"Kill Bill disappears from local cinema screen. Disaster strikes."

(ok, fake and over-reacting headline, but it'll do as a tagline for this blog). Still not seen it. Basingstoke's possibly next best bet for a decent cinema still showing it (I believe there are two).

Alcoholism

Acoholics who can turn abusive. Don't ya hate 'em? Particularly if they're your landlord. He's a nice guy when he's sober, and he can be pleasant when he's drunk too; but when it's 365days a year and it doesn't take much when he's drunk to "get his goat" as he says, it's gonna happen sometimes.

Party time!

Gonna be a busy few days - 2 full days work Thurs (just done)+Fri, Work xmas party Fri eve's + Saturday 10-4pm work. So don't expect many blogs.

Should have a good Sat. eve's out planned though (for once! almost organised to meet people! Got to try and get my mate Jon out too...)

Kill Bill (part 1)

Have to see Kill Bill some time. Have a group wanting to see it, but trying to get a good time we're all free before it disappears from the screens or gets put onto the smaller crapper screens (7,8,9,.. at our local(ish) Odeon) is hard work.

ADSL ordered (hurrah!!)

HURRAH!! Double exclamation mark!! I ordered ADSL. Just gotta wait for the gear to turn up and my link to be enabled. Might be a few days yet. But hurrah! (again... sorry..) I'll be rid of damn slow modem links and having to dial-up/not able to take phone calls simultaneously.

Girlfriends

You can't live with 'em, ya can't live without 'em. Ok, that's not true... But I'm still single (after a 3yr relationship that ended 1.5yrs ago), and seriously need to get invited out to things like parties and just chat to girls. Part of the problem has been just not knowing many young people in the town I live in after me and my ex split; a lot of old work friends had moved away when a previous employer went belly-up and I hadn't made that many friends outside of the circle of people there. Sure I had my hobbies and stuff, but no good (ie. drinking/hanging out/catching a movie) friends from those groups.

So you start trying to go out and meet people, and it's hard work when you don't have a lot of confidence (yeah - great... lose girlfriend + job within 2 months of each other).

I'm sure people are far more friendly further north, and my town can be a bit cliquey (sp??) but I'm gradually getting to know groups of people. Even (wahey!!) a few nice girls. I'll never be able to pick the courage up to make anything more of it though :-(
