Jeez-o has a lot happened. I think I was offline for 3 or 4 days, it went by so quick and I was using my laptop for music connected to the hi-fi in the other room and there's no network access there and my pc desk was to messy to bother and whatnot.

First of all it was Beki's birthday and the day before I took her to the Bombay Bicycle Club and we had a really nice Indian meal and got tons of food - starters, side orders, the whole shebang. We then went to Avoca for a little while and back to Beki's armed with two movies from Blockbuster (who, by the way, cancelled my membership and nearly didn't let me join again and the shop was about to shut) - Dig! and Sahara.

On her actual birthday, though, I was working and then went to Beki's house where a bunch of her friends and people came round before we all went to the Commplex. I got her a pair of Dunlop trainers and mittens that she chose and also a Sleepy 7 Dwarf that she didn't know about.





On Christmas Eve I met up with the guys after leaving Beki's to drop off her Christmas present (an iPod nano! and some good books) and ended up wishing Steve a Merry Christmas at midnight - just like 2004!



Christmas day saw us meeting up with my Mum's sister, Kim's, family and my Nana and we went down by the forth road bridge to eat at the Old Bridge restaurant. It was a cool view, especially with the huge smoke cloud on the other side of the water. The food was excellent and it was a fun meal.

After going home for a while to play the usual games and eat even more food Beki came round but pretty much everone had gone so we went back to her Uncle Dan's House. They hadn't even finished eating because Beki was working at the restaurant til like 5. Tons of people were there and it was good fun and we ate even more.



I got so much stuff too - DVD burner and a DVD player.. Smallville 1, Sin City, Curb Your Enthusiasm 1 + 2, 3 Copies of Batman Begins.. Kany West ticket, Batman Year 1, Lots of nice clothes, cool boxers (comic book), pizza set etc etc.

More recently been shopping, lazing about, getting tons more stuff (traded one of the Batman Begins for Back to the Future trilogy and Uncle Buck! Sales are great) and enjoying all the time off. Not sure about New Years yet but hopefully going to see Alien in the filmhouse on the 2nd or 3rd.

Well Christmas has approached faster than ever and the good start I made on present buying at the start of the month hasn't really continued. I am mainly working this week and need to organise some time to get into town and buy everyone's present (including Beki's birthday).

I'm taking Beki out to the Bombay Bicycle Club for her birthday dinner tomorrow night, after work. That was a bit of a tongue twister alliteration. It's also the best name ever for a restaurant and I reckon it will be tremendous fun. Then on Wednesday she's having a small party in her house before a bigger Christmas party for people she knows.

Ok, look. I haven't taken many pictures recently but hopefully with all that's going on over the next few days I should have a gallery or twelve for you look at. Okay??

Bright Eyes is awesome. That is all.

Ok, I'm pretty happy, we got a lot of filming done last night for the two-minute short and there are a few good people who helped out a lot. I think Ian might have some photos and if I speak nicely to him he might give me them, but I don't know.

We filmed it at Laura's flat and there were about 8 of us in all, including the two actors. It was cool and Toyah didn't seem to mind too much when she came home early and we had set up a film set in her bedroom. I owe them one.

I was at Beki's again last night which is steadily becoming a tradition for Mondays. She makes a good dinner and we watch some tv or a movie. Good stuff.

We got the decorations up now but, when I say we, I mean not really me much. I missed it. The outside ones are getting added to every year and I reckon by the time I'm mid-twenties or something that I can convince my dad just to have a crazy amount, even though I'm not living there... nativity play, blow up santa with sleigh and reindeer, a billion light strings etc.

I gots two days of term left and we got let out real early today. So me and Lee got driven down to 24 Hour Tesco by Drew and bought food. I got doughnuts. Yesss.

I got the big toy box of Lego out of my attic and am sorting it for sale on eBay. I know if I don't sell it, it will just stay up there and gather more and more dust until someone throws it away. Plus I need mo' money for Christmas.

Muz and me and the rest of the usual people are starting a prank war where we spend three days pranking each other out and trying to come up with some funny pranks. I don't know when it's coming but it's soon.

Everytime I look at my advent calendar I'm way behind on the doors. Chrismas is coming so soon and I have been buying a few things here and there. Mainly here, on the internet.

Three days of college left! I will probably update tomorrow in high spirits or a bad mood, all depending. So.. Wish me luck..

Yeah and I know that at least one person reads this and I hardly see any comments. I'm not asking you to do that but if you were you could answer any or all of these questions.

1) Do I really need comments anyway?

2) Should I have an about page?

3) Should I have links to other journals?

I've started Christmas shopping and that means that I have no money to go out at the weekends or buy food or anything so me and Beki stayed in the past couple of nights and watched some good tv and some Christmas movies.

Today Beki's uncle gave me a lift up town, after a That 70s Show marathon, so I could add to the little shopping I had already done. After a speed shop that lasted about 20 minutes, I met me dad and sister to do some extra shopping for other folks and then we went back to the house to look at all the different wrapped presents and eat seafood pasta.

This week I will be working as much as I can, hopefully filming a new short film (or doing all the preperations for it), meeting Beki, meeting my friends and planning the rest of my shopping..

Yesterday I decided it was important to stay home and wait for Mr. Delivery Man to come with my new hard drive and and caddie for it (I can carry a hard drive with me at all times to increase my geek-ness. Ok, so it's for my course). I paid extra money for it to be delivered on that exact day so there would be no fuss.

The website said Mr. D Man would appear anytime between 8am and 6pm so I watched some movies and Seinfeld and then 6pm came and went and he didn't. Feeling thoroughly let down I sent an email to the people and made my way to Beki's who made it all better with home made carbonara, ciabatta, a bottle of diet coke and a rented copy of War of the Worlds (awesome).

I get a call at about 7 and it's my mum and I didn't even know she had the number for Beki's and shes all 'there's a package here for you, the neighbour had it'. So I'm all confused but a bit happy and I get her to open it whilst on the phone to check it and then she's all 'oh, I don't think it is for you, I think it's caviar' so I'm all unhappy again but then I start to eat dinner and it's ok.

Another hour goes by and I get another call and it's my dad and I didn't even know he had the number for Beki's and he's all 'the package is yours and not caviar'. Then, when I make him check it properly, half of it is missing.

So after getting real confused I come home from college and there is a note saying the rest is at the post depot. But then at 5pm Mr. Delivery man comes to the door and he has it.

Well done if you followed that because I didn't. I've been all mega geeky and Mr. Fix All Computers since then and a minute ago I was trying to fix my parent's computer and I was playing the Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack and my sister was playing the Jungle Book soundtrack and it was a weird deja vu and Christmas preparation time.
