I've now almost totally switched over to Linux and my Asus eee. I only need to find a decent (and easy to use) blog program. Until something turns up I may be a little quiet. For a little while.

Apparently it's Christmas. I don't remotely understand the whole religion thing, or the desire to eat dead birds, But I've had a nice day today. I'd intended saying more, but I've forgotten whatever I'd tried to remember. It probably wasn't important.
Shrek 2 was on TV earlier. It was cool to hear Eels' I need some sleep. And the Traveller's Rest and the Three Tuns were great this afternoon (and again tonight).
I'm off to bed now I think. There's so much to say, but at the end of the day I can't be arsed.
Night : )

It's been pretty hectic lately. Between work and the bloody bedroom walls I've not had much spare time at all. The bedroom's getting there now though; I'm even getting used to the taste of plaster dust.
We went to Budapest the week before last, for our Christmas night out. It was good, but quite worrying in that I had very little memory of the last time I was there (only two and a bit years ago).
And now we're all ready for xmas. Well, almost. A bit. A couple of pictures from the other week's trip:

She's just a Charmer, oh no ... Kings of Leon ... they were brilliant tonight. Don't know what else to say; they were just great. Wooo.

I'm typing this on my old Toshiba portege; a computer that until recently I thought was tiny. However, it now feels huge in comparison to my little asus eee. Ok, so I know there's a shortage right now, but do whatever you canto get your hands on one!

After receiving a Royal Mail Sorry we missed you card yesterday, I went to the sorting office this morning to collect the package. There used to be a sorting office in Low Fell, a few minutes walk away, but it moved to Team Valley a while ago. It's a pain to get to from here, so I wasn't too impressed to be told, I'm sorry, I know the card says you should call here after a day, but at this time of year it can take three or four days to be reach us. So why bother telling people to call in the next day?
Mental.

I'm so pissed off with myself. Last night I met Paula in the Travellers' Rest for a pint after work. As a last minute thing I checked my wallet en route and found I had forty quid. We actually only had one drink, so I paid with change I had in my
pocket. When I came home I put my wallet in the bag I use for work,
with my laptop. Tonight, on my way out to meet Jeff, I thought I should leave money
for James and Rhiannon's guitar lesson tomorrow. But when I looked in
my wallet there was only a twenty. So somewhere between last night and this morning, twenty quid
vanished from my wallet. And that's why I'm annoyed with myself. I've
now lost seventy quid from my wallet in less than a month and it's my
own stupid fault. I'd been really careful after the first twenty disappeared, but now
and again I've been sloppy and not kept my wallet on me. I'm 110%
certain that James took it. I'm stuck as to what to do about it, of course. I can't prove a damn thing. Like I said, I'm bloody annoyed with myself. Rant over.
