The Purple Rose
I received a surprising gift at work this morning. Click the picture for a full-size snap.
AltA Purple Rose... But From Who?
A gift box from InterRose, delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery. The building manager who brought it up from the reception desk to my office kept insisting that it wasn't from him (apparently โฆ -
Dumping for Dummies

Wow, it's been nearly a month since I put finger to key for the sake of this old thing. In case anyone's wondering, I was feeling hurt and a bit isolated due to the total lack of concern you all showed when I had my first taste of bereavement (with the notable โฆ -
Is There Anything More Romantic?
Claire and I stayed up late and played multiplayer Civilization 3: Conquests together. When the Carthaginians picked on her, I stuck up for her and razed one of their cities. We're hoping that by working together, we might be able to get a spaceship to Alpha Centauri before 1900.
We played until it started to get โฆ -
Final Troma Night Of The Year

And a good Troma Night it was, too. The usual people came - surprising how few of them had gone back to their families for Christmas, yet - although Liz didn't bring Tom, and, as โฆ -
Something In The Water

People keep getting together. Kate and Leu, Tom and Liz (now with a journal!), and now: Sian and Andy. Must be something in the water. The latter pair (and the one I most recently heard โฆ -
Troma Night

Ran out of food, ran out of alcohol: a disgrace from a planning perspective.
On the other hand; we watched...

A Most Unlikely Couple
It turns out that two people I know have become a couple, in what is perhaps the most unlikely relationship I could ever imagine. I'll not say who they are, here, but it's quite funny.
Claire: X and Y are toghether now.
Dan: X? And Y?
Claire: Yeh. That's what I thought.
Bryn: Hang on... X [surname]...
Claire: Yup.
Bryn: And โฆ -
Eventful
Been excessively busy this last week: lots and lots of work. Pulled a 16-and-a-half hour work day on Wednesday, fixing the entire network where my co-workers were unable to. It's a lot nicer now. In other news, I won an eBay auction for a copy of the 1974 edition of Parker Games "Careers" board game, โฆ

Sleepless
Completely exhausted. Can't sleep. Miss Claire.

A Brighter Day
I'm glad to report that I now feel that I have recovered from something that's afflicted me for most of the last year.
As you may be aware, almost eleven months ago my girlfriend, Claire, and I got together. At the time, she'd recently started (in part by my orchestration) going out with De, a great โฆ -
Scatman's World
๏ปฟ
Back in early 2002, right after a shitty break-up, I moved back in with my dad and spent my nights making an alternative music video to Scatman John's "Scatman's World" out of photos of me and my friends and snippets of badly-lipsynched webcam footage. It's full of in-jokes and if you don't already โฆ
