Nostalgia TV

I've recently been indulging my penchant for TV sci-fi by watching that classic of the seventies, Battlestar Galactica, on DVD. I'd thought that I'd seen them all over the years but in the first twelve I came across several that I'm sure I hadn't seen before.

And whilst I watched I wondered to myself, "Whatever became of Noah Hathaway (Boxey)?" If you want to know, you can find out here. I was surprised.

BBC 7

Yes, I know that it's listed in the People and Stuff I Like section on the sidebar but I can't state enough how great this site is. I've been listening to the radio available from this site all night (from 7pm 'til now), browsing the programmes available and for the first time really getting involved in the stuff. It's the best evenings entertainment from the BBC I've had in a very long time.

And it's all available for free and about five days worth of broadcasts are there on demand!

Sometimes you realize the license fee is worth it.

It's 3:15am and...

I assume I don't have to finish the sentence...

It's after 3am and everyone has left about two hours ago leaving me to my own devices. I assume everyone had a good time, celebrating degrees and Doctorates.

I enjoyed the whole evening, a meal at a local Thai Restaurant and then on to my place to round out the night. It was also Beren's birthday and we celebrated that too (a little, I think he didn't want to advertise he was 30!)

I feel a little in awe of all my friends. Of all the people present tonight I was almost the only one present without a basic degree ('cause I'm a drop out because of the Commonwealth Potato Collection, long story, and Agent Grey because of reasons [I don't know, but he is my friend] and Rules Monkey for much the same reasons) but I wish them all well. Tonight there was a wealth of the assembled intellect of the UK:
Doctor Beren and Doctor Luthien
Chocolate Muffin Ba
Bubble Ba
Mystery Girl Ba
Chaos Bsc
Doctor Ooze
Doctor Horse Girl
Cool Car Guy Bsc
Dirty Fairy Bsc or whatever a Nursing degree is

If I got anyone's degree wrong, it's my fault for not prying enough. I salute all of you for putting up with the trials and tribulations I couldn't be bothered with at the home stretch of my degree and wish you all the very best of luck in the future. I just wish...But if wishes were horses then I'd be with you...And not at the Mecca!

1.30 am and I'm a bit sozzled

I've had a rough day at work. Nothing worked as I wanted it to, I made some basic mistakes 'cause 14hrs in the same building'll do that to you and it was Saturday night.

When I'd finished I checked my mobile and found that RulesMonkey had invited me to the pub during the Blues Festival. 'Nuff said . I went along to the establishment to find it packed to overflowing and no sign of RulesMonkey or HorseGirl and so went home.

However, my appetite hed been whetted and I was in a fix. I needed a client and so called Beren to see if he was free. A couple of short 'phone calls later saw me at The King and Dead Princess' place for a late evening with Beren, Luthien, Ditrty Fairy, Cool Car Guy, UberOrk and Strange Woman. Nice. I needed booze and company after that day and I was well rewarded.
