Diary: June 2005

They Lied!

I swear I read that the next hitman was coming out on the 6th of June, but it appears that I am wrong, it's not out until September. I am slightly broken, but then there is San Andreas in just over a week, so that's something. I have too much work to be playing games anyway, they'd just sit in the drawer like half life - I've only just reached level 12 there (where you go into the big hole-diggy thing).

In other news, I bought the domain radiac.net 5 years ago today, but the site ...

I Have Two Owwies

Last night I decided that it was not enough to have an ankle with torn ligaments, so I grated my index finger with a nutmeg grater. Ok, maybe that's not quite how it went down, but the end result is the same - a bleeding painful finger with the skin shredded with lots of deep cuts from side to side. And of course it's on my right hand, and just on the corner that makes typing and writing painful. Oh well, could be worse!

Going to see Sin City tonight. No idea what it's about, but I watched ...

Sin City and Driving

So today I did the Home-to-Bath journey again, only this time I stuck to the speed limit (partly experiment, partly poor driving conditions). It took me an extra 40 minutes. So screw that.

It seemed to just be Pulp Fiction in stylised black and white, I've seen more stomach-turning scenes in an episode of ER. But it was definitely still ...

Apples and Chocolate

Yesterday was how all good days should be - productive and yet fun. During the day I did a lot of work on my CMS (I'm making a programming language for it!), and then Leela cooked me macaroni cheese, which was very good. Followed by chocolate pudding, also good, apart from the unwanted ice cream. After that we watched Mean Girls, which is a film about American bitchy high school girls, quite amusing.

I am also thinking about doing something I've promised myself I would never do - buying a mac. I figure I need one to test things I ...

Insolent Dullards

After the joke of last weeks indian takeaway meal where they gave me the wrong meal, I decided to try again, and this time they got it right, hurrah! So Tristan and I ate that while watching Anchorman, fun.

I'm starting to doubt myself with this CMS thing, and wondering if I'm suffering from solitary group-think - that's probably not a good sign, especially as I haven't got very far. I find myself wondering if it will really do what I want as well as I hope it will, and if it does, will that be what ...
