huzzah. im as exited as Elmer fudd during Wabbit season. The good ship television has left its moorings and departed from harbour, set asail to bring us new adventures. thats right kids, Drama season has begun.
i shall bring you up to speed
Monday nights 9-10 is Smallville season 4
sunday nights 9-10 is
24 season 4, followed by
Nip/Tuckseason 2 (1o-11 in case you were wondering).
We thought we had it real good. Theeeeeen, E4 had the good grace to repeat smallville season 4 (mondays 10-9) on sundays 8-9. three solid hours of top quality entertainment in one sitting.
but its TV. The programmes and their relative scheduling is, all in all, a mundane topic, i hear you cry.
certainly, the contents of a tv guide vis-a-vie sunday evenings, is hardly inflammatory subject matter. but the idea that im going to be certainly spending three hours in the company of friends i adore is important to me. its not that i dont get to see these friends at all its just nice knowing "thats my gang, they, like television, will always be there for me"
call it soppy all you want. tut at the dependency on the goggle box. i like these times
Other news. I met pete for the first time in about 18 months. he's been travelling south america, ended up in miami with a lady but alas had to return home becuase his visa ran out.
Started watching Alias on DVD. it loads Rocks!
i started working part time this week. being in work lesss hours suits me to a tee. having less money will pinch a bit but i've done the sums and i know im not gonna suffer immensely

My Favourite door
My Favourite Door
The door i speak of is a door that resides in my friends downstairs toilet. Ever since i first set foot in their house and used this toilet, i've always caught mysaelf wondering what may lie beyond this door. given that its a door in a toilet, you've probably made a few estimations yourself and i reckon i've brushed upon these ideas also.
y'see, as much my friends wouldnt be offended if i were to peek behind this door, i find myself striving to keep it a secret to myself. when confronted by those wanting to tell me, i back away. these friends know me well enough, they know enough to back down themselves. My want to retain the mystique is a source of humour for these friends (quite understandably, afterall, its only a door) some are puzzled slightly, some understand that its me being me and shrug it off.
This is the only door that i ever really think about at length. Its the only door i dont take for granted.
There is a lesson in my story (ask my friends they'll tell you its true). Alas im going to have to leave you to figure it out for yourselves

Its coming...
oh dear. a lot of things were confronted last week. Aside from my meeting up with claire, there were a couple of incidents with my supervisors at work. nothing in the way of aggression or violence, more the case of silly people getting in my way.
Mike the supervisor has a girlfriend in the office. Her name is Helen, she really does take the piss when it comes to getting the job done. i wanted a rant about this, so i chose to rant on my journal. Silly me chose to do this in the office and at some point during my essay (which would have been posted if he had'nt rumbled me) he caught me. he questioned the nature of this rant. Frankly, i reckon i turned the tables. He was expecting me to try and justify myself into a stammering stupor. NO! i stood up and told him we were going for a word in private.
Firstly i told him this is on the record to mike smith supervisor, not the person. As it was a complaint regarding his bird, he was in the position of being diplomatic and having to be understanding but COULD'NT go to the boss with it cos it was about his girlfirend's lax work ethic. 1 - 0 to me.
after airing my views, he offered his side. all was understood. i was kind of cruel by staying as silent as possible. this meant he got to the point were he just jabberred on cos he felt he had to say more merely because i wasnt saying anything. 2 - 0 to me.
The Supervisor incident involved Shaz. she was being all shouty in an "i'll make you look wrong by being loud" kind of way (i get too much of that from women i know, im certainly not gonna suffer it at work). using the silent trick again, she reached the point were an apology was her only exit. 3 - 0 to me.
after that day, i discovered one of my friends is a bit evil and one of my dearest friends isnt at their best and i cant do shit about it.
i promise the next entries will be jollier and will come with photos

i say potato, you say potarto
it happened. Claire and i met up for a drink and discussed all that which needed discussing. The whole thing went quite pleasantly.
Truth be known i could rant for quite a while about how glad i was last night happened but i figure one night in pub doesnt compare to the fact that i still got a friend that i once thought i might never have again.
in other news. i got me my first practice of the year with dan tomorrow night. i really and truly hope that this year i can persuade him to get off his arse and perform somewhere other than Adelphi. We got the songs, we got way more balls than we first set out and we got people who are actually waiting to see us do our stuff. Saying that, dan doesnt like it when i ask people to come watch us perform. i dont really get it myself. He's quite the misanthrope, so as long as they're not bothering him (and holding me in rapture :-P) he should be happy. maybe he just doesnt want to drive me down to lamp so save on petrol.
time for going. bye now

say cheese...
i got me a new toy just after christmas. A pocket camcorder that also functions as a stills camera and a MP3 player.
i've gone a bit silly taking pictures cos its my intention to place any photographed events up on my blog. the album presented here is me experimenting with photo posting. Truth be known im useless with HTML so a bit of learning and patience will be required. i'll be using paul to get to grips with it.
enjoy the visuals

All endeavour rendered futile…
this one loads didnt happen proper so i'll summarise:
- the counter at work is showing no phone calls answered (contrary to fact), hence the title
- im ill
- I've spoken to Claire. Once on the the phone (a call I made), and we bumped into eachother on the street. all was pleasant. We're meeting up for a drink next week
Other than that, this is my second day off work ill. only tommorrow to work then weekend. Woo Hoo!. I officially dont like my job now and am setting out to find something less customer orientated. im only staying for the money, which aint loads brilliant.
