Is It After Eight Yet?


Hi folks (that's me a Simpson). I hope you're not getting your hopes up about this blog (i.e. wishing I'll write regularly) because I doubt that'll ever happen. What I do wish for though is that you enjoy what I write, or atleast read it out of interest. Anyway, that probably didn't make much sense but hey!

As for what's been going on so far in 2009; not much. I've started working properly in my new job and its going well. Hopefully those above me agree (lol). I've also been watching alot of The West Wing Thank god for Martin Sheen, I don't know what I'd do without him! I've also been getting stuck in with reading BO's book. Woop.

There are new videos up on my YouTube Channel! and also on Steph's Channel, which funnily enough feature yours truly.

I bought a diary this year, for both keeping work dates and a memory. But I hope and have an incling that this blog will turn into a wasted £3.67(15% VAT rate made the price funny) on a book that I never used.

Steph and I also set up a collaborative youtube channel, where we challenge ourselves to do things and film video diaries of how its all going. The first challenge is that dreaded New Years Resolution of "lose weight". Of course, we have a target. We're off to Florida on hols in April, and we wanna be skinnier before we go, so that we can put on the pounds when we come back. We're not disclosing our weights right this moment, but I can tell you that we're both aiming to lose 10% of our overall weight(each). Wow, lol - 10% between us might be fun; but far too easy for Steph. Anyway, this box of after eights has been staring me out for days (since xmas actually) and my will power is keeping me by until ATLEAST eight o'clock before I look at them again. Lol. MMM. Is it after eight yet?

I'm Listening to Greenday. And it's 2009. The Year of Change, I Guess.

I'm sitting here writing this, having spent the last few days drinking alcohol much later than in the day I should have and also much earlier than is allowed at any other time in the year. Today I've been watching videos from tapes on my old camera. In there I've watched a Barbie re-enactment of JFK's assasination and me pretending to be an Austrian Spy. There's also a very entertaining poetry recital involving the lyric "Carol Ann Duffy is old and puffy" ._. (The above may be uploaded to my youtube channel soon.)

Christmas was fun, my love and I spent the day at mine with the family; your typical Christmas, I guess. New Year was fun; drunken and a failed Bon Fire; your typical Hogmanay really!

If there's anyone even reading this who watches my vids on youtube, you may or may not have noticed as yet that I got a new video camera for Xmas from Steph, so I shall be abusing it until it is no longer a novelty. Lol. But I have the slightest feeling, that it'll probably be a novelty for ages.

No New Years resolutions as yet, as according to physchologists and this article , we shouldn't set standards at the beginning of the year, only to be dissappointed in the next few weeks.

But, who knows, maybe some resolutions will appear on here soon enough. Im getting fat and I'm off to Flo Rida in April, so we'll see if I hit the gym quick enough or not.

That's all my thoughts for now. I'm going to go and bore myself to death with the wonders of C-List celebrities and Davina McCall's nose in the new series of CBB which begins in half an hour.

Ciao for now!
