Friday Night, it's time to write

Well at the end of another week. As I wend my way slowly towards leaving for Canada I gradually get more and more bored at work! It almost seems like my boss realises there's no hope for me now! It all just seems a little casual, which would seem to be good, but actually it's getting really dull, and it's encouraging me to do less and less.

Think pretty much all arrangements are done now for Canada. Lift tickets bought, accomodation sorted, plane tickets bought. even got the tickets for the privilege of sitting on a bus for 6 hours to Gatwick.

I think tonight I heard the best quote I've heard for a while though:

"I can't imagine people from the West Country having sensitive teeth. It just doesn't fit."

I'm sure it has some hidden meaning, but I don't get it!.

Newsflash: Technology Reaches Rural Norfolk

Good morning. Incredibly broadband internet has finally reached this little corner of Norfolk. After years of having to go to the local library in order to use the treadmill powered connections, or the slightly more advanced steam powered connection at work (works ok, but the keyboard gets dirty as you're always going in between the computer and shovelling coal to keep it working). Anyway, it's all good news and I have a connection at home, so now I can ramble on for hours. Well, at least I would if it wasn't half past midnight and I didn't have to get up for work tomorrow!

The Deeper Meaning of song lyrics

Every now and then you listen to a song that you've heard a million times before, but suddenly something clicks, and it actually means something to you.

I was listening to a Blink 182 album the other day, not the most mentally challenging lyrical band, but out of the blue the line "How little of myself can I give to make you think that I still care?" Doesn't sound much, but it just seemed to sum things up at that point....

The Landmark First Post

Well here I am, sitting in my office, stealing a little time from my boss to get started on this blog. I think for that reason it's going to be a short posting. I don't know yet if this blog will help me control the anticipation of going to Canada, or whether writing about it incessantly will make the time pass even slower before I head off. I will wait and see....
