I’ve spent quite a bit of late.

Mostly due to play.com’s sale which I used to my gains rather well in my own opinion. That and me buying something from apple.

Here’s a quick brakedown of what I got.

Books:

DVDs:

And finally from apple

The 160gb version of the Ipod classic for all my musical needs.

Oh and I got a protective case for it too.

Last night (Monday 30th June) at the Swindon Oasis leisure center.

I was witness to the comedy stylings of Jimmy Carr. Now I have to say, I’ve had tickets to this since February of this year so,  it wouldn’t be an understatement to say this show was packed full to capacity.

Having watched him on such TV shows as 8 out of 10 cats and from what I’ve heard about his shows I knew I was going to be in for a treat.

I have to say I’m finding hard to sum up the show as with so many jokes used throughout, it’s a little hard to remember them when trying to do so. They do seem to pop into my head every so often, when something reminds me of one of them.

All in all though it was an amazing show that I thoroughly enjoyed as the only times I really stopped laughing was to gasp for air. Though one thing may stick in my mind for quite some time to come, from after the show had ended.

Of which is. At the end of the show Jimmy announced he would be doing some signings, so I made sure to get the program that I’d purchased at the start of the show signed. However whilst I was in the process of doing so, with the usual sort of meet and greet hand shake etc. He commented about the t-shirt I was wearing at the time, about how he thought it was quite funny, to which I was pleased as I bought it as I thought the same.

The T-shirt in question is this one:

Of which was purchased from www.threadless.com

That about wraps it up really.

Ok I’m gonna keep these short and simple for the short term dunno about long term just yet.

Add a page listing bands I’ve seen

Add gamer tag card - Done

And maybe change the theme at some point.  Other than that I guess the fact I’ve now added the gamer tag card should be a give away to the fact I own a Xbox 360 now. I just need to hook that up to the net then my card should update itself with all the info from what I’ve already done.

So I’m back again to try and update this yet again.

Though there is a reason why I remembered about the post below. That reason being I have a weekend tickeet for this years reading fesitval. Probably the best news I’ve had for a little while.

Oh and that will probably be the last back post from the old blog for some time, as all the other I was going to write seem to be on a piece of paper somewhere….

Cio

Where do I start…
…Well I guess thursday would be the best place.

~*~Thursday~*~

So after spending forever saying goodbye to everyone I left for Reading where I would be meeting up with some friends to camp during the course of the weekend. The ride there went without a hitch but was painstakingly slow once we were closer to the festival due to the vast amount of traffic. After then spending even longer trying to find the boat for green camp and several phone calls I eventually made it to the camp. Be it alot later then I had first hoped.

Rigth after reaching the camp though, I had a major problem, I couldn’t phone anyone… so with my phone not working prperly my chances of finding the people I was suposed to meet where next to none. So I ended up wondering around Green camp in hope of the off chance that I may see them, though that never did happen that night. Just when I started to think all hope was lost though, three guys I’d never met before decided to take pity on me any told me there was a spot left next to their tent in Yellow camp. So after the short walkfrom green to yellow, we arrived at their tents. Where we talked and drank for a while formaly intrducing ourselves to each other.
Their names being; Dave, Dan and Matt.
After trying to put my tent up in the dark it was decided that it would be easier to do so in the morning, and I would sleep in Matt’s tent for the night. so after putting all my stuff in his tent we went wondeing around the camps sites in search of people to talk to.
After talking to some people we returned back to the tents at about 2 or 3am and dozed off for the night.

So I just remembered (at last) that I still have this, and still haven’t posted certain items from the old blog. So watch this space as I’ll be putting any outstanding posts up in their unfinished form soon.

Quite alot has happened in the last couple of weeks, though updating this page hasn’t been one of them -_-

First of all the 23rd of October was my birthday, despite having to work it I did have a great day. As my work mates had decorated my desk for the day. After work though was when the real fun began as I headed into the town center to meet up with a group of my friends for an evening of fun / drink, though I can’t remember too much besides lots of laughter, smiles and.. even more drink. With the amount of booze that was going around, it’s no wonder I got absolutely hammered.

Thanks too everyone that turned up to make it a great birthday though <3 you all for it.

Thankfully I had the day after booked off as holiday, as after all that drinking I felt terrible the morning after. Most of the day as a result was spent in front of the TV watching anything that seemed remotely decent.

Rolling forward to the following Saturday, after having worked a large overtime shift in the morning / early afternoon I went and got sorted to go to a Halloween party at a good friends house. Surrounded by pretty much the core group from the previous Tuesday our twisted senses of humor were unleashed once again. However unlike the Tuesday this time I was drinking at a more steady pace, well until someone went and put a few shots into one of my drinks >_>

Somewhere around 10pm a small band of us headed for the town centre, though this excursion was short lived to say the least.

Whilst going about my usual visiting of certain websites, I came across a link of the Penny Arcade to probably one of the strangest auction’s I’ve ever seen.

The auction in question is this one for a now disused Titan Missle base. According to the auction page here is what the Base contains.

The Former Larson Air Force Base Complex 1A Titan ICBM Facility

Located Central Washington between Moses Lake and Ritzville

Ten Minutes to Interstate 90

1 1/2 hours West of Spokane

57 acres more or less

16 UNDERGROUND buildings including

3 - 160′ Tall Missile Silo

3 - (4 story) Equipment Terminal Bldgs

2 - Antenna Silos

100′ Diameter Control Dome Bldg.

125′ Diameter Power Dome Bldg.

And all that for a smooth 1.5 Million Dollars.

So the question remains. Anyone want to buy it for my birthday?

Last weekend, I seemed to have kept myself fairly busy.

On the Friday evening I went out with a few people I know and got really drunk. That being about as much as I can remember about that unfortunately. .

However on Saturday after having missed the bus into town about 3 times, I eventually met up with a group of friends and set out for the cinema. The film of choice was to be Heartbreak Kid. While it’s not often I’ll go see a romantic comedy, I am also a a fan of Ben Stiller as a comedian/actor. As such the film definitely had it’s funny points and there wasn’t as of the typical sappy moments that would would normally find in this genre as you would in say a Hugh Grant film. As every-time there seemed to be one a joke of some sort got thrown in, be it physical comedy such as one scene where Eddie Cantrow (Ben Stiller) and Lila (Malin Akerman) are both riding their bikes and as they try to kiss, Lila’s bike flips due to having rode into point metal box.

Overall Heartbreak Kid isn’t one I’d go out of my way to see, but was still enjoyable to watch.
