Wonderings, wanderings and waffle

I’m looking forward to the new e-ink gadgets coming out in the UK. Three of them were reviewed on the Gadget Show - with the Sony one coming out tops. Waterstones are going to have the Sony one, according to this article. It’s now available for pre-order.

Have just started to re-open communication with pre-adoptive sister, as she’s just had a third baby. Will see how that goes.

Another birthday slips by, only four years to go till 40.

Onwards and sideways.

“We’re landing in Antarctica”. This is what a kid said behind me in the plane, as we started descending into the clouds, to land at Stanstead airport. It made me laugh.

Had another fab weekend in Germany. The friends I have there always make me do crazy stuff and laugh lots. I had to make sure my friend (Lutz) was out of the house for six and a half hours, while his girlfriend (Kathrin) prepared the house for his birthday. What else can you do for 6.5 hours in Bremen, apart from drink lots of beer and have a chat about stuff? This was after getting up at 4.30am to fly there.

I managed to keep him out and both of us awake, by having a few coffees in between the Haake Beck. When we got back - we had a table football (kicker) competition, with more beer. Kathrin also managed to drink 3/4 of a bottle of rum, which was impressive. The pictures are on Flickr, but you’ll need to be in my friends list, if you want to see them.

I’ve been thinking about doing this as a sideline, till I find a proper job. I’ve done it before for a small company and really enjoyed it.

There are no margins in it, but it’s rewarding in a non-financial sense!

The new Bond looks pretty good. Appears to be in a similar style to Casino Royale.

Trailers over here. Only problem is that I have to wait until the 31st October for it.

Maybe you’ve already heard about Matt and his dancing. If you haven’t, then check out his latest dancing video on his site.

It makes me happy and emotional.

Now this is more like the weather forecast for the week, that I’m after:

Something to read.

I keep having a dream about being outside and watching the sky. The sky starts to turn really black, with thunder rumbling around. A gap appears in the clouds and then huge swathes of fire rip through the air, rushing towards me.

Another quite vivid dream last night - the sky went all sparkly, then a range of UFOs came slamming down into the earth, coming towards me - I manage to jump out of the way just in time.

Have you ever had any lucid dreams?

Hmmm, good job it only cost £17. Not the best game I’ve played. Don’t even get Wii bonus stars with the purchase either.

Little Miss Sunshine is a fantastic film. Bring your smile, or else you’ll get one watching it.

Sorry for headline-esque nature of blog entry, I have nothing to say really, but felt that I hadn’t created an entry for ages.

Ah well, back to Zenda - need to find a barmaid like Telma!

Do you find yourself ever putting the margarine in the cupboard, and the marmalade in the fridge?
