i love the sound of formula one in the morning

July 5, 2003 — Leave a comment

i fell asleep early last night which in retrospect is a good thing.  tonight is the pride party and these things usually go on til the wee hours of the morning. my plan for today is kind of laid back, drop off some stuff, come home and do some more work on the corporate identity, no massive amounts of blogging today.

i just finished watching the final qualifying for the french grand prix. after the amazing stories in the prequalifying, today’s session was quite tame. it’s interesting to see michael schuemaker struggling for position in what is one of the fastest cars on the track. the new rules for this season have made it quite interesting.

anyway i need to get cracking on some paying work. i’ll be back later.

vic will be in my arms. we may not be in private, but she’ll be in my arms and it’s the little things that count. i miss her. i miss sharing the simple stuff. curling up together, watching tv. tonight i would love to watching fireworks over vic’s shoulder.

sigh. just sitting here and watching the seconds tick away.

i should go out or something. maybe later.

Browse to google and type “weapons of mass destruction” (WITHOUT the quotation marks). Do NOT click Google Search. Instead, click “I’m Feeling Lucky.”  this error message will appear. Read it.

too much time on one’s hands.
back to the movie, actually, time to pack up and head home.

cool toys

July 4, 2003 — Leave a comment

a friend of mine, sent me this very cool toy/link, it’s called

audioscrobbler:

“In a nutshell,  Audioscrobbler endeavours to be your personal music advisor. It grows to know  what music you like by monitoring what songs you play on your computer. From  this information you can discover other users that share some or all of your  taste in music. You can also view data showing what your most-played artists  are, and find out who likes a particular artist the most.   Audioscrobbler makes it easy to find people with similar musical tastes, and allows you to browse their profiles. Automatic suggestion generation is currently under development.”

i’ve signed up and i’m going to post my stats page in the links section here.

and that’s about it. hollywood homicide is boring me a bit, so i’m getting sidetracked.

one more thing

July 4, 2003 — Leave a comment

got this from my friend franka

[ a litte background info, david coleman is a famed english sports commentator]

here are some of his greatest moments:



  1. That’s the fastest time ever run – but it’s not as fast as the world  

    record.



  2. Don’t tell those coming in the final result of that fantastic match, but

    let’s just have another look at Italy’s winning goal.



  3. For those of you watching who do not have television sets, live commentary

    is on Radio 2.



  4. This is a truly international field, no Britons involved.



  5. Both of the Villa scorers – Withe and Mortimer – were born in Liverpool as

    was the Villa manager Ron Saunders who was born in Birkenhead.



  6. He’s 31 this year – last year he was 30.



  7. He won the bronze medal in the 1976 Olympics so he’s used to being out  

    in front.



  8. We estimate, and this isn’t an estimation, that Greta Waltz is 80 seconds

    behind.



  9. Linford Christie’s got a habit of pulling it out when it matters most.



  10. The late start is due to the time.



  11. He’s got his hands on his knees and holds his head in despair.



  12. He’s even smaller in real life than he is on the track.



  13. This could be a repeat of what will happen in the European games next

    week.



  14. It’s a battle with himself and with the ticking fingers of the clock.



  15. Here are some names to look forward to – perhaps in the future.



  16. In the Moscow Olympics Lasse Viren came in fifth and ran a champions race.



  17. He just can’t believe what’s not happening to him.



  18. One of the great unknown champions because very little is known about him.



  19. There’ll be only one winner now – in every sense.



  20. He is accelerating all the time. The last lap was run in 64 seconds and

    the one before that in 62.



  21. The big Cuban opened his legs and showed his class.



  22. (At the velodrome) The front wheel crosses the fininsh line, closely

    followed by the back wheel.

an afternoon at the movies

July 4, 2003 — Leave a comment

the timer works perfectly, i reworked some of the page colours, i’m feeling pretty good about myself. [edit: so i have a stack of dvds that i borrowed. i seemed to have consumed all the indy flicks that are worth seeing that they have, so i`ve borrowed commercial drek]

it being july 4, it’s seems to be a slow news day in the us, so…

did ufo’s originate in ancient india?

Miracles You Will See In The Next 50 Years (From Popular Mechanics, February 1950, Page 112.) [guess we missed the boat somewhere]

are you an irritating colleague

my result:

You are the perfect, dream colleague. Your sunny disposition is cheering and you ALWAYS make the tea. Please feel free to drop down Guardian Unlimited’s chimney once the wind changes.

and your early moment of zen

good morning & happy 4th

July 4, 2003 — Leave a comment

not much to tell this morning, it’s just as good a day as any this week. vic is here in two weeks. i still haven’t figured how to get the clock to sit where i want it to, but i will, fear not.

before i head off work here is your friday five:

1. What were your favorite childhood stories?
that’s a toss up between the enid blyton fantasy books and the hardy boys

2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?
chronicles of narnia (i already did.)

3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?
how covertly racist enid blyton was

4. How old were you when you first learned to read?
about 18 months i think (i used to consume my books, literally, read it, then eat it.)

5. Do you remember the first ‘grown-up’ book you read?  How old were you?
not really sure, i would read anything i could get my hands on. age appropriate material was never high on my list of priorities.

i’m off to work. i’ll post later have a great day.
