Diary of an up and coming sociopath

It’s encouraging to find that Pinky and the Brain is, if anything, funnier than I remember it, because I’m getting jokes now that 7 years ago would’ve gone straight over my head. When I discovered the DVD set was out, I had to go and buy it very quickly, lest I start second guessing my impulse to get it, then I spent a few days concerned I’d just needlessly wasted money. Turned out great, though.

Anticipating the slightly packed weekend, on Friday we went to Tescos and were delighted to find our plans to buy a rotissery chicken to go with some chip shop chips totally bollocksed because the didn’t have any left. Luckily, we then discovered that Andy’s Fish and Chips, the nearest one to where we live, sells them itself, so all plans were back on, even if it did cost us twice as much.

On Saturday, Nikki went down to Brighton (ish) to see Paul and Relly and their kid. I flew solo helping Seb move his stuff down from Oxford to London. It took two trips, at least one of which perhaps skirted the boundaries of lawful behaviour, but we got everything down, and despite the traffic we made pretty good time in doing so as well. I came back and had dinner, and watched some of the aforementioned pinky and the brain, picked Nikki up from the station and finally managed to complete the latest GP to 3 star level on Mario Kart DS. Almost done with that particular project…

Today I went back home quick, though I’ll be back next week as a stopover on my way to the V Festival, which once again managed a stupid dance with SMS. I saw once again, because if you look elsewhere on this blog you’ll find that I’ve never actually managed to have a single smooth delivery from them. This time they totally ignored my redelivery request and 2 days after I was expecting them to be deliverted in London, they told me the tickets were still in the Birmingham depot. I did get them eventually, though I wonder why I ever do anything on their stupid site when I always end up going to their customer service people anyway…
