Oooohhh. This morning I felt GOOD. All day yesterday I had a hangover. The mother of all hangovers and the father-of-all-hangover got together again for one night to make a little baby BASTARD of a hangover just for me. It was self-inflicted of course. No-one ever had a hangover without it being their own fault. […]

Dreamlog – November 8, 2000
In last night’s dream, I was biting my fingernails (as I often do when awake) and noticed a very itchy feeling under and around my fingernails. I poked around (using a cotton bud or q-tip) and revealed a cavernous hollow filled with writing white-yellow worms. I have had dreams before involving pulling large, earthworm-sized (again, […]
Five-a-Side
Yesterday I played indoor, five-a-side football for the first time in years. It was a friendly 4-a-side match as we didn’t have enough players for a real game of five-a-side football. It was also the first aerobic exercise I’ve done in the past 12 months (other than making the beast with two backs of course). […]
Dreamlog – Skanky LEGO
Last night I spent half an hour washing some old skanky Lego I had purchased from a guy at work. It was covered in bluetac and plasticine. Disgusting. Afterwards, the bath was so grim I had to clean it, regretting how much I’d handed over for this old dirty Lego. Now it’s drip-drying on a […]
Geeking out with Winamp
Tired today. For the last 2 days I’ve been playing with Lego until about 1am, and being woken up at 7am by the postman delivering parcels. Had a bit of a breakthrough at work last night, and finally got something working I’d been trying to do for 3 or 4 days. What a relief. I […]
Autumn leaves
Where I live it is Autumn now. I am lucky enough to walk past a few trees on my way to work. They were beautiful today. Red is spreading through the leaves, as though the roots are sucking up pints of red food colouring. I’ve been 22 for 2 days now. It’s funny, when you’re […]
Machine Rooms
I work for a very large IT company. In dark, underground rooms beneath the ground, we have machine rooms. Different rooms contain computers for different purposes. One area might contain a few hundred web servers. Another room has machines used for internal purposes, like software development or testing. We don’t call it a server room […]
“Minor riot” in Paulsgrove
Yesterday, I discovered I was completely addicted to Gravilux. It is nifty. It runs as an applet, and by changing the size and fiddling with the params, I have been making art for my desktop. Must stop. Must stop. My project leader is away for two weeks (getting married). This means that I have to […]
Dreamlog – Aug 2nd 2002
Very clear and disturbing dream last night. I dreamed I was moving out of a large, very lovely rented house with the help of my wife. All was going well, until we realised that the large number of boxes outside the front door were already going to fill the small car to capacity. When we […]
