Chickity china the chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin
Watchin x-files with no lights on, were dans la maison
I hope the smoking mans in this one
I can’t believe it’s July already. We’re halfway through the year and befoe we know it Christmas will be here once again. Where does the time go?
Here are a few things that I need to do this week…not in any particular order.
1) Fix my PC. I was using it without issue all of Sunday, and turned it off on Sunday night as normal. However there was a smell of burning which I ignored and assumed all was okay. Monday night I arrived home in not too great a mood, quite late and wished to check emails and go to bed - switched on the PC - nothing. It seems te burning smell must have been a biggger problem than I realised as there was no power at all. Hopefully it’s just a PSU issue and replacing that will fix it - otherwise it’s expense that I can do without right now. (Currenty writing this on work lapdog).
2) Move. I’m moving on Sunday from Old Street to Russell Square. I’m saying goodbye to the spacious place I have now to possibly the smallest place I’ve ever lived in. One small room with fitted kitchen, a ‘hallway’ with storage cupboard and a bathroom. Oh, and a balcony too. It’s the only place I bothered viewing when I knew I had to find somewhere, and it is more than I was intending on spending, but it’s in such a great location I think I can deal with it for a year and see how it goes. 15 minute walk to work is very appealing, and it’s within walking distance home of the places I play poker so that’s quite nice.
3) Release the next stage of MENEFT. I would have liked to release it this weekend, but with the move taking place and my PC imploding I really don’t think that’s going to happen. I have the files I need stored online, just not organised. Whether I manage to fix it or not I’m sure I’ll manage to get the next part up during the week…it’s just a little more awkward than it could have been.
4) Learn to tie a bow tie. I think I’ve worn a bow tie once in my life before, and that was a clip-on. I have a ball to go to next Saturday and so I’m hiring a tux to go with it. This means I need to don the tux and shirt along with cummerbund and bow tie. I reason that I’m an intelligent guy with access to the internet so I’m sure I’ll manage to tie it into some sort of reasonable bow. It’s a themed ball…strangely the theme is Blackpool (for those reading this who are not in the UK, imagine Las Vegas with donkeys…and less lightbulbs). This means there’s meant to be fairground rides (in a hotel?) and a casino (yay). I can see myself just playing poker or blackjack all night. The best thing about it is I will have moved by then so I’ll have a 10 minute walk home at 2am in my drunken stupour.
5) Watch The X-Files. I’ve watched about 3 series in the last two weeks, and wish to watch the rest of season 8, season 9 and The Lone Gunmen before the new movie comes out at the end of the month. It should be doable, as I watched season 7 over two days last weekend. It’s still a fantastic show…I love rewatching it. I’m quite looking forward to the second film too.
6) I don’t really have a sixth. I’m avoiding the mention of anything work related, as I’ll have to then admit to myself what I haven’t done. I’m avoiding the fact my best friend is leaving London, as I’ll have to then admit to myself that that will suck big time. I’m avoiding little just now - as life is very good, and interesting, and without real issues.
I am avoiding stuff though.
Aren’t we all?

The best Scorsese fillum since Goodfellas. Entertaining, great performances, bloodiness ensues. Lovely.

Fun to kick back and watch, but the novelty wears off with repeated watching/lack of alcohol.

Absolutely pointless, but sadistically funny. I've seen it twice now and hooted with laughter both times.

Runs on a bit too long, and the ending is rubbish. Great effects, some genuinely funny moments throughout - and if it had been a bit shorter it would have rated higher. Good fun.

I watched this whilst laying in bed; amusing enough for a late night trashy comedy. Elisha is plenty nice to watch regardless of her acting abilities...or lack thereof.

I’m excited for you for your move. Despite it being small. And despite the plain fact that you have to move and moving sucks.
Is it because of your friend leaving London that you have to move (was he your flatmate)? And, if it’s not too personal, why is he leaving?
Last note totally unrelated to anything: If you need or want my help cleaning up any of the Cow and Chicken/Barnyard Animal sites just let me know. I don’t have a lot of free time, but I have enough that I can go in and delete spam once in a while until it’s gone.
That is indeed why I am moving. He is off to New Zealand for a year before returning to live in Scotland.
Thanks, as always, for your support.

Oh yes. All avoiding something. I’m avoiding more than I’m facing right now.
Often easier to avoid things…in the short term. Doesn’t help with the long term though :o\

By the time I read the first paragraph I’d decided my comment was going to be: “it’s July already, X-Files month as per the lyric!” but I realise that has been covered further down the bullet pointed list
Although it’s not out until August 1st here though, is it? Since I will be throwing underwear in Leicester Square I’ve decided it counts regardless of when I see the movie.
Good luck with the move - does sound like a great location, much as I liked your last flat! When I’m down in London for work I tend to stay in Russell Square because one of the hotels we use most often is there. Okay it was just the one time, but still.
Not sure when you’re arriving and what your plans are…but should you need to drop bags off or anything let me know. My office is 5 mins walk from Leicester Square so nicely convenient.
