    And the Raven says Forevermore…


    2010 - 04.14

    Mmm…

    Return to Forever -> Live at Montreux [2008]

    Takes me back…King Crimson to come after, so a bit of time travel it is for me tonight.

    Thanks Steve!

    A quick Dock in Port…


    2010 - 04.10

    Fun night, bit of “hanging” around with “encouragement” by an old friend, although left to sleep alone and no breakfast duet… 🙁

    Still worked off the week’s work angst 🙂 And it rained last night and this morning, so a not too shabby start to a weekend.

    Did manage a quick slip into JB HiFi early last night before the show and picked up “9” on Blue-Ray. Should enjoy that tonight I think.

    Friday, not any other day…


    2010 - 04.09

    Seriously can’t wait for work to be over today. Runes are clear, so I’ve sent the word out, and looking forward to some dining, “de-stressing” and curling up in bed with someone tonight and breakfast in the morning.

    Thursday night ramblings…


    2010 - 04.08

    For a short week it’s been a very very LONG week! Can’t wait for 17:00 tomorrow.

    This week i’ve been filling two roles, and I’ve been dragged into more work politics than I’d like: I can’t wait to go back to being a “pleb” on the ground. I’m much happier forgetting the politics and getting back on the ground helping get REAL work done!

    Also this week I’ve started an exercise (or perhaps I REALLY mean exOrcise) regime. My last threesome left me feeling somewhat less than 100% up to par so I’ve found the motivation to try and regain my fitness level of 10 years ago. If nothing else at the moment it’s helping me sleep better at night. Seems Furbag is having trouble waking me up last few nights.

    Given that tomorrow is Friday, I may go for a quick trip to check out JB Hifi and see if LoRT Blue-Ray is there yet, given it was released on the 6th just gone. I’m still dubious about the worth given the lack lustre reviews, but somehow I don’t think I’ll be able to help myself…

    The Fellowship Fails…


    2010 - 04.01

    It seems that my wait for “Lord of the Rings” movie on Blue-Ray is going to have to wait longer, very disenchanting review for the April Release. Not only is it less than “Reference Quality”, but it’s ONLY the Theatrical Releases and no new extras. Feeling very disappointed, as I WAS going to buy this the day I could get my hands on it. Now I’ll only be renting it first and MAYBE buying it if I can find it cheap!

    Nice way to finish a work week…


    2010 - 04.01

    Left work this morning at 06:30 for a drive to SA Border and back to do 2 jobs! Amazing Fog all the way this morning, with only a break for 1km each side of Hamilton. Neither job had any surprises which was absolutely amazing considering the drive.

    Back home by 14:30 SO pretty much a perfect work day. Some days are just plain EXCELLENT!

    And I am having Tuesday as an ADO so get an extra day off!!

    I wish the Committee of Desire didn’t have such free reign in my head somedays! A Demon that was sleeping seems to have turned in it’s slumber and appears to be waking again. It shouldn’t be possible to want something so badly that you logically know you can’t have and have to keep telling yourself to stop thinking you can.

    In Search of the Moa…


    2010 - 03.28

    I think I’m going to make a concerted effort to holiday in New Zealand or be organised for a holiday there by the end of 2011. Guess somebody will be Furbag sitting!

    The Crazy Trail continues…


    2010 - 03.28

    Well last week was another crazy week at work, but it’s over and yesterday was very relaxing. Still doesn’t bode well for this coming week. I’m glad it’s only four days.

    I just wonder how it is that Project “Managers” get jobs in the first place, and why people seem to think they should be paid so much money for constant fuck ups!

    The Four Corners…


    2010 - 03.26

    It seems people are falling apart around me. Two friends have told me today they’ve left their respective long term partners, and another two told me that they’re precariously balanced with regard to their relationships.

    All of them involve children of some age under Ten, which means it will be difficult for the children to understand what their parents need to do and why. It’s amazing how far apart people will grow before they take the necessary steps, or even admit that’s what needs to be done. Still such investments are difficult to release and there just isn’t a nice and easy way out. I know, I’m a nice guy who likes the idea of an easy way out but has never found one!

    Furbag and I have clocked up Fifteen years together, maybe I’m in for another surprise before the week’s out!
