Want to see my puppies?

Been having some good ideas at work, for work but haven't found the right motivation to put them into play yet.



Found a funny (though a little borderline) article on my University's Student Union news website.
Other highlights today were, again student related, the Union building hosting a Nintendogs promotion. During the week I noticed they had Gameboy DS pods for demos with the doggie game. However, at lunchtime today all I could hear in the foyer was 'ahh' and 'isn't he/she cute' caused by the live puppies held by promotional staff organised by Nintendo. The idea was to vote for your favourite puppy out of the 4 on display. Kerry squealed with delight when I reported to her over the phone, although has given up with her own virtual puppies (dogs that is) after a couple of weeks of owning the games machine. Its up to me to take them for walkies and feed them.



Another thing to cheer me up today is that I have Friday off for Xmas shopping so no helpdesk duties for me. Yay!

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...

Lego Luke & Leia

Nothing too exciting this week hence the lack of blogging entry. Highlights of the weekend were shopping and repairing the garden fence whilst avoiding the spider invasion. I've never been in a house to have so many different types of spiders. The downstairs bathroom is rife with skinny blob-with-legs spiders that live off lint whereas Kerry gets terrorised by the monster tree spiders with the muscle to crawl up the plug hole. Another slightly annoying thing is our Polish neighbours who are getting a bit noisy lately playing naff folky music before we want to get up. Although there's the regular couple, they seem to have a different friend or two staying every other week with bathroom noises through our paper-thin bedroom wall. Latest purchases are the new Lego Star Wars II game, which has been on all week and currently listening to Whitey 's album, The light at the end of the tunnel is a train . Discovered his talents on that Leave them all behind mix album. It’s electr...
