Google me to see where I am!

The lack of real blog entries lately has been down to being either really busy on things that aren't that exciting or small things that only deserve a Twitter shout. I blame it on the Winter Olympics and decorating.

First off, something I forgot to mention that a friend who works for Brighton council said that my photo (right) had made their 'media briefing'. Not quite sure what this means but being a secret council informer/spy excites me slightly. 

Kev, Karol, Sarah and James all celebrated their birthday at the end of February/start of March. After some pre-drinks at K and K's we bundled round to the Disco Dungeon and started the proper party. Since updating to Windows 7 and Virtual DJ 6 I'd hoped for a stress-free set. The only thing that went wrong was the time codes where the sound quality using the virtual vinyl was a watery-muffled sound. As soon as I switched to just using the laptop all was good and had another blinding set with loads of whoops from the girls. The only problem again is that I didn't record the set though perhaps this would jinx my DJ mojo.

Otherwise we've been decorating, losing the biggest pub quiz roll-over cash prize and watching some over-due DVD films like The Hangover and Something, Something, Something, Darkside (the Family Guy take on the Empire Strikes Back). Both very funny. I've been feeling crap as well with the longest stint of invisible cold (overcome by laziness and moaned all the time). Today is the first time I've actually felt normal for over a week.

We celebrated our anniversary Wednesday night. An interesting Chinese restaurant called Good Friends on Preston Street, Brighton. Web reviews were good and turned out to be accurate. Although the ambience was a little bright, the food and service was excellent. Nice touch with the menus. You got a proper authentic cuisine menu and one for tourists. The authentic one had dishes based on duck webs, fish lips, intestines, frog legs and pigs trotters (though spelt as troiters). None of that was ordered but slightly regretted one of the starters as the smell and burp taste was rank cabbage.

Finally, Google Streetview got fully launched covering the whole of the UK and not just London). Ever since seeing the Google camera car driving down our street last April I'd been expecting to see ourselves in the photo. It wasn't hard to remember when this happened as we were driving back from the vets after putting our furry friend, Sasha down before our Peru holiday.
