A painful red swelling that contains liquid

Friday, September 30th, 2005 at 4:24 pm

Re-enrolment at Racodac took place at a ridiculously early 9:15 AM this morning. Okay, so that’s not too early. But I did have to get up really early to be there on time.

Other than missing my turn when they called out my number (because Elliot S. was talking to me), sitting down at the wrong table (because Elliot said it was where I should sit), and getting a fat blister on the back of my foot (because I had to walk back to the bus stop to meet Elliot when he arrived late to walk in together), everything went smoothly.

Racodac fun starts properly on Monday at 10:00 AM. Be there and be square.

My new monitor is here and everything* looks much, much better. Hooray!

*That’s everything viewed on the computer; actual coat hangers still look unnecessarily boring.

Or is it just your humble narrator’s rassoodock?

It took some hunting, but I’ve got it now.

Set fire to those blankets

I today purchased a new coat. Now I realise that saying so means that this is the second consecutive post about clothing. But I can assure you that I’m not getting fashionable.

I’ve found my pyjamas!

And dressing gown. I left them in my father’s old dark room, or so it would seem.


For those of you who didn’t know I’d even lost them, I did. But I’ve got them back now. So not to worry.

I’ve just got the highest score on Tetris.

How can that be? Where could it go?

I can’t sign into one of my Hotmail accounts – haven’t been able to all day. It’ll let me into my other two. And the problematic account works fine on Passport.

So I’m asking: Has someone sent me something dodgy? (Hob?! :-P )

Ah, that was sooo good.

The Bill - live

Fooking brilliant for something live. So much in it: car crash, explosions, gunshots etc. Really good. I’d love to work on something like that. Was really looking forward to it - was really geared up, literally sitting on edge of my seat – to be that bit nearer to television looking for boom mics, crew members and the likes.

A fantastic effort for a live episode. Yes, there were a couple of fluffs, but they were all unavoidable. I was going nuts during the advert break when the signal broke at ITV’s end. ‘twas so glad when it sorted itself out in time for final five mins.

And I couldn’t help but laugh at the liveness of it all - delayed delivery of lines, squibs going off a second later than they should’ve done, the car not toppling over and the stuntmen laughing because of this. But oh, it was excellent.

I’m really on a high after that. I’m going to watch it again. Now.
