I’m working as fast as I can!

First the guest list…

Can you believe it? It’s a year today since my cyber wedding to Kim… Of course it was only three weeks later that we were cyber divorced because I wouldn’t put out… That and a certain person wanted to run off with her!

It’s quite a coincidence really… Since the wedding was originally going to be a journal story, not a forum event, one which as it turns out, I never did get finished! However… I found my notes today as well… :thinking: So I shall make every endeavour to get up at a decent hour tomorrow (like before 6pm) and get it finished and posted to commemorate the event…

Picture the scene… It’s almost 3am in a small sleepy village. Everyone in the house is asleep.

You step outside and it’s so quiet that you can hear the water running through the pipes underground.

All is calm, all is quiet…

Next thing you know, the house is filled with smoke, the smoke alarm is screaming loud enough to wake the dead, never mind 4 streets in every direction, and you find yourself hurtling through the kitchen, screaming like a banshee and on the verge of swearing like a sailor…

Hamlet’s mother, she’s the queen
Buys it in the final scene
Drinks a glass of funky wine
Now she’s Satan’s Valentine.

Why is it I always end up a blubbering wreck every time I watch The Renaissance Man?

I think I’m getting less and less patient the older I get.

I seem to be so irritated by people lately. The people who just can’t follow the simplest of instruction… I have this almost uncontrollable urge to beat them senseless with a large haddock.

The same could be said for tele-sales persons who ring up and spend half an hour telling you how they really aren’t going to give you the hard sell and sales pitch… Then proceed to tell you why you just have to buy their product. You tell them you don’t want it, you explain to them how you aren’t working and have no money… They tell you what a offer of a lifetime it is, how you’re saving so much money then put you on hold for 30 seconds and offer you another £50 off.

If you can knock even more money off… It can’t have been that good an offer! I’m still working on finding a tele-sales person who can understand the concept of “I’m not working… I have no money” If I have no money, it doesn’t matter if you offer it to me for £150 or £100… I still have no money! Even worse was the fact that I had just explained that I had used earlier versions of the software… I still have most of them, and after trying it I’ve never used them since…

Now where’s that haddock…

It seems like forever since I’ve sat down and written a journal entry. I changed my password last week, and it’s been so long since I was in here, I’ve forgotten what it was :-((

But then it’s been one of those days anyway. You know the sort. The kind where you get up and within 10 minutes you just know you shouldn’t have bothered.

First off I get an email from a company that sells CD’s and CD singles. I sent them a list a few weeks ago of CD’s I want to sell. They’ve been sat on the floor taking up space ever since.

So much for regular updates

I don’t believe it!

I think someone hijacked my guestbook :-((

I haven’t been able to access the guestbook administration for the past couple of weeks, and it’s been getting spammed something rotten… Or at least I assume it has… It’s been getting a lot of entries from people using commercial websites, so I tend to doubt the genuineness of the people…

After checking with my ever-wonderful website provider, it appeared the only thing to do was delete it and create a brand new guestbook. So it’s goodbye to the old book, hello to the new book and apologies all ’round for any entries that have been lost.

I have to admit I’m not really a big fan of this current trend of making live action movies from cartoon and comic book classics. To me they just don’t really work. They always seem to be a bit of a disappointment to the fans of the original format.

That said, I have to admit that the original Scooby Doo movie was refreshingly original and entertaining. This second instalment (I say instalment since I am sure there will be several more) continues that format.

Like the first film, it is funny, entertaining and manages to keep you guessing right to the end, which is a nice change for a film aimed at children.

After many hours crawling through cupboards and under desks accomplishing angles and positions an Olympic gymnast would be proud of (that yoga’s certainly paying off!) I came to one conclusion… The laser printer I wanted is never going to fit!

Well, that’s not strictly true… It will fit, it just won’t be very practical.

I tried many different arrangements. Originally I had the scanner under the desk, the black laser printer and the colour inkjet on a pullout shelf in the cupboard, with the spare paper & toner, the video and digibox on the bottom shelf.

Now I needed to move everything around to make life easier, and to find space to put a colour laser printer.
