Firefly rocks

well, while working, and avoiding working, I’ve been watching some DVDs and so forth, and it’s led me to a revelation. Firefly is awesome, I can’t believe it got cancelled. But I suppose all good shows do, that’s just the way of things. Interestingly, the guy who plays the captain on Firefly looks a bit [...]

Bend the Elbow, shake a leg

Hello everybody! The main reason for this is to announce that Elbow are playing at the Tivoli on the 8th of March, and I am keen as mustard to go. Who else is coming?
Okay, so that’s that out of the way.
Life has just been pottering along. My car is working very well [...]

who wants to know how I celebrated?

It’s easy … great food. I had Apollo burger for brunch, then met Lisa and Daina for icecream around 3pm, and then for dinner I had Red Lobster’s whatever-you-call-it combo of crab legs, garlic prawns, coconut prawns, and lobster tail. Fantasitc day, all up.
I watched several comedies that are on TV Thursday nights, too … [...]

HB to Glenn, Me …

Well, it’s Glenn’s birthday, and kinda mine, although technically my birthday is tomorrow, American-time. Happy Birthday Glenn, hope you have a great day … hope your decision as to how to spend it is an easy one.
I’ve been enjoying a few quiet beers and generally chilling … I bought some Miller Lite beer yesterday, incredibly [...]

Slacker slacker slacker

Well, I’m back in Salt Lake, and there’s two days (in american terms) until my birthday. Things are good, I’ve got a lot of work to do. And a lot of movies to watch.
It’s a shame I can’t do both.

So very very dirty

well I stopped for lunch in a place that I noticed had “free wireless” so I decided to eat in, rather than driving onwards. I’ve got about 900km’s to go to get back to SLC … and it’s only lunchtime, so I may or may not go all the way.
I think I’m in North Platte, [...]

might be sick

my meeting with the homos here in ohio didn’t go very well, but i had another meeting with a partner who proceeded to let me get them very drunk, and me too. not sure if i’ll be able to leave ohio tomorrow

Stealing, nothing more than stealing …

When I checked out of my hotel in Newton, I said to the guy:
“Checking out of room 126.”
And he said: “We don’t have a room 126.”
And I got out my key that said “126″ on it, and handed it to him and said “Yes you do! Suprise!”
He then had a wierd look on his face [...]

This is where I crashed

N 41.68601 W 92.88438
Dangerous piece of road, that. Made it to Ohio. It’s late, I’m tired.

Accident

Well, “accident” might be overstating it.
Today in Iowa, I came off the road when the road suddenly turned to ice.
I’m fine, and so is the car, but it’s about 5 metres off the road, up to it’s proverbial eyeballs in snow. I called Hertz, who couldn’t really help since I had no idea where I [...]
