Winding Down at EG
It's been something of a strange day here at EG towers. The business of the magazine is going on all around me, but I'm seperate from it. I'm busy clearing my desk of tasks for the next six months and before heading down to Sutton full-time.
Still, came up with a neat idea - there's no need for me to carry things home and then to Sutton. I can just use the internal mail, and let the company take the strain.
Anatomy of a Weekend
Friday night was Conspiracy of Ravens night (that's Friday night, ![[info]](https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/wp-content/772/2006/07/userinfo-1.gif){kind=small}
ellefurtle), a gathering of our WoW guild. I lured lornabear along under false pretences (I didn't tell her it was a WoW drinks night), but she had a good time despite that.
Saturday was a day of doing stuff. We sorted out much of the remaining work on the kitchen, leaving us just a touch of paining to do. We took advantage of the quiet streets created by the England vrs Portugal match to go shopping and get me some new threads for my new work role. We then settled down for some serious Cyber action in the penultimate episode of Dr Who. A bit more flat work, and then back to the TV to watch one of our Amazon DVD rentals The Wedding Crashers. Not a bad movie. I did wish that the focus had been on the Vince Vaughn/Isla Fisher couple and not the lead romance, though, and not the dull lead couple. Ah, well.
Sunday, we slept in, mostly due to the ludicrous heat. I toodled off to Sainsbury's and B&Q for food and DIY supplies, and then did some serious eBay listing. I whipped up some Tuna Linguine for dinner, and we watched the excellent Lord of War (another Amazon rental).
Not the busiest weekend ever, but pretty enjoyable.
It's too damn hot
I am clearly a warm-blooded adders, as all this hot weather is not making me happy.
Or letting me sleep.
Grrr.
Beware: Doctor in Distress
Warning: here be the worst of the 80s. This is a music video calling for the return of Dr Who after it was put on hiatus.
The management accepts no responsibility for damage to sanity or taste inflicted on viewers of this 80s horror.
More quarters please...
The only video games that stick in my mind from my childhood were The Hobbit and Stargate, on the good old ZX Spectrum. Ah, those were the days, text adventures and blocky action games.
My favourite game now is, unavoidably, World of Warcraft.
Go, Ravens, go!
Number one with a bullet
When I was born, Rod Stewart's Maggie May was Top of the Pops (ho ho). It's a pretty good song, and certainly beats the Slade track that replaced it the following day...
When I turned 21, End of the Road by Boyz II Men "topped" the "hit parade". It was the only No. 1 from that year I have no memory of - at all.
Weekend Plans
This weekend, I went to sell books at a charity fund-raising event in Suffolk. I spent Sunday browsing a food fair. More on my other blog.
The soundtrack to my life
In all likelyhood an odd, unpredictable selection of mainly mainstream stuff, that would all clash really badly with each other and make the soundtrack album unsellable.
I have a really odd taste in music. It's eclectic enough that people will see albums they love and hate sat next to each other happily.
My weekend plans...
This weekend, I shall mainly be painting the kitchen, doing some writing and generally tidying up the flat.
I'm so dynamic.
