Arrrrrrr, the xmas madness is coming to an end. I would have blogged yesterday but I could not move from the sofa due to the vast amounts of turkey, pork, ham, wine etc… It was all very tasty though, big up thanks to the cooks. I got some very nice presents: shiny headphone-ninja headphones, two towers dvd, lots of chocolate, many pairs of socks, a box of lush goodies, and so on.
We were tempted to brave the crowds today and try and shop, but we went for an extremely “brisk” walk on the beach. The wind was absolutely screaming in off the sea and we ended up getting a small exfoliation session and a mouthfull of sand by the end of it. It all helped to blow (exterminate) the cobwebs though.
Tomorrow we are getting up “early” to browse the sales, Dad wants us out the door at 9 am. ho ho ho, should be interesting.
The Guardian have announced their best of british blog awards. I was skimming the article and noticed that my vague aquaintance george was commended in the photography section! holy crap! Congrats to George!
He is far too good with that camera 
Christmas has arrived.
Brad has finally finished/started his desktop wallpaper gaming site: desktopgaming.com.
Also, Ian has has a re-design and a shuffle about. Very basic at the moment.
Kerry finally made me get some new shoes. After going around a few places including they very swish (but expensive) office I settled on some Duff’s at Schuh and amazingly they had them in a 12! I did spot some very nice campers, which I’d never seen before. I really liked them but £95(!) was a little out of my price bracket. Anyhoo, these will do very nicely:
Well, term has ended for christmas. Got all my work handed in at the last minute (of course). I’m looking forward to a good xmas at home with food, presents and good company. Tonight I’m out celebrating with the lads but tomorrow I shall xmas shop.
Been avoiding proper uni works lots lately so I’ve been working on the GameSoc website. I’m now officially the webmaster, we had a proper AGM and everything. Its really fun getting stuck into a nice project, even if some of the code is 3rd-hand and completely unreadable. I’ve fixed a few niggling bugs and added some nifty new features which will not interest you in the slightest if you aren’t a member.
What does it spell? slack!
Yes, well, I’ve, erm, been busy….yeah, busy. Its the last week of term before xmas at uni and its deadline central. Last week we did out presentation for the SLIP module, which was bit ropey but ok. I also presented my inital project progress and ideas to our group on Friday, I was really nervous but it went well!
Now I’ve got an essay to write, a project report and a wireframe teapot to finish, all for Friday.
ho-hum
This is really rather good, much better than I was expecting. If you’re not a fan of home star runner you probably won’t “get it”.
