So I’m at my parents…hence the iPAQ entry – listening to my ancient Eagle amplifier….and some old tapes.
I’ve actually had a fairly productive day (the iPAQ suggested “failed” – is it trying to say something?) – I’ve fitted the radio-cassette, the volt-meter and the clock into Rebecca. What we discover is this: the windscreen wipers use a staggering amount of power. Switching on the radio, the headlamps (on main beam) and the interior fan is fine; we can still charge the battery. Add the wipers and things go rather rapidly downhill. Ah well, at some point I’ll get an alternator fitted.
It’s odd lying here, listening to this stuff which I used to listen to a lot a while back. Strange to hear it all again (Pulp: Intro: O.V.: #Oh yeah, she’s going away). Brings back some memories. Funny thing – on top of my tv is an old-ish picture of me. And I looked at it, and I thought “that looks like my brother”. I actually quite like this picture – I guess because to some extent I find relating me then to me now quite hard. It feels a lot like a different life.
But I guess the pain of some of my memories proves that it’s not a separate life really. I’m waaay to tired to expand on this properly.
(Pulp: Intro: Sheffield, Sex City)
There’s also my university picture. I wonder how many of those people I’ll see again (not close friends – people I just know (knew) off my course). Actually, I wonder how many of my close friends I’ll see again – what with always being broke.
So – do I try and do bike courier work?
Anyway – my parents commented on how much more stable / less moody I am these days. I….I think I am.
However – I’ve put on weight. How do I know? Because I got my jeans dirty earlier – an so was scrabbling through the clothes I’ve left here – and I don’t fit into them. Not only that, but stuff which was way too big for me before is now too small. I guess I’d just got so used to being crap at digesting food that my eating habits have got out of hand. As has my lack of exercise. So it’s time to do something about that.
And how are we liking the new comment feature? I still feel increadibly lazy for letting / getting Amy to write that.
What else? Well, Ellen Hayes ‘Tucker’ story continues to keep me hooked. I wish my writing was anywhere near as good. The only problem with it is I’m now desperate to read the next installment (/chapter). Gah!
Hrumph, the bath I had out here has really dried my skin….
I think it’s time for me to do my dilation and head bedwards…(well, tbh I’m already in bed…oh the wonders of portable computer power…!).
Notice the cool date? 30032002.

I hate sleeping alone.

Well, I fixed the !!!Link!!! thing, I just totally forgot about it when I transfered the entries from my iPAQ. Never mind…
And, I still feel guilty, I should have put the effort in myself, but I’m a dreadfully lazy cow, and yes. Mmm. So thankyou for writing it :-)

Totally forgot about that when I copied the pages over from the iPAQ….
And still, *hugs* for writing the comment code.

Okay, I’m an idiot. All like to congratulate me for that? Please? Go on….I’m not going to edit out the proof of my idiocy, I’m going to leave it there as a permanent reminder to myself not to be so bloody stupid.

You’re not stupid. At all. Na ah. And I think I’ll update the script to strip html and add >br<(hmm.. did I get the brakets the right way around?) where it finds linebreaks. And once more, you’re not stupid.
