All Knight Long.

Monday was a meeting day at Uni. I’m trying to sort out a filming of one of Trivium’s gigs on their up and coming UK/European tour, their Bradford date to be precise. Anyway, the budgetary meeting went fine and now we play the waiting game.

I also bumped into Imran and Carmel who then invited me for lunch, which was rather nice of them. We had a Chinese buffet in Bradford, which was nice.

Tuesday, well Laura came round and became instantaneously addicted once again to ‘Rayman’, ‘Crash Bandicoot’ and exceedingly scared of the Wolves on ‘Tomb Raider’ awww. Anyway, a bit later on Jamie came round and we just hung out which was cool.

Jamie and I also came up with this humorous play on words (which Laura finally got and loved):

Yesterday, that’d be Wednesday. Well, I intended to start editing the documentary, ‘Broadband Lives’ but the edit suites aren’t fully working yet, which is pretty much a joke. As I got back into the car to go home Laura called and I ended up going to her’s for a bit. Charlotte also appeared a few hours later and I did some sketches for her – I’ll add ‘artist’ to my CV later.

I mainly went round to the Newey’s to help Laura with her media brief. However, she was more interested in MySpace so that didn’t happen. Both Charlotte and Laura are addicted now (to MySpace), and Charlotte doesn’t even have an account!!!

Later in the evening I called up to IKEA to purchase some lovely Kopperberg Pear Cider. Whilst there I was called into the IFS Office – the glorious new label printer had arrived! It should now only take an hour to tray up Bacon rather than one hour and fifteen minutes!

I then picked up Jamie and we came back to mine and watched ‘Independence Day’ – such a good film. ‘Let’s Nuke the Bastards!’ – The President.

And today. Well today I’ve got to hand in my essay. I’ve already handed it in online (which is the one that matters) but for reference purposes the University wants a physical copy too.

All Knight Long,
Charlie.

Magic Numberee

Since I can’t remember what I did on thursday night lets concentrate on what I did on Friday.

Well, work springs to mind, the usual 4-10 shift. It had its exceedingly busy moments but nothing I couldn’t cope with. After all it is only cooking meatballs and fish, nothing extravagent.

I do know I’ve been working on this ‘Individual Report’ quite a bit. I’m not rushing it and I’m checking it as I go along which is basically doubling the amount of time it is taking to write.

Well, I did that on Friday night and I’ve been doing it most of today. Well, except when Jamie and I went to KFC. We were planning on touring J27 as one does but as we arrived at the round-a-bout we were shocked at the level of traffic. Shocked I say. Needless to say we didn’t go in any shops, we just fancied some good ol’ chicken.

I continued throughout the evening until late Saturday night (not too long ago actually) when I popped into Leona’s to see how she was doing. We watched some ‘Two Pints’ on BBC Three and some ‘Scrubs’, two shows I really do love.

Oh and I’ve just enabled my magic number. It enables a person to call a chosen number of theirs for three hours a day for nothing (or 15p, once on PAYG). However, the chosen number must be on Orange.

Anyway, the people I talk to the most aren’t on Orange. I don’t ring Matt, Chris, Zoe, Joe, Adam or Imran often enough to justify choosing them. Well, not three hours a day anyway and Leona and Jamie aren’t on Orange (grrr).
So I bestowed the glorious title of ‘Magic Numberee’ on Miss Laura Newey. It made the most sense since.

Drinking copious amounts of Lipton Ice Tea,
Charlie.

Worst Spillage Ever

I’ve just bought a new keyboard, I’ll tell you why in a moment. The best thing about it is its ’soft touch’ style. However, it has a curved nature about it. In addition to:

A ridiculously small left shift key

Overly-large N, B, V, H, G, T keys (probably to compensate for the new, curved style.)

A distinct lack of Microsoft Favourite (lazy man) keys so I now have to find where my downloaded movies live…

—

Why did I replace my rather fantastic Microsoft Keyboard with Fingerprint reader then? Well, Laura came over and I hit her full glass of lemonade (I meant to hit her) which fell on the keyboard and on a number of other important documents which probably make it the worst spillage ever: my counterpart driving license, my car insurance certificate, partially on my wallet and lets say the magna carta and the declaration of independence was there too.

Weirdly, Laura didn’t play much Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas… The Sims 2 this time, not a bad choice I must say.

—

I bought this keyboard in Tesco, obviously. It was only £15. It was so busy I couldn’t understand why. I also couldn’t understand as to why the family, well couple in front of Chris and I were buying four giant bottles of Tesco Value cooking oil and a large tub of cheap, again Tesco Value mayonnaise. I’m intrigued as to what concoctions they will create from these two fantastic and healthy ingredients.

So-Co mate,
Charlie.
