Finally

It's taken me about 30 hours to make it this far. My parent's machine is a bit of an antique and it's taken me 10 minutes to get from dial up to here this time. All my other attempts have ended in failure.I told them about broadband but they say that it's unavailable in this region at the moment. The wonders of BT...

Already I'm going a bit nuts. There's not much to do in Cloughogue (pronounced Clog). My mum has roped me into clearing out the attic. Today it was books. Lots of books. Very few of them mine. I like mine where I can get them. There were some old notes from school and university. I wrote some shite back then. I decided not to save any of it for posterity except my St. Colman's College report cards. I also found a Christmas present from 1983. Doctor Who - A celebration. 20 Years in Time and Space. Cool. It'll go well with my present from 2003, 40 years in the Tardis. On a Who related note, I've checked my copy of the FASA game I got from eBay. Mint doesn't cover it. Original dice, FASA order form and FASA catalogue. And they're in mint condition too!

I took my father to see The Day After Tomorrow tonight. He didn't like it. "Too slow", he said. I liked it although I thought the plot was guff. The ocean currents weren't even marked correctly. They showed the gulf stream moving from the British Isles to the Gulf of Mexico. Really, where's the realism...?
