We’re On The Move
Always a fan of double meanings.
This weekend, Claire, JTA, Binky and I are going over to the Real Ale Ramble in Llanwrtyd Wells. It'll be fun. I just have to find some warm clothes and wash them, first.
But we're also "on the move" in that Claire and I are going to have to move out … -
O what a beautiful moooooorniiiiing...

So, after raining for both my days off, it's now sunny again. I don't mind though. Friday I got rained on, had lunch at MGs, got rained on some more, did laundry, went for a bike ride and got rained on. In the evening … -
Claire’s Birthday, and Preston
Well, Claire and I are in Preston. We travelled up here last night (after a few false starts, including getting to Mach before realising we'd left the Green Day tickets blu-tacked to the wall "so we don't forget them" in Aber and having to turn back). Claire's been made out to be a bookworm again, …

Eurovision At Troma Night?
All Troma Night folks are requested to vote on this week's Troma Night plans! Are you coming? Do you want us to watch JTA's choice of films, or would you rather we watched the final of the Eurovision Song Contest (with full drinking/betting rules) and put off JTA for another day.
"What are you waiting for? … -
Hollywood Pizza And BT Online Billing
If only BT.com online billing provided an XML feed... we could integrate our Hollywood Pizza order call times and lengths into the Troma Night web site.
Probably not a good thing, actually. -
Productive Weekend… Perhaps
This post has been censored at the request of S******. See: all censored posts, all posts censored by request of S******.
Not quite so productive a weekend as I might have hoped, but still - plenty got done. Geek Night on Friday is best described by Ruth. Saturday saw me interviewed by some Theatre, Film & … -
A Weekend Of Lockpicking
Following up the arrival of my new lockpicks, I've spent the weekend picking pretty much every lock I've come across (and helping to teach JTA and Bryn how to do it for themselves). The result: six of nine attempted locks picked, feeling significantly more well-practiced, and very, very sore fingers. I need to get some …

Weekend
I seem to spend most of my time on this blog posting retrospectively about what I did on any given weekend. Will try to spice things up with a little more thought and debateworthy stuff in the future - I've got some ideas. In any case:
Friday was Andy's gig - not as good as the … -
Not-Gay Gareth
Not-Gay Gareth Is Back In Town!
By sheer coincidence, I bumped into not-gay Gareth, a friend of mine from my second year, who studied Film & TV while working as a projectionist at the Arts Centre cinema. It's him who introduced me to both Troma and Studio Ghibli, and therefore him who's (inadvertently) been a huge … -
Things That Have Been Happening
I've had a couple of moderately hectic days, and somehow haven't found time to tell you all about them yet. Let's see what I can remember:
The Tale Of Troma Night 50
Troma Night 50 was a success: a chance to re-watch some of the films that made Troma Night's 1 and 2 so... bizarre. And it … -
Surprisingly Good Unsigned Artist
I'm actually impressed. My friend Andy's finally put some songs online, and he's really good (for one reason or another, I'd never heard anything of his before, and I'm much impressed - for some reason I'd come to the assumption that he'd be shit). Anyway - so long as you're willing to put up with …

Geeky Winnage With Bluetooth
Geeky winnage! This evening I wrote a pair of applications enabling me to use my new Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone as a remote control for WinDVD, the DVD playing software I use on my computer.
Not just a geeky project, this is fuelled by a genuine need: every Troma Night, when the pizza arrives, we end up … -
Troma Night Becomes Locally Famous
While doing a few errands around town, Bryn and I stepped into Pier Video to check whether Paul had already rented the three videos we're planning to watch at this evening's themed Troma Night: Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, and Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, and - …

Hot Puppies, Troma Night, And A Fantastic Transcript Of A Speech On DRM
[this post has been partially damaged during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004, and it has been possible to recover only a part of it]
Went to the castle to see The Hot Puppies yesterday evening. Everything I'd heard was true - they really are very good. They play well, they sing well, they … -
Re-Arranging The Flat
Yes, the the rumours you've heard are true - The Flat has been rearranged. In a mighty effort (and with the help of Claire, Paul and Bryn), we've pretty much 'mirrored' the room widthways. This change provides several benefits:
Space saved has been reinvested in floor space and room for two sets of shelves. …
