Finally watched the last two episodes of Life on Mars.

That... was an interesting finish.

I like it.

Browns. Lunch?

Life's still pretty good. I'm just mentioning this because, well, normally I don't mention this.

Read back through five years of my LJ (something which I wouldn't exactly recommend...) and the "yes, life is good" aspect is not always terribly obvious. Probably because it doesn't exactly invite comment (unlike mashed potatoes) or supply useful information.

For those of you who are considering the October WGW... wander over to here and watch Crud's Reality video.

I'm intending to enjoy their set. :)

Right. Application for new and shiny job submitted. Let's see how it goes...

Warren Ellis + Lara Croft

Interesting combination.

Given that Mr Ellis wrote the intro for White Wolf's pulp game Adventure (and also revamped Elsa Bloodstone into the gun-toting adventuress we know and love from Nextwave, this could be good...

Lunch with [livejournal.com profile] pope_ant and [livejournal.com profile] pink_mouse. A long and positive conversation with the boss. A short and productive conference call.

I appear to have a job for a little longer than expected. I'm also applying for a different job tomorrow, as I've found out about it at the very last minute. This could be fun.

It's turning into a strange week. So far it's been purely work and Stuff - with luck, tonight might actually be a free evening so that I can catch up on tidying the house.

My life is so rock'n'roll. :)

...In The Nursery(??, 25th, Völkerschlachtdenkmal), Ataraxia (16:00, 26th, Schauspielhaus), Rotersand (20:10, 25th, Agra), In Strict Confidence (18.45, 25th, Werk II), Subway to Sally (23:20, 28th, Agra), The Last Days of Jesus, Merlons Lichter...

...Grendel, The Cruxshadows,

This should be fun. Allegedly the Cruxshadows play the Agra at 1AM. Er, and the Levellers are just below Subway to Sally on the Monday night line-up. Some would say that this is merely as it should be. They obviously need more bagpipes... :)

Today featured some unexpected cookery. Not exactly challenging stuff - a purchased pie, some greens, some mash - but quite nice. Now, if I could just get the timings right (and remember to warm the plates beforehand)...

Spinning out of this, a couple of questions for the readership -

1) What's the perfect mashed potato? What, in your opinion, needs to be added to make it a little bit special?

2) Which cookbooks are utterly wonderful things that need to be purchased?

Without contradicting the previous post...

The universe will not do it for you. But sometimes it may throw random good stuff in your direction. Or just find a sneaky way to usefully distract you for a bit.

The weekend was quite fun and involved a trip to see my family. It also involved a trip to Southampton Art Gallery, which was hosting the Japan: A Floating world in print exhibition at the time.

Disclaimer: I'm no good whatsoever at describing art. For the most part, the remainder of this post doesn't even attempt to try. )

Sometimes there's just no alternative to sorting stuff out.

The universe will not do it for you.

Edit: And even if it could, that wouldn't always be a good thing.

Meh. Didn't sleep much last night, woke up this morning to find I've got some sort of hideous sore throat thing.

World no longer seems quite so fluffy, although it's been a good weekend.

Visiting family this weekend - I'm heading off to Hampshire immediately after work today, back Sunday evening.

Can I go home now, please?

My brain hurts. I'm very, very tired. I'm mildly homicidal.

I have just enough time for lunch between meetings. Even Blair's resignation announcement has failed to brighten my day. This is not so good.

Hopefully I'll have a nice, quiet evening once I escape.

"Tension, apprehension,
And dissension have begun."

I really need to update my 2007 book listing - I'm not reading as much as usual this year, but there are a good three or four that aren't yet listed in that post. As some of you might guess from the quotation above, The Demolished Man is one of them.
