese.

Wednesday night was me moaning about Jazz and feeling sorry for myself.

And last night was me eating lots of food.

Jour...

<<Stephen Hello. Welcome to “A Bit Of Fry And Laurie”.

Hugh Grrrrr.

Stephen Ladies and gentlemen, because Hugh and I are

known for our anger, our satirical rage at the

“human condition”, for want of a better cliche ....

Friday night was the gorgeousness that was Mozart’s Requiem in St Martin in the Fields. Only briefly spoiled by the stupidly loud stageshow happening in Trafalgar Sq proper, whatever the bejesus that was. Unimpressed with the first half, 'cello and bass out of time, lead violinists having trouble on...

Back home to the humdrum mediocrity that coats my currently uninteresting life and all I want is to be away from here. Away from this city and away from this job. I know I’ll settle back into it in a few days but frankly I don’t really want to have to. But until I have a concrete idea of what I can ...

Speeding through the weekend we collided with both Bath and Bristol on the same day, sending wood shards flying in all directions. Dom and co did the Baths and I Wandered about buying CDs and chilling. Lloyd was very late so we got bored in Bris and then found Puppy after. Beer and loveliness later ...
