recap of last several days

Last Friday I went out to Damage Inc. Yet again I didn't really enjoy it, though that's nothing to do with the night itself, which is fine, but that I think I'm not really the type of person to appreciate "nights out". I think I talked briefly to a maximum of 4 or 5 people, and left early to go and play Splinter Cell at home instead.

On Saturday afternoon I agonised over whether to go and buy myself a graphics tablet, given that I work on artistic things about once every three years. After having decided to do so, I got to PC World to find out that they'd sold out of the ones I wanted, so I came home empty-handed as I do almost any time I attempt to purchase goods. I did however manage to buy a couple of cds from Selectadisc. Surprisingly they managed to give me the correct cds. Unsurprisingly, one of the digipaks is damaged. But I suppose I should have noticed that myself.

Saturday evening saw a visit to jen_whitewave's underground base flat where munchies were consumed, amid episodes of Eerie Indiana and the first Highlander film.

On Sunday I had a long overdue lunch with _arnamentia_ at the Trip, where I had 'Hunter's Chicken', which is essentially chicken, bacon, and bbq sauce. I like the idea of a human hunter, the most cunning and advanced predator ever known, going into the forest to hunt its prey, and only managing to catch a chicken and a pig.

Today I'm back at work, getting electric shocks off my recharging phone. Ace. We have a new guy starting today, who's yet another male-programmer-with-long-hair. This one's from Sweden though, for bonus points.

This week I have virtually nothing planned. So, more Splinter Cell and Oblivion, I expect.
