Teehee… my camera can do funky cartoonifying of photos, which is damn funky – this is all one photo, but each of the three boxes could’ve had separate photos in there. There is a rudimentary text-adding tool too, but I added the text myself using Gimp instead.
Couldn’t quite fit it on the post – but if you click it, then all should be revealed!
Being essentially a child trapped inside an adult’s body, I joined the general clamour for the final Harry Potter book yesterday (albeit not at midnight – it was probably around 11am by the time I got hold of it, and fully afternoon by the time I’d settled down to start reading!). The idea of killing off people is a genius plan to get people to buy and read in a hurry!
I’d actually pre-ordered the book but since it was due to arrive at work, the temptation to pick up a copy at a loss-making £4.99 from a local grocer was something I wasn’t able to resist – since Cat had done the same thing, come monday we’ll have three copies of the book in our possession, and both have read it (probably twice, in Cat’s case).
So, before I go on to blatant spoiler-age (so read on no further than this paragraph if you don’t want to be spoiled), I did enjoy the book very much, as I have all the series. Whilst starting out as undoubtedly children’s books, there is enough depth and quality of story to keep me interested – and whilst the overriding themes I found incredibly predictable, I wasn’t quite able to fathom out how the outcome would be delivered.
Went out last night for a pseudo-Hen do for Murf at work – I say pseudo, as obviously as a male person I shouldn’t be attending such events. So really it was a work night out. We were in fancy dress, we got suitably drunk, thrown out of a pub for some of the lads opting for an impromptu striptease.
Ended up in The Approach which was a good laugh, and finally a quick trip to the Casino (via an ultimately pointless walk to the Irish, which was closed!) before heading home.
Work was quite painful today – but at least the rest of the team were feeling the pain a bit. Trouble is, upon getting home today I nodded off for a couple of hours or so, and now I can’t sleep – grrrr!
I’ve not moved the domain here yet, but I’ve decided to start blogging on here – mainly ‘coz I really like WordPress, but because I’m too lazy to keep the server-installed version up to date – so I’m moving to the version that the nice WordPress people update for you 🙂 Plus, this version has the capability of merging itself neatly with Facebook, which I quite approve of!
I’ll probably fiddle around with the presentation of the site – I was pondering importing my old posts into here, but then decided they weren’t really that interesting anyway, so sod it!
Goddammit
