Another lost weekend, but this one's down to video games and apathy more than alcohol. Truth be told, I'm a little pissed off with myself. There's so much I want to do, and I just don't. Or if I do something, I won't be able to fully enjoy it because I'll be thinking about the things I should have been doing instead. AAAAAAGH!
Friday's, Saturday's and today's pics are finally up, and you'll notice a bit of Spring cleaning has been done.

I had an interview today. I have a horrible feeling it didn't go well. I never really learnt the correct terminology and, when presented with it I ummed and ermed about stuff I've been doing for ages. Hey ho. If this one falls through I know to digest a VBA manual before the next one.
Yesterday's pic, and Today's.
On the digital camera from, Morgan are advertising an SLR body style one so you can chop and change proper lenses. It's a way out of my price range, and I don't know how good or bad it really is yet.

I have today's picture, honest, I just haven't scanned it in yet.
I've worked out that, at one aps and one 35mm film per fortnight's worth of pictures, it'll be cheaper in the long run for me to buy a digital camera. The initial outlay would soon be written off against savings in developing costs, though I'd still be running around with one of my old school cameras when I didn't want to risk the new one.

Picture of the day.
Slightly drunk (and on a school night too!)
I�m_Sorry_Dave:
Paul�s new CD writer had arrived. Sarah had hardly put down the phone after telling him, and he was already at her desk. �Where is it? Where is it?�
�Jesus. Are you like this at Christmas.�
�I only get socks at Christmas. It�s no fun any more.�
�Here. It�s there.�
Paul examined the beige box he had coveted for so long. He frowned.
�What?�
�I don�t have a normal CD drive. What am I going to put the installation disks in?�
�The software�s on the network. In the PC Build drive. Here.� Sarah started down a tree of folders and directories at a speed which would lose most others.
Something beeped. Paul checked his phone. No. �You�ve got mail.�
�HAL�ll deal with it.�
�HAL?�
Sarah glanced over at her PC. �Honest Answers Language. I couldn�t think of a better way to get the name.�
�Huh?�
�I built a program which takes e-mails and answers them. It checks the sender�s name against a database of outstanding work and tells them what�s going on with their request.�
�You can do that? I haven�t even got beyond auto-reply.�
�I�m sure some people don�t even know they�re not getting it from me. I check the mails, but mostly HAL�s answered the question for them. Saves so much work.�
�Can I steal it?� Paul was hugging the CD writer to his chest like a long-lost teddy bear.
�Maybe. If you�re nice to me.�

Today's pic.
E-Bay has sucked me in. I wanted to see what the prices were like before I started putting my comics on there and only went and found a bundle of comics I wanted. I already have a few of them, but this should help me plug some gaps.
I'm not buying, I'm selling.
I'm not buying, I'm selling.
I'm..... ooh, look, pretty things!

Today's picture.
I just got two big boxes of comics, so expect to see some stuff going on E-Bay soon.

Today's Pic.
Having spent a day driving through some truly beautiful and spectacular Lancashire countryside, I'm off on one. I wanna find a lovely place to work or live-
Antiques shop. I don't know, I see myslelf as more Acorn Antiques than Lovejoy, so probably not.
Converted windmill. MAybe. But I'd always be thinking of Trumpton. And all those damn Spaniards charging at it could get annoying.
How does a single storey property get to be imposing.
And finally, I think I've found it.

Today's Pic.
I have three pints of Brooklyn Best in me and I'm feeling pleasantly tipsy. Obsessed for a while in Rain bar about a woman who had the whole Ally McBeal thing going on. But it was obviously affected and she a) had a boyfriend and b) walked like a duck, so I think I can get over it.
