A Week in Waffle

Quote of the moment: "Pie corrupts. Absolute pie corrupts absolutely"

New Weeble and Bob - Parallel - it's pr0...

Apologies for my failure to blog all this week... The reason is simple: I set up my lappie on my desk in my room, where I could wake up in the morning, roll over and sit in bed, playing it. Hurrah! However, to go online I have to bring my lappie downstairs into the conservatory! Effort required! Plus it's chilly in here... Some severe shrinkage will happen if I try this in January without thermal undies :p

So - a compressed tale of the last week, hopefully without too much rambling... Unfortunately I've forgotten most of the amusing things I've seen this week, so the humour quotient will probably be even lower than normal... Soz :D

Last Saturday was the day of the epic meet-up... Watching "Hero" at the Freeport cinema, then to Will T's house for supper and gaming... Hero was pr0 - very arty, all the variations of the storyline are in bold colours - one scene has the two fighters in red, and the surroundings yellow from fallen leaves, for example... I thought it was cool, but not to everyone's liking... Also a distinct lack of blood, so I guess Jim was disappointed! :p That didn't stop him from trying a bit of street-running over the benches outside on the (wrong) way to the car :D I followed, but made the benches wobble so much I bottled out of hurdling... Sigh!

Back at Will's, we posed for piccies in our new Kr3w T-shirts (W0W!) and played on Jimmy's 'cube... Supper was awesome - spanx Will m8 (and your rents :p) - fajitas with chicken 'n' spicey stuff... Twas awesome... Then it was "Shaun of the Dead" time! Hurrah! Twas very cool stuff... I agree with Jim: "I wish that'd happen for real"... "Why?"... "Cos you can run around smashing peoples' heads in, legally!"

Since then, a pretty boring week... Watched a few films, the usual! Wednesday I stayed on after my lessons and had a wander around the shops in Cambridge with my mini-me, looking for birthday prezzies... Me = 22nd of October, her = 11th of October... the first day of lectures at Bath! Mwahahaha! I then sped back down to Chelmsford for a physiotherapy session... Just a group session because my dodgy knee's become rather weak again, along with the rest of me!

That wore me out so much that I didn't wake up until 1pm on Thursday, the same time as my sports session started! Oops! It's optional anyway... :p I did make it there in time for my TA, or timed assessment, at 2.30... Though I forgot my pad of paper, so I had to write on the back of bumf from my induction pack! Oh dear...

On Friday Jimmy came over again, delivering my Foo Fighters CD ('nk you!) stuff for Will and Podge's T-shirt, to be distributed via my sister... Also showing off his card tricks - Very impressive stuff... Watched Green Wing: very entertaining, as usual, especially Martin's T-shirt with the glow-in-the-dark horns on the shoulders!

Last night my mum was late back from a school reunion, so she picked up fish and chips... Hurrah again! We were trying to come up with something my rents could give me for my birthday... Found a set of dumbells in the ubiquitous Argos catalogue, for 25 squid, so it wont be the major part... But I'm gearing up to get fit! Shock horror! Need to be ready for my RCB fitness test, and even just to pass the medical I need my knee in full working order... I even went for a run this morning! Only about 1km, down to the roundabout at the end of the road and back... but back is uphill, so I'll stick to that for the next week (I hope!) before attempting anything more ambitious! It had me wheezing at the end, but I did at least manage to stride it out, not shuffle-jog... Was thinking of doing some "core-strength" stuff when I got back from running, but not today! I'll hopefully update on my (lack of) progress in that direction some-time soon!

Final thought: The World's Worst Website - go chortle...
