One of those days weeks!
Friday, January 21, 2005
I have been a bit quiet this week as it's been a little odd again.
Following the news from home last week I received further bad (and impending bad news) this week.
As is typical what with one thing and another I have come down with some bug and am not feeling too great. It does not help that I went to my Doctor Friday morning who informed me when I choked on a potato (no comment!) at the weekend I have scorched and badly damaged my throat/larynx. I guess my immune system must have been low as I have also been hit pretty hard by the latest bug circulating around the office A/C!
Of course there is always some benefit in vegging in front of pointless daytime TV - oh no hang on, no there isn't! I did spot the lovely Jay McGraw yesterday though - Renovate My Family is a terrible show but he's really sweet and makes it worth staying awake!
I don't make an effort to watch Big Brother and especially not Celebrity Big Brother but hey; there's no harm is oggling Jeremy Edwards walking around in his boxers if I just happen to be flicking through E4 - is there?
I am so fed up - I hate being ill and after being told to "rest my voice and throat" all I can think to do is sleep and ramble in emails!
Anyway I must look onwards and upwards I guess.
As you may have read from my previous entry, I managed to complete Half Life 2. I was very happy about this originally but now I am not so - I was elated to have finished but to be honest the end of the game did not really stand up to my expectations (especially as the quality of the game is astonishing). I am trying to find something to fill the void HL2 has left behind but haven't found it yet. G and S have let me borrow Far Cry but I'm not convinced...
To brighten up my PC someone did recommend playing around with Montage-a-Google but to be honest the results have been poor... I was thinking of creating an interesting wallpaper for my computer or my phone but I have given up!
I hear from the BBC that Monday the 24th January is the most hated day of the year - let's put it this way if I don't feel any better I will be inclined to agree!
I also read that schools in the UK are to study Gay History - now I am torn over this subject, half of me thinks it's a good idea and the other half is not so sure...
I remember seeing a search tool some years ago called Alexa but have not investigated it recently as it tended to install loads of crap on your machine. It's had a bit of a face lift and now resembles Amazon! I am still not sure how useful it is though! Has anyone else had any experience with it?
I would like to thank the lord for D&G though - their new fall collection is divine - well the models are anyway! Rough trade is the category I'd give them and I am sure you'd like them as much as I do ;)
Well it's not long until Richard and I get on that 747 and head off to NYC. I cannot wait! I am aware how close it is but with all that has and is going on at present the break is more than welcome! Then again my birthday is the day before so which should I be looking forward to the most?
Whilst we are in New York I think it should be my duty to hunt out the FDNY Calendar for 2005 - judging by the cover it looks like something I'd definitely like to have hanging in my house this year!
The flight on the 747 will be fun but I am really looking forward to stepping inside the new Airbus A380. Hopefully we may get a glimpse of it if we head off to the Paris Air Show as planned.
I have spent some time creating a new gallery which features young college/university guys. They are not normally my thing (well not twinks or chickens), but I have had a request to add some. This gallery contains a small selection - if you have any images you'd like me to add or if you'd like to be included then please contact me.
If you don't see any snow this year and you feel left out, maybe this little piece of flash might help!
