3 January 2006
Drunk:
Jack Daniels
Port (2 different kinds)
Half a bottle of Campo Viejo Gran Reserva which I brought back from some trip or other and we were saving for a special occasion.
Diet coke (lots)
Water (half a pint)
Eaten:
Pizza
Smoked Salmon with cream cheese, lemon juice and black pepper
A sizeable portion of a box of Milk Tray
The best cheese on toast ever
Roasted Onion and Balsamic Vinegar Crisps
Pasta with bacon, cheese and yellow pepper sauce
A sausage sandwich
Three chicken kievs and some chips
Four Mr Kiplings Viennese Whirls
One celebration sized Milky Way
Conversed with:
Lots of drunk people in the pub where I saw in the New Year
Adrian
The blokes behind the desk in both Game and Virgin Megastores in Reading, expressing disbelief that no copies of Gran Turismo 4 could be found
My mum
Colleagues at work
Some strangers who may not be strangers for much longer
Eva
Two cats
Viewed:
One potential new place for me to live
Knitted:
Nothing. Not one thing. Haven't even picked up the needles. Yes, this is surprising to me too.
Slept:
For 32 hours (out of 74)
Entwined
Alone
Very late
On the sofa
Found:
A dead mouse, in a trap, in the kitchen.
The only copy of Gran Turismo 4 on sale in the whole of Reading, and for only £15. I rock.
Lost:
Ten years off my life, such was the fright I got when I barely touched the mousetrap (to move it) and it went off.
Started:
To think about packing up all my crap again.
To improve my swearword vocabulary, for use when playing head to head games of the aforementioned Gran Turismo 4 or F1 05 on Playstation 2. Current favourite: fucksticks.
Stopped:
Stroking the copy of The Kitchen Diaries I was given for Christmas on the grounds that I'm freaking myself out, never mind anyone else, but trust me, this is a beautiful book and really, it deserves to be loved.
Spent:
More time in NotLondon than in London.
Less than I thought I might, which is undoubtedly a good thing, but took some serious self control when faced with the words "Half Price Sale" all around.
Played:
Table football. In a pub. And didn't totally suck.
GT4 and F1 05 and mightily sucked.
Contemplated:
The purpose of my life (again), given that the biological imperative is not a factor for me.
Living on my own for a while, just to see if I can (without prematurely achieving my goal of being a crazy old woman with lots of cats when I grow up).
The pros and cons of various living arrangements.
Life, death, the universe and why the fuck bad stuff keeps happening to good people.
The year ahead, and what I want to achieve during it.
How strange Paddington Station is when deserted at midnight(ish).
Remembered:
To post that thing I really ideally needed to post before Christmas but entirely forgot to.
That I forgot to pick up and bring home my Christmas presents from my sister, along with a circular knitting needle.
That I need to phone the Dr and re-schedule the appointment I forgot to attend before Christmas.
To set my alarm for the morning.
To tell myself that change isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Decided:
To stop writing this right about now.
Have a great New Year Pix.
For GT4 advice, speak to my David.
Was the mouse White?
I use Shazbat when things go wrong
I have to admit to having also contemplated the first thing on your 'contemplated' list. It's a tricky one. On a lighter note, however, I've asked for GT4 for my birthday and so had better get a list of swear words ready :-)
...although 'fuck-stick' is a good one, try using 'cock-wack'...it'll usually get a long and deserved contemplative pause. other good one's are 'son-of-a-whore' and the ever popular 'cunty-mic-bitch-fuck'...try saying that one 5 times fast. :-P
Love the List. did you manage to get a picture of the mouse??
My new years resolutions this year are not to make any so then I cannot brake them??!!
Whats yours?
Looking forward to seeing some more of your pictures to keep inspiring me to take more pictures.
