Bad Hair Day

The day started badly when I was rebuilding my laptop this morning and

everything seemed to hang. A quick bit of poking around seemed to

indicate that my cable modem, although flashing, wasn't talking to the

outside world. This is never an auspicious start to the day. Luckily

by the time I'd got into work everything seemed to back up and running

again so I ain't going 'net cold turkey yet :-)Got through the fireworks party without loosing any major limbs.

Seemed to go well although I have no idea how many people where

squeezed into the house. For some reason a group of people had decided

the kitchen wasn't cool enough for them so they crowded into the

little square of carpet between my kitchen and rear bathroom where the

spare freezer/re-cycling bay is. Odd.

Sunday was a very chilled out affair as after the rugby we spent most

of the day playing Soul Caliber II with Chris P, Phil, Karen and

Glyn. I ended up with a minor case of PS2 thumb at the end of it.

Actually quite surprised at my winning streak once I'd got the hang of

Rap heal (the pirate type dude, natch). I finished off the evening

watching Human Traffic

with Jo who

popped around in the evening.
